Patient Safety Organizations: Voluntary Relinquishment From the Catholic Health Initiatives Patient Safety Organization, LLC
The Patient Safety Rule authorizes AHRQ, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, to list as a PSO an entity that attests that it meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for listing. A PSO can be ``delisted'' by the Secretary if it is found to no longer meet the requirements of the Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety Rule, when a PSO chooses to voluntarily relinquish its status as a PSO for any reason, or when a PSO's listing expires. AHRQ has accepted a notification of voluntary relinquishment from the Catholic Health Initiatives Patient Safety Organization, LLC of its status as a PSO, and has delisted the PSO accordingly.

World Trade Center Health Program; Petitions 016 and 017-Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonism, Including Manganese-Induced Parkinsonism; Finding of Insufficient Evidence
On February 22, 2017, the Administrator of the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program received a petition (Petition 016) to add Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism, including manganese-induced parkinsonism, to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions (List). On May 10, 2017, the Administrator received a second petition (Petition 017) to add the same health conditions to the List. Upon reviewing the scientific and medical literature, including information provided by the two petitioners, the Administrator has determined that the available evidence does not have the potential to provide a basis for a decision on whether to add Parkinson's disease and/or parkinsonism, including manganese-induced parkinsonism, to the List. The Administrator also finds that insufficient evidence exists to request a recommendation of the WTC Health Program Scientific/Technical Advisory Committee (STAC), to publish a proposed rule, or to publish a determination not to publish a proposed rule.
