SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice that was published in the Federal

Service proposes to (1) establish definitions governing the CHEF, 
including definitions of disasters and catastrophic illnesses; (2) 
establish that a Service Unit shall not be eligible for reimbursement 
for the cost of treatment from CHEF until its cost of treating any 
victim of such catastrophic illness or disaster has reached a certain 
threshold cost; (3) establish a procedure for reimbursement of the 
portion of the costs for authorized services that exceed such threshold 
costs; (4) establish a procedure for payment from CHEF for cases in 
which the exigencies of the medical circumstances warrant treatment 
prior to the authorization of such treatment; and (5) establish a 
procedure that will ensure no payment will be made from CHEF to a 
Service Unit to the extent the provider of services is eligible to 
receive payment from any other Federal, State, local, or private source 
of reimbursement for which the patient is eligible.
    This comment period is being extended to allow all interested 
parties the opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. Therefore, we
