Request for Applications.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In FR Doc. 2011-12383 of May 20, 2011 (76 FR 29249), there was a
technical error that has been identified and corrected in the section
III. of this notice (Correction of Errors section).
II. Summary of Errors
On page 29250 of the notice in the DATES section, we inadvertently
requested that the Office of the Federal Register base the application
submission deadline on the 60th day after publication of the notice
(that is, July 19, 2011) instead of postmarked on or before July 18,
2011 which was noted in the information posted on our Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Web site and in the Pioneer ACO
Application. (For more information see http://innovations.cms.gov/areas-of-focus/seamless-and-coordinated-care-models/pioneer-aco/.)
Therefore, in section III. of this correction notice, we correct this
error by inserting the date of the application submission deadline that
coincides with the application submission deadline announced in the
Request for Application posted on the CMMI Web site, which is
postmarked on or before July 18, 2011.
III. Correction of Errors
In FR Doc. 2011-12383 of May 20, 2011 (76 FR 29249), make the
following correction:
1. On page 29250, in the DATES section, lines 10 and 11, the
sentence ``Applications must be received on or before July 19, 2011.''
is corrected to read ``Applications must be postmarked on or before
July 18, 2011.''
Authority: Section 1115A of the Social Security Act.
Dated: June 2, 2011.
