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
