sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Secretary annually publish lists of the
designated geographic areas, population
groups, and facilities. The lists of
HPSAs are to be reviewed at least
annually and revised as necessary.
Final regulations (42 CFR part 5) were
published in 1980 that include the
criteria for designating HPSAs. Criteria
were defined for seven health
professional types: Primary medical
care, dental, psychiatric, vision care,
podiatric, pharmacy, and veterinary
care. The criteria for correctional facility
HPSAs were revised and published on
March 2, 1989 (54 FR 8735). The criteria
for psychiatric HPSAs were expanded to
mental health HPSAs on January 22,
1992 (57 FR 2473). Currently-funded
PHS Act programs use only the primary
medical care, mental health, or dental
HPSA designations.
HPSA designation offers access to
potential federal assistance. Public or
private nonprofit entities are eligible to
apply for assignment of National Health
Service Corps (NHSC) personnel to
provide primary medical care, mental
health, or dental health services in or to
these HPSAs. NHSC health
professionals enter into service
agreements to serve in federallydesignated HPSAs. Entities with clinical
training sites located in HPSAs are
eligible to receive priority for certain
residency training program grants
administered by HRSA’s Bureau of
Health Workforce (BHW). Other federal
programs also utilize HPSA
designations. For example, under
authorities administered by the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services,
certain qualified providers in
geographic area HPSAs are eligible for
increased levels of Medicare
reimbursement.
Content and Format of Lists
The three lists of designated HPSAs
are available on the HPSAFind Web site
and include a snapshot of all geographic
areas, population groups, and facilities
that were designated HPSAs as of May
1, 2017. This notice incorporates the
most recent annual reviews of
designated HPSAs and supersedes the
HPSA lists published in the Federal
Register on July 1, 2016 (81 FR 43214).
In addition, all Indian Tribes that
meet the definition of such Tribes in the
Indian Health Care Improvement Act of
1976, 25 U.S.C. 1603(d), are
automatically designated as population
groups with primary medical care and
dental health professional shortages.
Further, the Health Care Safety Net
Amendments of 2002 provides
eligibility for automatic facility HPSA
designations for all federally qualified
health centers (FQHCs) and rural health
VerDate Sep<11>2014

clinics that offer services regardless of
ability to pay. Specifically, these entities
include FQHCs funded under section
330 of the PHS Act, FQHC Look-Alikes,
and Tribal and urban Indian clinics
operating under the Indian SelfDetermination and Education Act of
1975 (25 U.S.C. 450) or the Indian
Health Care Improvement Act. Many,
but not all, of these entities are included
on this listing. Absence from this list
does not exclude them from HPSA
designation; facilities eligible for
automatic designation are included in
the database when they are identified.
Each list of designated HPSAs is
arranged by state. Within each state, a
list is presented by county. If only a
portion (or portions) of a county is (are)
designated, a county is part of a larger
designated service area, or a population
group residing in a county or a facility
located in a county has been designated,
the name of the service area, population
group, or facility involved is listed
under the county name. A county that
has a whole county geographic HPSA is
indicated by the phrase ‘‘Entire county
HPSA’’ following the county name.
Development of the Designation and
Withdrawal Lists
Requests for designation or
withdrawal of a particular geographic
area, population group, or a facility as
a HPSA are received continuously by
BHW. Under a Cooperative Agreement
between HRSA and the 54 state and
territorial Primary Care Offices (PCOs),
PCOs conduct needs assessments and
submit the majority of the applications
to HRSA to designate areas as HPSAs.
Requests that come from other sources
are referred by BHW to PCOs for review.
In addition, interested parties, including
Governors, state Primary Care
Associations, and state professional
associations, are notified of requests so
that they may submit comments and
recommendations.
BHW reviews each recommendation
for possible addition, continuation,
revision, or withdrawal. Following
review, BHW notifies the appropriate
agency, individuals, and interested
organizations of each designation of a
HPSA, rejection of recommendation for
HPSA designation, revision of a HPSA
designation, and/or advance notice of
pending withdrawal from the HPSA list.
Designations (or revisions of
designations) are effective as of the date
on the notification from BHW and are
updated daily on the HPSAFind Web
site. The effective date of a withdrawal
will be the next publication of a notice
regarding the lists in the Federal
Register.

Program (the program), as required by
the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as
amended. While the Secretary of HHS is

proceedings brought by the filing of
petitions for compensation under the
program, the United States Court of
Federal Claims is charged by statute
with responsibility for considering and
acting upon the petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the program in
general, contact Lisa L. Reyes, Acting
Clerk, United States Court of Federal
Claims, 717 Madison Place NW.,

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 HHS, 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 121 / Monday, June 26, 2017 / Notices
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. Compensation may also
be awarded for conditions not listed in
the Table and for conditions that are
manifested outside the time periods
specified in the Table, but only if the
petitioner shows that the condition was
caused by one of the listed vaccines.
Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42
U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that
‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary
receives service of any petition filed
under section 2111 the Secretary shall
publish notice of such petition in the
Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on
May 1, 2017, through May 31, 2017.
This list provides the name of
petitioner, city and state of vaccination
(if unknown then city and state of
person or attorney filing claim), and
case number. In cases where the Court
has redacted the name of a petitioner
and/or the case number, the list reflects
such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that
the special master ‘‘shall afford all
interested persons an opportunity to
submit relevant, written information’’
relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that
there is not a preponderance of the
evidence that the illness, disability,
injury, condition, or death described in
the petition is due to factors unrelated
to the administration of the vaccine
described in the petition,’’ and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the
petitioner either:
a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition not set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table but which was
caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred
to in the Table, or
b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom
or manifestation of the onset or
significant aggravation of which did not
occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a
vaccine’’ referred to in the Table.
In accordance with Section
2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to
the issues described above in the case of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the petitions listed below. Any person
choosing to do so should file an original
and three (3) copies of the information
with the Clerk of the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims at the address listed
above (under the heading FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT), with a copy to
HRSA addressed to Director, Division of
Injury Compensation Programs,
Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600
Fishers Lane, 08N146B, Rockville, MD
20857. The Court’s caption (Petitioner’s
Name v. Secretary of HHS) and the
docket number assigned to the petition
should be used as the caption for the
written submission. Chapter 35 of title
44, United States Code, related to
paperwork reduction, does not apply to
information required for purposes of
carrying out the program.

National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (the program), as required
by the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While the Secretary
of HHS is named as the respondent in all proceedings brought by the
filing of petitions for compensation under the program, the United
States Court of Federal Claims is charged by statute with
responsibility for considering and acting upon the petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the program in general, contact Lisa L. Reyes,
Acting Clerk, United States Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison Place
NW., Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357-6400. For information on HRSA's
role in the program, contact the Director, National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 08N146B, Rockville, MD
20857; (301) 443-6593, or visit our Web site at: https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/.
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 HHS, 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.
[[Page 28865]]
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. Compensation may
also be awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for
conditions that are manifested outside the time periods specified in
the Table, but only if the petitioner shows that the condition was
caused by one of the listed vaccines.
Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa-12(b)(2),
requires that ``[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service
of any petition filed under section 2111 the Secretary shall publish
notice of such petition in the Federal Register.'' Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on May 1, 2017, through May 31,
2017. This list provides the name of petitioner, city and state of
vaccination (if unknown then city and state of person or attorney
filing claim), and case number. In cases where the Court has redacted
the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the list reflects such
redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ``shall
afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant,
written information'' relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ``that there is not a preponderance of
the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death
described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the
administration of the vaccine described in the petition,'' and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either:
a. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury
Table but which was caused by'' one of the vaccines referred to in the
Table, or
b. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table
the first symptom or manifestation of the onset or significant
aggravation of which did not occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a vaccine'' referred to in the Table.
In accordance with Section 2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to the issues described above in
the case of the petitions listed below. Any person choosing to do so
should file an original and three (3) copies of the information with
the Clerk of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims at the address listed
above (under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT), with a copy
to HRSA addressed to Director, Division of Injury Compensation
Programs, Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, 08N146B,
Rockville, MD 20857. The Court's caption (Petitioner's Name v.
Secretary of HHS) and the docket number assigned to the petition should
be used as the caption for the written submission. Chapter 35 of title
44, United States Code, related to paperwork reduction, does not apply
to information required for purposes of carrying out the program.
Dated: June 16, 2017.
George Sigounas,
Administrator.
