The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the issuance of an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (the Authorization) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) for use during the COVID–19 pandemic. FDA has issued one Authorization for the drug product KINERET (anakinra) as requested by Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi). The Authorization contains, among other things, conditions on the emergency use of the authorized product. The Authorization follows the February 4, 2020, determination by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) that there is a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of U.S. citizens living abroad and that involves a novel (new) coronavirus. The virus, now named SARS–CoV–2, causes the illness COVID–19. On the basis of such determination, the Secretary of HHS declared on March 27, 2020, that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID–19 pandemic, pursuant to the FD&C Act, subject to the terms of any authorization issued under that section. The Authorization, which includes an explanation of the reasons for issuance, is reprinted in this document. DATES: The Authorization is effective as of November 8, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb–3) allows FDA to strengthen public health protections against biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological agents. Among other things, section 564 of the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of an unapproved medical product or an unapproved use of an approved medical product in certain situations. With this EUA authority, FDA can help ensure that medical countermeasures may be used in emergencies to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by biological, chemical, nuclear, or radiological agents when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives (among other criteria). II. Criteria for EUA Authorization Section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act provides that, before an EUA may be issued, the Secretary of HHS must declare that circumstances exist justifying the authorization based on one of the following grounds: (1) a determination by the Secretary of Homeland Security that there is a domestic emergency, or a significant potential for a domestic emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack with a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents; (2) a determination by the Secretary of Defense that there is a military emergency, or a significant potential for a military emergency, involving a heightened risk to U.S. military forces, including personnel operating under the authority of title 10 or title 50, U.S. Code, of attack with (A) a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents; or (B) an agent or agents that may cause, or are otherwise associated E:\FR\FM\13MRN1.SGM 13MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Foreign gifts and decorations above the GSA-defined minimal value 
are handled differently than lesser-valued foreign gifts and 
decorations under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7342 and FMR 102-42.
    Foreign gifts and decorations above the minimal value become the 
property of the Federal Government and must be reported to GSA for 
disposal if not immediately needed by the agency for official purposes. 
Additionally, those items initially retained by the agencies for 
official use are reported to GSA upon termination of official use.
    The foreign gifts and decorations minimal value was last redefined 
effective January 1, 2020, at $415, and therefore, must be redefined as 
of January 1, 2023, to reflect the CPI increase of 15.33 percent for 
the preceding three years.
    Pursuant to FMR 102-42.10, the approved revised minimal value will 
be published in an FMR Bulletin posted on OGP's website (www.gsa.gov/foreigngifts).
    Calculations using the consumer prices over the past three years 
show that the minimal value must increase 15.33 percent from its 
current $415, which yields an amount of $478.62. As in previous years, 
GSA is rounding the amount to the nearest five dollar increments.
    Therefore, GSA is adjusting the new minimal value to $480.00. Per 
FMR 102-42.10, an agency may, by regulation, specify a lower value than 
this Government-wide value for its agency employees.
