چکیده
REPORTING REQUIREMENT When hospitals enter into Medicare provider agreements with HCFA, they make certain com mitments required by statute. The new regulations now add to this list a requirement to report to HCFA, or the state licensing authority, any time a hospital has "reason to believe it may have received an individual who has been transferred in an unstable emergency medical condition from another hospital in violation of [F.MTALA]." The penalty for failure to report is the same as the penalty facing the transferring hospital—termination from the Medicare program. Unlike the other provisions discussed here, the reporting requirements require approval from the Office and Management and Budget.

متن کاملThe Aggregate Impact of Antidumping Policies
———————————————————————————————————— Multilateral trade agreements, such as the GATT/WTO, have severely restricted the ability of countries to raise tariffs on imports. One of the few tools still available to policy makers under the WTO rules is antidumping law — and antidumping investigations have become a major impediment to free trade.
