Proposed Project: Advanced Education
Nursing Traineeship (AENT) and Nurse
Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT): In Use
Without Approval
The Health Resources and Services
and Administration (HRSA) provides
training grants to educational
institutions to increase the numbers of
advanced education nurses through the
Advanced Education Nursing
Traineeship (AENT) program and the
Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT)
program.
HRSA developed the AENT and NAT
tables for the guidance applications for
the two nursing traineeship programs.
The AENT and NAT tables are used
annually by grant applicants that are
applying for AENT and NAT funding.
The funds appropriated for the AENT
and NAT programs are distributed
among eligible institutions based on a
formula. Award amounts are based on
enrollment and graduate data reported
on the tables and two funding factors
(Statutory Funding Preference and
Statutory Special Consideration) to
those institutions which the criteria for
one or both of the funding factors.
The AENT/NAT tables include
information on program participants
such as the number of enrollees, number
of graduates and the types of programs
they are enrolling into and/or from
which they are graduating. These tables
will be available electronically through
Grants.gov. AENT and NAT applicants
will have a single access point to submit
their grant applications and AENT/NAT
Traineeship tables.
Data from the tables will be used in
the award determination and validation
process. Additionally, the data will be
used to ensure programmatic
compliance, report to Congress and
policymakers on the program
accomplishments, and formulate and
justify future budgets for these activities
submitted to OMB and Congress.

Response to Solicitation of Comments
on Professional Organizations and
State Governments Requirements for
Poison Control Center Certification
A notice was published in the Federal
Register by the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) on
April 8, 2005 (Volume 70, No. 67 pp.
18036–18037), soliciting public
comment regarding the guidelines by
which the Secretary shall approve
professional organizations and State
governments as having in effect
standards for Poison Control Center
(PCC) certification. Respondents were
asked to submit recommended
guidelines for approving professional
organizations and State governments’
standards per Public Law 108–194
section 1273 (c). Written comments
were to be post marked no later than
June 5, 2005 for consideration.
The HRSA was seeking comment on
the following issues:
1. Modeling the guidelines after
certification requirements that are
currently being used to certify PCCs;
2. Elements of approval that the
guidelines should include and
justification of the elements;
3. Guidelines applying to all State
governments;
4. Guidelines applying to all
professional organizations; and
5. Inclusion or re-certification as an
element of certification.

Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Fifty-two (52) comments were
received. Fifty-one (51) comments were
submitted by poison control centers
(PCCs), 15 of which came from the same
center. All of the poison centers are
members of the American Association of
Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) and
certified by this association. One (1)
comment was also submitted from a
professional organization whose
membership includes staff from poison
control centers. Following is a summary
of the comments received and the
HRSA’s recommendations.
While the HRSA did not receive any
specific comments on the issues
requested in the Federal Register Notice
sited above, 50 comments indicated a
strong advisement for the HRSA to
continue to accept the present
certification process instituted by the
AAPCC as the single certifying body for
poison control centers. These
respondents concurred that the current
certification structure is ‘‘fair, costefficient and already subscribed to by
nearly all of poison centers in the
United States.’’ Additional responses
concluded that resources used to
develop, implement and maintain a new
certification process would be
duplicative and costly. Comments also
suggested that the current certification
process is used as a mechanism to
maintain quality poison prevention
education and treatment services.
The legislation does not call for the
HRSA to change the certification
process, but does require the Secretary
to approve standards for certification.
Therefore, the HRSA was seeking public
comment on what guidelines the HRSA
should use for approving professional
organizations and State governments’
standards for certification.
Of these 50 comments, an additional
response indicated that if a State
certification system were to be
developed it should meet or exceed the
certification criteria established by the
AAPCC. There was one commenter in
support of a State certification process.
This commenter indicated that many
States currently determine the
healthcare standards of their residents
and have the ability to employ
certification standards for PCCs. In this
response, it was also communicated that
a State certification process should be
developed and modeled after the
