Extension of Comment Period for Proposed Updates to the Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule as Part of the HRSA-Supported Preventive Services Guidelines for Infants, Children, and Adolescents

الملخص

HRSA is providing notice of a technical issue in the collection of public comments responding to a previous Federal Register notice, dated August 20, 2020, submitted to the American Academy of Pediatrics through its publicly available web-based portal during the period from August 20-27, 2020. After receiving no comments during this timeframe, a routine test found that the database that records public comments was not connected to the comment form on the web page. This technical issue has been resolved and the system is functional and collecting comments. HRSA encourages members of the public who may have previous submitted comments to resubmit and is extending the time period for public comments in response to proposed updates to the Periodicity Schedule of the Bright Futures Recommendations for Pediatric Preventive Health Care ("Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule"). The Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule is part of the HRSA-supported preventive service guidelines for infants, children, and adolescents under, and is maintained, in part, through a national cooperative agreement, the Bright Futures Pediatric Implementation Program.
