DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Office of the Secretary


Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance 
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 Document. 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are no longer active or valid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Health and Human Services 
is updating its Notice published on July 2, 2020 regarding Executive 
Order 13891. In that Notice, HHS made available its guidance portal 
which included all active guidance documents across HHS's 27 Operating 
and Staff Divisions. That Notice brought awareness that while many of 
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's (CMS) active guidance documents 
were included, it was not reflective of CMS's full inventory. OMB had 
granted CMS an extension until July 31, 2020 to fully populate the 
database to reflect CMS's full inventory of active guidance documents.
    This Notice informs of an additional OMB extension granted to the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) until September 30, 2020 to 
fully populate all of its inventory of active guidance documents.

Wilma M. Robinson,
Deputy Executive Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.
