TRICARE; Removal of Certain Temporary Regulation Changes Made in Response to COVID-19

The ASD(HA) is issuing this direct final rule to remove certain temporary regulation changes put in place in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that were automatically terminated by the end of the President's national emergency and the associated Health and Human Services (HHS) Public Health Emergency (PHE). This rule is being published as a direct final rule as the Department does not expect to receive any adverse comments. If such comments are received, and are significant, this direct final rule will be withdrawn and a proposed rule for comments will be published.
