Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 55863 

This notice also solicits public comment 

on the ability of ACHC requirements to 

meet or exceed the Medicare conditions 

for participation for home health 

agencies. 

III. Evaluation of Deeming Authority 

Request 

On August 8, 2005, ACHC submitted 

all the necessary materials to enable us 

to make a determination concerning its 

request for approval as a deeming 

organization for HHAs. Under section 

1865(b)(2) of the Act and our regulations 

at § 488.8 (Federal review of 

accreditation organizations), our review 

and evaluation of ACHC will be 

conducted in accordance with, but not 

necessarily limited to, the following 

factors: 

• The equivalency of ACHC standards 

for home health care as compared with 

our comparable home health conditions 

of participation. 

• ACHC’s survey process to 

determine the following: 

—The composition of the survey team, 

surveyor qualifications, and the 

ability of the organization to provide 

continuing surveyor training. 

—The comparability of ACHC processes 

to those of State agencies, including 

survey frequency, and the ability to 

investigate and respond appropriately 

to complaints against accredited 

facilities. 

—ACHC’s processes and procedures for 

monitoring providers or suppliers 

found out of compliance with ACHC 

program requirements. These 

monitoring procedures are used only 

when ACHC identifies 

noncompliance. If noncompliance is 

identified through validation reviews, 

the survey agency monitors 

corrections as specified at § 488.7(d). 

—ACHC’s capacity to report 

deficiencies to the surveyed facilities 

and respond to the facility’s plan of 

correction in a timely manner. 

—ACHC capacity to provide us with 

electronic data in ASCII comparable 

code, and reports necessary for 

effective validation and assessment of 

the organization’s survey process. 

—The adequacy of ACHC’s staff and 

other resources, and its financial 

viability. 

—ACHC’s capacity to adequately fund 

required surveys. 

—ACHC’s policies with respect to 

whether surveys are announced or 

unannounced. 

—ACHC’s agreement to provide us with 

a copy of the most current 

accreditation survey together with any 

other information related to the 

survey as we may require (including 

corrective action plans). 

IV. Response to Public Comments and 

Notice Upon Completion of Evaluation 

Because of the large number of items 

of correspondence we normally receive 

on Federal Register documents 

published for comment, we are not able 

to acknowledge or respond to them 

individually. We will consider all 

comments we receive by the date and 

time specified in the DATES section of 

this preamble and will respond to the 

public comments in the preamble to that 

document. 

Upon completion of our evaluation, 

including evaluation of comments 

received as a result of this notice, we 

will publish a final notice in the Federal 

Register announcing the result of our 

evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Program Issuances 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is responsible for 

administering the Medicare and 

Medicaid programs. These programs pay 

for health care and related services for 

39 million Medicare beneficiaries and 

35 million Medicaid recipients. 

Administration of the two programs 

involves (1) furnishing information to 

Medicare beneficiaries and Medicaid 

recipients, health care providers, and 

the public and (2) maintaining effective 

communications with regional offices, 

State governments, State Medicaid 

agencies, State survey agencies, various 

providers of health care, all Medicare 

contractors that process claims and pay 

bills, and others. To implement the 

various statutes on which the programs 

are based, we issue regulations under 

the authority granted to the Secretary of 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services under sections 1102, 1871, 

1902, and related provisions of the 

Social Security Act (the Act). We also 

issue various manuals, memoranda, and 

statements necessary to administer the 

programs efficiently. 

Section 1871(c)(1) of the Act requires 

that we publish a list of all Medicare 

manual instructions, interpretive rules, 

statements of policy, and guidelines of 

general applicability not issued as 

regulations at least every 3 months in 

the Federal Register. We published our 

first notice June 9, 1988 (53 FR 21730). 

Although we are not mandated to do so 

by statute, for the sake of completeness 

of the listing of operational and policy 

statements, and to foster more open and 

transparent collaboration, we are 

continuing our practice of including 

Medicare substantive and interpretive 

regulations (proposed and final) 

published during the respective 3- 

month time frame. 

II. How To Use the Addenda 

This notice is organized so that a 

reader may review the subjects of 

manual issuances, memoranda, 

substantive and interpretive regulations, 

NCDs, and FDA-approved IDEs 

published during the subject quarter to 

determine whether any are of particular 

interest. We expect this notice to be 

used in concert with previously 

published notices. Those unfamiliar 

with a description of our Medicare 

manuals may wish to review Table I of 

our first three notices (53 FR 21730, 53 

FR 36891, and 53 FR 50577) published 

in 1988, and the notice published March 

31, 1993 (58 FR 16837). Those desiring 

information on the Medicare NCD 

Manual (NCDM, formerly the Medicare 

Coverage Issues Manual (CIM)) may 

wish to review the August 21, 1989, 

publication (54 FR 34555). Those 

interested in the revised process used in 

making NCDs under the Medicare 

program may review the September 26, 

2003, publication (68 FR 55634). 

To aid the reader, we have organized 

and divided this current listing into 

eight addenda: 

• Addendum I lists the publication 

dates of the most recent quarterly 

listings of program issuances. 

• Addendum II identifies previous 

Federal Register documents that 

contain a description of all previously 

published CMS Medicare and Medicaid 

manuals and memoranda. 

• Addendum III lists a unique CMS 

transmittal number for each instruction 

in our manuals or Program Memoranda 

and its subject matter. A transmittal may 

consist of a single or multiple 

instruction(s). Often, it is necessary to 

use information in a transmittal in 

conjunction with information currently 

in the manuals. 

• Addendum IV lists all substantive 

and interpretive Medicare and Medicaid 

regulations and general notices 

published in the Federal Register 

during the quarter covered by this 

notice. For each item, we list the—

Æ Date published; 

Æ Federal Register citation; 

Æ Parts of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) that have changed (if 

applicable); 

Æ Agency file code number; and 

Æ Title of the regulation. 

• Addendum V includes completed 

NCDs, or reconsiderations of completed 

NCDs, from the quarter covered by this 

notice. Completed decisions are 

identified by the section of the NCDM 

in which the decision appears, the title, 

the date the publication was issued, and 

the effective date of the decision. 

• Addendum VI includes listings of 

the FDA-approved IDE categorizations, 

using the IDE numbers the FDA assigns. 

The listings are organized according to 

the categories to which the device 

numbers are assigned (that is, Category 

A or Category B), and identified by the 

IDE number. 

• Addendum VII includes listings of 

all approval numbers from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

collections of information in CMS 

regulations in title 42; title 45, 

subchapter C; and title 20 of the CFR. 

• Addendum VIII includes listings of 

Medicare-approved carotid stent 

facilities. All facilities listed meet 

CMS’s standards for performing carotid 

artery stenting for high risk patients.

transmittals and Program Memoranda 

listed in this notice can be purchased 

from NTIS. Interested parties should 

identify the transmittal(s) they want. 

GPO or NTIS can give complete details 

on how to obtain the publications they 

sell. Additionally, most manuals are 

available at the following Internet 

address: http://cms.hhs.gov/manuals/ 

default.asp. 

B. Regulations and Notices 

Regulations and notices are published 

in the daily Federal Register. Interested 

individuals may purchase individual 

copies or subscribe to the Federal 

Register by contacting the GPO at the 

address given above. When ordering 

individual copies, it is necessary to cite 

either the date of publication or the 

volume number and page number. 

The Federal Register is also available 

on 24x microfiche and as an online 

database through GPO Access. The 

online database is updated by 6 a.m. 

each day the Federal Register is 

published. The database includes both 

text and graphics from Volume 59, 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 55865 

Number 1 (January 2, 1994) forward. 

Free public access is available on a 

Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) 

through the Internet and via 

asynchronous dial-in. Internet users can 

access the database by using the World 

Wide Web; the Superintendent of 

Documents home page address is 

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/ 

index.html, by using local WAIS client 

software, or by telnet to 

swais.gpoaccess.gov, then log in as guest 

(no password required). Dial-in users 

should use communications software 

and modem to call (202) 512–1661; type 

swais, then log in as guest (no password 

required). 

C. Rulings 

We publish rulings on an infrequent 

basis. Interested individuals can obtain 

copies from the nearest CMS Regional 

Office or review them at the nearest 

regional depository library. We have, on 

occasion, published rulings in the 

Federal Register. Rulings, beginning 

with those released in 1995, are 

available online, through the CMS 

Home Page. The Internet address is 

http://cms.hhs.gov/rulings. 

D. CMS’ Compact Disk-Read Only 

Memory (CD–ROM) 

Our laws, regulations, and manuals 

are also available on CD–ROM and may 

be purchased from GPO or NTIS on a 

subscription or single copy basis. The 

Superintendent of Documents list ID is 

HCLRM, and the stock number is 717–

139–00000–3. The following material is 

on the CD–ROM disk: 

• Titles XI, XVIII, and XIX of the Act. 

• CMS-related regulations. 

• CMS manuals and monthly 

revisions. 

• CMS program memoranda. 

The titles of the Compilation of the 

Social Security Laws are current as of 

January 1, 1999. (Updated titles of the 

Social Security Laws are available on 

the Internet at http://www.ssa.gov/ 

OP_Home/ssact/comp-toc.htm.) The 

remaining portions of CD–ROM are 

updated on a monthly basis. 

Because of complaints about the 

unreadability of the Appendices 

(Interpretive Guidelines) in the State 

Operations Manual (SOM), as of March 

1995, we deleted these appendices from 

CD–ROM. We intend to re-visit this 

issue in the near future and, with the 

aid of newer technology, we may again 

be able to include the appendices on 

CD–ROM. 

Any cost report forms incorporated in 

the manuals are included on the CD–

ROM disk as LOTUS files. LOTUS 

software is needed to view the reports 

once the files have been copied to a 

personal computer disk. 

IV. How To Review Listed Material 

Transmittals or Program Memoranda 

can be reviewed at a local Federal 

Depository Library (FDL). Under the 

FDL program, government publications 

are sent to approximately 1,400 

designated libraries throughout the 

United States. Some FDLs may have 

arrangements to transfer material to a 

local library not designated as an FDL. 

Contact any library to locate the nearest 

FDL. 

In addition, individuals may contact 

regional depository libraries that receive 

and retain at least one copy of most 

Federal Government publications, either 

in printed or microfilm form, for use by 

the general public. These libraries 

provide reference services and 

interlibrary loans; however, they are not 

sales outlets. Individuals may obtain 

information about the location of the 

nearest regional depository library from 

any library. For each CMS publication 

listed in Addendum III, CMS 

publication and transmittal numbers are 

shown. To help FDLs locate the 

materials, use the CMS publication and 

transmittal numbers. For example, to 

find the Medicare NCD publication 

titled ‘‘Percutaneous Transluminal 

Angioplasty,’’ use CMS–Pub. 100–03, 

Transmittal No. 33.

particular item or service so covered. 

We include below all of the NCDs that 

were issued during the quarter covered

Category B IDEs 

[April Through June 2005] 

Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (21 U.S.C. 360c) devices fall into 

one of three classes. To assist CMS 

under this categorization process, the 

FDA assigns one of two categories to 

each FDA-approved IDE. Category A 

refers to experimental IDEs, and 

Category B refers to non-experimental 

IDEs. To obtain more information about 

the classes or categories, please refer to 

the Federal Register notice published 

on April 21, 1997 (62 FR 19328). 

The following list includes all 

Category B IDEs approved by FDA

Addendum VIII 

Medicare-Approved Carotid Stent 

Facilities 

[April Through June 2005] 

On March 17, 2005, we issued our 

decision memorandum on carotid artery 

stenting. We determined that carotid 

artery stenting with embolic protection 

is reasonable and necessary only if 

performed in facilities that have been 

determined to be competent in 

performing the evaluation, procedure, 

and follow-up necessary to ensure 

optimal patient outcomes. We have 

created a list of minimum standards for 

facilities modeled in part on 

professional society statements on 

competency. All facilities must at least 

meet our standards in order to receive 

coverage for carotid artery stenting for 

high risk patients.
