Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300ff-20
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute gives very specific instructions on how the funds should be appropriated and reserved. It tells the Secretary to give certain amounts for grants under subpart I and section 300ff-19, meaning it clearly instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task or gap.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

42 U.S.C. § 300ff-20 authorizes appropriations and directs the Secretary regarding the allocation and transfer of these funds for specific grant programs related to HIV/AIDS care (Ryan White Program). 45 CFR Part 146 outlines requirements for group health insurance markets and does not specifically address the allocation of funds authorized under this statute. While both pertain to healthcare, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific content of the regulation. The statute provides the funds, and the regulation governs health insurance markets.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300x-51
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute instructs the states (an entity receiving federal funds) on how to implement a specific procedural requirement (opportunity for public comment) related to their state plans. While the statute does not directly delegate authority to a federal agency to promulgate rules, it does impose a condition on states receiving funds that has to be structured in a way that would facilitate public comment, giving the HHS secretary oversight in some capacity. Although the requirement is placed on the state, this falls under specific authority delegation because it instructs entities receiving funds on a specific task.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute (42 U.S.C. § 300x-51) mandates that states provide opportunities for public comment on state plans related to grants for substance abuse prevention and treatment. The regulation (45 CFR Part 146) deals with requirements for group health insurance, and the statutory authority cited in the regulation (42 U.S.C. 300gg-1 through 300gg-5, 300gg-11 through 300gg-23, 300gg-91, and 300gg-92) is different from the statute in question. Therefore, while both involve public health and are within the same title of the U.S. Code, they aren’t directly mandated or explicitly authorized. They are related in subject matter (public health).

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300ee-14
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

42 U.S.C. § 300ee-14 directly instructs the Secretary regarding restrictions on grant usage, which is a specific regulatory task. While the term “may not” grants some discretion, it clearly identifies the prohibited uses of funds. This falls under Specific Authority delegation according to Hickman’s framework.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While 42 U.S.C. § 300ee-14 concerns grants and restrictions on their use, and 45 CFR Part 146 concerns health insurance market regulations, both fall under the broader umbrella of public health and healthcare. However, the statute doesn’t directly mandate the regulation, nor does it explicitly authorize it. 45 CFR 146’s authority section does not explicitly cite section 300ee-14.

The statute gives the Secretary the ability to carry out and expand research in newborn screenings. The statute gives details on how this is to be done. The statute identifies specific regulatory tasks related to research, screening technologies, and data usage.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute authorizes research related to newborn screening and the regulation concerns group health insurance market requirements. While both generally relate to healthcare, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulations regarding group health insurance.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300ff-81
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides specific instructions to the Secretary regarding the coordination of HIV programs and the integration of services at the state and local levels. This includes requirements for consulting with other agencies, preparing reports, and obtaining assurances from recipients of funds. While the statute uses terms like “ensure” and “coordinate”, these are in the context of a clearly defined regulatory task, placing it within the bounds of specific authority delegation according to Hickman.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to ensure coordination and integration of HIV programs and to require assurances from states and local entities as a condition of receiving funds. While it directs the Secretary to take certain actions (ensure coordination, prepare a report), the specific methods for achieving the coordination and integration are not directly mandated. Thus, it is authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300ff-38
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides fairly specific direction to the Secretary regarding grant making, including conditions that state programs must meet to be eligible (e.g., partner notification programs, reporting requirements). It directs the agency (through the Secretary and CDC Director) to implement a national program of partner notification, demonstrating congressional intent for the agency to take specific actions, even if those actions require some agency discretion to implement.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While the statute concerns public health and grants, and the regulation concerns health insurance, they are related through the broader context of healthcare. The statute authorizes grants for partner notification programs related to HIV/AIDS, and the regulation concerns health insurance market rules, which could indirectly impact access to testing and treatment for HIV/AIDS. However, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulations in 45 CFR Part 146.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300gg-19a
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides specific regulatory tasks by defining patient protections, for example, outlining requirements for emergency service coverage, access to pediatric and ob/gyn care. Although the language doesn’t include overtly directive terms, the statute aims to close a well-defined regulatory gap with explicit direction.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (42 U.S.C. § 300gg-19a) outlines specific patient protections related to health plans and insurance issuers. While it doesn’t explicitly mandate that the agency create regulations to implement every detail, it authorizes the agency to create rules necessary to ensure these protections are provided. The CFR explicitly cites 42 U.S.C. 300gg-1 through 300gg-5, 300gg-11 through 300gg-23, 300gg-91, and 300gg-92 as authority, encompassing the statute in question.

The statute authorizes appropriations “for the purpose of carrying out this part,” providing funds for the agency to act but lacking specific instructions on how that part should be implemented through regulation. It lacks specific direction on which regulations to make or particular gaps to fill.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute authorizes appropriations “for the purpose of carrying out this part.” The regulation, 45 CFR Part 146, concerns requirements for group health insurance. The statute’s “this part” and the regulation are likely related, as they both address health insurance matters, however, the statute does not explicitly mandate or authorize the specific regulations contained in 45 CFR Part 146. The regulation’s authority section does not include 42 U.S.C. 300d-45, although it does list related sections. Thus, the relationship is related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized.

Subsection (h)(4) of the statute grants the Secretary the authority to revise the definition of “traumatic brain injury” after consultation. This constitutes a specific regulatory task. The statute also describes in detail the activities that the “Program shall include”, further specifying the tasks.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute focuses on establishing a research program for trauma and traumatic brain injury, whereas the regulation concerns group health insurance market requirements. While both relate to healthcare, the statute does not directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulations in 45 CFR Part 146, but it is reasonable to argue they are related.

Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute doesn’t explicitly order HHS to create regulations, it lays out detailed requirements for states and the treatment programs they fund, including notification requirements and timelines for treatment. This suggests a specific regulatory task related to overseeing the implementation of these funding agreement conditions, which can be construed as a specific authority delegation.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute pertains to requirements related to funding agreements concerning treatment programs for intravenous substance use disorders, while the regulation covers requirements for the group health insurance market. Although both address aspects of healthcare, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulations outlined in 45 CFR Part 146. The statute focuses on the obligations states must impose on treatment programs that receive grant money. The regulation addresses health insurance market requirements.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300hh-1
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute gives the Secretary broad authority to prepare a National Health Security Strategy and an accompanying implementation plan. It identifies specific goals that the strategy should include, but provides flexibility to the Secretary in determining how best to achieve those goals. This is considered a general authority delegation as it grants broad rulemaking authority without specifying detailed regulatory tasks beyond the overall strategic goals.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute addresses national health security strategy and preparedness, while the regulation focuses on requirements for the group health insurance market. While both relate to healthcare, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulations concerning group health insurance. They are related in the sense that both broadly concern health, but the statute’s goals are much broader than the specific insurance market regulations.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300d-43
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute delegates the specific authority to the Secretary to require certain actions from trauma centers receiving grants. Subsection (a) specifically permits the Secretary to require maintenance of financial support, and subsection (b) empowers the Secretary to require data provision to a trauma registry. Although the phrase “as the Secretary may otherwise require” in subsection (b) adds some breadth, the core delegation is tied to the specific task of ensuring grant recipients meet certain conditions regarding trauma care access and data reporting.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute (42 U.S.C. § 300d-43) and the regulation (45 CFR Part 146) are related because both deal with healthcare. The statute concerns grants to trauma centers and conditions attached to those grants, specifically related to maintaining access to trauma services and providing data to a trauma registry. The regulation addresses requirements for the group health insurance market. While the statute doesn’t directly mandate the specific regulations in 45 CFR Part 146, nor explicitly authorize them, they both fall under the umbrella of healthcare and are related to ensuring healthcare services are available and accessible. The grant requirements could indirectly affect the availability of trauma services covered by group health insurance, therefore there is a relationship but neither direct mandate nor explicit authorization.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300mm-4
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the WTC Program Administrator to enter into contracts with Clinical Centers of Excellence and Data Centers for specific regulatory tasks related to the WTC Health Program, such as monitoring, treatment, data collection, protocol development, and credentialing. This falls under Specific Authority delegation because it directly instructs the agency on regulatory tasks. In particular, section (b)(1)(B)(x) instructs the centers to “meet all the other applicable requirements of this subchapter, including regulations implementing such requirements.”

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

42 U.S.C. § 300mm-4 concerns the establishment and operation of Clinical Centers of Excellence and Data Centers for the WTC Health Program. While this program relates to health insurance, 45 CFR Part 146 regulates the broader “group health insurance market” and its provisions regarding access, renewability, benefits, preemption, and enforcement. Although both concern health insurance, the statute does not directly mandate or explicitly authorize this specific regulation.

The statute provides specific direction to the Secretary regarding the type of information to be collected (financial information) and the purpose for which it should be used (demonstrating fiscally sound operation, reporting transactions with parties in interest). While the Secretary has discretion in determining the exact information required, the statute limits that discretion and provides specific objectives, falling under the ‘Specific Authority’ delegation category.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states “Each health maintenance organization shall, in accordance with regulations of the Secretary, report to the Secretary financial information…” This directly mandates rulemaking by the Secretary.

Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300bb-2
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute is specific in its stipulations, it does not give granular instructions regarding how to implement those stipulations in group health plans. The statute provides for rulemaking authority, as agencies are free to interpret how the statutory requirements are to be met in practice. The statute gives the agency the broad authority to make regulations regarding group health plans.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

42 U.S.C. § 300bb-2 defines “continuation coverage,” setting forth requirements that group health plans must meet. While the statute lays out specific requirements, it does not explicitly mandate the Department of Health and Human Services (or any other agency) to issue regulations interpreting or implementing all aspects of this definition. However, 45 CFR Part 146, which includes regulations related to health insurance market requirements, is authorized by related sections of the U.S. Code (300gg-1 through 300gg-5, 300gg-11 through 300gg-23, 300gg-91, and 300gg-92). While none of these citations are a direct citation to 300bb-2, these authorities address similar subject matter, suggesting regulatory authority to clarify and expand upon the statutory requirements for group health plans.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300x-62
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services

Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The regulation’s authority citation lists sections 300gg-1 through 300gg-5, 300gg-11 through 300gg-23, 300gg-91, and 300gg-92 of Title 42. Without analyzing the specific content of those sections of the U.S. Code, it can be stated that providing a list of multiple sections grants broad rulemaking authority without specifically identifying a precise regulatory task or gap.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While both the statute and the regulation deal with healthcare, the statute concerns the availability of grant payments to states, while the regulation establishes requirements for the group health insurance market. The statute does not directly mandate or explicitly authorize the creation of regulations concerning health insurance market requirements. However, the statute provides funds that may ultimately be used to achieve the goals and objectives specified in the regulation.

Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute provides the Secretary with broad discretion to determine what is “necessary to carry out this part,” it also explicitly directs the agency on the specific regulatory task: defining the application process for grants. The use of the term “necessary” falls under the open-ended terms described in the ‘Specific Authority Delegations’ category.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to determine the form, manner, agreements, assurances, and information necessary for grant applications. The statute mandates that the Secretary may not make a grant unless certain conditions are met (related to application submission). The regulation concerns requirements for the group health insurance market, which is within the general scope of the grants contemplated by the statute. The statute authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the details of the application process, but doesn’t mandate the specific regulations as provided in CFR 45 Part 146.

The statute directs the Secretary to perform a very specific task: to submit a report to designated congressional committees on specific topics (newborn screening and screening for heritable disorders, activities under specific sections of the US Code, and associated expenditures) and with a prescribed frequency. This is a targeted instruction, fitting the description of a Specific Authority Delegation. The “shall” indicates that this task is required.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute mandates a report by the Secretary of HHS on newborn and child screening activities and related expenditures. While 45 CFR Part 146 concerns health insurance market regulations, including aspects of benefits, access, and renewability, there’s no direct mandate or explicit authorization for these regulations arising from the specific reporting requirement of 42 U.S. Code § 300b-17. The regulation and statute are related through healthcare concerns, but there is no mandate or direct authorization.

The statute specifically directs the Director of the National Institutes of Health to make grants and enter into contracts for planning and conducting clinical trials of experimental treatments for AIDS. It outlines specific requirements for the projects, including medical supervision, data collection, and training. Subsection (d)(3) uses broad rulemaking authority using open-ended terms like “necessary to carry out this section.”

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While the statute concerns healthcare, as does the regulation, the statute focuses on grant-making for AIDS research, while the regulation concerns requirements for group health insurance markets. Thus, they are related in subject matter, but the statute neither directly mandates nor explicitly authorizes the regulation.

Regulation: 45 CFR Part 146
Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300u-16
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute explicitly instructs the Secretary of HHS to establish and maintain a specific type of information dashboard with enumerated components related to substance use disorders. The statute uses the term “shall” and lays out specifically what information should be included in the dashboard. The use of terms like “as appropriate” and “to the extent practicable” still fall under specific authority because the statute still guides agency action in a way that delineates a gap in information sharing and instructs agency discretion.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

42 U.S.C. § 300u-16 mandates the Secretary of HHS to establish a substance use disorder information dashboard. 45 CFR Part 146 pertains to requirements for group health insurance markets. While both concern health and HHS, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or authorize the regulation, nor vice versa. They are related in subject matter, but not directly linked.

While 42 U.S.C. § 300cc-45 doesn’t delegate rulemaking authority regarding health insurance, it does specifically instruct the Secretary to provide administrative support, conduct evaluations, and make recommendations. While the evaluation and recommendation aspects involve some discretion, they are tied to a specific task (evaluating AIDS research programs) and use terms like “determine” and “evaluate”, suggesting a specific goal. The administrative support provision instructs the Secretary on the specific task of providing administrative support. Thus, it qualifies as specific authority delegation.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

42 U.S.C. § 300cc-45 concerns the administrative support and evaluation of the Office of AIDS Research. 45 CFR Part 146 relates to requirements for group health insurance. While both relate to health, the statute does not directly mandate or explicitly authorize the regulation. The regulation concerns health insurance markets and the statute addresses administrative functions within AIDS research, making them related but not directly linked through mandate or authorization.

Authorizing Statute: 42 U.S. Code § 300jj-12
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Restrictions: 321
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute does not directly delegate regulatory power, it specifically tasks the HIT Advisory Committee with recommending standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria related to health IT infrastructure. It even prioritizes certain target areas. This level of specificity, even with the use of terms like “appropriate,” “reasonable,” or “necessary” within the target areas, suggests a Specific Authority Delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute establishes the HIT Advisory Committee to recommend policies and standards. While the statute provides considerable detail on the Committee’s structure, duties, and priority areas, it doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations. Instead, it authorizes the Committee to make recommendations that could inform future rulemaking under Section 300jj-14, but adoption isn’t automatic. 45 CFR Part 146’s authority section cites to sections that pertain to health insurance market requirements and is general in nature as it doesn’t cite 300jj-12 specifically.

The statute specifically instructs the Secretary to establish the commission, defines its composition, sets term lengths, meeting schedules, compensation and staff requirements. The “functions” subsection also outlines specific advisory tasks, such as recommending changes to the Vaccine Injury Table. These are specific regulatory tasks instructed by the statute.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

42 U.S.C. § 300aa-19 establishes an advisory commission on childhood vaccines. While the commission’s functions include advising the Secretary on the implementation of the program and related responsibilities, and 45 CFR Part 146 relates to group health insurance market requirements, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulations in 45 CFR Part 146. The relationship exists because childhood vaccines are often covered by health insurance.

42 U.S.C. § 300jj-34(g)(3) specifically states “The National Coordinator shall publish guidance and promulgate regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, including provisions to ensure that each eligible entity commits and expends funds allotted to the entity under this section as efficiently as possible… and guidance to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.” This clearly instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized

The statute and regulation are related in that they both pertain to health care. However, the statute concerns grants for EHR technology adoption, while the regulation covers group health insurance market requirements. The statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific regulation provided.

The statute specifically instructs the Secretary regarding the provision of supplies, equipment, and services to grantees, outlining the conditions under which such provisions can be made and the corresponding limitations regarding grant payments. This is a specific regulatory task, even with terms that require some agency discretion (“fair market value”).

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute concerns the provision of supplies and services by the Secretary in lieu of grant funds for early intervention services. While the regulation addresses requirements for the group health insurance market, which could indirectly impact the provision of those services, the statute does not directly mandate nor explicitly authorize the regulation. The statute is related in that both concern health and healthcare, but they address different aspects.
