This data element was originally optional and not well populated. Because the field was not previously required, submitters that did provide the data typically submitted the data without transformation to a standard.

Submitters are required to submit these data as of 6/30/2022. Many submitters do not have these data yet but will submit when available. These data are to be submitted using the code set in the referenced appendix.
