representatives of transplant candidates, 

transplant recipients, organ donors, and 

family members. 

ACOT will hear presentations on 

paired exchanges; the activities of the 

Scientific Registry of Transplant 

Recipients; a transplantation costbenefit study; transplant tourism; endof-life care and donation after cardiac 

death (DCD) recovery; and a kidney

Notice of Availability of Draft Policy 

Document for Comment 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), HHS. 

ACTION: This is a Notice of Availability 

and request for comments on a draft 

Agency Guidance (‘‘Policy Information 

Notice’’ (PIN)) to clarify the scope of 

Federal Torts Claims Act (FTCA) 

coverage for FTCA-deemed Health 

Center Program grantees during an 

emergency. The PIN, ‘‘Federal Tort 

Claims Act Coverage for Health Center 

Program Grantees Responding to 

Emergencies’’ (‘‘FTCA PIN’’) is available 

on the Internet at http://bphc.hrsa.gov. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

May 31, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Please send your comments 

to the following e-mail address: 

DPDgeneral@hrsa.gov. 

SUMMARY: HRSA believes that 

community input is valuable to the 

development of policies and policy 

documents related to the 

implementation of primary health care 

programs, including the Health Center 

Program. Therefore, we are requesting 

comments on the PIN referenced above. 

After review and consideration of all 

comments received, the PIN may be 

amended to incorporate certain 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 65 / Thursday, April 5, 2007 / Notices 16799 

recommendations from the public. Once 

the PIN is finalized, it will be made 

available on HRSA’s Web site, along 

with the Agency’s ‘‘Response to Public 

Comments.’’ That document will 

summarize the major comments 

received and describe the Agency’s 

response, including any corresponding 

changes made to the PIN. Where 

comments do not result in a revision to 

the PIN, explanations will be provided. 

Background 

HRSA administers the Health Center 

Program, which supports more than 

3,800 health care delivery sites, 

including community health centers, 

migrant health centers, health care for 

the homeless centers, and public 

housing primary care centers. Health 

centers serve clients that are primarily 

low-income and minorities, and deliver 

preventive and primary care services to 

patients regardless of their ability to 

pay. Charges for health care services are 

set according to income. 

FTCA medical malpractice coverage 

for Health Center Program grantees was 

initially legislated through the Federally 

Supported Health Centers Assistance 

Act (FSHCAA) of 1992. The FSHCAA of 

1995 clarified the 1992 Act and 

eliminated its sunset provision, making 

the program permanent. FSCHAA 

authorizes Health Center Program 

grantees (and their officers, directors, 

employees, and certain contractors) to 

be deemed as Federal employees for the 

purpose of medical malpractice 

protection. As Federal employees, these 

organizations and individuals are 

immune from medical malpractice suits 

for actions within the scope of their 

project and employment. In the event 

that a medical malpractice lawsuit is 

filed against a deemed entity or covered 

physician acting within the scope of 

his/her employment in grant-related 

activities, the United States is 

substituted for the deemed entity and 

the covered employee. 

HRSA recognizes that, during an 

emergency, FTCA-deemed health 

centers are likely to participate in 

medical response efforts. HRSA has 

received numerous requests for 

clarification regarding the scope of 

FTCA coverage during emergencies. The 

purpose of the FTCA PIN is to respond 

to these requests for clarification and to 

address frequently asked FTCA 

questions.
