ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice announces that laboratories located in and licensed by the State of New York that possess a valid permit under the New York State Public Health Law are exempt from the requirements of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) for a period of 6 years. DATES: The exemption granted by this notice is effective from March 26, 2021 to March 26, 2027. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Penny Keller, (410) 786–2035. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Background and Legislative Authority Section 353 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), as amended by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16599 Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) (Pub. L. 100–578, enacted on October 31, 1988), generally provides that no laboratory may perform tests on human specimens for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or assessment of the health of, human beings unless it has a certificate to perform that category of tests issued by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Under section 1861(s)(17)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act), the Medicare program will only pay for laboratory services if the laboratory has a CLIA certificate. Section 1902(a)(9)(C) of the Act generally requires that state Medicaid plans pay only for laboratory services furnished by CLIA-certified laboratories. Thus, although subject to specified exemptions and exceptions, laboratories generally must have a current and valid CLIA certificate to test human specimens for the purposes noted above to be eligible for payment for those tests from the Medicare or Medicaid programs. Regulations implementing section 353 of the PHSA are contained in 42 CFR part 493. Section 353(p) of the PHSA provides for the exemption of laboratories from CLIA requirements in states that enact legal requirements that are equal to or more stringent than CLIA’s statutory and regulatory requirements. Section 353(p) of the PHSA is implemented in subpart E of our regulations at 42 CFR part 493. Sections 493.551 and 493.553 provide that we may exempt from CLIA requirements, for a period not to exceed 6 years, all state-licensed or -approved laboratories in a state if the state licensure program meets the specified conditions. Section 493.559 provides that we will publish a notice in the Federal Register when we grant an exemption to an approved state licensure program. It also provides that the notice will include the following: • The basis for granting the exemption. • A description of how the state’s laboratory requirements are equal to or more stringent than those of CLIA. • The term of approval, not to exceed 6 years. A. State of New York’s Application for CLIA Exemption of Its Laboratories The State of New York has applied for exemption of its Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP) permitholding laboratories from CLIA program requirements. New York State law is generally applicable to all clinical laboratories operating within the State of New York except those operated by the Federal Government and those operated by a licensed physician, E:\FR\FM\30MRN1.SGM 30MRN1
