under part 488, subpart A, must provide
us with reasonable assurance that the
AO requires the accredited provider
entities to meet requirements that are at
least as stringent as the Medicare
conditions. Our regulations concerning
the approval of AO are set forth at
§ 488.5. The regulations at
§ 488.5(e)(2)(i) require an AO to reapply
for continued approval of its
accreditation program every 6 years or
as determined by CMS.
The DNV–GL Healthcare USA, Inc.
(DNV–GL) current term of approval for
their hospital accreditation program
expires December 23, 2020.
II. Approval of Accreditation
Organizations
Section 1865(a)(2) of the Act and our
regulations at § 488.5 require that our
findings concerning review and
approval of a national AO’s
requirements consider, among other
factors, the applying AO’s requirements
for accreditation; survey procedures;
resources for conducting required
surveys; capacity to furnish information
for use in enforcement activities;
monitoring procedures for provider
entities found not in compliance with
the conditions or requirements; and
ability to provide CMS with the
necessary data for validation.
Section 1865(a)(3)(A) of the Act
further requires that we publish, within
60 days of receipt of an organization’s
complete application, a notice
identifying the national accrediting
body making the request, describing the
nature of the request, and providing at
least a 30-day public comment period.
We have 210 days from the receipt of a
complete application to publish notice
of approval or denial of the application.
The purpose of this proposed notice
is to inform the public of DNV–GL’s
request for continued approval of its
CAH accreditation program. This notice
also solicits public comment on whether
the DNV–GL’s requirements meet or
exceed the Medicare conditions of
participation (CoPs) for CAHs.

III. Evaluation of Deeming Authority
Request
DNV–GL submitted all the necessary
materials to enable us to make a
determination concerning its request for
continued approval of its CAH
accreditation program. This application
was determined to be complete on
March 17, 2020. Under 1865(a)(2) of the
Act and our regulations at § 488.5
(Application and re-application
procedures for national AO), our review
and evaluation of the DNV–GL will be
conducted in accordance with, but not

necessarily limited to, the following
factors:
• The equivalency of the DNV–GL’s
standards for hospitals as compared
with CMS’ CAH CoPs.
• The DNV–GL’s survey process to
determine the following:
++ The composition of the survey
team, surveyor qualifications, and the
ability of the organization to provide
continuing surveyor training.
++ The comparability of the DNV–
GL’s processes to those of state agencies,
including survey frequency, and the
ability to investigate and respond
appropriately to complaints against
accredited facilities.
++ DNV–GL’s processes and
procedures for monitoring a CAH found
out of compliance with DNV–GL’s
program requirements. These
monitoring procedures are used only
when the DNV–GL identifies
noncompliance. If noncompliance is
identified through validation reviews or
complaint surveys, the state survey
agency monitors corrections as specified
at § 488.9.
++ DNV–GL’s capacity to report
deficiencies to the surveyed facilities
and respond to the facility’s plan of
correction in a timely manner.
++ DNV–GL’s capacity to provide
CMS with electronic data and reports
necessary for effective validation and
assessment of the organization’s survey
process.
++ The adequacy of the DNV–GL’s
staff and other resources, and its
financial viability.
++ DNV–GL’s capacity to adequately
fund required surveys.
++ DNV–GL’s policies with respect to
whether surveys are announced or
unannounced, to assure that surveys are
unannounced.
++ DNV–GL’s policies and procedures
to avoid conflicts of interest, including
the appearance of conflicts of interest,
involving individuals who conduct
surveys or participate in accreditation
decisions.
++ DNV–GL’s agreement to provide
CMS with a copy of the most current
accreditation survey together with any
other information related to the survey
as we may require (including corrective
action plans).

index.html.
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 United States Court of Federal
Claims and to serve a copy of the
petition to 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.
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
April 1, 2020, through April 30, 2020.
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
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

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 United States
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,
Maryland 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.

information, including any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy

Abstract: The Department of Health

Assistant Secretary for Financial
Resources and Office of Grants and
Acquisition Policy and Accountability,
Division of Acquisition is requesting an
approval by OMB for an extension of a
previously approved information
collection request, Acquisition
Regulation Clause Patent rights and
Rights in Data. HHS found that
systematically, over a period of several
years, when Determination of
Exceptional Circumstances (DEC) were
executed, additional legal protection for
the patent and data rights of third
parties beyond those covered by FAR
27.306 were necessary A DEC is
executed consistent with the policy and
objectives of the Bayh-Dole Act, 35
U.S.C. 200, et seq., to ensure that subject
inventions made under contracts and
subcontracts (at all tiers) are used in a
manner to promote free competition and
enterprise without unduly encumbering
future research and discovery; to
encourage maximum participation of
small business firms in federally
supported research and development
efforts; to promote collaboration
between commercial concerns and
nonprofit organizations including
universities; to ensure that the
Government obtains sufficient rights in
federally supported inventions to meet
its needs; to protect the public against
nonuse or unreasonable use of
inventions; and in the case of fulfilling
the mission of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, to
ultimately to benefit the public health.
Likely Respondents: Administrative,
technical, legal and management
personnel.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program; List of Petitions
Received
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA is publishing this notice of petitions received under the
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,
Clerk of Court, 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,

6593, or visit our website 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 United States Court of Federal Claims and to serve
a copy of the petition to 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.
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 April 1, 2020, through April 30,
2020. 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 United States 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, Maryland 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.

Administrator.
