Hearing Loss Listings

The Notice of Proposed Rule-Making (NPRM) for the new hearing loss listings will be in the Federal Register tomorrow, but you can read it today. I see no major departure from the current listings on a cursory review.

This was cleared by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on August 6 and will appear in the Federal Register on August 13, which is a fairly normal interval between these two events. The NPRM for the new mental impairment listings was cleared by OMB on July 9, but has still not appeared in the Federal Register. I do not know the reason for the delay, but I have to guess that it has some significance.
