NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Hudson River Park Trust Public Review and Comment Period

Pursuant to the Hudson River Park Act, the Hudson River Park Trust (“Trust”) hereby gives notice of a public hearing and public comment period regarding the following significant action under the Hudson River Park Act: the proposed transfer by sale of 200,000 sf of unused development rights from Pier 40 and associated actions.

Date and Time:	August 24, 2016 To be held concurrently with the New York City Planning Commission’s public hearing on the Special Hudson River Park District and 550 Washington Street. The City Planning Commission public meeting begins at 10:00 a.m. The public hearing on this matter is expected to begin at approximately 11:00 a.m.
Place:	Spector Hall 22 Reade St. New York, NY
Purpose:	To allow the public an opportunity to review and comment on a proposed significant action within the Park pursuant to the Hudson River Park Act.
	Pursuant to the Hudson River Park Act, Chapter 592 of the Laws of 1998 of the State of New York, as amended (the “Act”), the Trust is responsible for the planning, design, development, construction, operation and maintenance of the Hudson River Park and the improvements therein (collectively, the “Park”), which is located along West Street in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York and includes Pier 40.
	Pursuant to a 2013 amendment to the Act, the Trust is authorized:
	“to transfer by sale any unused development rights as may be available for transfer to properties located up to one block east of the boundaries of the [P]ark along the west side of Manhattan, if and to the extent designated and permitted under local zoning ordinances provided however that revenues derived from the transfer of air rights from [P]ier 40 must be used in the first instance for the repair of [P]ier 40 infrastructure including piles and roof, after which any excess revenues may be used by the [T]rust for other uses permitted by this [A]ct.”
	Several land use actions related to a proposed private development at 550 Washington Street in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York and having a tax lot designation as Block 596, Lot 1 (the “SJC Property”) are currently being reviewed through New York City’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (“ULURP”) and the City Environmental Quality Review process. Among these is a Special Permit application that would allow the Trust to transfer 200,000 square feet of floor area from Pier 40 to 550 Washington Street if also approved subsequently by the Trust’s Board of Directors (the “Transfer”).
	In connection with the Special Permit application, the Trust submitted a statement to the New York City Department of City Planning (“DCP”) identifying infrastructure improvements to be made to the Park at Pier 40, and confirming the sufficiency of funding to complete such identified improvements as required by the Act. In addition, the Trust has also (1) negotiated a draft Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with developer of the SJC Property for the Transfer pursuant to which the developer would pay the Trust $100,000,000, and (2) retained an independent appraiser to conduct an appraisal of the 200,000 square feet of unused development rights.

Copies of the proposed PSA, the Trust’s statement to DCP regarding the identification of Pier 40 infrastructure improvements, and the appraisal can be found on the Trust’s website at www.hudsonriverpark.org.

DCP, on behalf of the City Planning Commission as lead agency, has issued a Notice of Completion for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“DEIS”) for the 550 Washington Street/Special Hudson River Park District Proposal. A copy of that document is available at www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/applicants/env-review/550-washington-street-hudson-river-park.page.

In addition to the public hearing, the public will have an opportunity to provide written comments to the Trust. Written and verbal comments will be accorded the same weight.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of Health

Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:

The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for institutional services to clarify current provisions. The following changes are proposed:

Institutional Services

The following is a clarification to the Temporary Rate Adjustment provisions for an acute rate adjustment for mergers and acquisitions and will be effective on or after September 1, 2016. The Temporary Rate Adjustment provisions will apply as follows:

• A full asset merger or acquisition is required.

• The temporary rate adjustment is for the operating components of the acute rate only.

• The “higher of” operating rates of all hospitals merged or acquired in the full asset merger will be paid to all hospitals merged or acquired. This “higher of” is determined on an aggregate acute rate basis and not on an acute operating rate component basis.

• Facilities seeking a temporary rate adjustment will submit an appeal and demonstrate that the additional resources provided by a temporary rate adjustment will achieve one or more of the following: 1) protect or enhance access to care; 2) protect or enhance quality of care; 3) improve the cost effectiveness of the delivery of health care services; and/or 4) otherwise protect or enhance the health care delivery system, as determined by the commissioner.

• The temporary rate adjustment will be effective as of the date the full asset merger or acquisition transaction is completed and will be in effect for three years from that date.

• At the expiration of the temporary rate adjustment period, the entity will receive a combined cost-based rate for the operating components of the acute rate of all the facilities in the merged entity based on applicable rate methodologies for mergers and acquisitions.

There is no additional estimated annual change to gross Medicaid expenditures as a result of the clarifying proposed amendments.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment (SPA). Copies of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status. In addition, approved SPA’s beginning in 2011, are also available for viewing on this website.

Copies of the proposed State Plan Amendments will be on file in each local (county) social services district and available for public review.

For the New York City district, copies will be available at the following places:
