SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Fielding Successful Medical
Products Survey; OMB Control Number
0720–VOIP.
Needs and Uses: Companies use
multiple strategies, funding streams,
and tactics to field medical products
that the military can use in the Military
Health System (MHS) and military
operations. Little is known about the
critical factors affecting medical product
research, development, and acquisition
by the DoD. This gap in knowledge
hinders the DoD’s ability to effectively
influence the commercial development
of life-saving medical technologies and
impedes the DHA’s and Services’
advanced development functions.
As part of 59th Medical Wing’s
Science & Technology, Technology
Transfer and Transition (59 MDW/ST–
T3) Office’s continuous process
improvement effort, this proposed
information collection will gather
feedback from companies that have
successfully developed and marketed

commercially-available medical
products to the DoD over the last five (5)
years. The questionnaire elicits
information about (a) funding streams,
processes, ideas, partnerships, and
pathways, (b) Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) approval/
clearance, (c) teaming arrangements,
management strategies, and leadership
approaches, and (d) barriers and
enablers to marketing to the DoD.
By performing this market analysis,
we aim to develop actionable, datadriven recommendations for improving
acquisition of innovative medical
solutions. An analysis of responses
permits a clear understanding of how
the DoD can influence, emulate, and
facilitate successful production and
provisioning of new/novel medical
products (capabilities) to address
existing requirements or enhance
existing medical/health capabilities.
Specifically, this effort will support the
DHA’s mission of driving innovative
solutions to improve health and build
readiness.

addition to the DD 2064, a Death
Certificate Information Sheet is
completed to gather additional related
information. 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

AGENCY:
This notice provides

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.
