WITHDRAWAL OF

PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

OFFICE OF

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

[Filed March 15, 2016, 2:28 p.m.]

On February 2, 2016, the office of financial management (OFM) filed a preproposal statement of inquiry (WSR 16-04-100). This CR-101 was filed to give notice that OFM was beginning the rule-making process for rules related to the Washington state all-payer health care claims database. Specifically, this rule-making process would address:

•	The procedures for ensuring that all data received from data suppliers are securely collected and stored in compliance with state and federal law.
•	The procedures for ensuring compliance with state and federal privacy laws.

OFM is cancelling this rule making and withdrawing the CR-101. These rules will be rolled into a separate rule-making process that will also include additional rules needed to implement the all-payer claims database (APCD).

If you have any questions about this withdrawal or subsequent rule making, please feel free to contact the project team by e-mail apcd@ofm.wa.gov, or sign up on the APCD listserv at http://listserv.wa.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A0=APCD.
