## Abstract

In the March 26, 2004 issue of the Federal Register (69 FR 16054), we published an interim final rule with comment period that incorporated into regulations certain provisions of the physician self- referral prohibition in section 1877 of the Social Security Act. The effective date of that rule was July 26, 2004. This correcting amendment corrects a technical error identified in the March 26, 2004 interim final rule. Specifically, this rule reinstates the physician self-referral advisory opinion regulations, which were inadvertently deleted from Part 411 in the March 26, 2004 interim final rule.
