ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice announces the application of COLA for approval as an accreditation organization for clinical laboratories under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) program for the specialty of Pathology to include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology. We have determined that COLA meets or exceeds the applicable CLIA requirements. In this notice, we announce the approval and grant COLA deeming authority for the specialty of Pathology to include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology for a period of 2 years. DATES: This notice is effective from March 7, 2022 to March 7, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Raelene Perfetto (410) 786–6876. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:50 Mar 04, 2022 Jkt 256001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background and Legislative Authority On October 31, 1988, the Congress enacted the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) (Pub. L. 100–578). CLIA amended section 353 of the Public Health Service Act. We issued a final rule implementing the accreditation provisions of CLIA on July 31, 1992 (57 FR 33992). Under those provisions, CMS may grant deeming authority to an accreditation organization if its requirements for laboratories accredited under its program are equal to or more stringent than the applicable CLIA program requirements in 42 CFR part 493 (Laboratory Requirements). Subpart E of part 493 (Accreditation by a Private, Nonprofit Accreditation Organization or Exemption Under an Approved State Laboratory Program) specifies the requirements an accreditation organization must meet to be approved by CMS as an accreditation organization under CLIA. II. Notice of Approval of COLA for the Specialty of Pathology To Include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology as an Accreditation Organization In this notice, we approve COLA as an organization that may accredit laboratories for purposes of establishing their compliance with CLIA requirements for the specialty of Pathology to include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology. We have examined the initial COLA application and all subsequent submissions to determine its accreditation program’s equivalency with the requirements for approval of an accreditation organization under subpart E of part 493. We have determined that COLA meets or exceeds the applicable CLIA requirements. We have also determined that COLA will ensure that its accredited laboratories will meet or exceed the applicable requirements in subparts H, I, J, K, M, Q, and the applicable sections of R. Therefore, we grant COLA approval as an accreditation organization under subpart E of part 493, for the period stated in the DATES section of this notice for the specialty of Pathology and the subspecialties of Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology. As a result of this determination, any laboratory that is accredited by COLA during the time period stated in the DATES section of this notice will be deemed to meet the CLIA requirements for the specialty of Pathology to include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology, and PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12711 therefore, will generally not be subject to routine inspections by a State survey agency to determine its compliance with CLIA requirements. The accredited laboratory, however, is subject to validation and complaint investigation surveys performed by CMS, or its agent(s). III. Evaluation of COLA’s Request for Approval as an Accreditation Organization Under CLIA for the Specialty of Pathology To Include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology The following describes the process used to determine that COLA accreditation program meets the necessary requirements to be approved by CMS and that, as such, CMS may approve COLA as an accreditation program with deeming authority under the CLIA program. In reviewing these materials, we reached the following determinations for each applicable part of the CLIA regulations: A. Subpart E—Accreditation by a Private, Nonprofit Accreditation Organization or Exemption Under an Approved State Laboratory Program COLA submitted its mechanism for monitoring compliance with all requirements equivalent to conditionlevel requirements, a list of all its current laboratories and the expiration date of their accreditation, and a detailed comparison of the individual accreditation requirements with the comparable condition-level requirements. We have determined that COLA policies and procedures for oversight of laboratories performing laboratory testing for the specialty of Pathology to include Histopathology, Cytology and Oral Pathology are equivalent to those required under the CLIA regulations in the matters of inspection, monitoring proficiency testing (PT) performance, investigating complaints, and making PT information available. COLA submitted documentation regarding its requirements for monitoring and inspecting laboratories and describing its standards regarding data management, the inspection process, procedures for removal or withdrawal of accreditation, notification requirements for laboratories out of compliance, and accreditation organization resources. We have determined that COLA’s requirements for monitoring and inspecting laboratories are equivalent to those required under our regulations for laboratories in the areas of data management, the inspection process, procedures for removal or withdrawal of accreditation, notification requirements E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM 07MRN1
