This collection of information is authorized by 10 U.S.C. 1471, ‘‘Forensic Pathology Investigations’’; 10 U.S.C. 1509, ‘‘Program to Resolve Missing Persons Cases’’; and DoD Instruction 5154.30, ‘‘Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) Operations.’’ AFMES is a government-developed system that provides medical examiners the ability to track and record autopsy and consultation information. Information is pushed from the Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS) in to AFMES. If needed, additional information required to complete the DD 2064 may be collected by medical legal death investigators. This information may be collected from the deceased’s next-of-kin or workplace over the phone or via email. The additional collected information is recorded into AFMES. To generate a DD 2064, the aggregate collected information contained within AFMES is synthesized electronically to fill respective fields on the DD 2064. This form is signed by the examining pathologist. The completed and signed document is retained within AFMES. Depending on circumstances, the completed DD 2064 is sent to the deceased’s next-of-kin, the designated funeral home, or the branch casualty office by Federal Express Certified Mail. If the deceased was a member of the military at the time of death, the DD 2064 may be downloaded by the service casualty offices who will print out copies to disseminate as required.

ACTION: Notice of increase in cap on noneconomic damages. AGENCY: This notice provides information on the increase in the cap on non-economic damages for DoD medical malpractice claims filed by members of the Uniformed Services. DATES: The increased cap is effective October 20, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melissa D. Walters, (703) 681–6027, melissa.d.walters.civ@mail.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final rule published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2022 (87 FR 52446– 52463), 32 CFR 45.10(c), requires the Department of Defense to publish periodic updates to the cap on noneconomic damages, consistent with changes in the prevailing amounts in the States with non-economic damages caps. The cap on non-economic damages is increased from $600,000 to $750,000. This change reflects changes in State law, including changes in those States that periodically increase their damages cap to reflect inflation, and to account for average jury verdicts in those states that have caps on non-economic damages that do not apply in cases of more serious injury.
