Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Success Rates Reporting and Data Validation Procedures

On May 31, 2018, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requested comments on a plan to (1) revise the definition and characterization of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) success rates and (2) introduce clinic validation footnotes for the annual ART Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report. In the plan, CDC proposed to include the footnotes to identify clinics selected by CDC to participate in the validation process of the National ART Surveillance System (NASS) data and: (a) Do participate, (b) do participate and have major data discrepancies identified through this process, or (c) decline to participate in the data validation process. This notice responds to the comments received in response to the notice published on May 31, 2018 and announces the availability of the revised process for ART Success Rates Reporting and plans for revising Data Validation Procedures.
