SSA-2014-0068] RIN 0960-AH72 Extension of Expiration Dates for Several Body System Listings AGENCY: Social Security Administration. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are extending the expiration dates of the following body systems in the Listing of Impairments (listings) in our regulations: Growth Impairment, Musculoskeletal System, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular System, Digestive System, Hematological Disorders, Skin Disorders, Neurological, and Mental Disorders. We are making no other revisions to these body systems in this final rule.
This extension will ensure that we continue to have the criteria we need to evaluate impairments in the affected body systems at step three of the sequential evaluation processes for initial claims and continuing disability reviews. DATES: This final rule is effective on January 2, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cheryl A. Williams, Director, Office of Medical Policy, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235-6401,
(410)965-1020. For information on eligibility or filing for benefits, call our national toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213, or TTY 1-800-325-0778, or visit our Internet site, Social Security Online, at *http://www.socialsecurity.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background We use the listings in appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR at the third step of the sequential evaluation process to evaluate claims filed by adults and children for benefits based on disability under the title II and title XVI programs. 1 20 CFR 404.1520(d), 416.920(d). The listings are in two parts: Part A has listings criteria for adults and Part B has listings criteria for children. If you are age 18 or over, we apply the listings criteria in part A when we assess your impairment or combination of impairments. If you are under age 18, we first use the criteria in part B of the listings when we assess your impairment(s). If the criteria in part B do not apply, we may use the criteria in part A when those criteria give appropriate consideration to the effects of your impairment(s). 20 CFR 404.1525(b), 416.925(b). 1 We also use the listings in the sequential evaluation processes we use to determine whether a beneficiary's disability continues. See 20 CFR 404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a. Explanation of Changes In this final rule, we are extending the dates on which the listings for nine body systems will no longer be effective as set out in the following chart: Listing Current expiration date Extended expiration date Growth Impairment (100.00) January 30, 2015 January 27, 2017. Musculoskeletal System (1.00 and 101.00) July 31, 2015 January 27, 2017. Respiratory System (3.00 and 103.00) January 30, 2015 January 27, 2017. Cardiovascular System (4.00 and 104.00) July 31, 2015 January 27, 2017. Digestive System (5.00 and 105.00) January 30, 2015 January 27, 2017. Hematological Disorders (7.00 and 107.00) July 31, 2015 January 27, 2017. Skin Disorders (8.00 and 108.00) January 30, 2015 January 27, 2017. Neurological (11.00 and 111.00) July 31, 2015 January 27, 2017. Mental Disorders (12.00 and 112.00) January 02, 2015 January 27, 2017. We continue to revise and update all of the listings on a regular basis, including those body systems not affected by this final rule. We intend to update the nine listings affected by this final rule as quickly as possible, but may not be able to publish final rules revising these listings by the current expiration dates. Therefore, we are extending the expiration dates listed above. Regulatory Procedures Justification for Final Rule We follow the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA)rulemaking procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in promulgating regulations. Section 702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5). Generally, the APA requires that an agency provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing a final regulation. The APA provides exceptions to the notice-and-comment requirements when an agency finds there is good cause for dispensing with such procedures because they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. We determined that good cause exists for dispensing with the notice and public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This final rule only extends the date on which several body system listings will no longer be effective. It makes no substantive changes to our rules. Our current regulations 2 provide that we may extend, revise, or promulgate the body system listings again. Therefore, we determined that opportunity for prior comment is unnecessary, and we are issuing this regulation as a final rule. 2 See the first sentence of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR. In addition, for the reasons cited above, we find good cause for dispensing with the 30-day delay in the effective date of this final rule. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). We are not making any substantive changes to the listings in these body systems. Without an extension of the expiration dates for these listings, we will not have the criteria we need to assess medical impairments in these body systems at step three of the sequential evaluation processes. We therefore find it is in the public interest to make this final rule effective on the publication date. Executive Order 12866, as Supplemented by Executive Order 13563 We consulted with the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)and determined that this final rule does not meet the criteria for a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not review it. We also determined that this final rule meets the plain language requirement of Executive Order 12866. Regulatory Flexibility Act We certify that this final rule does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it affects only individuals. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule does not create any new or affect any existing collections, and therefore does not require OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
