Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 165 / Tuesday, August 26, 2014 / Notices cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the Agency’s Web site at https:// www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/ default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to the meeting. Agenda: On October 8, the committee will discuss, make recommendations and vote on information related to the premarket approval application regarding the Boston Scientific Corporation’s WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure Technology. FDA is seeking committee review and recommendations regarding new clinical data and associated additional adverse events including stroke that have become available since the previous advisory committee meeting on the WATCHMAN device, which was held December 11, 2013. The WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology is a percutaneously delivered permanent cardiac implant placed in the left atrial appendage. This device is indicated to prevent thromboembolism (TE) from the left atrial appendage. It may be considered for use in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are eligible for warfarin therapy to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism based on CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >75 years, diabetes, and prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)) or CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke/TIA/TE, vascular disease, age 65–74, and sex category) scores. On October 9, the committee will discuss and make recommendations regarding the classification of morethan-minimally manipulated allograft heart valves (MMM Allograft HVs). A MMM Allograft HV is a human valve or valved conduit that has been aseptically recovered from qualified donors, dissected free from the human heart, and then subjected to a manufacturing process(es) that alters the original relevant characteristics of the tissue (21 CFR 1271.3(f), 21 CFR 1271.10(a)(1), and 21 CFR 1271.20). The valve is then stored until needed by a recipient. An example of such a manufacturing process is one that intentionally removes the cells and cellular debris with the goal of reducing in vivo antigenicity. MMM Allograft HVs are considered preamendment devices because they were found substantially equivalent to devices in commercial distribution prior VerDate Mar<15>2010 21:48 Aug 25, 2014 Jkt 232001 to May 28, 1976, when the Medical Device Amendments became effective. MMM Allograft HVs are currently regulated under Product Code OHA, ‘‘Heart Valve, More than Minimally Manipulated Allograft,’’ as unclassified devices and reviewed under the premarket notification, 510(k), authority (21 CFR part 807). FDA is seeking committee input on the safety and effectiveness of MMM Allograft HVs and the regulatory classification for MMM Allograft HVs. FDA intends to make background material available to the public no later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the background material will be made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be posted on FDA’s Web site after the meeting. Background material is available at https://www.fda.gov/ AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/ default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before September 30, 2014. On October 8, oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. On October 9, oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately 9:45 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. Those individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before September 22, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: AIDS Drug Assistance Program Data Report OMB No. 0915–0345—Revision. Abstract: HRSA’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is funded through The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Part B, Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, which provides grants to states and territories. ADAP provides medications for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Program funds may also be used to purchase health insurance for eligible clients and for services that enhance access, adherence, and monitoring of drug treatments. Each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and several territories receive ADAP grants. As part of the funding requirements, ADAPs submit reports concerning information on patients served; eligibility requirements; pharmaceuticals prescribed; and pricing and other sources of support to provide AIDS medication treatment, cost data, and coordination with Medicaid. Since 2005, ADAPs have supplied aggregate data to HRSA using the ADAP Quarterly Report (AQR). However, aggregate data cannot be analyzed with the detail that is required to assess quality of care or to sufficiently account for the use of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Funds. To address this limitation, HRSA’s HIV/ AIDS Bureau (HAB) developed a clientlevel data system for ADAPs called the ADAP Data Report (ADR), and in 2013, ADAPs began submitting the ADR. As of April 30, 2104, HAB retired the AQR and now only requires the submission of the ADR. The ADR will be submitted annually and consists of a Grantee Report and a client-level data file. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program requires the submission of annual reports by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the appropriate committees of Congress. The collection of grantee-level and client level data enables HRSA to more effectively respond to requests from the Secretary of HHS. In addition, client-level information is needed by HRSA in order to respond to the request for reviews of program performance and information for strategic planning. Client-level data is also needed to support the implementation and monitoring of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). On April 11, 2012, a memo from the Secretary of HHS directed the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) along with other Health and Human Services Operating Divisions (OpDivs) to work together to: (1) Identify seven common core HIV/AIDS indicators; (2) develop implementation plans to deploy these indicators; and (3) streamline data collection; and reduce reporting by at least 20 to 25 percent. In November 2012, the HIV/AIDS Indicators Implementation Group (HAIIG), comprised of representatives from HHS OpDivs, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Veterans’ Health Administration, and community partners successfully identified the required common core HIV/AIDS indicators. Revisions to the ADR are required to support implementation of the core indicators, streamlining data collection and reducing reporting burden. Eleven data elements will be deleted from the ADR and several variables were modified to reduce reporting burden. Sex at Birth, defined as the biological sex assigned to the client at birth, will be added to align with variables collected by other HHS OpDivs. Type of ADAP-funded insurance assistance received will also be added to track ADAP’s payment of full or partial premium and co-pays and deductibles. In addition to the new data elements noted above, other new variables will be added to the ADR address provisions set forth in Section 4302 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA includes several provisions aimed at eliminating health disparities in America. Section 4302 (Understanding health disparities: Data collection and analysis) of the ACA focuses on the standardization, collection, analysis, and reporting of health disparities data. Section 4302 requires the Secretary of HHS to establish data collection standards for race, ethnicity, and sex. The race/ ethnicity data elements include reporting of Hispanic, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander subgroups. The categories for HHS data standards for race and ethnicity are based on the disaggregation of the OMB standard used in the American Community Survey and the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census. The subgroup categories can be rolled-up to the OMB standard. These new data elements will be used in data analysis intended to identify and understand health disparities. Likely Respondents: State ADAPs of Ryan White Part B grantees. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specified childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa– 10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of the petition on the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is named as the respondent in each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility under the Program to HRSA. The Court is directed by statute to appoint special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings as appropriate, and make initial decisions as to eligibility for, and amount of, compensation. A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities, illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury Table (the Table) set forth at Section 2114 of the PHS Act or as set forth at 42 CFR 100.3, as applicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: AIDS Drug Assistance Program 
Data Report OMB No. 0915-0345--Revision.
    Abstract: HRSA's AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is funded 
through The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Part B, Title XXVI of the 
Public Health Service Act, which provides grants to states and 
territories. ADAP provides medications for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. 
Program funds may also be used to purchase health insurance for 
eligible clients and for services that enhance access, adherence, and 
monitoring of drug treatments.
    Each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 
several territories receive ADAP grants. As part of the funding 
requirements, ADAPs submit reports concerning information on patients 
served; eligibility requirements; pharmaceuticals prescribed; and 
pricing and other sources of support to provide AIDS medication 
treatment, cost data, and coordination with Medicaid. Since 2005, ADAPs 
have supplied aggregate data to HRSA using the ADAP Quarterly Report 
(AQR). However, aggregate data cannot be analyzed with the detail that 
is required to assess quality of care or to sufficiently account for 
the use of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Funds. To address this 
limitation, HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) developed a client-level data 
system for ADAPs called the ADAP Data Report (ADR), and in 2013, ADAPs 
began submitting the ADR. As of April 30, 2104, HAB retired the AQR and 
now only requires the submission of the ADR. The ADR will be submitted 
annually and consists of a Grantee Report and a client-level data file.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
Program requires the submission of annual reports by the Secretary of 
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the appropriate 
committees of Congress. The collection of grantee-level and client 
level data enables HRSA to more effectively respond to requests from 
the Secretary of HHS. In addition, client-level information is needed 
by HRSA in order to respond to the request for reviews of program 
performance and information for strategic planning. Client-level data 
is also needed to support the implementation and monitoring of the 
National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS).
    On April 11, 2012, a memo from the Secretary of HHS directed the 
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) along with other 
Health and Human Services Operating Divisions (OpDivs) to work together 
to: (1) Identify seven common core HIV/AIDS indicators; (2) develop 
implementation plans to deploy these indicators; and (3) streamline 
data collection; and reduce reporting by at least 20 to 25 percent. In 
November 2012, the HIV/AIDS Indicators Implementation Group (HAIIG), 
comprised of representatives from HHS OpDivs, the Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, the Veterans' Health Administration, and 
community partners successfully identified the required common core 
HIV/AIDS indicators.
    Revisions to the ADR are required to support implementation of the 
core indicators, streamlining data collection and reducing reporting 
burden. Eleven data elements will be deleted from the ADR and several 
variables were modified to reduce reporting burden. Sex at Birth, 
defined as the biological sex assigned to the client at birth, will be 
added to align with variables collected by other HHS OpDivs. Type of 
ADAP-funded insurance assistance received will also be added to track 
ADAP's payment of full or partial premium and co-pays and deductibles.
    In addition to the new data elements noted above, other new 
variables will be added to the ADR address provisions set forth in 
Section 4302 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA includes several 
provisions aimed at eliminating health disparities in America. Section 
4302 (Understanding health disparities: Data collection and analysis) 
of the ACA focuses on the standardization, collection, analysis, and 
reporting of health disparities data. Section 4302 requires the 
Secretary of HHS to establish data collection standards for race, 
ethnicity, and sex. The race/ethnicity data elements include reporting 
of Hispanic, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander subgroups. The 
categories for HHS data standards for race and ethnicity are based on 
the disaggregation of the OMB standard used in the American Community 
Survey and the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census. The subgroup categories 
can be rolled-up to the OMB standard. These new data elements will be 
used in data analysis intended to identify and understand health 
disparities.
    Likely Respondents: State ADAPs of Ryan White Part B grantees.
    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
