Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 51 / Thursday, March 18, 2021 / Notices have been revised based on comments from the SAPs and the public. The revisions to the fire ant guideline include the expansion of the guideline applicability to other ants in the Solenopsis saevissima complex, removal of the need to test in multiple geographically distinct locations and with both social forms of fire ants, inclusion of additional options for both field and laboratory test designs, and decreasing the number of ants needed for laboratory tests. The revisions to the pet product guideline include decreasing the number of animals used for tick testing, simplifying the tick test data collection categories, removing dead pest counts in favor of live pest counts, and revising the negative control for shampoo treatments from a placebo control to an untreated control. The Agency is also making available in the dockets the Response to Comments documents that address issues raised in the public comment submissions. C. Do guidance documents contain binding requirements? As guidance, the test guidelines are not binding on the Agency or any outside parties, and the Agency may depart from it where circumstances warrant and without prior notice. While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the discussion in the guidance, the obligations of EPA and the regulated community are determined by statutes, regulations, or other legally binding documents. In the event of a conflict between the discussion in the guidance document and any statute, regulation, or other legally binding document, the guidance document will not be controlling. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at https://www.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders. This unit addresses those requirements that apply to a guidance document. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES A.

AGENCY: ACTION: Notice of extension in comment period. As required by the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (Patient Safety Act), the Secretary of HHS (the Secretary) is making this draft report on effective strategies for reducing medical errors and increasing patient safety available to the public for review and comment. Through this notice the comment period is extended. The subject matter content remains unchanged from the original notice which was published on December 16, 2020 (https://www.federalregister.gov/ documents/2020/12/16/2020-27589/ notice-of-opportunity-to-comment-onstrategies-to-improve-patient-safetydraft-report-to-congress). SUMMARY: Submit comments on or before April 5, 2021. DATES: The draft report, Strategies to Improve Patient Safety: Draft Report to Congress for Public Comment and Review by the National Academy of Medicine, can be accessed electronically at the following HHS website: https:// pso.ahrq.gov/legislation/act. Comments on the draft report must be submitted by email to PSQIA.RC@ahrq.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background The Secretary, in consultation with the Director of AHRQ, has prepared a draft report on effective strategies for reducing medical errors and increasing patient safety as required by the Patient Safety Act. The report includes measures determined appropriate by the Secretary to encourage the appropriate use of such strategies, including use in any federally funded programs. The draft report is now available for public comment and has been submitted to the National Academy of Medicine for review. The final report is required to be submitted to Congress no later than December 21, 2021. The specific provision describing these requirements can be found at 42 U.S.C. 299b–22(j). The Patient Safety Act created a framework for the development of a voluntary patient safety event reporting system to advance patient safety and quality of care across the Nation. Without limiting patients’ rights to their medical information, the law created Federal legal privilege and confidentiality protections for patient safety work product; that is, information exchanged between healthcare providers and organizations listed by the Secretary that specialize in patient safety and quality improvement, called patient safety organizations (PSOs). The law charged PSOs with analyzing and using this information to provide feedback and assistance to help providers minimize patient risk and improve the safety and quality of their care. More information about the Patient Safety Act, its implementing regulation, and PSOs can be found at https:// pso.ahrq.gov/. In addition to creating a protected legal environment where healthcare providers can share information and learning for improvement purposes beyond organizational and State boundaries, Congress also envisioned and created the potential for aggregating and analyzing patient safety data on a national scale. This part of the Patient Safety Act, the network of patient safety databases (NPSD), is a mechanism that can leverage data contributed by individual healthcare providers and PSOs across the United States into a valuable national resource for improving patient safety. Congress required the draft report that is the subject of this Notice to be made available for public comment and submitted to the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) no later than 18 months after the NPSD became operational. The NPSD became operational on June 21, 2019. More information about the NPSD E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1
