National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; Notice of Meeting, 19938-19939 [07-1964]

Download as PDF sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 19938 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 76 / Friday, April 20, 2007 / Notices HPV vaccines to section 4132(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which defines all taxable vaccines. Under the regulations governing the VICP, Category XIV of the Table specifies that ‘‘[a]ny new vaccine recommended by the [CDC] for routine administration to children, after publication by the Secretary of a notice of coverage’’ is a covered vaccine under the Table (42 CFR 100.3(a), Item XIV). As explained above, the CDC issued its recommendation. This notice serves to satisfy the regulation’s publication requirement. Through this notice, meningococcal and HPV vaccines are included as covered vaccines under Category XIV of the Table. Under section 2114(e) of the PHS Act, as amended by section 13632(a) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, coverage for a vaccine recommended by the CDC for routine administration to children shall take effect upon the effective date of the tax enacted to provide funds for compensation with respect to the vaccine included as a covered vaccine in the Table. Under section 408 of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, the effective date for the excise taxes enacted for meningococcal vaccines against meningococcal disease and the HPV vaccine against HPV disease and infection applies to sale and uses on or after ‘‘the first day of the first month which begins more than 4 weeks after the date of the enactment of this Act.’’ It further provides that if the vaccines were sold on or before the effective date of the excise tax, but delivered after this date, the delivery date of such vaccines shall be considered the sale date. Under this authorizing statutory language, the effective date for coverage of the meningococcal and HPV vaccines under the VICP is February 1, 2007. Thus, meningococcal and HPV vaccines are included as covered vaccines under Category XIV of the Table as of February 1, 2007. Petitioners may file petitions related to meningococcal and HPV vaccines as of February 1, 2007. Petitions filed concerning vaccinerelated injuries or deaths associated with meningococcal and HPV vaccines must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations. The filing limitations applicable to petitions filed with the VICP are set out in section 2116(a) of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 300aa–16(a)). Persons who may be eligible must file petitions within: three (3) years from the first symptom or manifestation of onset of an injury or of the significant aggravation of the injury; or two (2) years from the date of a vaccine-related death and four (4) years VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:52 Apr 19, 2007 Jkt 211001 after the start of the first symptom of the vaccine-related injury from which the death occurred. In addition, section 2116(b) of the PHS Act lays out specific exceptions to these statutes of limitations that apply when the effect of a revision to the Table makes a previously ineligible person eligible to receive compensation or when an eligible person’s likelihood of obtaining compensation significantly increases. Under this provision, persons who may be eligible to file petitions based on the addition of a new vaccine under Category XIV of the Table may file a petition for compensation not later than 2 years after the effective date of the revision if the injury or death occurred not more than 8 years before the effective date of the revision of the Table (42 U.S.C. 300aa–16(b)). Thus, persons whose petitions may not be timely under the limitations periods described in section 2116(a) of the PHS Act, may still file petitions concerning vaccine-related injuries or deaths associated with meningococcal and HPV vaccines until February 2, 2009, as long as the vaccine-related injury or death occurred on or after February 1, 1999 (8 years prior to the effective date of the addition that included meningococcal vaccines and HPV as covered vaccines). Although two years from the date of February 1, 2007, would be February 1, 2009, under the current Rules of the United States Court of Federal Claims, the deadline under section 2116(b) of the PHS Act would be February 2, 2009, because February 1, 2009, falls on a Sunday. The Secretary plans to amend the Table through the rulemaking process by including meningococcal and HPV vaccines as separate categories of vaccines in the Table. February 1, 2007, will remain the applicable effective date when the Secretary makes a corresponding amendment to add meningococcal and HPV vaccines as separate categories on the Table through rulemaking. Dated: April 16, 2007. Elizabeth M. Duke, Administrator. [FR Doc.
