This notice announces the continuation of effectiveness of a Medicare interim final and the extension of the timeline for publication of the final rule. This notice is issued in accordance with section 1871(a)(3)(C) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which allows an interim final rule to remain in effect after the expiration of the timeline specified in section 1871(a)(3)(B) of the Act if prior to the expiration of the timeline, the Secretary publishes in the Federal Register a notice of continuation and explains the exceptional circumstances justifying the extension of the timeline for publishing a final rule.
