Dear ART Program Staff:
This letter contains important information regarding required 2016 ART data reporting to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) in compliance with the Fertility Clinic Success Rates and Certification Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C.
263a-1). Please share this with everyone in your program who is involved in the process. The deadline for reporting
data to the CDC on ART cycles started in 2016 is Friday, December 15, 2017.
The above deadline is for online submission of 2016 ART data through the updated National ART Surveillance System
(NASS 2.0) at http://artreporting.org and includes reporting of all ART cycles that did not proceed to oocyte retrieval or
transfer for any reason, as well as all ART cycles proceeding to retrieval and transfer. All SART-member clinics must
complete CDC submission requirements through NASS 2.0 in addition to any SART reporting requirements.
ART clinics in operation at any time during 2016 that fail to submit required 2016 data to CDC through NASS 2.0 by
December 15, 2017, will be listed as nonreporters in CDC’s 2016 ART Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report. In addition,
each nonreporter will have an individual page with the clinic’s name but no ART data included as part of the fertility
clinic table section of the report.
Your ART clinic needs an account to access the NASS 2.0 website and submit data to CDC. Medical Directors will
verify clinic table data via electronic signature when completing their NASS 2.0 online submission. To log in to NASS
2.0 for the first time, the Medical Director of your ART program must create a NASS 2.0 user account by providing their
unique email address to the NASS Help Desk. Please contact the NASS Help Desk at 1-888-650-0822 or by e-mail at
[email protected] to initialize your clinic in NASS 2.0, or if you need additional assistance. If there have been any
changes in your clinic’s operation, location, or key staff, please notify the NASS Help Desk. As a reminder, clinics
should not mail in signed hardcopies of the clinic tables or edit reports.
For more information about the NASS 2.0 submission process for 2016 data, refer to the submission guide posted in the
Definitions & Manuals menu item on the NASS 2.0 website (http://artreporting.org). To access the submission page, log
into NASS 2.0, select the 2016 reporting year in the Submit or View Annual Data section on the Main Page, and select the
Go button.
Thank you for your prompt and continued reporting of ART data to CDC. If you believe you have received this notice in
error, please call the NASS Help Desk at 1-888-650-0822.
Sincerely,
