        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver of Disapproval of Nurse Aide Training Program in Certain Cases and Nurse Aide Petition for Removal of Information for Singular Finding of Neglect (CMS-2266-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will permit a waiver of a nurse aide training disapproval as it applies to skilled nursing facilities, in the Medicare program, and nursing facilities, in the Medicaid program, that are assessed a civil money penalty of at least $5,000 for noncompliance that is not related to quality of care. This is a statutory provision enacted by section 932 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-173, enacted December 8, 2003.)  This rule also codifies statutory provisions at sections 1819(g)(1)(D) and 1919(g)(1)(D) of the Social Security Act that permit the State to establish a procedure for a nurse aide to petition the State to have a singular finding of neglect removed from the nurse aide registry.]]></ABSTRACT>
