DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services

Administration

National Vaccine Injury Compensation

Program; List of Petitions Received

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services

Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and

Services Administration (HRSA) is

2914 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 9 / Friday, January 12, 2001 / Notices

publishing this notice of petitions

received under the National Vaccine

Injury Compensation Program (‘‘the

Program’’), as required by section

2112(b)(2) of the Public Health Service

(PHS) Act, as amended. While the

Secretary of Health and Human Services

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 the Clerk, United States

Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison

Place, NW., Washington, DC 20005,

(202) 219–9657. For information on

HRSA’s role in the Program, contact the

Director, National Vaccine Injury

Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers

Lane, Room 8A–46, Rockville, MD

20857; (301) 443–6593.

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 Health and Human

Services, who is named as the

respondent in each proceeding. The

Secretary has delegated her

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 section

2114 of the PHS Act or as set forth at

42 CFR 100.3, as applicable. This Table

lists for each covered childhood vaccine

the conditions which will 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 after 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 the

Secretary publish in the Federal

Register a notice of each petition filed.

Set forth below is a list of petitions

received by HRSA on July 7, 2000,

through September 27, 2000.

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) ‘‘Sustained, or had significantly

aggravated, any illness, disability,

injury, or condition not set forth in the

Table but which was caused by’’ one of

the vaccines referred to in the Table, or

(b) ‘‘Sustained, or had significantly

aggravated, any illness, disability,

injury, or condition set forth in the

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.

This notice will also serve as the

special master’s invitation to all

interested persons to 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, Bureau of

Health Professions, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Room 8–05, Rockville, MD 20857. The

Court’s caption (Petitioner’s Name v.

Secretary of Health and Human

Services) 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.
