Publication ID: Spring 2013

Title: National Practitioner Data Bank and Privacy Act; Exempt Records System; Technical Correction
Abstract: This final rule updates the cross-reference cited in the Privacy Act regulations at 45 CFR 5b.11(b)(ii)(L), from section 60.16 to section 60.21. The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) system of records (09-15-0054) is exempt from certain provisions of the Privacy Act at 45 CFR 5b.11(b)(2)(ii)(L), and the cross-reference cited in this section refers to the regulations that govern the NPDB. As a result of section 6403 of the Affordable Care Act, the regulations governing the NPDB were revised and certain section numbers in the NPDB regulations were changed, including the NPDB regulation cross-referenced at 45 CFR 5b.11(b)(2)(ii)(L). This change is technical in nature and does not significantly alter the current NPDB exemption at 45 CFR 5b.11(b)(2)(ii)(L).
