‘‘Total Sugars’’ declaration, we could
exclude them from the ‘‘Total Sugars’’
declaration, or we could adjust the gram
amount of the ‘‘Total Sugars’’
declaration based on their caloric
contribution to the diet. What
considerations could inform our
approach? Please explain your
reasoning, and provide data or other
information that would support these
considerations and any recommended
approach.
2. In the guidance regarding allulose,
we discuss factors that we considered
when determining whether a sugar
should be excluded from the declaration
of ‘‘Total Sugars,’’ including pH of
dental plaque after consumption, caloric
value, and glycemic and insulinemic
response. What, if any, other factors
impact whether a sugar should be
excluded from the declaration of ‘‘Total
Sugars’’? Please provide any data or
other information that supports your
response.
C. Declaration of Added Sugars
1. We could take one of various
approaches to account for sugars that
are metabolized differently than
traditional sugars in the declaration of
‘‘Added Sugars.’’ For example, we could
require them to be declared within the
‘‘Added Sugars’’ declaration, we could
exclude them from the ‘‘Added Sugars’’
declaration, or we could adjust the gram
amount of the ‘‘Added Sugars’’ or the
%DV declaration based on their caloric
contribution to the diet. What
considerations could inform our
approach? Please explain your
reasoning, and provide data or other
information that would support these
considerations and any recommended
approach.
2. In the guidance regarding allulose,
we discuss factors that we considered
when determining whether a sugar
should be excluded from the declaration
of ‘‘Added Sugars,’’ including caloric
value and glycemic and insulinemic
response. What other factors, if any,
impact whether a sugar should be
excluded from the declaration of
‘‘Added Sugars’’? Please provide any
data or other information that supports
your response.
3. We might adjust the %DV for
‘‘Added Sugars’’ for the U.S. population
4 years of age and older based on the
caloric contribution of the sugar. For
example:
Assume a product contains 5 g of
sucrose and 10 g of another sugar with
a caloric value of 2 kcal/g per serving.
Step 1. Calculate the Total Caloric
Contribution of Sugars (amount of
sucrose (g/serving) × caloric value
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
(kcal/g)) + (amount of other sugar
(g/serving) × caloric value (kcal/g))
a. Sucrose: 5 g/serving × 4 kcal/g
(caloric value of sucrose) = 20 kcal/
serving
b. Other sugar: 10 g/serving × 2 kcal/
g (caloric value of other sugar) = 20
kcal/serving
c. Total Caloric Contribution = 20
kcal/serving (sucrose) + 20 kcal/
serving (other sugar) = 40 kcal/
serving
Step 2. Calculate Total Amount of
Sugars Adjusted for the Total
Caloric Contribution (Total Caloric
Contribution of Sugars (kcal/
serving) ÷ 4 kcal/g))
Amount of Sugars Adjusted for
Caloric Contribution = 40 kcal/
serving ÷ 4 kcal/g = 10 g-equivalent/
serving
Step 3. Calculate %DV for Added
Sugars (Amount of Sugars Adjusted
for Caloric Contribution (gequivalent) ÷ 50 g/day (DV for
Added Sugars for the general U.S.
population 4 years of age and older)
× 100))
%DV = (10 g-equivalent ÷ 50 g/day) ×
100 = 20%
What considerations are there with
respect to adjusting the %DV
declaration based on the caloric
contribution of the sugar?
D. Label Declarations
1. We currently require the disclosure
of sugar alcohols and sugars that are
metabolized differently than traditional
sugars in the ingredient statement in
accordance with § 101.4(a), but also
allow for the voluntary declaration of
sugar alcohols on the Nutrition Facts
label (§ 101.9(c)(6)(iv)). Please provide
any data or other information that we
could consider when determining
whether we should allow for the
voluntary declaration on the Nutrition
Facts label of sugars that are
metabolized differently than traditional
sugars.
2. Sugar alcohols fall into a separate
category of labeling and are excluded
from the ‘‘Total Sugars’’ and ‘‘Added
Sugars’’ declarations. Please provide
any data or other information that we
could consider when determining
whether sugars that are metabolized
differently than traditional sugars
should be combined with sugar alcohols
into one declaration within the
Nutrition Facts label.
3. If sugars that are metabolized
differently than traditional sugars are
excluded from the ‘‘Total Sugars’’ and
‘‘Added Sugars’’ declarations and are
combined with sugar alcohols in a
separate labeling category within the
Nutrition Facts label, what names

or other information that supports your
recommendation.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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.

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
SUMMARY:

19OCN1
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 202 / Monday, October 19, 2020 / Notices
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
September 1, 2020, through September
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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.

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, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 08N146B,
Rockville, Maryland 20857; (301) 443-6593, 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
[[Page 66339]]
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 September 1, 2020, through
September 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.
Thomas J. Engels,
Administrator.
