 | | Choate, 469 U.S. 287, 292-94 (1985), the Supreme Court delegated to agencies responsibility to determine "what sorts of disparate impacts upon minorities constituted sufficiently significant social problems, and were readily enough remediable, to warrant altering the practices of the federal grantees that had produced those impacts." Id. at 934. | | | Such certification may be of a "distinct part of an institution." See 42 U.S.C. s 1395x and 42 U.S.C. s 1396a(a)(28). | | | For instance, federal law authorizes state agencies who perform review and certification functions to certify facilities for either SNF or ICF reimbursement. |
