New Changes In Digestive Listings?

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) must approve all federal regulations. OMB's website has a list of regulatory proposals it has received. Here is one that was just posted:

AGENCY: SSA RIN: 0960-AG65
TITLE: Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Functional Limitations Due to Digestive Disorders
STAGE: Prerule ECONOMICALLY SIGNIFICANT: No

RECEIVED DATE: 11/29/2007 LEGAL DEADLINE: None

Social Security just published new final digestive system listings, effective on December 18. Apparently, the agency already wishes to revise the new listings.

Can anyone break this down to a bottom line on Ulcerative Colitis and extra-intestinal complications? It seems like they are saying one thing, then turning around and saying - no we mean something else. I'm so confused.
