On September 2, 2016, the Department of Defense published a final rule (81 FR 61068-61098) titled TRICARE; Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment. DoD is making a technical amendment due to the discovery of two errors. We noted in the preamble of the final rule that we had removed the requirements regarding capacity (30 percent) and length of time licensed and at full operational status (6 months) for substance use disorder rehabilitation facilities (SUDRFs). However, we did not remove the necessary sentence in the regulatory text. In a response to a public comment in the preamble of the final rule, we said that TRICARE will require opioid treatment programs (OTPs) to be licensed and operate in substantial compliance with state and federal regulations. However, we did not make the necessary change in the regulatory text. This technical amendment corrects those errors.

TRICARE; Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 2, 2016, the Department of Defense published a 
final rule (81 FR 61068-61098) titled TRICARE; Mental Health and 
Substance Use Disorder Treatment. DoD is making a technical amendment 
due to the discovery of two errors. We noted in the preamble of the 
final rule that we had removed the requirements regarding capacity (30 
percent) and length of time licensed and at full operational status (6 
months) for substance use disorder rehabilitation facilities (SUDRFs). 
However, we did not remove the necessary sentence in the regulatory 
text.
    In a response to a public comment in the preamble of the final 
rule, we said that TRICARE will require opioid treatment programs 
(OTPs) to be licensed and operate in substantial compliance with state 
and federal regulations. However, we did not make the necessary change 
in the regulatory text. This technical amendment corrects those errors.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 3, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Patricia Toppings, 571-372-0485.
