Guidelines for Public Access 

Defibrillation Programs in Federal 

Facilities 

AGENCY: Department of Health and 

Human Services and General Services 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On May 23, 2001, the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) and the General Services 

Administration (GSA) jointly issued 

‘‘Guidelines for Public Access 

Defibrillation Programs in Federal 

Facilities.’’ 66 FR 28495–28501. These 

guidelines were prepared, in part, in 

response to a May 19, 2000, Presidential 

Memorandum directing HHS and GSA 

to issue guidelines for the placement of 

automated external defibrillator (AED) 

devices in Federal buildings. In 

addition, section 7 of the Healthcare 

Research and Quality Act of 1999, 

Public Law 106–129 (December 6, 

1999), 42 U.S.C. 241 note, and section 

247 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 

U.S.C. 238p (as added by section 403 of 

the Public Health Improvement Act, 

Pub. L. 106–505 (November 13, 2000)), 

directed the Secretary of HHS to 

establish and publish the guidelines. 

This bulletin cancels and replaces the 

May 23, 2001, notice and provides 

updated information for establishing 

public access defibrillation (PAD) 

programs in Federal facilities. 

The revised guidelines provide a 

general framework for initiating a design 

process for PAD programs in Federal 

facilities and provide basic information 

to familiarize facilities leadership with 

the essential elements of a PAD 

program. The guidelines do not 

exhaustively address or cover all aspects 

of AED or PAD programs. They are 

aimed at outlining the key elements of 

a PAD program so that facility-specific, 

detailed plans and programs can be 

developed in an informed manner. 

PAD programs are voluntary and are 

not mandatory for Federal facilities. The 

costs and expenses to establish and 

operate a PAD program are the 

responsibility of the agency sponsoring 

the program and not GSA or HHS. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 14, 2009.
