subjects. 

On March 8, 2011, SACHRP will hear 

a panel presentation on the work of the 

Federal Demonstration Partnership, 

followed by discussion. This will be 

followed by the report of the Subpart A

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to

burden.

Supporting Regulations; Form No.: 

CMS–R–185 (OMB#: 0938–0686); Use:

accreditation organization/State 

licensure program standards and 

accreditation/licensure process is at 

least equal to or more stringent than 

those of the Clinical Laboratory

is approved, the laboratories that it 

accredits are ‘‘deemed’’ to meet the CLIA 

requirements based on this 

accreditation. Similarly, if a State 

licensure program is determined to have 

requirements that are equal to or more 

stringent than those of CLIA, its 

laboratories are considered to be exempt 

from CLIA certification and 

requirements. The information collected 

will be used by HHS to: determine 

comparability/equivalency of the
