National Vaccine Injury Compensation 

Program; List of Petitions Received 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: HRSA is publishing this 

notice of petitions received under the 

National Vaccine Injury Compensation 

Program (the program), as required by 

the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as 

amended. While the Secretary of HHS is 

named as the respondent in all 

proceedings brought by the filing of 

petitions for compensation under the 

Program, the United States Court of 

Federal Claims is charged by statute 

with responsibility for considering and 

acting upon the petitions. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information about requirements for 

filing petitions, and the program in 

general, contact Lisa L. Reyes, Acting 

Clerk, United States Court of Federal 

Claims, 717 Madison Place NW, 

Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357–6400. 

For information on HRSA’s role in the 

Program, contact the Director, National 

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program,

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 U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to 

serve a copy of the petition on 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 

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 

November 1, 2017, through November 

30, 2017. This list provides the name of 

petitioner, city and state of vaccination 

(if unknown then city and state of 

person or attorney filing 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 U.S. 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, 

Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600 

Fishers Lane, 08N146B, Rockville, MD 

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.

reference. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding this burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including any of the 

following subjects: (1) The necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy

Title: Appellant Climate Survey, 

Revision. 

Abstract: The Office of Medicare 

Hearings and Appeals (OMHA) requests 

revision to a previously approved 

information collection request from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). The annual OMHA Appellant 

Climate Survey is a survey of Medicare 

beneficiaries, providers, suppliers, or 

their representatives who participated 

in a hearing before an Administrative 

Law Judge (ALJ) from OMHA. 

Appellants dissatisfied with the 

outcome of their Level 2 Medicare 

appeal may request a hearing before an 

OMHA ALJ. The Appellant Climate 

Survey will be used to measure 

appellant satisfaction with their OMHA 

appeals experience, as opposed to their 

satisfaction with a specific ruling. 

OMHA was established by the Medicare 

Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 

Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 (Pub. 

L. 108–173) and became operational on 

July 1, 2005. The MMA legislation and 

implementing regulations issued on 

March 8, 2007 instituted a number of 

changes in the appeals process. The 

MMA legislation also directed HHS to 

consider the feasibility of conducting 

hearings using telephone or videoteleconference (VTC) technologies. In 

carrying out this mandate, OMHA 

makes use of both teleconferencing and 

VTC to provide appellants with a vast 

nationwide network of access points for 

hearings close to their homes. The first 

3-year administration cycle of the 

OMHA survey began in fiscal year (FY) 

2008, a second 3-year cycle began in 

FY2011, and third 3-year cycle began in 

FY2014. The survey will continue to be 

conducted annually over a 3-year period 

with the next data collection cycle 

beginning in FY2018. Data collection 

instruments and recruitment materials 

will be offered in English and Spanish. 

Total burden for survey respondents is 

100.00 hours each year. 

Affected Public: Survey respondents 

will consist of Medicare beneficiaries 

and non-beneficiaries (i.e., providers, 

suppliers), who participated in a 

hearing before an OMHA ALJ. OMHA 

will draw a representative, nonredundant sample of appellants whose 

cases have been closed in the last 6 

months.
