DATES: Comments on the proposed rule published on July 10, 2015 (80 FR 39839), continue to be accepted until September 4, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hillary Loeffler, (410) 786-0456. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In FR Doc. 2015-16790, published in the Federal Register of July 10, 2015 (80 [[Page 46216]] FR 39839), there were technical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section of this correcting document. II. Summary of Errors On page 39854, in our discussion of case-mix weights, there was a sorting error in Table 9: CY 2016 Case-Mix Payment Weights. On page 39906, in our discussion of the overall impact of the home health prospective payment system in CY 2016, we inadvertently provided the incorrect percent decrease in expenditures when comparing CY 2015 payments to estimated CY 2016 payments.
