SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the FR Doc. 2022-17063 of August 9, 2022 (87 FR 48482), we published a Paperwork Reduction Act notice requesting a 60-day public comment period for the document entitled “Rehabilitation Unit and Hospital Criteria Worksheet.” There were technical delays associated with making the information collection request publicly available; therefore, in this notice we are extending the comment period from the date originally listed in the August 9, 2022, notice.
