| 00-18548 | Privacy Act of 1974; Report of New System | Notice | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system of records, "National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) System, HHS/HCFA/CHPP, 09-70-0531." HCFA and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, are collaborating on an effort to study the effectiveness of lung volume reduction surgery. The study is called "National Emphysema Treatment Trial." The purpose of this multi-center randomized study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of lung volume reduction surgery on function, morbidity and mortality, and to define appropriate patient selection criteria in order to determine which patients will likely benefit from lung volume reduction surgery. The primary purpose of the system of records is to maintain data that will allow HCFA to collect and provide secure data on participants in the randomized phase of the study, pay claims, and to monitor and evaluate the clinical trial. Information retrieved from this system of records will also be disclosed to: support regulatory, reimbursement and policy functions performed within the agency or by a contractor or consultant, another federal or state agency to enable such agency to administer a federal health benefits program, or to enable such agency to fulfill a requirement of a Federal statute or regulation that implements a health benefits program funded in whole or in part with federal funds, support research, evaluation, or epidemiological projects related to the prevention of disease or disability, or the restoration or maintenance of health, and for payment related projects, support constituent requests made to a congressional representative, support litigation involving the agency, and, combat fraud and abuse in certain health benefits programs. We have provided background information about the proposed system in the "Supplementary Information" section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that HCFA provide an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the proposed routine uses, HCFA invites comments on all portions of this notice. See "Effective Dates" section for comment period. | 2000-08-04 | 2000 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/08/04/00-18548/privacy-act-of-1974-report-of-new-system | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-08-04/pdf/00-18548.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Health Care Finance Administration | 221,559 | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system of records, "National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) System, HHS/HCFA/CHPP, 09-70-0531."
