Abstract
The DoD is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on June 1, 2022. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs issued this final rule related to certain provisions of three TRICARE interim final rules (IFRs) with request for comments issued in 2020 in response to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE). Subsequent to publication of the final rule, DoD discovered an error in the preamble. This document corrects that error.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 2022-10545 appearing at 87 FR
33001-33015 in the Federal Register of Wednesday, June 1, 2022, the
following corrections are made: On page 33007, in the third column, in
section III.B.a.1, correct the first paragraph to read: ``The IFR
temporarily waived the regulatory requirement that an individual be an
inpatient of a hospital for not less than three consecutive calendar
days before discharge from the hospital (three-day prior hospital stay)
for coverage of a SNF admission for the duration of the COVID-19
national emergency, consistent with a similar waiver under Medicare and
TRICARE's statutory requirement to have a SNF benefit like Medicare's.
The waiver will terminate when the President's national emergency for
COVID-19 is terminated.''
