SUMMARY: Disease, Disability, and Injury Prevention and Control Special Emphasis Panel (SEP): Initial Review VerDate Mar<15>2010 Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Background and Legislative Authority On October 31, 1988, the Congress enacted the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) (Pub. L. 100–578). CLIA amended section 353 of the Public Health Service Act. We issued a final rule implementing the accreditation provisions of CLIA on July 31, 1992 (57 FR 33992). Under those provisions, we may grant deeming authority to an accreditation organization if its requirements for laboratories accredited under its program are equal to or more stringent than the applicable CLIA program requirements in 42 CFR part 493 (Laboratory Requirements). Subpart E of part 493 (Accreditation by a Private, Nonprofit Accreditation Organization or Exemption Under an Approved State Laboratory Program) specifies the requirements an accreditation organization must meet to be approved by CMS as an accreditation organization under CLIA. II. Notice of Approval of AABB as an Accreditation Organization In this notice, we approve AABB as an organization that may accredit laboratories for purposes of establishing their compliance with CLIA requirements for the following specialty and subspecialty areas under CLIA: • Microbiology, including Bacteriology, Mycology, and Virology. • Diagnostic Immunology, including Syphilis Serology, General Immunology. • Chemistry, including Routine Chemistry, Urinalysis, Toxicology. • Hematology. • Immunohematology, including ABO Group & Rh Group, Antibody Detection, Antibody Identification, Compatibility Testing. We have examined the initial AABB application and all subsequent submissions to determine its accreditation program’s equivalency with the requirements for approval of an accreditation organization under subpart E of part 493. We have determined that AABB meets or exceeds the applicable CLIA requirements. We have also determined that AABB will ensure that its accredited laboratories will meet or exceed the applicable requirements in subparts H, I, J, K, M, Q, and the applicable sections of R. Therefore, we grant AABB approval as an accreditation organization under subpart E of part 493, for the period stated in the DATES section of this notice for the submitted specialty and subspecialty areas under CLIA. As a result of this determination, any laboratory that is accredited by AABB E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM 23MYN1
