Abstract: The Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Program Reporting System has been designed to comply with the requirements of Section 2(a) of Pub. L. 102-493 (known as the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992 (FCSRCA), 42 U.S.C. 263a-1(a). This Act requires that each ART program shall annually report to the Secretary through CDC - (1) pregnancy success rates achieved by such ART program, and (2) the identify of each embryo laboratory used by such ART program whether the laboratory is certified or has applied for such certification under this Act. CDC currently collects and reports information from all clinics that offer assisted reproductive technology (ART) services, as required by the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act (FCSRCA). CDC seeks to renew OMB approval for an additional three years.
