On May 12, LeadingAge responded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) following its request for information on deregulation.

Our comments span several agencies and call for the reversal or significant change to rules published in the Federal Register and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations.

In our letter, we ask OMB to reverse rules from the Department of Health and Human Services related to nursing home, home health, hospice, and PACE providers. We ask the Department of Housing and Urban Development to do the same for affordable housing providers, and we seek similar deregulation from the Department of Labor and the Drug Enforcement Administration. We also urge OMB not to finalize two proposed rules.

LeadingAge is also submitting longer lists of subregulatory change requests to federal agencies to streamline and better facilitate aging services’ compliance with statutory requirements and to improve the program experience overall.

If you are interested in sharing your ideas for streamlining with us, participation in LeadingAge’s Member Networks is a great way to share your ideas for streamlining with us.
