SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Statutory Authority 

This final rule is published under the 

authority granted to the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services by 42 U.S.C. 5101, et seq. 

In accordance with the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553), it is the practice of the Secretary 

to offer interested parties the 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

regulations. However, these regulations 

merely reflect statutory changes and 

remove unnecessary and obsolete 

regulatory provisions. Removal of the 

regulations does not establish or affect 

substantive policy. Therefore, the 

Secretary has determined, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public comment is 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. 

Background 

There have been major and extensive 

legislative changes to CAPTA since the 

CAPTA regulations in 45 CFR part 1340 

were issued in 1983 and updated in 

1990. The regulations provided 

guidance to States to implement CAPTA 

programs that were in effect prior to 

1996. These programs changed 

significantly beginning with the Child 

Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act 

Amendments of 1996. This CAPTA 

reauthorization overhauled the CAPTA 

state grant program, including the 

program authorizations for 

appropriations, making the regulations 

obsolete. Later, CAPTA reauthorizations 

also amended the State grant program in 

section 106 of CAPTA, making the 

regulations outdated since they do not 

include all of the CAPTA state grant 

program requirements contained in the 

law. 

Furthermore, Section 6 of the 

President’s Executive Order 13563 of 

January 18, 2011 called for retrospective 

analyses of existing rules ‘‘that may be 

outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or 

excessively burdensome, and to modify, 

streamline, expand, or repeal them in 

accordance with what has been 

learned.’’ As such, we believe it is 

unnecessary and outmoded to 

implement the CAPTA state grant 

programs through regulation. We 

believe the program requirements are 

made clear in the statute and have 

provided policy interpretations and 

program instructions to implement the 

program since 1996 in lieu of 

regulations. Removing the CAPTA 

regulations at 45 CFR part 1340 would 

be in keeping with Executive Order 

13563. 

In addition, section 109 of CAPTA 

instructs the Secretary to adopt 

regulations that are ‘‘necessary or 

appropriate to ensure that there is 

effective coordination’’ among CAPTA 

programs. We believe these regulations 

are no longer necessary or appropriate 

to ensure coordination because we have 

provided policy interpretations and 

program instructions to guide such 

coordination. 

For these reasons, based on our 

analysis of 45 CFR part 1340, we are 

removing 45 CFR part 1340 from the 

Code of Federal Regulations. 

Section-by-Section Discussion of the 

Provisions of This Rule 

Subpart A—General Provisions 

Section 1340.1 Purpose and Scope 

We are removing section 1340.1 

because it is outdated and non-essential 

to the current operations of the CAPTA 

programs. Paragraphs (a) and (b) clarify 

the role and activities of the National 

Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, 

which no longer exists; paragraph 

1340.1(c) is extraneous because it only 

indicates that the requirements related 

to child abuse and neglect applicable to 

title IV–B of the Social Security Act are 

implemented by regulation at 45 CFR 

parts 1355 and 1357; and paragraph 

1340.1(d) is unnecessary because it 

simply restates the prohibition on 

CAPTA funding for the construction of 

facilities that is provided for in section 

108 of CAPTA. 

Section 1340.2 Definitions 

We are removing the definitions in 

section 1340.2 because we are removing 

all of the sections to which the 

definitions apply. In addition, they are 

non-essential to the operations of the 

CAPTA programs for the following 

reasons. Paragraph (a) defines a 

‘‘properly constituted authority’’ which 

is no longer relevant to the state plan 

requirements; paragraph (b) defines 

‘‘Act’’ to mean the Child Abuse 

Prevention and Treatment Act, which is 

unnecessary; paragraph (c) defines 

‘‘Center’’ as the National Center on 

Child Abuse and Neglect, which no 

longer exists. Paragraph (d) and its 

subparagraphs define and clarify the 

terms ‘‘child abuse and neglect’’, 

‘‘sexual abuse’’, ‘‘negligent treatment or 

maltreatment’’, ‘‘threatened harm to a 

child’s health or welfare’’ and ‘‘a person 

responsible for a child’s welfare’’. These 

definitions are outdated and superseded 

by statutory definitions; paragraphs (e) 

through (h) define ‘‘Commissioner’’, 

‘‘grants’’, ‘‘Secretary’’ and ‘‘State’’ which 

are either self-explanatory or defined in 

statute. 

Section 1340.3 Applicability of 

Department-Wide Regulations 

We are removing section 1340.3 

because we are removing all of the 

sections that the Department-wide 

regulations are applied to by section 

1340.3. In addition, these referenced 

regulations apply to CAPTA programs 

through the referenced Departmentwide regulation itself or are no longer 

applicable to CAPTA grants. 

Sections 1340.3(a) and (b) specify the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services regulations that are applicable 

to all grants and contracts made under 

this part: 

• 45 CFR part 16—Procedures of the 

Departmental Grant Appeals Board 

• 45 CFR part 46—Protection of 

human subjects 

• 45 CFR part 74—Administration of 

grants 

• 45 CFR part 75—Informal grant 

appeals procedures 

• 45 CFR part 80—Nondiscrimination 

under programs receiving Federal 

assistance through the Department of 

Health and Human Services— 

effectuation of title VI of the Civil Rights 

Act of 1964 

• 45 CFR part 81—Practice and 

procedure for hearings under part 80 

• 45 CFR part 84—Nondiscrimination 

on the basis of handicap in programs 

and activities receiving or benefiting 

from Federal financial assistance 

• 48 CFR Chapter 1—Federal 

Acquisition Regulations 

• 48 CFR Chapter 3—Federal 

Acquisition Regulations—Department of 

Health and Human Services. 

Section 1340.4 Coordination 

Requirements 

We are removing the coordination 

requirements in section 1340.4 because 

it is superseded by coordination 

language in section 101 of CAPTA, 

enacted in the CAPTA Amendments of 

1996. 

Subpart B—Grants to States 

Sections 1340.10 Purpose of This 

Subpart, 1340.11 Allocation of Funds 

Available, 1340.12 Application 

Process, 1340.13 Approval of 

Applications, 1340.14 Eligibility 

Requirements and 1340.15 Services 

and Treatment for Disabled Infants 

We are removing sections 1340.10 

through 1340.15 because they are 

obsolete. Prior to the enactment of the 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 60 / Monday, March 30, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 16579 

CAPTA Amendments of 1996, section 

107 of CAPTA authorized funding for 

two State grant programs: (1) To assist 

States to develop, strengthen and carry 

out child abuse and neglect prevention 

and treatment programs; and (2) to assist 

States in responding to reports of 

medical neglect (including the 

withholding of medically indicated 

treatment from disabled infants with 

life-threatening conditions), and 

improving the provision of services to 

disabled infants with life-threatening 

conditions and their families. Sections 

1340.10 through 1340.14 applied to the 

former and 1340.15 to the latter and are 

not applicable to the current CAPTA 

State grant program in section 106. 

The CAPTA Amendments of 1996 and 

later amendments significantly revised 

the State grant requirements in law prior 

to 1996. Now, States must submit a 

State plan in order to be eligible to 

receive a grant, including extensive 

State plan assurances. There is no 

longer the grant application and 

approval process specified in the 

regulations and States now provide 

assurances in their State plans that 

certain activities will be carried out 

using the grant funds to achieve the 

objectives of the law. 

The protections for disabled infants 

(commonly known as ‘‘Baby Doe’’) are 

now included in the statute in the form 

of a State plan assurance. Specifically, 

States are required under section 

106(b)(2)(C) of CAPTA to have 

procedures to respond to reports of 

withholding medically indicated 

treatment from disabled infants with 

life-threatening conditions. In addition 

‘‘withholding of medically indicated 

treatment’’ is defined in section 111 of 

CAPTA. No longer is there a specific 

State grant program and funding for 

improving the provision of services to 

disabled infants with life-threatening 

conditions and their families. 

Subpart C—Discretionary Grants and 

Contracts 

Section 1340.20 Confidentiality 

We are deleting section 1340.20 

because section 106 of CAPTA 

addresses requirements for state 

grantees for confidentiality of records, 

and confidentiality requirements for 

other grantees can be addressed in the 

terms and conditions of the grant. 

Appendix to Part 1340—Interpretive 

Guidelines Regarding CFR 1340.15— 

Services and Treatment for Disabled 

Infants 

We are deleting the appendix to Part 

1340. The appendix was added through 

a Final Rule (50 FR 14878) in 1985 to 

implement a grant program made 

available through the Child Abuse 

Amendments of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–457). 

This grant program is no longer in effect 

as it was at the time the appendix was 

added (Child Abuse Prevention and 

Treatment Act Amendments of 1996 

(Pub. L. 104–235)). 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(Pub. L. 104–13), all Departments are 

required to submit to OMB for review 

and approval any reporting or 

recordkeeping requirements inherent in 

a proposed or final rule. There are no 

new requirements as a result of this 

regulation. 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

The Secretary certifies, under 5 U.S.C. 

605(b), and enacted by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354), that 

this regulation will not result in a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if the regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity.) Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

of promoting flexibility. The regulations 

we are removing are obsolete and no 

longer applicable to the current law. By 

removing these outdated regulations, we 

are ending potential confusion in regard 

to the status of the regulations among 

states, grantees and other affected 

groups seeking information on the 

CAPTA program rules. There are no 

budget implications associated with 

removing the CAPTA regulations from 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

Congressional Review 

This final rule is not a major rule as 

defined in 5 U.S.C. Chapter 8. 

Assessment of Federal Regulation and 

Policies on Families 

Section 654 of the Treasury and 

General Government Appropriations 

Act of 1999 requires Federal agencies to 

determine whether a policy or 

regulation may negatively affect family 

well-being. If the agency’s 

determination is affirmative, then the 

agency must prepare an impact 

assessment addressing seven criteria 

specified in the law. The required 

review of the regulations and policies to 

determine their effect on family wellbeing has been completed, and this rule 

will have a neutral impact on family 

well-being as defined in the legislation. 

Executive Order 13132 

Executive Order 13132 prohibits an 

agency from publishing any rule that 

has federalism implications if the rule 

either imposes substantial direct 

compliance costs on State and local 

governments and is not required by 

statute, or the rule preempts State law, 

unless the agency meets the 

consultation and funding requirements 

of section 6 of the Executive Order. The 

regulation has no federalism impact as 

defined in the Executive Order.
