SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In FR Doc. 2018-21223 of October 2, 2018 (83 FR 49513), there were 
technical and typographical errors that are identified and corrected in 
the Correction of Errors section of this document.

II. Summary of Errors

    On page 49513, we in inadvertently made a typographical error in 
the alphanumeric portion of the regulation identification number (RIN).
    On page 49523, in our discussion of the ``Notice of a Remand,'' we 
inadvertently referenced an incorrect subsection of the regulation. In 
noting the corresponding change to part 423, subpart U, we erroneously 
referenced Sec.  423.2056(d)(1) instead of Sec.  423.2056(f).
    On page 49525, in the ``Regulatory Impact Statement,'' although our 
calculation of the total amount of time that would be saved by not 
requiring appellants to sign appeals was correct, we made an 
inadvertent typographical error in the formula used to calculate this 
amount. Instead of referencing .083 hours, we incorrectly listed .0083 
hours in the formula.

III. Correction of Errors

    In FR Doc. 2018-21223 of October 2, 2018 (83 FR 49513), make the 
following corrections:
    1. On page 49513, second column, line 5, the alphanumeric term 
``AT27'' is corrected to read ``AT62'' in the RIN.
    2. On page 49523, first column, first full paragraph, last line 23, 
the reference ``Sec.  423.2056(d)(1)'' is corrected to read ``Sec.  
423.2056(f)''.
    3. On page 49525, first column, first partial paragraph, line 2, 
the figure ``.0083'' is corrected to read ``.083''.

    Dated: November 29, 2018.

Executive Secretary to the Department, Department of Health and Human 
Services.
