The CFSP outlines initiatives and activities the state, tribe or territory will carry out in administering programs and services to promote the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families, including, as applicable, those activities SUMMARY: conducted under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Section 477 of the Act) and the state grant authorized by the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. By June 30 of each year, states, territories, and tribes are also required to submit an APSR and a financial report called the CFS–101. The APSR is a yearly report that discusses progress made by a state, territory or tribe in accomplishing the goals and objectives cited in its CFSP (45 CFR 1357.16(a)). The APSR contains new and updated information about service needs and organizational capacities throughout the five-year plan period and, beginning with the submission due on June 30, 2021, will also include information on the use of the Family First Transition Grants and Funding Certainty Grants authorized by the Family First Transition Act included in Public Law (Pub.

Part II includes a summary of planned expenditures by program area for the upcoming fiscal year, the estimated number of individuals or families to be served, and the geographical service area. Part III includes actual expenditures by program area, numbers of families and individuals served by program area, and the geographic areas served for the last complete fiscal year. The revisions made to the CFS–101 form are to streamline the data entry and to remove from Part III of the CFS–101 requests for prior year estimates on use of funds that are not required by law. Respondents: States, territories, and tribes must complete the CFSP, APSR, and CFS–101. Tribes and territories are exempted from the monthly caseworker visits reporting requirement of the CFSP/APSR. There are approximately 180 tribal entities that currently receive IV–B funding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Patient Safety Act, 42 U.S.C. 299b-21 to 299b-26, and the 
related Patient Safety Rule, 42 CFR part 3, published in the Federal 
Register on November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70732-70814, establish a framework 
by which individuals and entities that meet the definition of provider 
in the Patient Safety Rule may voluntarily report information to PSOs 
listed by AHRQ, on a privileged and confidential basis, for the 
aggregation and analysis of patient safety events.
    The Patient Safety Act authorizes the listing of PSOs, which are 
entities or component organizations whose mission and primary activity 
are to conduct activities to improve patient safety and the quality of 
health care delivery.
    HHS issued the Patient Safety Rule to implement the Patient Safety 
Act. AHRQ administers the provisions of the Patient Safety Act and 
Patient Safety Rule relating to the listing and operation of PSOs. The 
Patient Safety Rule authorizes AHRQ to list as a PSO an entity that 
attests that it meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for 
listing. A PSO can be ``delisted'' if it is found to no longer meet the 
requirements of the Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety Rule, when a 
PSO chooses to voluntarily relinquish its status as a PSO for any 
reason, or when a PSO's listing expires. Section 3.108(d)

[[Page 26692]]

of the Patient Safety Rule requires AHRQ to provide public notice when 
it removes an organization from the list of PSOs.
    AHRQ has accepted a notification of proposed voluntary 
relinquishment from ABG Anesthesia Data Group, LLC, a component entity 
of Anesthesia Business Group, LLC, to voluntarily relinquish its status 
as a PSO. Accordingly, ABG Anesthesia Data Group, LLC, P0068, was 
delisted effective at 12:00 Midnight ET (2400) on April 29, 2020.
    ABG Anesthesia Data Group, LLC has patient safety work product 
(PSWP) in its possession. The PSO will meet the requirements of section 
3.108(c)(2)(i) of the Patient Safety Rule regarding notification to 
providers that have reported to the PSO and of section 3.108(c)(2)(ii) 
regarding disposition of PSWP consistent with section 3.108(b)(3). 
According to section 3.108(b)(3) of the Patient Safety Rule, the PSO 
has 90 days from the effective date of delisting and revocation to 
complete the disposition of PSWP that is currently in the PSO's 
possession.
