(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United 

States Code, as amended by the

L. 104–13), the Health Resources and 

Services Administration (HRSA)

submission to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. To request more

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c)

Proposed Project: The Smallpox 

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program 

(OMB No. 0915–0282)—Extension 

The Smallpox Emergency Personnel 

Protection Act (SEPPA) authorized the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

to establish the Smallpox Vaccine Injury 

Compensation Program, which provides 

benefits and/or compensation to certain 

persons harmed as a direct result of 

receiving smallpox covered 

countermeasures, including the 

smallpox vaccine, or as a direct result of 

contracting vaccinia through certain 

accidental exposures. 

The benefits available under the 

Program include compensation for 

unreimbursed medical care and lost 

employment income, and survivor death 

benefits. To be considered for Program 

benefits, requesters (i.e., smallpox 

vaccine recipients, vaccinia contacts, 

survivors, or the representatives of the 

estates of deceased smallpox vaccine 

recipients or vaccinia contacts), or 

persons filing on their behalf as their 

representatives, must file a Request 

Form and the documentation required 

to show that they are eligible for 

Program benefits. This documentation 

will vary somewhat depending on 

whether the requester is filing as a 

smallpox vaccine recipient, a vaccinia 

contact, a survivor, or a representative 

of an estate. 

All requesters must submit medical 

records sufficient to demonstrate that a 

covered injury was sustained by a 

smallpox vaccine recipient or a vaccinia 

contact. 

The estimated annual burden is as
