Department of Health and Human Services July 18, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the following public workshop entitled ``Refurbishing, Reconditioning, Rebuilding, Remarketing, Remanufacturing, and Servicing of Medical Devices Performed by Third-Party Entities and Original Equipment Manufacturers.'' The topics to be discussed are the current regulatory environment for these activities, the definitions of the various terms FDA proposed in the prior Federal Register notice on this subject, and whether these activities should appropriately be regulated by FDA or a non-governmental organization.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on ``Monitoring Changes in Attitudes and Practices among Family Planning Providers and Clinics,'' a survey to assess dissemination and use of guidance documents about the use of contraceptives and the delivery of quality family planning services.

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within HHS' Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is establishing five new systems of records: 09-80-0321 ORR Division of Children's Services Records; 09-80-0325 ORR Internet Refugee Arrivals Data System (iRADS); 09-80-0327 ORR Repatriation Program Records; 09- 80-0329 ORR Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Records; and 09-80-0388 ORR Refugee Suicide Database. ORR is deleting one system of records, 09-60- 0217 ORR Cuban Refugee Data System, which is being replaced by the new iRADS system of records. Four of the five new systems of records are ``mixed,'' in that they contain records pertaining to both U.S. persons (i.e., individuals who are citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States) and non-U.S. persons. The Privacy Act applies only to U.S. persons (citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States). As a matter of discretion, ORR will treat information that it maintains in its mixed systems of records as being subject to the provisions of the Privacy Act, regardless of whether the information relates to U.S. persons covered by the Privacy Act. This policy implements a 1975 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recommendation to apply, as a matter of policy, the administrative provisions of the Privacy Act to records about non-U.S. persons in mixed systems of records (referred to as the non-U.S. persons policy).

This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in the final rule published in the Federal Register on May 18, 2016, entitled ``Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities.''
