Currently, the PR DOH cannot sufficiently address necessary aspects of the outbreak response without additional support. In addition to equipment and supplies necessary for the increased testing for Zika virus, funds awarded to PRDOH will be used to support additional epidemiology and laboratory staff critical to the response efforts. Prevention Fund Reporting Requirements: This award requires the grantee to complete projects or activities which are funded under the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) (Section 4002 of Pub. L. 111–148) and to report on use of PPHF funds provided through this award. Information from these reports will be made available to the public. Grantees awarded a grant, cooperative agreement, or contract from such funds with a value of $25,000 or more shall produce reports on a semi-annual basis with a reporting cycle of January 1–June 30 and July 1–December 31; and email such reports to the CDC Web site (template and point of contact to be provided after award) no later than 20 calendar days after the end of each reporting period (i.e. July 20 and January 20, respectively).

These governmental entities are the full legal proprietors of vital records and the information contained therein.

This data collection, authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k, has been carried out by NCHS since it was created in 1960. NCHS assists in achieving the comparability needed for combining data from all States into national statistics, by conducting a training program for State and local vital statistics staff to assist in developing expertise in all aspects of vital registration and vital statistics. The training offered under this program includes courses for registration staff, statisticians, and coding specialists, all designed to bring about a high degree of uniformity and quality in the data provided by the States. This training program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242b, section 304(a). NCHS notifies State and local vital registration officials, as well as Canadian counterparts, about upcoming training. Individual candidates for training then submit an application form including name, address, occupation, and other relevant information.

This review includes screening for potential drug therapy problems due to therapeutic duplication, drug-disease contraindications, drug-drug interactions, incorrect drug dosage or duration of drug treatment, drug-allergy interactions, and clinical abuse/misuse. Pharmacists must make a reasonable effort to obtain, record, and maintain Medicaid patient profiles. These profiles must reflect at least the patient’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth/age, gender, history, e.g., allergies, drug reactions, list of medications, and pharmacist’s comments relevant to the individual’s drug therapy. The State must conduct RetroDUR which provides for the ongoing periodic examination of claims data and other records in order to identify patterns of fraud, abuse, inappropriate or medically unnecessary care. Patterns or trends of drug therapy problems are identified and reviewed to determine the need for intervention activity with pharmacists and/or physicians. States may conduct interventions via telephone, correspondence, or face-to-face contact. Annual reports are submitted to CMS for the purposes of monitoring compliance and evaluating the progress of States’ DUR programs. The information submitted by States is E:\FR\FM\12APN1.SGM 12APN1

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. These governmental 
entities are the full legal proprietors of vital records and the 
information contained therein. As a result of this State authority, the 
collection of registration-based vital statistics at the national 
level, referred to as the U.S. National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), 
depends on a cooperative relationship between the States and the 
Federal government. This data collection, authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k, 
has been carried out by NCHS since it was created in 1960.
