Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2018 / 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
October 1, 2018, through October 31,
2018. 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.

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 63660]]
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 October 1, 2018, through October
31, 2018. 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: November 30, 2018.

Administrator.
