Enhancing Coverage of Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act
This document sets forth proposed rules that would amend the regulations regarding coverage of certain preventive services under the Public Health Service Act. Specifically, this document proposes rules that would provide that medical management techniques used by non- grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group or individual health insurance coverage with respect to such preventive services would not be considered reasonable unless the plan or issuer provides an easily accessible, transparent, and sufficiently expedient exceptions process that would allow an individual to receive coverage without cost sharing for the preventive service that is medically necessary with respect to the individual, as determined by the individual's attending provider, even if such service is not generally covered under the plan or coverage. These proposed rules also contain separate requirements that would apply to coverage of contraceptive items that are preventive services under the Public Health Service Act. Specifically, these proposed rules would require plans and issuers to cover certain recommended over-the-counter contraceptive items without requiring a prescription and without imposing cost-sharing requirements. In addition, the proposed rules would require plans and issuers to cover certain recommended contraceptive items that are drugs and drug-led combination products without imposing cost-sharing requirements, unless a therapeutic equivalent of the drug or drug-led combination product is covered without cost sharing. Finally, this document proposes to require a disclosure pertaining to coverage and cost-sharing requirements for over-the-counter contraceptive items in plans' and issuers' Transparency in Coverage internet-based self-service tools or, if requested by the individual, on paper. These proposed rules would not modify Federal conscience protections related to contraceptive coverage for employers, plans and issuers.

Prior to proposing to list phenethyl bromide as a list I chemical under the Controlled Substances Act, DEA is soliciting information on the current uses of phenethyl bromide (other than for the synthesis of fentanyl) in order to properly determine the effect such a proposed action would have on legitimate industry.

Positive Train Control Systems
FRA is proposing to amend certain regulations governing positive train control (PTC) systems. Since December 31, 2020, by law, PTC systems have generally governed rail operations on PTC-mandated main lines, which encompass nearly 59,000 route miles today. Through FRA's oversight and continued engagement with the industry, FRA has found that its existing PTC regulations do not adequately address temporary situations during which PTC technology is not enabled, including after certain initialization failures or in cases where a PTC system needs to be temporarily disabled to facilitate repair, maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, or capital projects. FRA expects PTC systems to be reliable and robust, further reducing the occurrence of initialization failures and outages. This NPRM proposes to establish strict parameters and operating restrictions under which railroads may continue to operate safely in certain necessary scenarios when PTC technology is temporarily not governing rail operations. The purpose of this NPRM is to enable continued, safe operations and improve rail safety by facilitating prompt repairs, upgrades, and restoration of PTC system service.
