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 this 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 42 CFR 100.3. This Table lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions that 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.

Notice of Class Deviation From Competition Requirements

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of Class Deviation from Competition Requirements: 
Program Expansion Supplement Request for Pediatric Audiology 
Supplements to ten Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other 
Related Disabilities (LEND) Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Training 
Programs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: HRSA announces the award of a program expansion supplement in 
the amount of $70,000 each to ten Leadership Education in 
Neurodevelopment and Other Related Disabilities (LEND) grantees with 
existing graduate-level pediatric audiology programs. The purpose of 
the LEND Program is to enhance the clinical expertise and leadership 
skills of professionals dedicated to caring for children with 
neurodevelopmental and other related disabilities, including autism, 
and to increase the number of trained providers available to treat 
children with complex disabilities. The purpose of this notice is to 
award a 12-month supplement to LEND pediatric audiology programs to: 
(1) Strengthen the focus on testing for hearing loss in young infants 
and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other related 
neurodevelopmental disabilities (DD); and (2) to increase the number of 
pediatric audiology trainees with clinical and leadership skills to 
detect hearing loss in these infants/children, and to develop systems 
to increase enrollment of identified infants/children into early 
intervention programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Intended Recipients of the Awards: University of Utah, UNC-Chapel 
Hill, University of Pittsburgh, University of Colorado, Vanderbilt 
University, University of Miami, University of South Dakota, University 
of Washington, Children's Hospital Boston, University of Wisconsin.
    Amount of Each Non-Competitive Award: $70,000.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: 7/1/2015-6/30/2016.
    CFDA Number: 93.110.

    Authority:  Autism Act of 2006, Public Health Service (PHS) Act 
Sec.  399BB(e)(1)(A), codified at 42 U.S.C. 280i-1.

    Justification: The ten LEND programs discussed in this request are 
currently in year 5 of a 5-year project period. Approval of this 
request for a $70,000 program expansion supplement to each of the ten 
grantees will allow the programs to continue their work to strengthen 
the focus on testing for hearing loss in young infants and children 
with ASD and other related DD, to increase the number of pediatric 
audiology trainees with clinical and leadership skills to detect 
hearing loss in these infants/children, and to enroll identified 
infants/children into early intervention programs.
    The identified LEND grantees are uniquely qualified to perform the 
expanded activity because for the past 6 years they have provided 
enhanced didactic and clinical training in pediatric audiology and have 
increased the number of trained pediatric audiologists to provide 
critical services in the community. If these grantees are awarded a 
program expansion, LEND will continue to increase the number of 
pediatric audiology trainees with clinical and leadership skills to 
detect hearing loss in infants/children with ASD and other related DD, 
and to enroll identified infants/children into early intervention 
programs. Each of the ten LEND Programs that receive this funding has

three to four pediatric audiology trainees in their programs. Without a 
continuation of funds, the trainees will be left with an incomplete 
training experience. Disapproval of this request may also prevent 
families of children with ASD and other DD from receiving appropriate 
services through trained providers and create more burden on families 
to access early intervention services in a timely manner.
