Defibrillation Programs in Federal

SUMMARY: On May 23, 2001, the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) and the General Services
Administration (GSA) jointly issued
‘‘Guidelines for Public Access
Defibrillation Programs in Federal
Facilities.’’ 66 FR 28495–28501. These
guidelines were prepared, in part, in
response to a May 19, 2000, Presidential
Memorandum directing HHS and GSA
to issue guidelines for the placement of
automated external defibrillator (AED)
devices in Federal buildings. In
addition, section 7 of the Healthcare
Research and Quality Act of 1999,
Public Law 106–129 (December 6,
1999), 42 U.S.C. 241 note, and section
247 of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 238p (as added by section 403 of
the Public Health Improvement Act,
Pub. L. 106–505 (November 13, 2000)),
directed the Secretary of HHS to
establish and publish the guidelines.
This bulletin cancels and replaces the
May 23, 2001, notice and provides
updated information for establishing
public access defibrillation (PAD)
programs in Federal facilities.
The revised guidelines provide a
general framework for initiating a design
process for PAD programs in Federal
facilities and provide basic information
to familiarize facilities leadership with
the essential elements of a PAD
program. The guidelines do not
exhaustively address or cover all aspects
of AED or PAD programs. They are
aimed at outlining the key elements of
a PAD program so that facility-specific,
detailed plans and programs can be
developed in an informed manner.
PAD programs are voluntary and are
not mandatory for Federal facilities. The
costs and expenses to establish and
operate a PAD program are the
responsibility of the agency sponsoring
the program and not GSA or HHS.
DATES:
Effective Date: August 14, 2009.
