Announcement of Requirements and Registration for “The Million Hearts Risk Check Challenge”
Document Number: 2012-18593
Type: Notice
Date: 2012-07-31
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
In communities across America, there are thousands of convenient and inexpensive ways to know your risk for heart-related conditionsoften, all it takes is making an appointment for a screening with your doctor or pharmacies. But, according to recent studies, up to 1 in 3 people at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) have not been screened and are therefore less likely to take preventative action. Through an initiative sponsored by Million Hearts and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, we are reaching out to the millions of Americans who have significant risks for CVD and do not know it, and those that suspect it but have not yet overcome the inertia to act on their concern. By connecting these individuals to pharmacies for lipid and blood pressure screenings, we are intending to make it easy for them to turn their back-of-mind worries into personal knowledge and then help them hook into the delivery system if necessary. This new campaign and technology product will follow three steps: 1. Reach out to individuals across the country, taking special aim at those who may be at risk for CVD and don't know it. 2. Conduct a ``light'' health risk assessment that roughly estimates risk in an engaging interface and then ``hooks'' the user by showing that with the addition of LDL and BP readings, the accuracy of the risk assessment could be much more robust. This is done to drive folks to scale the next hurdle: The BP and blood test. 3. Direct individuals to nearby, convenient options for biometric screenings. National pharmacies and others will offer locations and special offers for this step. The statutory authority for this challenge competition is Section 105 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Public L. 111- 358).

Document Number: 2012-18554
Type: Rule
Date: 2012-07-31
Agency: Department of Commerce, United States Patent and Trademark Office
The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) requires that disciplinary proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office or USPTO) be commenced not later than the earlier of either the date that is 10 years after the date on which the misconduct forming the basis of the proceeding occurred, or one year from the date on which the misconduct forming the basis of the proceeding was made known to an officer or employee of the Office, as prescribed in the regulations governing disciplinary proceedings. The Office is adopting procedural rules which: Specify that a disciplinary complaint shall be filed within one year after the date on which the Office of Enrollment and Discipline (OED) Director receives a grievance forming the basis of the complaint, and in no event more than ten years after the date on which the misconduct forming the basis for the proceeding occurred; define grievance as a written submission from any source received by the OED Director that presents possible grounds for discipline of a specified practitioner; and clarify that the one-year time frame for filing a complaint may be tolled by written agreement. The Office will evaluate these procedures in the future to determine their effectiveness. If the new one-year time frame proves to be administratively unworkable or impedes the effectiveness of the disciplinary process, the Office may issue a new notice of proposed rulemaking.
