Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for Review and Approval; Public Comment Request, 24755-24756 [2013-09946]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 81 / Friday, April 26, 2013 / Notices polymorphs, which generally speaking contain only the API within the crystal lattice, co-crystals are composed of an API with a neutral guest compound in the crystal lattice. Similarly, unlike salts, where the components in the crystal lattice are in an ionized state, a co-crystal’s components are in a neutral state and interact via nonionic interactions. At present, no formal regulatory policy exists governing the classification of pharmaceutical co-crystals. In response to this need for regulatory guidance, the guidance provides the Agency’s current thinking on the appropriate classification of co-crystal solid-state forms. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on regulatory classification of pharmaceutical cocrystals. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II.

SUMMARY: Information Collection Request Title: Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program Performance Measure Determination (OMB No. 0915–xxxx)— New Abstract: The purpose of the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program (Flex), authorized by Section 4201 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA), Public Law 105–33 and reauthorized by Section 121 of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, Public Law 110– 275, is to support improvements in the quality of health care provided in communities served by Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs); to support efforts to improve the financial and operational performance of the CAHs; and to support communities in developing collaborative regional and local delivery systems. Additionally, the Flex program assists in the conversion of qualified PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24755 small rural hospitals to CAH status. The provision and delivery of quality health care to rural America is a priority of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Flex program provides funding for states to support technical assistance activities in hospitals related to: improving health care quality, patient safety, hospital financial and operational efficiency, and care coordination; and ensuring adequate training and support within rural Emergency Medical Services systems. Measures and goals identified in the Flex program take into consideration existing measures and priorities HHS has set for hospitals, to avoid both conflict and duplication of efforts. For this program, performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the Flex program and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62). These measures cover principal topic areas of interest to the Office of Rural Health Policy, including: (a) Quality reporting; (b) quality improvement interventions; (c) financial and operational improvement initiatives; and (d) multi-hospital patient safety initiatives. Several measures will be used for this program and will inform the Office’s progress toward meeting the goals set in GPRA. This notice is the second of two Federal Register Notices issued regarding the intent to collect program performance measures, and the Office of Rural Health Policy received one set of comments for the original 60-day notice published on December 31, 2012 (Vol. 77, No. 250, pp. 77079–77080). The Office of Rural Policy responded to the comments and adjusted the burden estimate based on new calculations. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information, and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

[FR Doc. 2013–09942 Filed 4–25–13; 8:45 am] Justification for the Exception to Competition: The former grantee, the County of Genesee, has requested that HRSA transfer a Health Center Program section 330 grant to Genesee Health System to implement and carry out grant activities originally proposed under the County of Genesee’s funded section 330 grant application. Genesee County Community Mental Health (GCCMH)—now Genesee Health System—was formerly a department of the County of Genesee and has continued to carry out the operations of the grant program since its award in June 2012. On January 1, 2013, the State of Michigan approved GCCMH’s independence as a separate public governmental entity, and GCCMH was legally renamed the Genesee Health System. The Genesee Health System is directly engaged in the delivery of primary health care services on the County of Genesee’s behalf and has indicated an ability to continue operations without a disruption of services. Genesee Health System is currently providing primary health care services on behalf of the County of Genesee to the original target population and is located in the same geographical area. This underserved target population has an immediate need for vital primary health care services and would be negatively impacted by any delay or disruption of services caused by a competition. As a result, in order to ensure that critical primary health care services remain available to the original target population without disruption, this replacement award will not be competed.
