Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program, 35886-35888 [2023-11592]

Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 35886 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 105 / Thursday, June 1, 2023 / Notices establishment changes or if there is a change in the establishment’s U.S. agent’s name, address, telephone number, or email address, then establishments must also amend their registration within 30 calendar days. Of note, the regulations make clear that FDA’s ‘‘acceptance of an establishment registration and HCT/P listing form does not constitute a determination that an establishment is in compliance with applicable rules and regulations or that the HCT/P is licensed or approved by FDA’’ (21 CFR 1271.27(b)). Registration is performed using CBER’s eHCTERS. Establishments electronically submit required registration and HCT/P listing information, as well as updates to such information, through their eHCTERS account.3 The public can access eHCTERS to search and review tissue establishment registration information (registered, inactive, and pre-registered establishments) through the eHCTERS Public Query Application. Complete, accurate, and up-to-date establishment registration and HCT/P listing information is essential to FDA’s mission. If registration and listing information is outdated or otherwise unreliable, the integrity of the HCT/P registration and listing database is compromised. Registration information assists FDA in identifying industry participants and the scope of HCT/Ps manufactured. This assists FDA in more efficiently monitoring industry and providing new information including guidances, policies, and requirements. Establishment registration information also assists FDA in reacting swiftly to newly discovered or understood risks by enabling FDA to quickly alert industry of our concerns and, when appropriate, to conduct establishment inspections. Without this information, FDA would not be able to effectively monitor compliance under FDA’s risk-based surveillance inspection program. Establishment registration and HCT/P listing information is also widely used outside of FDA for various purposes. The public uses the Public Query Application of eHCTERS to search for and locate HCT/P establishments. For example, certain voluntary healthcare accreditation organizations require hospitals or surgical centers to annually confirm that their tissue suppliers are registered with FDA. Therefore, inclusion of inaccurate or outdated 3 Electronic submission of HCT/P establishment and product listing information may be waived in certain circumstances as described in 21 CFR 1271.23. Submission of a request for a waiver does not excuse timely compliance with registration and listing requirements. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 May 31, 2023 Jkt 259001 information in eHCTERS can negatively affect public health. II. Circumstances Under Which HCT/P Registration and Listing Information Becomes Inaccurate or Outdated Establishments that manufacture HCT/Ps are required to update their registration annually in December, even if there are no changes or updates to their information (§ 1271.21). Every year, many HCT/P establishments fail to update their registration information during the annual update period. In recent years, 390 of 2671, 379 of 2361, and 319 of 2431 registered domestic and foreign establishments failed to submit their annual registration for 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. Some of the establishments have not submitted their annual update for more than 2 years. After the annual registration period ends, CBER generates a list of establishments that have failed to submit their annual registration update. From this list, FDA attempts to follow up with each of these establishments to rectify their registration status. However, for a variety of reasons, such as outdated contact information, FDA is not able to contact some of these establishments. The follow-up process, including sending a reminder email and contact by phone, requires considerable additional time and FDA staff resources. When establishments fail to update their registration information in eHCTERS, they are improperly registered in eHCTERS and improperly displayed in the Public Query Application as ‘‘Registered’’. Not only does this inaccurate and outdated information compromise the integrity of eHCTERS, it also hinders the public’s ability to rely on establishment registration information. III. FDA’s Intended Response To address the above registration and listing problems, FDA is encouraging establishments that are required to register under part 1271 to review their current registration to ensure its accuracy. Any registrations that are outdated should be updated as soon as possible. Establishments are required to annually update their registration pursuant to FDA regulations. Establishments who do not submit their annual registration are in violation of the regulations at part 1271. Ninety days after publication of this notice, and every January thereafter, FDA will inactivate an HCT/P establishment’s registration when the establishment fails to submit their annual registration update during the previous annual update period between November 15 to December 31. FDA will PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 no longer attempt to follow up with establishments to rectify their registration status. The eHCTERS Public Query Application will display the establishment registration status as ‘‘inactive’’ and include the last annual registration year. Email notification of the inactivation will be sent to the reporting official of the establishment, and the reporting official may access the establishment’s account in eHCTERS to change or update its registration. If the email notifying the establishment of the change in registration status to ‘‘inactive’’ is undeliverable, FDA will call the phone number of the establishment to provide notification. If an establishment changes or updates its registration in eHCTERS after its registration has been inactivated due to failure to annually update registration information, the eHCTERS Public Query Application will display the establishment’s status as ‘‘Registered’’ and the last annual registration year will be updated to the current year. IV. Resources Available To Assist With Updating Registration and HCT/P Listings Access to part 1271 is available at: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/ chapter-I/subchapter-L/part-1271?toc=1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Services Report, OMB No. 0915– 0151—Extension. Abstract: The Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) and the Community Based Dental Partnership Program (CBDPP) under Part F of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) offer funding to accredited dental education programs to support the education and training of oral health providers in HIV oral health care and reimbursement for the provision of oral health services for people eligible for the RWHAP. Institutions eligible for RWHAP DRP and CBDPP are accredited schools of dentistry and other accredited dental education programs, such as dental hygiene programs or those sponsored by a school of dentistry, a hospital, or a public or private institution that offers postdoctoral training in the specialties of dentistry, advanced education in general dentistry, or a dental general practice residency. The RWHAP DRP Application for the Notice of Funding Opportunity includes the Dental Services Report (DSR) that applicants use to apply for funding of nonreimbursed costs incurred in providing oral health care to patients with HIV and to report annual program data. Awards are authorized under section 2692(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300ff–111(b)).

The DSR collects data on program information, client demographics, oral health services, funding, and training. It also requests applicants to provide narrative descriptions of their services and facilities, as well as their linkages and how they collaborate with communitybased providers of oral health services. Beginning with the 2022 DSR submission, the DSR website provided RWHAP DRP applicants and RWHAP CBDPP recipients an easily accessible and secure location to enter and submit their aggregate DSR data annually. The web-based platform is accessible by all users and allows users to easily navigate the site and enter their data. Users can see their report submission status and will no longer email their completed dataset to HRSA. The implementation of the DSR website has contributed to the overall decrease in burden hours. HRSA proposes two additions to the DSR data reporting tool. First, HRSA proposes adding an additional response option to the HIV/AIDS Status question to record clients whose HIV status is indeterminate. Second, HRSA proposes adding a question that will identify specific populations such as LGBTQI, urban/suburban/rural persons, homeless persons, persons with substance use disorder, migrant or seasonal workers, incarcerated/paroled persons, and/or runaway youth, who were specifically prioritized to receive services through community-based partnership programs. A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2023 (Volume 88, No. 45, pages 14375–76). There were no public comments in response to the notice.
