Document Number: 2011-3439
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-02-28
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
The Federally Supported Health Centers Assistance Act of 1992, as amended in 1995 (FSHCAA), provides for liability protection for certain grantees of the Public Health Service and for certain individuals associated with these grantees.

In addition, HRSA proposes adding an example of services covered under the FTCA involving individual emergency care provided to a non-health center patient and updating the September 1995 Notice immunization example to include events to immunize individuals against infectious illnesses. When finalized, the amended regulation will supersede the September 1995 Notice.
