SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 26, 2014 we published an NPRM at
79 FR 10730 that proposed to revise our medical criteria for evaluating
HIV infection and functional limitations in immune system disorders. We
provided the public with a 60-day comment period. The NPRM incorrectly
included criteria in listing of impairment 113.00 that we did not
intend to include. We are correcting that error and extending the
comment period in order that the public may have a full sixty days to
comment following this correction.

issue of Wednesday, February 26, 2014, in the proposed regulatory
language section, make the following corrections:

A. that reads, ``If you have HIV infection, we use the criteria in

and squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal and anal margin.''.
Extension of Comment Period
This notice requested that the public submit comments by April 28,
2014.
