Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings
Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-510, Rules and Regulations Governing the Production, Processing, and Sale of Ice Cream, Frozen Desserts, and Similar Products, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated September 8, 2015, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.
The regulation should be retained in its current form as it provides sufficient safeguards to ensure the safe manufacture and distribution of ice cream and frozen desserts in the Commonwealth. The agency has not received any comments or complaints about the regulation from the public. The regulation is clearly written and allows for the safe manufacture of various forms of ice cream and frozen desserts. This regulation is adopted from the U.S. Department of Agriculture model regulations for the production of frozen desserts and ice cream. The regulation does not conflict with any state or federal regulation. This regulation has been reviewed periodically and was last amended in 2008 to incorporate recommendations from the Attorney General's Government and Regulatory Reform Task Force. Although certain portions of the industry have evolved, the regulation is still relevant and helps to ensure the safe production of ice cream and frozen desserts. This regulation is consistent with the stated objectives of § 3.2-5212 of the Code of Virginia. The regulation is not overly burdensome to the industry, including the small businesses within the industry, is clear and concise, and is necessary to ensure the safe production of ice cream and frozen desserts.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Comment Period for Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment
Virginia is accelerating transformation of its Medicaid delivery system to ensure that high-value care is the norm, and that even the most medically complex enrollees with significant behavioral, physical, sensory, and developmental disabilities can live safely and thrive in the community. To begin this process, the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) is seeking approval of a demonstration project under § 1115 of the Social Security Act (Act) to implement three strategic initiatives. Alignment of the following three initiatives creates a powerful opportunity to strengthen and integrate Virginia Medicaid's community delivery structure and accelerate a shift toward value-based payment.
1. Medicaid Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS);
2. Continuum of Care for Individuals with Substance Use Disorders (SUD); and
3. Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP).
DMAS recognizes that this approach is monumental, however the opportunity is great. To accomplish this, DMAS seeks to build on its current managed care delivery system and extend access to managed care through the MLTSS initiative. MLTSS will provide coordinated medical, behavioral health, and long-term care services and supports for over 100,000 enrollees who are still receiving at least a portion of their care through fee-for-service. In addition, DMAS intends to take advantage of the newly proposed opportunity to strengthen the capability to identify substance use disorder (SUD) among Medicaid members, and redesign the benefits offered and community support structure for those who need access to these critical services. By aligning SUD with the implementation of MLTSS and DSRIP, Virginia can accelerate the transition to contracting for care and services based on value, not utilization. Further, enrollees will have a better care experience when DSRIP is used to invest in resources that offer an enhanced person-centered care model, access to integrated services and providers, and expanded availability of community supports and services.
Current Request for Public Comment on DSRIP
DMAS' ultimate approach will combine these three initiatives into one § 1115 waiver application with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Due to the importance and complexity of this effort, however, DMAS believes that soliciting input independently for each initiative will yield the most comprehensive, focused, and valuable input. DMAS has posted a concept paper on its website (www.dmas.virginia.gov) that describes the design of the DSRIP portion of this waiver application.
All public comments pertaining to DSRIP and the concept paper should be received by DMAS no later than 4 p.m. EST on Monday, October 19, 2015. All submissions shall be Microsoft Word documents, 12-point, Times New Roman font, and no more than five individual pages.
Mail Submission - written comments shall be addressed to Ashley Hazelton, Department of Medical Assistance Services, 600 East Broad Street, Suite 1300, Richmond, VA 23219.
Electronic Submission - for ease in compilation of comments, please ensure the submission is a Microsoft Word document, adhering to the instructions below. Please submit the electronic submission as an email attachment to: dsrip@dmas.virginia.gov.
Due to the significant amount of stakeholder input expected, it is important that the department have a method to catalogue and consider all received information. Please adhere to the instructions in order to ensure that all valued comment and feedback is incorporated into the stakeholder review process. Please note, DMAS must adhere to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) standards. Therefore, once public comment is submitted, that information is in the public domain and may be made available on the DMAS website or to any entity that requests it. Please make every effort to refrain from including proprietary or protected health information in comments, as striking this information is cumbersome for DMAS staff.
Specific Instructions
The key components for DSRIP feedback include the four transformation steps that Virginia Medicaid must take through the support of DSRIP:
1. Integrate service delivery;
2. Build a data platform for integration and usability;
3. Build community capacity; and,
4. Redesign how DMAS pays for services.
In addition to public comment regarding components found in the concept paper, please submit questions that will assist the Department in clarifying the role of DSRIP in Virginia. DMAS will compile these questions and provide responses within several weeks of the close of the public comment period.
Any person who or entity that is considering participating in DSRIP should please include in public comment the following: (i) contact information and (ii) information pertaining to projected implementation needs and appropriate timelines to achieve readiness and successful engagement in the DSRIP demonstration.
This is the initial opportunity to provide formal public comment to the waiver application process. However, DMAS intends to seek additional stakeholder input throughout the DSRIP process. Please visit the DMAS DSRIP webpage often to see the latest materials and progress on the DSRIP development Questions can be sent to dsrip@dmas.virginia.gov. DMAS thanks participants in advance for making Virginia successful in this important delivery system transformation initiative.

Notice of Public Meeting and Public Comment for a Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plan for the Banister River, Winn Creek, and Terrible Creek Watersheds
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan for the Banister River, Winn Creek, and Terrible Creek watersheds in Halifax County. The Banister River and Winn Creek were first listed as impaired on the Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria in 2008. Terrible Creek was first listed as impaired on the Virginia's § 303(D) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria in 2014. The streams have remained on the § 303(d) list for these impairments since then.
The impaired segment of the Banister River extends 2.39 miles from the confluence of Wolf Trap Creek to the mouth on the Dan River. The impaired segment of Winn Creek extends 6.94 miles from the headwaters to the mouth on the Banister River. The impaired segment of Terrible Creek extends 4.77 miles from the confluence of Little Terrible Creek to the mouth on the Banister River.
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. In addition, § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires expeditious implementation of total maximum daily loads when appropriate. The implementation plan (IP) should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. DEQ completed bacteria TMDLs for the Banister River and Winn Creek watershed in May 2013. The TMDLs were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on July 2013. The TMDL report is available on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/
TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/ApprovedTMDLReports.aspx.
The final public meeting will be held to finalize the development of this TMDL implementation plan Tuesday, October 27, 2015, from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Mary Bethune Administration Building Board Room, 1030 Cowford Road, Halifax, VA 24558.
