Title: Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA); Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Testing (CMS-3271-P) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would amend the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations to specify that the waived test categorization applies only to non-automated fecal occult blood tests. In addition, the proposed rule would remove the hemoglobin by copper sulfate method from the list of waived tests if commenters confirm that the method is no longer used.
