For almost 30 years, the Eldercare
Locator has helped older adults and
their families navigate this complex
environment by connecting those
needing assistance with State and local
agencies on aging that serve older adults
and their caregivers.
The Eldercare Locator serves
approximately 450,000 people a year
through the call center. To ensure that
the needs of those who contact the
Eldercare Locator are carefully matched
with the appropriate resources,
information specialists are trained to
listen closely to callers, identify relevant
local, state and/or national resources
and, when needed, provide a transfer to
a particular resource.
As a trusted national resource, the
supplement to the Eldercare Locator
will be used to expand the capacity of
the service to link a larger number of
people with disabilities, including older
adults and their family caregivers
needing services from local
organizations that can assist.
With the supplemental funding, ACL
will fund the maintenance of the DIAL
call center to support at least of 40,000
calls from people with disabilities and
their caregivers. In addition, DIAL will
utilize, maintain, and update a list of
trusted resources to assist callers in
making appropriate local connections.
Having to sift through countless
websites and make multiple phone calls
to gain education and access to
important community resources is a
significant issue for people with
disabilities.
Having an established one-stop call
center to provide accurate and up-todate state and local specific information
and referrals on important information
regarding local community resources for
people with disabilities is critically
needed. Using the established DIAL and
Eldercare Locator infrastructure, this
supplement will be used for
maintaining and providing technical
assistance about DIAL to assist people
with disabilities to make appropriate
state and local linkages to resources.
The grantee, working with appropriate
national disability organizations, will
maintain a call center with a dedicated
line and trained information specialists
to serve approximately 40,000 people
with disabilities.

[Docket No. FDA–2013–N–0134]
Withdrawal of Approval and Amending
of Mammography Quality Standards
Act Alternative Standards
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice of withdrawal.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or the Agency) is
announcing the withdrawal of two
Mammography Quality Standards Act
(MQSA) Alternative Standards and the
amending of one Alternative Standard
due to the updated MQSA regulations.
DATES: The relevant Alternative
Standards will be withdrawn or
amended as of September 10, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Preetham Sudhaker, Division of
Mammography Quality Standards
(DMQS), Center for Devices and
Radiological Health, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire
Ave., Bldg. 66, Silver Spring, MD 20993,
301–796–5911.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
On March 10, 2023, FDA issued a
final rule (88 FR 15126) to update the
mammography regulations that were
issued under the Mammography Quality
Standards Act of 1992 and the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The final
rule amending §§ 900.1 through 900.25
(21 CFR 900.1 through 900.25) will
become effective September 10, 2024.
Based on FDA’s determination that
withdrawing and amending several
MQSA Alternative Standards is justified
by § 900.12 (as amended in that final
rule), in accordance with § 900.18, FDA
is withdrawing approval of and
amending those alternatives.
II. Withdrawal of Approval and
Amendment of Alternative Standards
As of September 10, 2024, FDA is
withdrawing approval of MQSA
Alternative Standards #11
‘‘Modifications in the Assessment
Categories Used in Medical Reports’’
(https://www.fda.gov/radiationemitting-products/regulations-mqsa/
mqsa-alternative-standard-11modifications-assessment-categoriesused-medical-reports) and #12
‘‘Assessment category for ‘Post
Procedure Mammograms for Marker
Placement’ ’’ (https://www.fda.gov/
radiation-emitting-products/regulations-
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
mqsa/mqsa-alternative-standard-12assessment-category-post-proceduremammograms-marker-placement). FDA
is also amending the Alternative
Standard #8 ‘‘Separate Assessment for
Findings for Each Breast’’ (https://
www.fda.gov/radiation-emittingproducts/regulations-mqsa/mqsaalternative-standard-8-separateassessment-findings-each-breast).
FDA may approve an alternative to a
quality standard under § 900.12 when
the Agency determines that the
proposed alternative standard is at least
as effective in assuring quality
mammography as the standard it
proposes to replace, and is too limited
in applicability to justify amending the
standard, or when the expected benefit
to human health is so great that the time
needed to amend the standard presents
an unjustifiable risk to human health.
See § 900.18. Under § 900.18(g), FDA
shall amend or withdraw approval of an
alternative standard whenever the
Agency determines that such action is
necessary to protect the human health
or where otherwise justified by § 900.12.
For the reasons discussed below, FDA
has determined that withdrawing and/or
amending the Alternative Standards is
justified by § 900.12.
FDA has determined that
withdrawing Alternative Standard #11
is justified by § 900.12. Alternative
Standard #11 provided an alternative
standard to § 900.12(c)(1)(iv) and (v),
which provides the categories of overall
assessment of findings for use in the
reports of mammography examinations.
Specifically, the approved alternative
allowed use of: (1) an additional
assessment category (‘‘Known BiopsyProven Malignancy’’), (2) a reference to
the possible need to obtain prior
mammograms to make a final
assessment for the ‘‘Incomplete’’
assessment category, and (3) certain
clarifying language to various existing
assessment categories (e.g., ‘‘Benign
Finding(s),’’ ‘‘Suspicious Abnormality’’
(emphases added)).
Amended § 900.12(c)(1)(iv) includes
the additional assessment category
‘‘Known Biopsy-Proven Malignancy’’
and amended § 900.12(c)(1)(v) includes
a new provision that addresses the
potential need for prior mammograms
for comparison for ‘‘Incomplete’’
assessments. Specifically, the amended
§ 900.12(c)(1)(v)(A) and (B) provides
different requirements depending on
whether facilities use the assessment
category of ‘‘Incomplete: Need
additional imaging evaluation’’ or
‘‘Incomplete: Need prior mammograms
for comparison.’’ Alternative Standard
#11, however, groups these two
assessment categories into a single
