Instead, it appears that the applicable
test is ‘‘strict scrutiny’’ and the State did
not demonstrate the necessary
‘‘compelling State interest’’ and that the
proposed action was narrowly tailored
to meet that interest.
I am scheduling a hearing on your
request for reconsideration to be held on
May 20, 2008, at the CMS Denver
Regional Office, 1600 Broadway, Suite
#700, Vail Conference Room, Denver,
Colorado 80202, in order to reconsider
the decision to disapprove SPA 07–004.
If this date is not acceptable, we would
be glad to set another date that is
mutually agreeable to the parties. The
hearing will be governed by the
procedures prescribed by Federal
regulations at 42 CFR Part 430.
I am designating Ms. Kathleen ScullyHayes as the presiding officer. If these
arrangements present any problems,
please contact the presiding officer at
(410) 786–2055. In order to facilitate any
communication which may be necessary
between the parties to the hearing,
please notify the presiding officer to
indicate acceptability of the hearing
date that has been scheduled and
provide names of the individuals who
will represent the State at the hearing.
Sincerely,
Kerry Weems, Acting Administrator.

Description of Technology: The
invention describes methods of eliciting
immune responses and treating disease
based on novel vaccine compositions
and vaccination strategies employing
human papilloma virus (HPV) virus-like
particles (VLPs), comprising L1 and L2
proteins. These VLPs have the capacity
to incorporate up to 8 kb of DNA into
the shell and express only the target
antigen. These compositions are
effective at eliciting an immune
response to the transgene product
expressed by the DNA when
administered at epithelial surfaces
including the mucosa (e.g. nasal or
respiratory passages or genital tract) or
skin in conjunction with disruption of
the epithelial layer. It is typically
difficult to elicit an immune response in
