Patient Safety Organizations:
Voluntary Relinquishment for the
SimCore PSO, LLC
Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of delisting.
AGENCY:
The Patient Safety and
Quality Improvement Final Rule
(Patient Safety Rule) authorizes AHRQ,
on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, to list
as a patient safety organization (PSO) an
entity that attests that it meets the
statutory and regulatory requirements
for listing. A PSO can be ‘‘delisted’’ by
the Secretary if it is found to no longer
meet the requirements of the Patient
Safety and Quality Improvement Act of
2005 (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. AHRQ accepted a
notification of proposed voluntary
relinquishment from the SimCore PSO,
LLC, PSO number P0189, of its status as
a PSO, and has delisted the PSO
accordingly.
SUMMARY:
The delisting was applicable
12:00 Midnight ET (2400) on October
14, 2022.
ADDRESSES: The directories for both
listed and delisted PSOs are ongoing
and reviewed weekly by AHRQ. Both
directories can be accessed

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 work product.
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)
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 the SimCore PSO, LLC to
voluntarily relinquish its status as a
PSO. Accordingly, the SimCore PSO,
LLC, PSO number P0189, was delisted
effective at 12:00 Midnight ET (2400) on
October 14, 2022.
SimCore PSO, 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.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On May 28, 2010, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
guidance related to the ‘‘generic’’
clearance process. Generally, this is an
expedited process by which agencies
may obtain OMB’s approval of
collection of information requests that
are ‘‘usually voluntary, low-burden, and
uncontroversial collections,’’ do not
raise any substantive or policy issues,
and do not require policy or
methodological review. The process
requires the submission of an
overarching plan that defines the scope
of the individual collections that would
fall under its umbrella. On October 23,
2011, OMB approved our initial request
to use the generic clearance process
under control number 0938–1148
(CMS–10398). It was last approved on
April 26, 2021, via the standard PRA
process which included the publication
of 60- and 30-day Federal Register
notices. The scope of the April 2021
umbrella accounts for Medicaid and
CHIP State plan amendments, waivers,
demonstrations, and reporting. This
Federal Register notice seeks public
comment on one or more of our
collection of information requests that
we believe are generic and fall within
the scope of the umbrella. Interested
persons are invited to submit comments
regarding our burden estimates or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including: the necessity
and utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
