Abstract
This document corrects the final rule published January 2, 1997 (62 FR 26) that added the requirement that, for cost reporting periods ending on or after February 1, 1997, most skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies must submit cost reports currently required under the Medicare regulations in a standardized electronic format. The final rule also provided for a delay or waiver of this requirement where implementation would result in financial hardship for a provider. This document is necessary to conform the description of the rule in the preamble to the regulations text.
