Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:

The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for institutional, non-institutional, and long term care services to comply with enacted statutory provisions. The following changes are proposed:

All Services

The Department’s proposal to adjust rates to take into account increased labor costs resulting from statutorily required increases in the New York State minimum wage is being amended to reflect a revision in the Medicaid expenditures. Under the statute, increases in the minimum wage will be phased in over a number of years until the minimum wage is $15 per hour in all regions of the State, and Medicaid rates will be adjusted in those years to account for such increases.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2016/2017 is approximately $18,000,000 and state fiscal year 2017/2018 is approximately $104,000,000.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment (SPA), copies of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status. In addition, SPAs approved since 2011are also available for viewing on this website.

Copies of the proposed State Plan Amendments will be on file in each local (county) social services district and available for public review.

For the New York City district, copies will be available at the following places:

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

In F-2016-0668, Village of Haverstraw (Henry Hudson Quadricentennial Park), is proposing to install a walkway around Bowline Pond to provide public access to the waterfront within the Village of Haverstraw, Rockland County. As a result of wave and current activity from the Hudson River, the shoreline in Henry Hudson Quadricentennial Park is experiencing severe erosion. Walkways bordering the water are damaged by flooding, creating a waterfront access point that is unsafe and unsightly. To prevent erosion of the proposed and existing infrastructure, an engineered shoreline will be placed where necessary. The project will reinforce certain erosion prone areas of the site with an engineered sill. Soft shoreline protection methods, such as brush mattresses, live states and live fascines, will also be utilized for stabilization and promotion of a healthy ecosystem. A portion of the path subject to flooding during extreme high tides will be raised. The stated purpose of the proposed activity is to provide safe and enjoyable public access to the waterfront, and to stabilize the shoreline in order to prevent erosion and loss of infrastructure.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, December 8, 2016.
