Bioterrorism Training and Curriculum Development Program; Notification of Exception to Competition
Document Number: E6-12267
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-08-01
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration
The Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Healthcare Systems Bureau, Division of Healthcare Preparedness Bioterrorism Training and Curriculum Development Program (BTCDP) will provide supplemental funding to approximately five fiscal year (FY) 2006 BTCDP awardees to plan, test and evaluate the expansion of regional healthcare preparedness training efforts to a nationwide focus. A limited competition within the existing 19 awardees will be used to identify the recipients. Authority: This activity is under that authority of the Public Health Service Act, Title III, Section 319F(g), 42 U.S.C. 247d-6(g). Purpose: The purpose of supplemental awards is to expand the reach of the originally approved BTCDP awards from the currently approved geographic region to include the entire Nation. The intended recipients of this limited eligibility program expansion will be the successfully competed and objectively reviewed applicants from the already supported 19 regional BTCDP awardees. The program expansion will enhance consistency in preparedness training by providing proven training through a nationwide focus. Previous efforts have consisted of a more limited approach focusing training at a local/regional level. Amount: The anticipated award amount of $1.8 million will be distributed among the 4 or 5 most highly ranked (by objective review) applicants from the existing 19 BTCDP awardees. Awards will average $360,000. Project Period: The period of support is from September 30, 2006, to August 31, 2007, and will align with the existing budget period. Justification for the Exception to Competition: Open competition applications for the BTCDP program were received and reviewed by an objective review panel in the summer of FY 2005, at which time BTCDP's local and regional training plans, curriculum and evaluation strategies were reviewed and approved. A total of 74 Continuing Education applications were reviewed and 50 applications were approved. Nineteen projects were funded after careful review from a strongly competitive pool of applicants, emerging as the strongest entities with proven experience and track records to expand their accomplishments to a nationwide target of healthcare providers. Since that time, the awardees have continued to use Federal funds to align their training with the National Preparedness Goal and to deliver training consistent with HRSA's goals. BTCDP funded programs are uniquely suited to participate in this geographic expansion based upon their authorship and mastery of tested curriculum. BTCDP awardees have been awarded funds specifically to develop training strategies for all healthcare professionals. Their experiences have made them uniquely aware of potential pitfalls to be overcome in developing and testing a national training plan and have the expertise to respond to such barriers as they arise. Since the inception of the program in FY 2003, BTCDP awardees have been responsible for the training of 225,000 healthcare providers on a locality-by-locality basis and stand ultimately poised to deploy and evaluate national training strategies. BTCDP awardees are highly regarded academic institutions which have dedicated staff and infrastructure to create quality training opportunities for healthcare providers. Curriculum created with BTCDP dollars has already been approved by the academic institutions from which they emanate and has already secured the approval of healthcare professional continuing education accreditation bodies. Awardees possess the building blocks of the infrastructure necessary to efficiently test a national training system, and they have the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure the efficient use of funds for healthcare preparedness training. The BTCDP is the only Federal program solely committed to the preparedness training of healthcare providers. As such, BTCDP awardees share curriculum, accomplishments and lessons learned through an established network on a regular basis, a network vital to the development of a national plan. Awardees stand uniquely prepared to respond to congressional demand for an efficient and effective national training strategy within the fiscal and time constraints of this supplement. This supplement is the first step in meeting this demand through the efficient use of proven curriculum by experienced trainers on a national basis.

Blood Vessels Recovered With Organs and Intended for Use in Organ Transplantation; Companion Document to Direct Final Rule
Document Number: 06-4370
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-05-12
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are proposing to amend their regulations to consider as part of an organ those blood vessels recovered with the organ that are intended for use in organ transplantation (HRSA regulation); and to exclude such blood vessels from the definition of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue- based products (HCT/Ps) (FDA regulation). We (HRSA and FDA) are taking this action to provide that blood vessels recovered with organs and intended for use in organ transplantation will be governed by the regulations pertaining to organs. The regulation of other recovered blood vessels would remain unchanged. We believe that this change will eliminate the unnecessary burden resulting from an organ procurement organization's efforts to comply with both FDA and HRSA rules with respect to blood vessels (FDA jurisdiction) and organs (HRSA jurisdiction). This proposed rule is a companion document to the direct final rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. We are taking this action because the proposed changes are noncontroversial, and we do not anticipate any significant adverse comments. If we receive any significant adverse comments that warrant terminating the direct final rule, we will consider such comments on the proposed rule in developing the final rule.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are amending their regulations to consider as part of an organ those blood vessels recovered with the organ that are intended for use in organ transplantation (HRSA regulation); and to exclude such blood vessels from the definition of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue- based products (HCT/Ps) (FDA regulation). We (HRSA and FDA) are taking this action to provide that blood vessels recovered with organs and intended for use in organ transplantation are governed by the regulations pertaining to organs. The regulation of other recovered blood vessels remains unchanged. We believe that this change will eliminate the unnecessary burden resulting from an organ procurement organization's efforts to comply with both FDA and HRSA rules with respect to blood vessels (FDA jurisdiction) and organs (HRSA jurisdiction). We are issuing these amendments directly as a final rule because they are noncontroversial, and there is little likelihood that we will receive any significant adverse comments. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a companion proposed rule under our usual procedures for notice and comment in the event that we receive any significant adverse comments on the direct final rule. If we receive any significant adverse comments that warrant terminating the direct final rule, we will consider such comments on the proposed rule in developing the final rule.

C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program: National Cord Blood Inventory; Recognition of Cord Blood Bank Accreditation Program(s)
Document Number: E6-6313
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-04-27
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration
Public Law 109-129 requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to recognize one or more cord blood accreditation entities for the accreditation of cord blood banks participating in the collection and maintenance of umbilical cord blood units for the National Cord Blood Inventory. These cord blood units will be made available for unrelated donor blood stem cell transplants through the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program. The HRSA, Healthcare Systems Bureau (HSB), Division of Transplantation (DoT) is in the process of information-gathering to assist in the determination of which cord blood bank accreditation program(s) to recognize on an interim basis for the initial cycle of funding for the National Cord Blood Inventory. The purpose of this solicitation is to receive public input on the following: (1) Approaches to accreditation required to ensure quality cord blood bank operations (including collection sites); (2) Utilization of accreditation programs to ensure product quality and best practices; (3) Degree to which accreditation standards are evidence based and supported by published literature; (4) Extent to which accreditation standards allow for variations in cord blood bank practices; (5) Criteria for the Secretary to consider in recognizing cord blood bank accrediting programs for the National Cord Blood Inventory, C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program. The HRSA intends for this interim process to be followed by a formal, more comprehensive recognition process that will include input from both the Advisory Council, once it is established, and the interested public as required in the legislation. The purpose of this Notice is to invite interested parties to register for and participate in either of two conference calls, described below, that HRSA is scheduling to obtain comment on factors relevant to determining which accrediting organization(s) to recognize for the initial cycle of funding under the National Cord Blood Inventory.
Response to Solicitation of Comments on Proposed Changes to Criteria and Process for Assessing Community Need Under the President's Health Centers Initiative
Document Number: E6-6212
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-04-26
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration
A notice was published in the Federal Register (FRN) on February 4, 2005 (Vol. 70, No. 23, pp. 6016-6023), detailing proposed changes to the Need for Assistance (NFA) Worksheet criteria being considered for use in future Consolidated Health Center New Access Point (NAP) grant cycles. The FRN requested public comments on these proposed changes and on the degree to which Need should be weighted relative to the other criteria used in the NAP application scoring process. Comments were to be provided to HRSA by March 7, 2005. The proposed changes to the NFA Worksheet criteria and the solicitation of comments were motivated by HRSA's continuous efforts to improve its grant processes. To that end, HRSA sought comment on how to improve its measure of need for comprehensive primary and preventive health care services in the service area or population to be served by a NAP applicant, and whether the weighting of need relative to other application review criteria should be increased. Comments were received from over 50 organizations and/or individuals regarding the proposed changes. These comments were thoroughly evaluated. This FRN presents a summary of the comments received by topic, with HRSA's corresponding responses, and a summary of the final changes HRSA has decided to make to the NFA Worksheet and the weighting of Need in the application review process. Authorizing Legislation: Section 330(e)(1)(A) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended, authorizes support for the operation of public and nonprofit private health centers that provide health services to medically underserved populations. Similarly, section 330(g) authorizes grants for delivery of services to Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers; section 330(h) to Homeless populations; and section 330(i) to residents of Public Housing. Reference: For the previous NFA Worksheet criteria and previously used application weights, see Program Information Notice (PIN) 2005-01, entitled (Requirements of Fiscal Year 2005 Funding Opportunity for Health Center New Access Point Grant Applications.'' Background: The goal of the President's Health Centers Initiative, which began in fiscal year (FY) 2002, is to increase access to comprehensive primary and preventive health care services through development of new and/or significantly expanded health center access points in 1,200 of the Nation's neediest communities. Funded health centers are expected to provide comprehensive primary and preventive health care services in areas of high need that will improve the health status of the medically underserved populations to be served and decrease health disparities. Services at these new access points may be targeted toward an entire community or service area or toward a specific population group in the service area that has been identified as having unique and significant barriers to affordable and accessible health care services. It is important that NAP grant awards be made to entities that will successfully implement a viable and legislatively compliant program for the delivery of comprehensive primary health services. It is also essential that all NAP applicants demonstrate the need for such services in the community/population to be served and be evaluated on that need. As part of its efforts to improve the needs assessment process, HRSA arranged for an external evaluation of the NFA Worksheet criteria and the use of need factors in the overall application review process. The evaluation was conducted by a team consisting of HSR, Inc. and the University of North Carolina's Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research. Key results of the evaluation analyses were presented in the FRN, as well as recommendations for proposed changes. Comments were solicited for the proposed changes. A summary of the comments received from the public and HRSA's response to these comments are presented below.

National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: Reporting on Adverse and Negative Actions
Document Number: 06-2686
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-03-21
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration
This proposed rule would revise existing regulations under sections 401-432 of the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986, governing the National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners, to incorporate statutory requirements under section 1921 of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 5(b) of the Medicare and Medicaid Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987, and as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. The Medicare and Medicaid Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987, along with certain additional provisions in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, was designed to protect program beneficiaries from unfit health care practitioners, and otherwise improve the anti-fraud provisions of the Medicare and State health care programs. Section 1921, the statutory authority upon which this regulatory action is based, requires each State to adopt a system of reporting to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) certain adverse licensure actions taken against health care practitioners and health care entities licensed or otherwise authorized by a State (or a political subdivision thereof) to provide health care services. It also requires each State to report any negative actions or findings that a State licensing authority, peer review organization, or private accreditation entity has concluded against a health care practitioner or health care entity.
