SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
224(p) of the Public Health Service Act,
which was established by section 304 of
the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and
amended by section 3 of the Smallpox
Emergency Personnel Act of 2003
(‘‘SEPPA’’), is intended to alleviate
certain liability concerns associated
with administration of smallpox
countermeasures and, therefore, ensure
that the countermeasures are available
and can be administered in the even of
a smallpox-related actual or potential
public health emergency such as a
bioterrorist incident.
On January 24, 2003, due to concerns
that terrorists may have access to the
smallpox virus and attempt to use it
against the American public and U.S.
Government facilities abroad, the
Secretary issued a declaration making
section 224’s legal protections available.
The declaration was effective until and
including January 23, 2004; it included
in section VI a number of definitions,
which are no longer appropriate because
of the statutory amendments in section
3 of SEPPA.
On January 24, 2004, the Secretary
amended the definitions contained in
the January 24, 2003 declaration in light
of the statutory amendments in section
3 of SEPPA because such definitions
were no longer appropriate, and
extended the declaration for one year
until January 23, 2005. On January 24,
Dated: January 24, 2007.
Michael O. Leavitt,
Secretary.
[FR Doc. 07–348 Filed 1–24–06; 11:24 am]
2005, the Secretary extended the
declaration for another year through
January 23, 2006. On January 24, 2006,
the Secretary extended the declaration
for another year through January 23,
2007. Pursuant to section 224(p)(2)(A),
the Secretary issues the amendment
below to extend for one year, up to and
including January 23, 2008, the January
24, 2003 declaration, as amended.
Amendment To Extend January 24,
2003 Declaration Regarding
Administration of Smallpox
Countermeasures.
I. Policy Determination: The
underlying policy determinations of the
January 24, 2003 declaration continue to
exist, including the heightened concern
that terrorists may have access to the
smallpox virus and attempt to use it
against the American public and U.S.
Government facilities abroad.
II. Amendment of Declaration: I,
Michael O. Leavitt, Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services, have concluded in accordance
with the authority vested in me under
section 224(p)(2)(A) of the Public Health
Service Act, that a potential bioterrorist
incident makes it advisable to extend
the January 24, 2003 declaration
regarding administration of smallpox
countermeasures until and including
January 23, 2008. The January 24, 2003,
declaration as hereby amended may be
further amended as circumstances
require.
III. Effective Dates: This extension is
effective January 24, 2007 until and
including January 23, 2008. The
effective period may be extended or
shortened by subsequent amendment to
the January 24, 2003 declaration as
hereby amended.
