the PHS Act, to authorize, upon request
by a state or tribal organization or their
designee, the temporary reassignment of
state, tribal, and local personnel funded
through programs authorized under the
PHS Act to immediately address a
public health emergency in the state or
Indian tribe. This final guidance
addresses that provision.

The PHS Act requires that HHS issue
proposed guidance on this provision, to
be followed by a 60-day public
comment period. Consistent with this
requirement, a notice appeared in the
Federal Register on October 1, 2013 (78
FR 60283) notifying the public that HHS
was accepting comments on such
proposed guidance. This 60-day public
comment period concluded in
December 2013. There were nine
submissions received in the public
comment period. Five of the
submissions were local governments,
one state government, and three
associations. Revisions made based on
feedback received included setting
timelines for HHS to review;
standardizing the request template for
states and Indian tribes, expanding the
post event reporting requirements from
90 to 120 days, and clarifications on
which Public Health Service programs
were potentially affected.
The temporary reassignment
provision is applicable to state, tribal,
and local public health department or
agency personnel whose positions are
funded, in full or part, under PHS
programs. This authority terminates on
September 30, 2018.
This new provision provides an
important flexibility to state and local
health departments and tribal
organizations during an event requiring
all the resources at their disposal. The
temporary reassignment provision
permits state, tribal, and local personnel
to be voluntarily reassigned so they can
immediately respond to the public
health emergency in the affected
jurisdiction.
Dated: September 1, 2015.

Secretary.
