Abstract
This document announces the extension of the timeline for publication of the "Medicare Program; Reporting and Returning of Overpayments" final rule. We are issuing this notice in accordance with the Social Security Act (the Act) which requires notice to be provided in the Federal Register if there are exceptional circumstances that cause us to publish a final rule more than 3 years after the publication date of the proposed rule. In this case, the complexity of the rule and scope of comments warrants the extension of the timeline for publication.
