Documents
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Health and Human
Services.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On October 9, 2019, the President issued Executive Order
(E.O.) 13891: Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency
Guidance Documents. This E.O. requires all Federal agencies to
establish an on-line guidance portal and to rescind any guidance
documents that are no longer active or valid.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Samuel Shipley, Executive Secretariat,
at [email protected] or (202) 690-5627.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
granted the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) an extension
on February 27, 2020, allowing HHS until August 31, 2020, to establish
its guidance portal. This extension request can be found at: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/eo-13891-extension-request-2-27-20r.pdf.
Consistent with the E.O. and subsequent extension, this document
advises the public that HHS has comprehensively reviewed its guidance
documents, determined which have continued effect, and is making them
available on https://www.hhs.gov/guidance.
This guidance portal includes all active guidance documents from
across the HHS's 27 Operating and Staff Divisions. Please note: While
many of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) active
guidance documents are included here, this does not reflect CMS's full
inventory. OMB granted CMS an extension until July 31, 2020, to fully
populate the database.
Dated: June 29, 2020.
Wilma M. Robinson,
Deputy Executive Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.
