Center For Scientific Review; Notice of Closed Meetings, 68447-68448 [2024-19061]

Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 165 / Monday, August 26, 2024 / Notices assessment category: ‘‘Incomplete: Need additional imaging evaluation and/or prior mammograms for comparison.’’ As such, it is not clear how a facility would comply with both the Alternative Standard and the other applicable requirements in the amended regulations. Moreover, as discussed in the MQSA small entity compliance guide, FDA has generally exercised enforcement discretion regarding the final assessment category wording where the variation in wording does not change the meaning of the assessment category (e.g., ‘‘benign finding’’ instead of ‘‘benign’’ or ‘‘suspicious abnormality’’ instead of ‘‘suspicious’’), and FDA intends to continue such a practice. Thus, FDA has determined that Alternative Standard #11 is no longer needed, no longer appropriate, and may cause confusion, and so withdrawal of Alternative Standard #11 is justified by § 900.12. FDA also has determined that withdrawal of Alternative Standard #12 is justified by § 900.12. Alternative Standard #12 allowed use of an additional assessment category ‘‘Post Procedure Mammograms for Marker Placement.’’ As of the effective date of the MQSA final rule (September 10, 2024), the nearly identical assessment statement ‘‘Post-Procedure Mammogram for Marker Placement’’ is included in the amended § 900.12(c)(1)(iv)(G). Because amended § 900.12(c)(1)(iv)(G) incorporates Alternative Standard #12, FDA has determined that the alternative is no longer needed, no longer appropriate, and may cause confusion, and so withdrawal of Alternative Standard #12 is justified by § 900.12. Finally, FDA is amending Alternative Standard #8, which permitted interpreting physicians to provide a separate assessment of findings for each breast in the medical report instead of a single overall assessment of findings as set forth in § 900.12(c)(1)(iv). Specifically, the alternative permitted: ‘‘A separate assessment of findings for each breast, classified in one of the following categories,’’ instead of ‘‘A separate final assessment of findings for each breast, classified in one of the following categories.’’ This language is being amended to use the term ‘‘final assessment’’ to match the updated language in amended § 900.12(c)(1)(v). As a result of the amended § 900.12, amending Alternative Standard #8 is justified by § 900.12. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Aug 23, 2024 Jkt 262001 Dated: August 20, 2024. Lauren K.
