SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
summaries of medical and clinical
pharmacology reviews of pediatric
studies conducted for ACTIQ (fentanyl),
ALDARA (imiquimod), AMBIEN
(zolpidem), COREG (carvedilol),
PROVIGIL (modafinil), and ZYPREXA
(olanzapine). The summaries are being
made available consistent with section 9
of the BPCA (Public Law 107–109).
Enacted on January 4, 2002, the BPCA
reauthorizes, with certain important
changes, the pediatric exclusivity
program described in section 505A of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355a). Section
505A of the act permits certain
applications to obtain 6 months of
marketing exclusivity if, in accordance
with the requirements of the statute, the
sponsor submits requested information
relating to the use of the drug in the
pediatric population.
One of the provisions the BPCA
added to the pediatric exclusivity
program pertains to the dissemination of
pediatric information. Specifically, for
all pediatric supplements submitted
under the BPCA, the BPCA requires
FDA to make available to the public a
summary of the medical and clinical
pharmacology reviews of pediatric
studies conducted for the supplement
(21 U.S.C. 355a(m)(1)). The summaries
are to be made available not later than
180 days after the report on the
pediatric study is submitted to FDA (21
U.S.C. 355a(m)(1)). Consistent with this
provision of the BPCA, FDA has posted
on the Internet at https://www.fda.gov/
cder/pediatric/index.htm summaries of
medical and clinical pharmacology
reviews of pediatric studies submitted
in supplements for ACTIQ (fentanyl),
ALDARA (imiquimod), AMBIEN
(zolpidem), COREG (carvedilol),
PROVIGIL (modafinil), and ZYPREXA
(olanzapine). Copies are also available
by mail (see ADDRESSES).

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services
Administration
Poison Control Center Stabilization
and Enhancement Grant Programs
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), HHS.
ACTION: Response to solicitation of
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: A notice was published in the
Federal Register (FR) on February 13,
2007, (Vol. 72, p. 6738–6739),
describing HRSA’s proposal to institute
an exception to the Department of
Health and Human Services’ policy
directive governing indirect cost
recovery. The notice requested public
comments on the proposed exception to
Departmental policy requirements to be
sent to HRSA no later than March 15,
2007.
Three comments were received, one
from a Poison Control Center (PCC) host
institution (grant recipient) and two
from individual PCCs. Two of the three
commenters supported HRSA’s plan to
institute an exception from the grants
policy directive, which would
permanently limit indirect cost recovery
to 10 percent for the Poison Control
Center Stabilization and Enhancement
Grant Programs.
Issue: Institution of a 10 Percent Limit
on the Indirect Cost
Comments: Two of the three
commenters fully supported HRSA’s
proposal to permanently limit indirect
cost recovery rates to 10 percent for this
program. One commenter raised
concern that the limitation would
impose greater burdens on the host
institution by shifting the unrecovered
administrative costs to the host
institution. In response, we replied that
the 10 percent limitation had been in
effect since the institution of the award
program.
Agency Response: As noted in the
referenced Federal Register Notice,
since 2001, the HRSA Poison Control
Program has limited indirect costs to 10
percent of the allowable total direct
costs for grantees with negotiated rate
agreements. This limitation on indirect
costs was requested annually because
many PCCs are housed within
universities and hospitals (the official

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 7, 2007 / Notices
grantees) which have established
indirect cost rates in the range of 30 to
50 percent. Without a limitation on
indirect cost rates, the objectives of the
grant programs would not be met for the
following reason:
The average amount of these grant
awards has been approximately
$200,000, with some amounts as low as
$30,000. Depending upon the host
institution’s indirect cost rate, as much
as 50 percent of the grant award could
be consumed by the institution’s
indirect costs, thus significantly
reducing the amount of funds available
to initiate and maintain the activities of
the grant.
Given the adverse impact on grant
activities for this program if full indirect
cost recovery were permitted, and that
comments received were generally
favorable to HRSA’s proposal, HRSA is
instituting the 10 percent limitation for
the Poison Control Center Stabilization
and Enhancement Grant Programs.

(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

Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison

HRSA’s role in the Program, contact the
Director, National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers
Lane, Room 11C–26, 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 his
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 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 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 January 1, 2007,
through March 31, 2007.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00087

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
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.
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
