Drometrizole Trisiloxane Eligibility for Potential Inclusion in Sunscreen Monograph; Over-the-Counter Sunscreen Drug Products for Human Use; Request for Safety, Effectiveness, and Environmental Data
As part of our ongoing review of over-the-counter (OTC) drug products, we (Food and Drug Administration, FDA) are announcing a call- for-data for safety, effectiveness, and environmental information for drometrizole trisiloxane, in concentrations up to 15 percent, as a sunscreen single active ingredient and in combination with generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) sunscreen active ingredients found in the sunscreen monograph. We reviewed a time and extent application (TEA) for drometrizole trisiloxane and determined that it is eligible to be considered for inclusion in our OTC drug monograph system. We will evaluate the submitted safety and effectiveness data and information to determine whether drometrizole trisiloxane can be GRASE for its proposed OTC use. We also request data and information to assess the projected environmental effects of a potential GRASE determination in order to assist us in complying with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).

This proposed rule is a supplement to the fiscal year (FY) 2011 hospital inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS) and long- term care prospective payment system (LTCH PPS) proposed rule published in the May 4, 2010 Federal Register. This supplemental proposed rule would implement certain statutory provisions relating to Medicare payments to hospitals for inpatient services that are contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively known as the Affordable Care Act). It would also specify statutorily required changes to the amounts and factors used to determine the rates for Medicare acute care hospital inpatient services for operating costs and capital-related costs, and for long-term care hospital costs.

The rates, tables, and impacts included in this notice reflect changes required by or resulting from the implementation of several provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. These provisions require the extension of the expiration date for certain geographic reclassifications and special exception wage indices through September 30, 2010; and certain market basket updates for the IPPS and LTCH PPS.
Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a Modified or Altered System of Records
In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, CMS is proposing to modify or alter existing system of records titled ``National Provider System,'' System No. 09-70-0008. Under the authority of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Public Law (Pub. L.) 104-191, this system was established and published in the Federal Register (FR) at 63 FR 40297 (July 28, 1998). The system name ``National Provider System'' describes the original system designed to enumerate individual health care providers and maintain the information submitted in their application, the National Provider Identifier (NPI) Application/Update Form (Form CMS- 10114). Expectation of the adoption of a standard unique health identifier for health plans would broaden the function of the system to enable it to assign health plan identifiers to health plans; as a result, the name of the system is proposed to read: the ``National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES).'' Although the Federal Register Notice (July 28, 1998) stated that both organizational providers and providers who are individuals are included in the NPS database, and the system may be expanded in the future to include enumerated health plans, this system of records will be applicable only to the collection and maintenance of information about enumerated health care providers who are individuals (e.g., physicians and non- physician practitioners), containing the information they submitted on their NPI applications and their assigned NPI.
