COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, ex rel.
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION
CASE NO. INS-2021-00110
Ex Parte: In the matter of the
Implementation of the Commonwealth Health
Reinsurance Program
ORDER FOR NOTICE, COMMENT AND HEARING
During the 2021 Special Session I, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapter 480 (HB 2332) of the 2021 Virginia Acts of Assembly. This bill requires the State Corporation Commission ("Commission"), upon approval of a State Innovation Waiver request ("1332 waiver" or "waiver") submitted pursuant to § 1332 of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 124 Stat. 119, to establish the Commonwealth Health Reinsurance Program ("Program") beginning January 1, 2023.1 This Order notices the instant proceeding, provides an opportunity for public comment on the 1332 waiver application, as well as schedules a hearing, as required under federal law prior to submission of the waiver application.
Pursuant to HB 2332, the Program will be funded through state general funds and federal pass-through funding provided under the waiver, and will reimburse carriers in the individual health insurance market for a proportion of the claims of covered individuals with high annual costs. The Program is intended to increase affordability of health insurance coverage in the individual market with a goal of decreasing premiums.
HB 2332 sets out the framework for the Program, including carrier eligibility, the basis for determining medical expenditures, and the process by which benefits will be applied for and paid. The bill also requires the Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources ("Secretary") to convene a work group of relevant stakeholders ("Work Group") to consider initiatives, including a state-based subsidy program, to increase affordability of health plans to individuals and to increase enrollment in the Virginia Health Benefit Exchange. The provisions of the bill, other than the requirement that the Commission apply for the 1332 waiver, will become effective 30 days after notice of approval of the waiver request.
Under the guidance of the Secretary, the Virginia HB 2332 Work Group held six meetings during the summer of 2021 and received presentations from experts on the 1332 waiver program, other states' health care affordability initiatives, and Virginia's uninsured population. The Work Group recommended that the waiver application include only the Program and not any additional cost savings programs, such as premium subsidies.
Section 38.2-6606 A of the Code of Virginia ("Code") requires the Commission to submit a 1332 waiver application to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services by January 1, 2022 and make a draft waiver application available for public review and comment by October 1, 2021.2 Prior to submitting the waiver application, federal rules3 require that the Commission provide for a public notice and comment period sufficient to ensure a meaningful level of public input for a section 1332 waiver. Federal rules further require the public notice and comment period to include a separate process for meaningful consultation with all federally recognized Indian tribes4 within a state's borders. Finally, the Commission is required to conduct public hearings that provide for the opportunity to learn about and comment on the contents of the waiver application.
NOW THE COMMISSION, upon consideration of this matter, notes that the waiver application process requires its prompt review and receipt of input from the public and interested persons, as well as comment from the federally recognized Indian tribes located in Virginia, before the waiver application is submitted. Therefore, the Commission is establishing this schedule in advance of the due date of the waiver application to receive timely input on this matter.
In inviting public comment and setting the hearings, the Commission takes judicial notice of the ongoing public health issues related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19. The Commission has taken certain actions, and may take additional actions going forward, that could impact procedures in this matter. The Commission has requested, and received approval for, modification to the federal requirements for in-person public hearing to allow these hearings to be held virtually because of the ongoing COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) This matter is docketed and assigned Case No. INS-2021-00110 for purposes of receiving input from the public and interested persons in this matter.
(2) The Bureau of Insurance ("Bureau") will establish a webpage on the Commission's website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Reinsurance-Waiver to inform the public and interested persons about the Program. The draft 1332 waiver application will be posted on the website on or before October 1, 2021.
(3) The Commission's Division of Information Resources is directed to post this Order on the Commission's website. On or before November 1, 2021, any interested person may file written comments on the waiver application by following the instructions found on the Commission's website: scc.virginia.gov/casecomments/Submit-Public-Comments. Those unable, as a practical matter, to file comments electronically may file such comments by U.S. mail to the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218-2118. All comments shall refer to Case No. INS-2021-00110.
(4) The Commission's Division of Information Resources shall forward a copy of this Order to the Register of Regulations for publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations.
(5) The Division of Information Resources shall cause a notice for comment and public hearing to be published in classified advertising on one occasion by October 1, 2021 in newspapers of general circulation throughout the Commonwealth.
(6) The Bureau shall consult with the Secretary of the Commonwealth for assistance in contacting representatives from the seven federally recognized Indian tribes within Virginia's borders. The Bureau also shall provide information on the Program and the waiver application to the Indian tribes, extend an opportunity to meet with them, and request that the Indian tribes provide comment, either collectively or individually, regarding the waiver application.
(7) Due to the ongoing public health emergency related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, the Commission hereby schedules telephonic hearings for the receipt of public comment from interested persons on the Program, as follows:
a. Two public hearings will be conducted to receive oral comments from the public and interested persons regarding the Program under consideration in this matter. As provided by § 12.1-31 of the Code, the Office of Hearing Examiners is directed to conduct these public hearings on behalf of the Commission.
b. These hearings shall occur on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 10:00 am and on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 7:00 pm.
c. The Bureau is directed to provide an overview of the Program at the beginning of each public hearing so that participants have an opportunity to learn about and comment on the contents of waiver application.
d. To promote fairness for all persons offering comments, each person will be allotted up to five minutes to provide their comments. This time may be adjusted by the Hearing Examiner as necessary.
e. On or before October 12, 2021, any person desiring to offer comments in this matter shall provide to the Commission (a) their name, and (b) the telephone number that they wish the Commission to call during the hearing to receive their comments. This information may be provided to the Commission in three ways: (i) by filling out a form on the Commission's website at scc.virginia.gov/pages/Webcasting; (ii) by completing and emailing the PDF version of this form to SCCInfo@scc.virginia.gov; or (iii) by calling (804) 371-9141.
f. After the Bureau presentations at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on October 14, 2021, the Commission will telephone sequentially each person who has signed up to speak as provided above.
g. Each public hearing will be webcast at scc.virginia.gov/pages/Webcasting.

STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD
Amendment of Water Quality Management Planning Regulation
Notice of action: The State Water Control Board is considering the amendment of the regulation on water quality management planning in accordance with the Public Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning. A regulation is a general rule governing people's rights or conduct that is upheld by a state agency.
Purpose of notice: The board is seeking comments through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on the proposed amendment. The purpose of the amendment to the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation (9VAC25-720) is to adopt 16 new total maximum daily load (TMDL) wasteload allocations.
Public comment period: October 11, 2021, through November 10, 2021.
Description of proposed action: DEQ staff will propose amendments of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation for the Potomac-Shenandoah River Basin (8VAC25-720-50 A), Roanoke River Basin (8VAC25-720-80 A), and the York River Basin (9VAC25-720-120 A). Statutory authority for promulgating these amendments can be found in § 62.1-44.15 of the Code of Virginia.
Staff intends to recommend that (i) the board approve the three TMDL reports as the plans for the pollutant reductions necessary for attainment of water quality goals in the impaired segments, (ii) the board authorize inclusion of the three TMDL reports in the appropriate Water Quality Management Plans, and (iii) the board adopt 16 new TMDL wasteload allocations (WLAs) as part of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4006 A 14 and B of the Code of Virginia.
The TMDL reports were developed in accordance with federal regulations (40 CFR 130.7) and are exempt from the provisions of Article 2 (§ 2.2-4006 et seq.) of the Virginia Administrative Process Act. The reports were subject to the TMDL public participation process contained in DEQ's Public Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning. The public comment process provides the affected stakeholders an opportunity for public appeal of the TMDL.
As of July 1, 2014, TMDL WLAs can receive State Water Control Board approval prior to EPA approval due to amendments outlined in § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Code of Virginia. The TMDL reports in this public notice have been reviewed by EPA for required TMDL elements, however, remain in draft form awaiting State Water Control Board approval. The draft reports can be found at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/water/water-quality/tmdl-development/draft-tmdls.

Community Meeting and Public Comment Period for Total Maximum Daily Load for Moores and Mill Creeks
Public meeting: Tuesday, October 19, 2021, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Bank Barn, McCormick Farm/Shenandoah Valley Agriculture Research and Extension Center (128 Cyrus McCormick Cir, Raphine, Virginia)
Note: In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be held on October 20, 2021, at the same time and location.
Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), for Moores and Mill Creeks in Rockbridge County, Virginia. These streams are listed on the § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's general (benthic) water quality.
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the State Water Control Law requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) Priority List and Report.
Description of study: Moores Creek is located in northern Rockbridge County, with its headwaters just below the Augusta-Rockbridge County line. The impaired segment begins at the headwaters in Raphine and continues nine miles south to the confluence with South River. Mill Creek is located in Rockbridge County above the City of Lexington. The impaired segment is 9.14 miles in length. It begins at the headwaters of the stream south of Fairfield and continues to the confluence with the Maury River above Lexington.
Moores and Mill Creeks have been placed on Virginia's impaired waters list for failing to support the benthic water quality standard. This standard is intended to protect the aquatic life designated use, which states that all of the Commonwealth's waterways will support a diverse and abundant population of aquatic life. This study will include a benthic stressor analysis to determine the most likely pollutants responsible for the impairments, and it will report on the sources of these pollutants and recommend reductions to meet a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for the impaired streams. A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant a water body can contain and still meet water quality standards. To restore water quality in Moores and Mill Creeks, pollutant levels will need to be reduced to the TMDL amount. A component of a TMDL is the wasteload allocation (WLA); therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Code of Virginia for any future adoption of the TMDL WLAs.
An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL will be established. Persons interested in assisting should notify the DEQ contact person listed at the end of this notice by the end of the comment period and provide their name, address, phone number, email address, and the organization they are representing (if any). Notification of the composition of the panel will be sent to all applicants.
How to comment and participate: All meetings in support of TMDL development are open to the public, and all interested parties are welcome. Written comments will be accepted from October 20, 2021, through November 18, 2021, and should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. For more information or to submit written comments, please contact Nesha McRae.
