To implement the EEIP, NYSCC will document processes in a program guidebook (“Guidebook”). A draft of the DGEIS and Guidebook are available for public review and comment on the project’s website at: http://www.canals.ny.gov/Earthen_Embankment

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 all services to comply with enacted statutory provisions. The following changes are proposed:

Long Term Care Services

Effective for rate periods on or after July 1, 2021, the case mix index used to adjust the direct component price will be based on all Medicaid-only case mix data submitted by NYS nursing facilities to CMS applicable to the previous six-month period (e.g., April – September for the January case mix adjustment; October – March for the July case mix adjustment). This amendment allows for the inclusion of all assessments submitted by nursing homes which will achieve a higher degree of accuracy in case mix reimbursement, and the reimbursement will be appropriate for the acuity levels.

The estimated annual net aggregate decrease in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to the change in case mix methodology for State Fiscal Year 2022 is $132 million.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment, a copy of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status. Individuals without Internet access may view the State Plan Amendments at any local (county) social services district.

STATEWIDE — Pursuant to 15 CFR 923, the New York State Department of State (DOS) hereby gives notice that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office for Coastal Management (OCM) concurred on May 25, 2021 on the incorporation of the Town of Marlborough Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) into New York State's Coastal Management Program as a Program Change. As of May 25, 2021, the enforceable policies identified in the Table of Approved Changes below shall be applicable in reviewing federal actions pursuant to the federal consistency requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) and its implementing regulations found at 15 CFR part 930. DOS requested OCM's concurrence on this action on March 31, 2021, in a previous notice in the New York State Register, which further described the content of the action.

The Town of Marlborough LWRP was prepared in partnership with DOS and in accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act and the New York State Coastal Management Program. The LWRP is a long-term management program for the waterfront resources of the Town along the Hudson River and Lattintown Creek and is based on the policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program. The Town of Marlborough LWRP provides a detailed inventory and analysis of natural, historic and cultural resources in the Local Waterfront Revitalization Area in the Town, describes existing land and water uses, harbor management, and important economic activities, presents issues and opportunities for future development, and contains enforceable polices to be used for CZMA consistency review purposes.

Pursuant to the New York State Coastal Management Program and Article 42 of the New York State Executive Law, the Town of Marlborough LWRP was adopted by resolution by the Town of Marlborough Town Board on May 11, 2020 and approved by the New York State Secretary of State on November 12, 2020.

OCM’s concurrence includes the following list of changes and qualifications:

Table of Approved Changes to the New York Coastal Management Program (NY-2021-1)

Qualifications

As with previous approvals of NY CMP LWRPs, the enforceable provisions of Section III are only the stated policies and sub-policies. The enforceable policies do not include the explanatory text that accompanies each policy. While the explanatory text may be advisory as to how activities can show consistency with the LWRP policies, the State may not use the explanatory text as a basis for issuing an objection under its CZMA authority. Please also note that for the review of federal actions pursuant to the CZMA, the requirements of the statute and implementing regulations at 15 CFR part 930 are controlling over any conflicting interpretation of the discussion of the CZMA federal consistency requirements within the Town of Marlborough LWRP.

As a standard qualification applying to all program changes, states may not incorporate enforceable policies by reference. If an approved enforceable policy refers to another statute, regulation, policy, standard, guidance, or other such requirement or document, the referenced policy must be submitted to and approved by the Office for Coastal Management as an enforceable policy in order to be applied under the federal consistency review provisions of the CZMA. No referenced policy may be applied for CZMA federal consistency review purposes unless that policy has been separately reviewed and approved as an enforceable policy by the Office for Coastal Management.

The Town of Marlborough Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is available at: https://dos.ny.gov/local-waterfront-revitalization-program on the website of the Department of State. If you have any questions, please contact: Barbara Kendall, Office of Planning, Development & Community Infrastructure, at [email protected]

This proposed rule to modify commercial and recreational management measures in the directed and incidental bluefin tuna (bluefin) fisheries in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The objectives of this Amendment 13 are: (1) Evaluate and optimize the allocation of U.S. bluefin quota among bluefin quota categories, considering historical allocations and use, and recent fishery characteristics and trends, and to provide U.S. fishing vessels with a reasonable opportunity to catch the U.S. quota established by ICCAT; facilitate the ability for active HMS directed permit categories to catch their full bluefin quota allocations, and facilitate directed fishing for species other than bluefin in the pelagic longline fishery while accounting for incidental bluefin catch; (2) Maintain flexibility of the regulations to account for the highly variable nature of the bluefin fisheries, and maintain fairness among permit/quota categories; (3) Continue to manage the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery consistent with the Individual Bluefin Quota (IBQ) Program objectives in Amendment 7 and consistent with the conservation and management objectives of the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP and, its amendments, and consistent with all applicable laws; and (4) Modify the management of the pelagic longline fishery in response to the Three-Year Review of the IBQ Program, and in response to important relevant prevailing trends (e.g., declining fishing effort and revenue for target species).
