SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 1115A of the Social Security 

Act (the Act), as added by section 3021 

of the Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148), as amended 

by the Health Care and Education 

Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111– 

152) (collectively, the Affordable Care 

Act), established the Center for 

Medicare and Medicaid Innovation 

(Innovation Center) for the purpose of 

examining new ways of delivering 

health care and paying health care 

providers in ways that can save money 

for Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP while 

improving the quality of care for our 

beneficiaries. Through Accelerated 

Development Learning Sessions (ADLS), 

the Innovation Center will test whether 

intensive shared learning activities will 

expand and improve the capabilities of 

provider organizations to coordinate the 

care of a population of Medicare 

beneficiaries more effectively than 

organizations that do not participate in 

the ADLS. Well coordinated care can 

improve beneficiaries’ quality outcomes 

and reduce the growth of Medicare 

expenditures. 

Completion of the ADLS will not be 

a factor for selection or participation in 

a CMS ACO program. It is intended to 

provide ACOs with the opportunity to 

learn from their peers about essential 

ACO functions and various ways to 

build capacity needed to achieve better 

care for individuals, better population 

health, and lower growth in health care 

expenditures. 

The ACO ADLSs were first 

announced in the May 19, 2011 Federal 

Register (76 FR 28988). 

Each participating team should 

consist of two to four senior-level 

leaders (including at least one executive 

with financial/management 

responsibility and one with clinical 

responsibility). Participants are also 

asked to attend future Web based 

seminars and complete a full ACO 

implementation plan as part of the 

broader ADLS initiative to facilitate ongoing learning and evaluation. 

Information for all future ADLS will 

be posted online at https:// 

acoregister.rti.org as it becomes 

available. 

II. Completion of Planning Tool and 

Session Registration Information 

Registrants need to complete the 

registration form in order to participate 

in an ACO ADLS. Potential participants 

are also strongly encouraged to 

complete a comprehensive planning 

tool, which will allow them to take full 

advantage of the hands-on learning 

activities during the ADLS. The 

registration form and comprehensive 

planning tool are available on the ACO 

ADLS Web site at https:// 

acoregister.rti.org.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On June 22, 2009, the President 

signed the Family Smoking Prevention 

and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco 

Control Act) (Pub. L. 111–31) into law. 

The Tobacco Control Act amended the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) 

by, among other things, adding a new 

chapter granting FDA important new 

authority to regulate the manufacture, 

marketing, and distribution of tobacco 

products to protect the public health 

generally and to reduce tobacco use by 

minors. Section 904(e) of the FD&C Act 

(21 U.S.C. 387d(e)), as added by the 

Tobacco Control Act, requires FDA to 

establish, and periodically revise as 

appropriate, ‘‘a list of harmful and 

potentially harmful constituents, 

including smoke constituents, to health 

in each tobacco product by brand and 

by quantity in each brand and 

subbrand.’’ Section 904(e) of the FD&C 

Act also requires that FDA ‘‘publish a 

public notice requesting the submission 

by interested persons of scientific and 

other information concerning the 

harmful and potentially harmful 

constituents in tobacco products and 

tobacco smoke.’’ 

The Agency has solicited scientific 

and other information from interested 

persons and has developed a list of 

tobacco product constituents it 

currently believes are harmful or 

potentially harmful to health. Although 

the Agency’s work to date reflects 

consideration of substantial scientific 

and other information, we believe that 

additional information from the public 

may be beneficial to the Agency before 

it establishes the list described in 

section 904(e) of the FD&C Act. We are 

therefore publishing the Agency’s
