The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposes to amend the regulations implementing the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, as amended (NOTA), to remove clinical research and institutional review board (IRB) requirements ("research and IRB requirements") for transplantation of kidney and livers from donors with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to recipients with HIV. As allowed by the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act, the Secretary of HHS proposes to determine that participation in such clinical research should no longer be a requirement for transplantation of HIV positive kidneys and livers from donors with HIV to recipients with HIV. This proposed rule serves as publication of the Secretary's proposed determination and proposes to amend the regulations to reflect this determination. Consistent with NOTA and current regulatory requirements, the Secretary's proposed determination and the proposed corresponding regulatory revision, if finalized, will necessitate that the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) adopt and use standards of quality concerning kidneys and livers from donors with HIV, as directed by the Secretary, consistent with NOTA and in a way that ensures the revised requirements for transplantation of such organs will not reduce the safety of organ transplantation.
