Northern Virginia Ozone Nonattainment Area - Precursors to the Pollutant Ozone
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
is seeking public comment and announcing a public hearing on a proposed 2017
base year inventory for precursors to the pollutant ozone, which are carbon
monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and volatile organic compounds
(VOC), in the Northern Virginia Ozone Nonattainment Area. The Commonwealth
intends to submit the inventory as a revision to the Virginia State
Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP
is the plan developed by Virginia in order to fulfill its responsibilities
under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the overall 2017
inventory for the Northern Virginia portion of the Metropolitan Washington,
DC-MD-VA Ozone Nonattainment Area, which is classified as marginal for the 2015
NAAQS, and consists of the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince
William and the Cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and
Manassas Park.
Public comment period: March 30, 2020, to April 29, 2020.
Public hearing:
A public hearing will be conducted at the Department of Environmental
Quality, Northern Region Office, 13901 Crown Court, Woodbridge, Virginia, at
10 a.m. on April 29, 2020. A map and directions may be found at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Locations/NorthernRegionalOffice.aspx.
Description of proposal: The proposal consists of a
comprehensive inventory of actual emissions from all sources of relevant
pollutants for the base year 2017. This inventory, once finalized, will be the
basis for any future planning exercises that have as a goal compliance with the
2015 ozone NAAQS. The proposal was prepared by the Metropolitan Washington Air
Quality Committee (MWAQC), which consists of elected officials from the
affected localities and representatives of state transportation and air quality
planning agencies.
The complete proposal is available at
https://www.mwcog.org/documents/2020/01/24/washington-dc-md-va-2015-ozone-naaqs-nonattainment-area-base-year-2017-emissions-inventory-/.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the
public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102).
The proposed inventory and supporting technical documents will be submitted as
a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the
federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104.

STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION
Bureau of Insurance
February 24, 2020
Administrative Letter 2020-01
*Revised March 10, 2020
TO: All Carriers Licensed to Write Accident and Sickness
Insurance in Virginia, All Health Services Plans and Health Maintenance
Organizations Licensed in Virginia, and Interested Parties
RE: Instructions Related to Health Care Shared Savings
Incentive Programs in Virginia
The purpose of this Administrative Letter is to provide
guidance to carriers regarding the statutory requirements that apply to Health
Care Shared Savings Incentive Programs ("Program" or
"Programs") in Virginia as set forth in Article 8 of Chapter 34 of
Title 38.2 of the Code of Virginia ("Code").
Article 8 requires carriers offering health benefit plans in
the small group market in Virginia to have in place components of a Program and
an online interactive comparative mechanism for estimated in-network
out-of-pocket costs. In preparation for the Bureau of Insurance's review of
each Program and to assist carriers in developing and describing acceptable
Programs in plan materials for 2021, we offer the following guidance for
submission timelines:
Interactive Comparative Mechanism
Pursuant to § 38.2-3463 of the Code, each health carrier
offering or renewing health benefit plans in the small group market on or after
July 1, 2020 must establish an interactive mechanism on its website that
enables a covered person to request and obtain the estimated out-of-pocket cost
to the covered person for comparable health care services from network
providers, as well as quality data for providers, as available. Out-of-pocket
estimates must be good-faith estimates of the amount the covered person will be
responsible to pay for health care services, including cost-sharing.
File Health Care Shared Savings Incentive Program
Pursuant to § 38.2-3462 of the Code, beginning with plans
offered or renewed on or after January 1, 2021, each health carrier offering a
small group health benefit plan in Virginia must develop and implement a Program
that provides incentives for covered persons to shop for comparable health care
services from health care providers that are paid less than the average
in-network allowed amounts for that service.
By April 30, 2020, each health carrier must file with the
Bureau of Insurance via the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing (SERFF)
using the Type of Insurance (TOI) and Filing Type of "Shared Savings
Program" under the Accident/Health Business Type. The filing must include
a description of the Program to be effective January 1, 2021 that addresses the
following:
1. A demonstration that the Program is cost effective by
providing projected information in an Excel format using the "Health Care
Shared Savings – Demonstration of Cost Effectiveness" template at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/boi/co/health/index.aspx
and including any data relied on in making such a determination. The Bureau
will consider a Program as cost effective if the claim savings are greater than
the paid incentive plus the cost to administer the Program;
2. The specific incentives and processes used to earn such
incentives, including how the covered person requests the average allowed
amount, how incentives are paid, along with any eligibility and documentation
requirements;
3. How average allowed amounts for health care services are
calculated. The amounts must be calculated over a period not to exceed one
year; however, the Bureau suggests that the average allowed amounts be based on
a median of the most current allowed amounts by region, as region is determined
by the carrier;
4. How the Program will be made available as a component to all
small group health benefit plans, including instructions for employees and
notification of availability, incentives and tax treatment; and
5. Any comparable health care services included in the Program
in addition to those listed in § 38.2-3461. The carrier shall identify any
health care services specifically included in the definition of comparable
health care services that do not meet the variation standards noted in the
definition and that the carrier does not consider to be comparable health care
services.
On or before the date the Bureau approves filed forms for the
2021 plan year small group market, the Bureau will notify health carriers
whether the carrier's Program complies with statutory requirements. After this
initial filing, the Bureau expects each carrier to submit for review the above
information prior to offering any Program that varies from the previously filed
and reviewed Program.
Plan Materials - Description of Program
As part of the SERFF form filings for the 2021 benefit year,
unless granted an exemption as described below, plan materials to be issued in
the small group market must inform the covered person of:
• the person's eligibility for an incentive payment;
• a website URL for the interactive mechanism where the covered
person can view quality data and the estimated out-of-pocket cost from network
providers for comparable health care services covered under that person's
health benefit plan; and
• the process to request the average allowed amount for a
comparable health care service.
Plan Exemption
Health carriers with plans with a limited provider network may
file with the Bureau a request for an exemption from participating in the
Program by demonstrating that the plan's network is incompatible with the
Program. A carrier's plans may be exempt if the carrier cannot demonstrate cost
effectiveness as described above and in the "Health Care Shared Savings –
Demonstration of Cost Effectiveness" template as referenced above. Plan
exemption will be valid through the calendar year for which it was granted, or
until the information supporting exemption is no longer valid, whichever occurs
earlier. Annual requests for exemption must be filed by March 15 of the year
prior to the requested exemption year.
Annual Report
As described in subsection J of § 38.2-3462 of the Code, each
health carrier will be required to file the "Health Care Shared Savings –
Annual Report" at http://www.scc.virginia.gov/boi/co/health/index.aspx
by April 1 of each year beginning April 1, 2022, unless all of a carrier's
plans are determined exempt. It is anticipated that this filing will be made
through SERFF as well, the details of which will be provided later.
This letter describes and summarizes the requirements of
Article 8 of Chapter 34 of Title 38.2 of the Code. The provisions of each of
these sections should be reviewed carefully for compliance.
Any questions concerning this Administrative Letter may be
addressed to: David Shea, MAA, FSA, Health Actuary, Bureau of Insurance, david.shea@scc.virginia.gov.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Director's
Determination for a Small Renewable Energy (Water Related) Permit by Rule
Pursuant to the Small Renewable Energy Projects Act of 2009
(§ 10.1-1197.5 et seq. of the Code of Virginia), the department is
directed to develop one or more permits by rule "if it is determined by
the Department that one or more such permits by rule are necessary for the
construction and operation of small renewable energy projects." Regulatory
advisory panels (RAPs) comprised of stakeholders were established for each
renewable source category (i.e., wind, solar, combustion, and water) to make
recommendations regarding a permit by rule (PBR) for each energy source. The director
has approved a PBR regulation for wind energy projects, solar energy projects,
and combustion energy projects.
The water-related RAP made a consensus recommendation in the
fall of 2011 that it was not necessary or appropriate under current conditions
for DEQ to develop a PBR regulation for renewable energy projects that generate
electricity from falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power. The
RAP further recommended that DEQ reevaluate the potential need for a PBR
regulation concerning these water-related renewable energy resources in 2014 or
sooner if circumstances or public requests so indicate. The director issued a
decision memorandum on December 2, 2011, in which the director accepted the
RAP's recommendation.
DEQ completed the reevaluation of the potential need for a PBR
regulation concerning these water-related renewable energy resources in 2014
and on November 6, 2014, the director (i) determined that it was still not
necessary or appropriate to develop a PBR and (ii) directed a reevaluation of
the need for a PBR in 2019 or sooner if circumstances or public requests so
indicate.
As part of the 2019 reevaluation of the need for a PBR
regulation concerning these water-related renewable energy resources, an
opportunity for the public to comment on the reevaluation of the RAP
recommendation for small renewable energy (water related) PBR regulation was
announced through a Virginia Regulatory Town Hall General Notice on January 10,
2020. The public comment period began January 10, 2020, and ended February 10,
2020. The notice provided an opportunity for the public to submit comments
concerning the consensus recommendation of the RAP members. No comments were
received during the public comment period.
Department staff are not aware of any circumstances,
technological developments, changes to federal or state laws, or other factors
that have changed since the director's 2014 reevaluation.
On February 28, 2020, DEQ completed the reevaluation and the director
(i) determined that it is still not necessary or appropriate to develop a PBR
at the present time for small renewable energy projects that generate
electricity from falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power and (ii)
requested staff to advise the director when technical developments or changes
to federal or state law occur that would warrant the reevaluation of the need
for the development of a PBR for small renewable energy projects that generate
electricity from falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH and VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL
ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Legal Notice of Request for
Certificate of Public Need Applications
Comment period: March 30, 2020, through April 13, 2020.
Pursuant to the requirements of §
32.1-102.3:2 of the Code of Virginia, notice is hereby given of
consideration of the need to issue a request for applications (RFA) for the
development of additional nursing home beds in Virginia. This notice reviews
the qualification of Virginia's 22 health planning districts for the
authorization of additional nursing home beds pursuant to applicable law and
regulation (12VAC5-230-610).
Evaluation of Need for Additional Nursing Home Beds: The
"Nursing Home Services" component of the Virginia State Medical
Facilities Plan (SMFP) (12VAC5-230-10 et seq.)
contains a nursing home bed need forecasting method (12VAC5-230-610).
This method has been employed by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to
compute a forecast of needed nursing home beds in 2022 in each of Virginia's 22
health planning districts. For conduct of the certificate of public need
program, VDH continues to recognize the former Planning District 20,
Southeastern Virginia, and the former Planning District 21, Peninsula, rather
than the current combined Planning District 23, Hampton Roads.
Consistent with the SMFP (12VAC5-230-610
A), a health planning district is considered to have a need for
additional nursing home beds when (i) the median annual occupancy of all existing
nonfederal, Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the planning district was at
least 93%; and (ii) the average annual occupancy of all existing nonfederal,
Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the planning district was at least 90% for
the most recent year for which bed utilization has been reported to VDH
(through nursing home filings with Virginia Health Information Inc.). The
Veterans Care Centers are excluded by regulation from consideration in the determination
of nursing home bed need. For purposes of this notice, 2017 is the most recent
year of nursing home utilization data reported to Virginia Health Information.
Also, no health planning district will be considered to have a
need for additional nursing home beds if there are uncompleted nursing home
beds that were authorized for the health planning district within the last
three years and that will be Medicaid-certified beds. The following table
displays, by health planning district, the nursing home gross bed need forecast
for 2022, the current licensed bed inventory plus authorized additions of
nursing home beds, and the net bed need forecast for 2022.
The table also shows the average annual percent occupancy and
the median annual percent occupancy of Medicaid-certified nursing homes in each
health planning district for the 2017 reporting year. The final column of the
table states whether the health planning district qualifies for additional
nursing home beds for the 2022 planning horizon year, and it identifies any
health planning district with uncompleted nursing home beds that are expected
to be certified by Medicaid when this determines the health planning district's
qualification for an RFA.
Sources: Virginia State Medical
Facilities Plan (12VAC5-230-610);

projections, 2019 edition); 2014 Virginia Nursing Home Patient-Origin Survey,
VDH Office of Licensure and Certification (for age-specific nursing home use
rates); VDH Office of Licensure and Certification (for bed inventory).
Conclusion:
The RFA for nursing home beds issued in 2019 is hereby issued
as a notice that no need exists for additional nursing home beds. As shown in
the preceding table, no health planning district is identified by the standards
of the SMFP as having a forecasted need for nursing home beds by 2022. No
health planning district in Virginia currently meets the four-part test for
qualification by:
1) Having a positive formula-generated need projection;
2) Having a median annual occupancy percentage of
Medicaid-certified nursing homes for the most recent reporting year of 93% or
higher;
3) Having an average annual occupancy percentage of
Medicaid-certified nursing homes for the most recent reporting year of 90% or
higher; and
4) Having no uncompleted nursing home beds authorized within
the last three years that will be Medicaid certified.
Any person objecting to this notice may notify the State Health
Commissioner and the State Board of Health within 14 days of publication of
this notice in the Virginia Register of Regulations. Any objections received
will be considered and replied to before a final notice is published.
