          Pursuant to section 801(a) (2) (A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers
          for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), entitled Medicaid Program;
          Modification of the Medicaid Upper Payment Limit Transition Period for Inpatient
          Hospital Services, Outpatient Hospital Services, Nursing Facility Services,
          Intermediate Care Facility Services for the Mentally Retarded, and Clinic Services

          Federal Register as a final rule on September 5, 2001. 66 Fed. Reg. 46397.

          The final rule modifies the Medicaid upper payment limit (UPL) provisions by
          establishing a new transition period for states that submitted plan amendments
          before March 13, 2001, that do not comply with the new UPL's effective on that date
          (but do comply with prior UPL's) and were approved on or after January 22, 2001.
          This new transition period applies to payments for inpatient hospital services,
          outpatient hospital services, nursing facility services, intermediate care facility
          services for the mentally retarded, and clinic services.
