The new HIPAA rule for Civil Money Penalties (CMP) that went to the
Office of Management and Budget on 9 August was published on pages
55515-55516 of today's Federal Register: Volume 69, No. 178, Wednesday,
15 September 2004. It extends the expiration date of the CMP Interim
Final Rule originally published on 17 April 2003. The new expiration
date is now 16 September 2005.

No other changes to the original CMP rule are included in today's
Federal Register rule.
