Proposed Project: National Practitioner
Data Bank for Adverse Information on
Physicians and Other Health Care
Practitioners—45 CFR Part 60
Regulations and Forms (OMB No. 0915–
0126)—Extension
The National Practitioner Data Bank
(NPDB) was established through Title IV
of Public Law (Pub. L.) 99–660, the
Health Care Quality Improvement Act of
1986, as amended. Final regulations
governing the NPDB are codified at 45
CFR part 60. Responsibility for NPDB
implementation and operation resides
in the Bureau of Health Professions,
Health Resources and Services
Administration, Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS). The NPDB
began operation on September 1, 1990.
The intent of Title IV of Public Law
99–660 is to improve the quality of
health care by encouraging hospitals,
State licensing boards, professional
societies, and other entities providing
health care services, to identify and
Number of
respondents
Regulation citation
VerDate Nov<24>2008
discipline those who engage in
unprofessional behavior; and to restrict
the ability of incompetent physicians,
dentists, and other health care
practitioners to move from State to State
without disclosure of the practitioner’s
previous damaging or incompetent
performance.
The NPDB acts primarily as a flagging
system; its principal purpose is to
facilitate comprehensive review of
practitioners’ professional credentials
and background. Information on
medical malpractice payments, adverse
licensure actions, adverse clinical
privileging actions, adverse professional
society actions, and Medicare/Medicaid
exclusions is collected from, and
disseminated to, eligible entities. It is
intended that NPDB information should
be considered with other relevant
information in evaluating a
practitioner’s credentials.
The reporting forms and the request
for information forms (query forms) are
accessed, completed, and submitted to
the NPDB electronically through the
NPDB Web site at https://www.npdbhipdb.hrsa.gov/. All reporting and
querying is performed through this
secure Web site. Due to overlap in
requirements for the Healthcare
Integrity and Protection Data Bank
(HIPDB), some of the NPDB’s burden
has been subsumed under the HIPDB.
Estimates of annualized burden are as
follows:
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.

Title: 45 CFR 303.7—Provision of
Services in Interstate Child Support
Enforcement Cases; Standard Forms.
OMB No.: 0970–0085.
Description: Public Law 104–193, the
Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,
amended 42 U.S.C. 666 to require State
Child Support Enforcement (CSE)
agencies to enact the Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act (UIFSA) into State

BILLING CODE 4165–15–P
law by January 1, 1998. Section 311(b)
of UIFSA requires the States to use
standard Interstate forms, as mandated
by Federal law. 45 CFR 303.7 also
requires CSE programs to transmit child
support case information on standard
interstate forms when referring cases to
other States for processing. During the
OMB clearance process, we are taking
the opportunity to make a minor
revision to heading of Transmittals 1, 2,
and 3. We have added the option for
States to list the name of the country
with which the petitioner or respondent
is affiliated. The instructions for each of
the Transmittal forms have also been
updated to reflect this change.
Respondents: State agencies
administering the Child Support
Enforcement program under title IV–D
of the Social Security Act.
