Title: Safe Harbor for Federally
Qualified Health Centers Arrangements
under the Anti-kickback Statute—OMB
No. 0990–New—Office of Inspector
General (OIG).
Proposed Project: The Office of the
Inspector General (OIG), Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting a 3-year clearance for the
data collection under the anti-kickback
statute, as described below. In order for
an arrangement between a health center
and a donor individual or entity to
63899
enjoy safe harbor protection, the
arrangement: (1) Must be set out in
writing (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(A)); (2) the
written agreement must be signed by the
parties (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(B)); (3) the
written agreement must cover, and
specify the amount of, all goods, items,
services, donations, or loans provided
by the individual or entity to the health
center (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(C)); (4) the
health center must document its basis
for its reasonable expectation that the
arrangement will benefit a medically
underserved population
(§ 1001.952(w)(3)); and (5) the health
center, at reasonable intervals, must
reevaluate the arrangement to ensure
that it is expected to continue to benefit
a medically underserved population,
and must document the re-evaluation
contemporaneously (§ 001.952(w)(4)).
OIG may request to see
documentation kept pursuant to the safe
harbor in order to determine compliance
with the terms of the safe harbor and the
fraud and abuse laws. Compliance with
the safe harbor is voluntary, and no
party is ever required to comply with
the safe harbor.
The safe harbor does not entail a
routine and continuous affirmative
collection of data from the regulated
community. However, health centers
that choose to avail themselves of the
safe harbor must have initial
documentation and a re-evaluation of
the arrangement at least annually. The
respondents are businesses and/or other
private sector for-profit and not-forprofit institutions.
OIG previously solicited comments on
this section of the PRA on July 1, 2005,
upon publication of the 60-day notice of
proposed rulemaking (70 FR 38081).
OIG did not receive any comments
specifically addressing the PRA in
response to that notice; however, OIG is
now providing an additional
opportunity for comment on the PRA
aspect of the rule only.
