Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor Species
Document Number: 06-7070
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-08-22
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (MUMS act) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to authorize the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the agency) to establish new regulatory procedures that provide incentives intended to make more drugs legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for the treatment of minor animal species and uncommon diseases in major animal species. At this time, FDA is issuing proposed regulations to implement section 572 of the act entitled ``Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor Species.'' These regulations propose administrative procedures and criteria for index listing a new animal drug for use in a minor species. Such indexing provides a basis for legally marketing an unapproved new animal drug intended for use in a minor species.

Document Number: 06-6843
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-08-22
Agency: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services
This proposed rule would address certain provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, as well as make other proposed changes to Medicare Part B payment policy. We are proposing these changes to ensure that our payment systems are updated to reflect changes in medical practice and the relative value of services. This proposed rule also discusses geographic practice cost indices (GPCI) changes; requests for additions to the list of telehealth services; payment for covered outpatient drugs and biologicals; payment for renal dialysis services; policies related to private contracts and opt-out; policies related to bone mass measurement services, independent diagnostic testing facilities, the physician self-referral prohibition; laboratory billing for the technical component (TC) of physician pathology services; the clinical laboratory fee schedule; certification of advanced practice nurses; health information technology, and the health care information transparency initiative.
