Under the regulations, as a first step
in becoming certified, mammography facilities must become
accredited by an FDA approved accreditation body (AB). This
requires undergoing a review of their clinical images and providing
the AB with information showing that they meet the equipment,
personnel, quality assurance and quality control standards, and
have a medical reporting and recordkeeping program, a medical
outcomes audit program, and a consumer compliant mechanism. On the
basis of this accreditation, facilities are then certified by FDA
or an FDA-approved State certification agency and must prominently
display their certificate. These actions are taken to ensure safe,
accurate, and reliable mammography on a nationwide basis.
There are no program changes.
The hour burden has been adjusted to account for a slight increase
in the number of respondents for § 900.3(c) “AB renewal of
approval.” This resulted in a 14-hour increase to the burden
estimate. Additionally, we updated the capital costs and operating
and maintenance costs by adjusting them for inflation since the
last update to those estimates.* This adjustment resulted in a
$1,893,071 increase to the estimated capital and operating and
maintenance costs ($24,410,106 previously; $26,303,177 current
extension request). * Using the Bureau of Labor and Statistics CPI
Inflation Calculator
(https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm). Updates were
calculated from July 2013 (date of submission to OMB of the last
update to the “Estimate of the Other Total Annual Cost to
Respondents and/or Recordkeepers/Capital Costs” section of the
burden estimate) to January 2019. The estimates are rounded to the
nearest dollar.
