Partial Withdrawal of Technical 
Amendments Related to: Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Fuel and Quality Assurance Plan Provisions 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Partial withdrawal of direct 
final rule. 
SUMMARY : Because EPA received 
adverse comment on certain elements of the Tier 3 Amendments direct final rule published on February 19, 2015, we are withdrawing those elements of the direct final rule. EPA intends to consider the comments received and proceed with a new final rule for the withdrawn elements. The remaining elements will go into effect pursuant to the direct final rule. 
DATES : Effective May 5, 2015, EPA 
withdraws the amendments to 40 CFR 80.1453, 80.1616, and 80.1621 published at 80 FR 9078 on February 19, 2015.

MacAllister, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Assessment and Standards Division, 2000 Traverwood Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105; telephone number: 734–214–4131; email address: MacAllister.Julia@epa.gov. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : We stated 
in the Tier 3 Technical Amendments direct final rule published on February 19, 2015 (80 FR 9078) that if we 
received adverse comment by April 6, 2015, as to any part of the direct final rule, those parts would be withdrawn by publishing a timely notice in the Federal Register. Because EPA received adverse comment, we are withdrawing the amendments that were the subject of these adverse comments and they will not take effect. Three specific provisions are being withdrawn, as described below. 
First, 40 CFR 80.1453: In the 
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Quality Assurance Program (QAP) Rule (79 FR 42078, July 18, 2014), EPA added additional product transfer document (PTD) requirements for renewable fuels that informed parties that took ownership of the renewable fuel that they would need to (a) use the fuel as it was intended, i.e., for transportation 
use; and, (b) incur a renewable volume obligation (RVO) if the fuel was exported. Shortly after publication of the QAP final rule, we received questions on whether these PTD requirements would apply downstream to the end users, including residential heating oil owners and people filling up their fuel tanks at fuel retail stations. EPA provides downstream end user exemptions to the PTD requirements in other fuels programs, and the direct final rule included similar exemptions for RFS PTD requirements. The words ‘‘or custody’’ were inadvertently added to the RFS PTD requirements and we 
received several comments pointing out that applying the PTD requirements to the transfer of custody of renewable fuels would be costly to industry and not beneficial to the RFS program. In this action we are withdrawing all of the changes to 40 CFR 80.1453. 
Second, 40 CFR 80.1616: The direct 
final rule included some clarifying language for when credits expire and are reported. We received a comment advocating for small refiners and small volume refineries to be allowed to use credits past January 1, 2020—to 
effectively receive a small refiner- and small volume refinery-specific period of lead time before these parties must comply with the Tier 3 sulfur standards. Although it is not clear whether this comment is germane to the provisions of the direct final rule, in light of the short time frame for withdrawal of the direct final rule, we have decided to treat this as an adverse comment on the amended rulemaking provisions and we therefore are withdrawing the proposed changes to 40 CFR 80.1616. 
Third, 40 CFR 80.1621: Following 
publication of the Tier 3 Final Rule (79 FR 23414, April 28, 2014) we were contacted by some refiners to clarify if/ 
when small volume refineries could be 
disqualified, because there was language inadvertently deleted from the regulatory text as part of the Tier 3 final rule. In re-inserting this text in the direct final rule, we clarified that small volume refinery disqualification was akin to small refiner disqualification. We received adverse comment raising the issue that the new wording is confusing because it does not explicitly state exactly when and under which 
circumstances that disqualification could occur, and also that the term ‘‘small refinery’’ was used instead of the correct term ‘‘small volume refinery’’. In this action we are withdrawing all changes to 40 CFR 80.1621. 
EPA published a parallel proposed 
rule on the same day as the direct final rule. The proposed rule invited comment on the substance of the direct final rule. EPA intends to consider the comments received and proceed with a new final rule. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA does not plan to institute a second comment period for the proposed action with respect to the provisions that are withdrawn by this notice. 
The amendments for which we did 
not receive adverse comment are not being withdrawn and will become

Organ Procurement and 
Transplantation: Implementation of the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act 
AGENCY : Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : This final rule amends the 
regulations implementing the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, as amended, (NOTA) pursuant to statutory requirements of the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act (HOPE Act), enacted in 2013. In accordance with the mandates of the HOPE Act, this regulation removes the current regulatory provision that requires the Organ Procurement Transplantation Network (OPTN) to adopt and use standards for preventing the acquisition of organs from individuals known to be infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 
In its place, this regulation includes 
new requirements that organs from individuals infected with HIV may be transplanted only into individuals who are infected with HIV before receiving such organs and who are participating in clinical research approved by an institutional review board, as provided by regulation. The only exception to this requirement of participation in such clinical research is if the Secretary publishes a determination in the future that participation in such clinical research, as a requirement for transplants of organs from individuals infected with HIV, is no longer warranted. 
In addition, this regulatory change 
establishes that OPTN standards must ensure that any HIV-infected transplant recipients are participating in clinical research in accordance with the research criteria to be published by the Secretary. Alternately, if and when the Secretary determines that participation in such clinical research should no longer be a requirement for transplants with organs from donors infected with HIV to individuals infected with HIV, the regulation mandates that the OPTN adopt and use standards of quality, as directed by the Secretary, consistent with the law and in a way that ensures the changes will not reduce the safety of organ transplantation. 
DATES : This final rule is effective June 
8, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
The U.S. Department of Health and 
Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA), Healthcare Systems Bureau (HSB), Division of Transplantation (DoT) is responsible for overseeing the operation of the nation’s Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which has responsibilities including the equitable allocation of donor organs for transplantation. The allocation of organs is guided by organ allocation policies developed by the OPTN in accordance with the regulations governing the operation of the OPTN (sometimes 
referred to as the ‘‘OPTN final rule’’ and herein referred to as ‘‘OPTN regulations’’) (42 CFR part 121). The OPTN is also charged with developing policies on many subjects, including standards of quality pertaining to organs procured for use in transplantation. In addition to the efficient and effective allocation of donor organs through the OPTN, the Secretary also supports efforts to increase the supply of donor organs made available through transplantation. 
II. Summary of the HOPE Act 
Prior to the enactment of the HOPE 
Act, Public Law 113–51 (November 21, 
2013), NOTA required the OPTN to adopt and use standards of quality for preventing the acquisition of organs from individuals known to be infected with HIV. This requirement was further incorporated into regulation at 42 CFR 121.6(b). Thus, OPTN members were prohibited from transplanting organs from individuals known to be infected with HIV into patients (including patients infected with HIV). 
The HOPE Act made an important 
change with respect to the transplantation of organs from individuals infected with HIV. Pursuant to the HOPE Act, organs from individuals infected with HIV may be transplanted so long as two sets of requirements are satisfied. First, organs from individuals infected with HIV may be transplanted only into individuals who were infected with HIV prior to receiving such an organ. 
Second, transplants from individuals 
infected with HIV are subject to one of two oversight frameworks. Specifically, under the initial framework envisioned by the HOPE Act, all recipients of organs from individuals infected with HIV must be participating in clinical research approved by an institutional review board under research criteria to 
be published by the Secretary as described in the HOPE Act and the standards of quality implemented by the OPTN pursuant to the HOPE Act. Based on this change, all transplant centers conducting such clinical research will be required to comply with research criteria published by the Secretary under subsection (a) of section 377E of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. Alternately, if the Secretary determines that participation in such clinical research is no longer warranted as a requirement for transplants of organs from individuals infected with HIV, the Secretary will publish such a determination. The Secretary must then, consistent with the HOPE Act, direct the OPTN to revise its standards, consistent
