NACNEP charter and a list of the 

current membership may be obtained by 

accessing the NACNEP website at 

https://www.hrsa.gov/advisorycommittees/nursing. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACNEP 

advises and makes recommendations to 

the Secretary and Congress on policy 

matters arising in the administration of 

Title VIII of the PHS Act, including the 

range of issues relating to the nurse 

workforce, nursing education, and 

nursing practice improvement, as a 

means of enhancing the health of the 

public through the development of the 

nurse workforce. NACNEP meets at least 

twice each calendar year or may meet 

more frequently at the discretion of the 

Designated Federal Officer in 

consultation with the Chair. 

Nominations: HRSA is requesting 

nominations for voting members to 

serve as Special Government Employees 

(SGE) on NACNEP to fill open positions. 

The Secretary appoints NACNEP 

members with the expertise needed to 

fulfill the duties of the Advisory 

Council. The membership requirements 

are set forth at section 851(b) of Title 

VIII of the PHS Act, as amended. 

Nominees sought are individuals 

representing leading authorities in the 

various fields of nursing, higher and 

secondary education, and associate 

degree schools of nursing; 

representatives of advanced education 

nursing groups (such as nurse 

practitioners, nurse midwives, clinical 

nurse specialists, and nurse 

anesthetists); hospitals and other 

institutions and organizations which 

provide nursing services; practicing 

professional nurses; the general public; 

and full-time students enrolled in 

schools of nursing. In making such 

appointments, the Secretary shall 

ensure a fair balance between the 

nursing specialties, a broad geographic 

representation of members, and a 

balance between urban and rural 

members. Members shall be appointed 

based on their competence, interest, and 

knowledge of the mission of the 

profession involved. As required by 

PHS Act section 851(b)(3), the Secretary 

shall ensure the adequate representation 

of minorities. HRSA is particularly 

interested in seeking nominations from 

individuals who can represent 

underrepresented groups in the nursing 

profession. 

The majority of NACNEP members 

shall be nurses. Interested applicants 

may self-nominate or be nominated by 

another individual or organization. 

Individuals selected for appointment 

to NACNEP will be invited to serve a 

term of 4 years. Members appointed as 

SGEs receive a stipend and 

reimbursement for per diem and travel 

expenses incurred for attending 

NACNEP meetings and/or conducting 

other business on behalf of NACNEP, as 

authorized by section 5 U.S.C. 5703 for 

persons employed intermittently in 

government service and PHS Act section 

762(g). 

The following information must be 

included in the package of materials 

submitted for each individual 

nominated for consideration: (1) if 

nominated by another individual or 

organization, a letter of nomination from 

the nominator stating the basis for the 

nomination (i.e., what specific 

attributes, perspectives, and/or skills 

does the individual possess that would 

benefit the workings of NACNEP, and 

the nominee’s field(s) of expertise), as 

well as the nominator’s name, 

affiliation, and contact information 

(address, daytime telephone number, 

and email address); (2) letter of interest 

from the applicant stating the reasons 

the applicant would like to serve on 

NACNEP; (3) a biographical sketch of 

the applicant, including the applicant’s 

curriculum vitae and contact 

information (address, daytime telephone 

number, and email address). 

Nomination packages may be submitted 

directly by the applicant or by the 

person/organization nominating the 

candidate. 

HHS endeavors to ensure that the 

membership of NACNEP is balanced 

fairly in terms of points of view 

represented. Appointments shall be 

made without discrimination of age, 

race, ethnicity, gender, sexual 

orientation, or cultural, religious, or 

socioeconomic status. 

Individuals who are selected to be 

considered for appointment will be 

required to provide detailed information 

regarding their financial holdings, 

consultancies, and research grants or 

contracts. Disclosure of this information 

is required for HRSA ethics officials to 

determine whether there is a potential 

conflict of interest between the SGE’s 

public duties as a member of NACNEP 

and their private interests, including an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality as 

defined by federal laws and regulations, 

and to identify any required remedial 

action needed to address the potential 

conflict. 

Authority: NACNEP is authorized by 

section 851 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 

297t), as amended. NACNEP is governed 

by provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C. 

Chapter 10).

Program (the Program), as required by 

the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as

with responsibility for considering and 

acting upon the petitions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Program provides a system of no-fault 

compensation for certain individuals 

who have been injured by specified 

childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title 

XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa– 

10 et seq., provides that those seeking 

compensation are to file a petition with 

the United States Court of Federal 

Claims and to serve a copy of the 

petition to the Secretary of HHS, who is 

named as the respondent in each 

proceeding. The Secretary has delegated 

this responsibility under the Program to 

HRSA. The Court is directed by statute 

to appoint special masters who take 

evidence, conduct hearings as 

appropriate, and make initial decisions

4962 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 17 / Thursday, January 25, 2024 / Notices 

as to eligibility for, and amount of, 

compensation. 

A petition may be filed with respect 

to injuries, disabilities, illnesses, 

conditions, and deaths resulting from 

vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury 

Table (the Table) set forth at 42 CFR 

100.3. This Table lists for each covered 

childhood vaccine the conditions that 

may lead to compensation and, for each 

condition, the time period for 

occurrence of the first symptom or 

manifestation of onset or of significant 

aggravation after vaccine 

administration. Compensation may also 

be awarded for conditions not listed in 

the Table and for conditions that are 

manifested outside the time periods 

specified in the Table, but only if the 

petitioner shows that the condition was 

caused by one of the listed vaccines. 

Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 

U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that 

‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary 

receives service of any petition filed 

under section 2111 the Secretary shall 

publish notice of such petition in the 

Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a 

list of petitions received by HRSA on 

December 1, 2023, through December 

31, 2023. This list provides the name of 

the petitioner, city, and state of 

vaccination (if unknown then the city 

and state of the person or attorney filing 

the claim), and case number. In cases 

where the Court has redacted the name 

of a petitioner and/or the case number, 

the list reflects such redaction. 

Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that 

the special master ‘‘shall afford all 

interested persons an opportunity to 

submit relevant, written information’’ 

relating to the following: 

1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that 

there is not a preponderance of the 

evidence that the illness, disability, 

injury, condition, or death described in 

the petition is due to factors unrelated 

to the administration of the vaccine 

described in the petition,’’ and 

2. Any allegation in a petition that the 

petitioner either: 

a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly 

aggravated, any illness, disability, 

injury, or condition not set forth in the 

Vaccine Injury Table but which was 

caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred 

to in the Table, or 

b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly 

aggravated, any illness, disability, 

injury, or condition set forth in the 

Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom 

or manifestation of the onset or 

significant aggravation of which did not 

occur within the time period set forth in 

the Table but which was caused by a 

vaccine’’ referred to in the Table. 

In accordance with section 2112(b)(2), 

all interested persons may submit 

written information relevant to the 

issues described above in the case of the 

petitions listed below. Any person 

choosing to do so should file an original 

and three (3) copies of the information 

with the Clerk of the United States 

Court of Federal Claims at the address 

listed above (under the heading ‘‘For 

Further Information Contact’’), with a 

copy to HRSA addressed to Director, 

Division of Injury Compensation 

Programs, Health Systems Bureau, 5600 

Fishers Lane, 08W–25A, Rockville, 

Maryland 20857. The Court’s caption 

(Petitioner’s Name v. Secretary of HHS) 

and the docket number assigned to the 

petition should be used as the caption 

for the written submission. Chapter 35 

of title 44, United States Code, related 

to paperwork reduction, does not apply 

to information required for purposes of 

carrying out the Program.
