Association (WVSMA), of its status as a
Patient Safety Organization (PSO). The
Patient Safety and Quality Improvement
Act of 2005 (Patient Safety Act), Public
Law 109–41, 42 U.S.C. 299b-21–b-26,
provides for the formation of PSOs,
which collect, aggregate, and analyze
confidential information regarding the
quality and safety of health care
delivery. The Patient Safety and Quality
Improvement Final Rule (Patient Safety
Rule), 42 CFR Part 3, authorizes AHRQ,
on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, to list
as a P50 an entity that attests that it
meets the statutory and regulatory
requirements for listing. A P50 can be
‘‘delisted’’ by the Secretary if it is found
to no longer meet the requirements of
the Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety
Rule, including when a PSO chooses to
voluntarily relinquish its status as a
PSO for any reason.
DATES: The directories for both listed
and delisted PSOs are ongoing and
reviewed weekly by AHRQ. The
SUMMARY
delisting was effective at 12 Midnight
ET (2400) on January 20, 2011.

Background
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Patient Safety Act authorizes the
listing of PSOs, which are entities or
component organizations whose
mission and primary activity is to
conduct activities to improve patient
safety and the quality of health care
delivery. HHS issued the Patient Safety
Rule to implement the Patient Safety
Act. AHRQ administers the provisions
of the Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule (PDF file, 450 KB. PDF
Help) relating to the listing and
operation of PSOs. Section 3.108(d) of
the Patient Safety Rule requires AHRQ
to provide public notice when it
removes an organization from the list of
federally approved PSOs.
AHRQ has accepted a notification
from the West Virginia Center for
Patient Safety, a component entity of
West Virginia Hospital Association,
West Virginia Medical Institute (WVMI),
and West Virginia State Medical
Association (WVSMA), PSO number
P0044, to voluntarily relinquish its
status as a PSO. Accordingly, the West
Virginia Center for Patient Safety, a
component entity of West Virginia
Hospital Association, West Virginia
Medical Institute (WVMI), and West
Virginia State Medical Association
(WVSMA), was delisted effective at 12
Midnight ET (2400) on January 20, 2011.

Title: ACF Grantee Survey of the Low
Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP).
OMB No.: 0970–0076.
Description: The LIHEAP Grantee
Survey is an annual data collection
activity, which is sent to grantees of the
50 states and the District of Columbia
administering the Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
The survey is mandatory in order that
national estimates of the sources and
uses of LIHEAP funds can be calculated
in a timely manner; a range can be
calculated of State average LIHEAP
benefits; and maximum income cutoffs
for four-person households can be
obtained for estimating the number of
low-income households that are income
eligible for LIHEAP under the State
income standards. The need for the
above information is to provide the
Administration and Congress with fiscal
estimates in time for hearings about
LIHEAP appropriations and program
performance. The information also is
included in the Departments annual
LIHEAP Report to Congress. Survey
information also will be posted on the
Office of Community Services LIHEAP
Web site for access by grantees and
other interested parties.
