MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966, prepared

in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and

providing for reorganization of health functions of the Department

of Health, Education, and Welfare.

I

Today we face new challenges and unparalleled opportunities in

the field of health. Building on the progress of the past several

years, we have truly begun to match the achievements of our

medicine to the needs of our people.

The task ahead is immense. As a nation, we will unceasingly

pursue our research and learning, our training and building, our

testing and treatment. But now our concern must also turn to the

organization of our Federal health programs.

As citizens we are entitled to the very best health services our

resources can provide.

As taxpayers, we demand the most efficient and economic health

organizations that can be devised.

I ask the Congress to approve a reorganization plan to bring new

strength to the administration of Federal health programs.

I propose a series of changes in the organization of the Public

Health Service that will bring to all Americans a structure modern

in design, more efficient in operation and better prepared to meet

the great and growing needs of the future. Through such

improvements we can achieve the full promise of the landmark health

legislation enacted by the 89th Congress.

I do not propose these changes lightly. They follow a period of

careful deliberation. For many months the Secretary of Health,

Education, and Welfare, and the Surgeon General have consulted

leading experts in the Nation - physicians, administrators,

scientists, and public health specialists. They have confirmed my

belief that modernization and reorganization of the Public Health

Service are urgently required and long overdue.

II

The Public Health Service is an operating agency of the

Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. It is the principal

arm of the Federal Government in the field of health. Its programs

are among those most vital to our well-being.

Since 1953 more than 50 new programs have been placed in the

Public Health Service. Its budget over the past 12 years has

increased tenfold - from $250 million to $2.4 billion.

Today the organization of the Public Health Service is clearly

obsolete. The requirement that new and expanding programs be

administered through an organizational structure established by law

more than two decades ago stands as a major obstacle to the

fulfillment of our Nation's health goals.

As presently constituted, the Public Health Service is composed

of four major components:

National Institutes of Health.

Bureau of State Services.

Bureau of Medical Services.

Office of the Surgeon General.

Under present law, Public Health Service functions must be assigned

only to these four components.

This structure was designed to provide separate administrative

arrangements for health research, programs of State and local aid,

health services, and executive staff resources. At a time when

these functions could be neatly compartmentalized, the structure

was adequate. But today the situation is different.

Under recent legislation many new programs provide for an

integrated attack on specific disease problems or health hazards in

the environment by combining health services, State and local aid,

and research. Each new program of this type necessarily is assigned

to one of the three operating components of the Public Health

Service. Yet none of these components is intended to administer

programs involving such a variety of approaches.

Our health problems are difficult enough without having them

complicated by outmoded organizational arrangements.

But if we merely take the step of integrating the four agencies

within the Public Health Service we will not go far enough. More is

required.

III

The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare performs major

health or health-related functions which are not carried out

through the Public Health Service, although they are closely

related to its functions. Among these are:

Health insurance for the aged, administered through the Social

Security Administration;

Medical assistance for the needy, administered through the

Welfare Administration;

Regulation of the manufacture, labeling, and distribution of

drugs, carried out through the Food and Drug Administration; and

Grants-in-aid to States for vocational rehabilitation of the

handicapped, administered by the Vocational Rehabilitation

Administration.

Expenditures for health and health-related programs of the

Department administered outside the Public Health Service have

increased from $44 million in 1953 to an estimated $5.4 billion in

1967.

As the head of the Department, the Secretary of Health,

Education, and Welfare is responsible for the Administration and

coordination of all the Department's health functions. He has clear

authority over the programs I have just mentioned.

But today he lacks this essential authority over the Public

Health Service. The functions of that agency are vested in the

Surgeon General and not in the Secretary.

This diffusion of responsibility is unsound and unwise.

To secure the highest possible level of health services for the

American people the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare

must be given the authority to establish - and modify as necessary

- the organizational structure for Public Health Service programs.

He must also have the authority to coordinate health functions

throughout the Department. The reorganization plan I propose will

accomplish these purposes. It will provide the Secretary with the

flexibility to create new and responsive organizational

arrangements to keep pace with the changing and dynamic nature of

our health programs.

My views in this respect follow a basic principle of good

government set by the Hoover Commission in 1949 when it recommended

that "the Department head should be given authority to determine

the organization within his Department."

IV

In summary, the reorganization plan would:

Transfer to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare the

functions now vested in the Surgeon General of the Public Health

Service and in its various subordinate units (this transfer will

not affect certain statutory advisory bodies such as the National

Advisory Cancer and Heart Councils);

Abolish the four principal statutory components of the Public

Health Service, including the offices held by their heads (the

Bureau of Medical Services, the Bureau of State Services, the

National Institutes of Health exclusive of its several research

institutes such as the National Cancer and Heart Institutes, and

the Office of the Surgeon General); and

Authorize the Secretary to assign the functions transferred to

him by the plan to officials and entities of the Public Health

Service and to other agencies of the Department as he deems

appropriate.

Thus, the Secretary would be -

Enabled to assure that all health functions of the Department

are carried out as effectively and economically as possible;

Given authority commensurate with his responsibility; and

Made responsible in fact for matters for which he is now, in

any case, held accountable by the President, the Congress, and

the people.

V

I have found, after investigation, that each reorganization

included in the accompanying reorganization plan is necessary to

accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of

the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended.

Should the reorganizations in the accompanying reorganization

plan take effect, they will make possible more effective and

efficient administration of the affected health programs. It is,

however, not practicable at this time to itemize the reductions in

expenditures which may result.

I strongly recommend that the Congress allow the reorganization

plan to become effective.

(ii) was on such active duty continuously for not less than one

year immediately prior to such date, and (iii) applies for

appointment to the Regular Corps prior to July 1, 1962; or

(B) does not come within clause (A)(i) and (ii) but was on

active duty in the Reserve Corps continuously for not less than

one year immediately prior to his appointment to the Regular

Corps and has not served on active duty continuously for a

period, occurring after June 30, 1960, of more than three and

one-half years prior to applying for such appointment.

is entitled to credit under any other provision of law if such

service exceeds that to which he would be entitled under such

paragraph.

(3) For purposes of promotion, any person originally appointed in

the Regular Corps to the senior assistant grade or above who has

had active service in the Reserve Corps shall be considered as

having had on the date of appointment the length of service

provided for in paragraph (1) of this subsection, plus whichever of

the following is greater: (A) The excess of his total active

service in the Reserve Corps (above the grade of junior assistant)

over the length of service provided in such paragraph, to the

extent that such excess is on account of service in the Reserve

Corps in or above the grade to which he is appointed in the Regular

Corps or (B) his active service in the same or any higher grade in

the Reserve Corps after the first day on which, under regulations

in effect on the date of his appointment to the Regular Corps, he

would have had the training and experience necessary for such

appointment.

(4) For purposes of promotion, any person whose original

appointment is to the assistant grade in the Regular Corps shall be

considered as having had on the date of appointment service equal

to his total active service in the Reserve Corps in and above the

assistant grade.

(e) Reappointment; credit for service

(1) A former officer of the Regular Corps may, if application for

appointment is made within two years after the date of the

termination of his prior commission in the Regular Corps, be

reappointed to the Regular Corps without examination, except as the

Surgeon General may otherwise prescribe, and without regard to the

numerical limitations of subsection (b) of this section.

(2) Reappointments pursuant to this subsection may be made to the

permanent grade held by the former officer at the time of the

termination of his prior commission, or to the next higher grade if

such officer meets the eligibility requirements prescribed by

regulation for original appointment to such higher grade. For

purposes of pay, promotion, and seniority in grade, such

reappointed officer shall receive the credits for service to which

he would be entitled if such appointment were an original

appointment, but in no event less than the credits he held at the

time his prior commission was terminated, except that if such

officer is reappointed to the next higher grade he shall receive no

credit for seniority in grade.

subsection unless he shall meet such standards as the Secretary may

In subsec. (f), the words "and their compensation may be fixed

without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended", and

in subsec. (g), the words "and compensated without regard to the

Classification Act of 1923, as amended" were omitted as obsolete.

Sections 1202 and 1204 of the Classification Act of 1949, 63 Stat.

972, 973, repealed the 1923 Act and all laws or parts of laws

inconsistent with the 1949 Act. While section 1106(a) of the 1949

Act provided that references in other laws to the 1923 Act should

be held and considered to mean the 1949 Act, it did not have the

effect of continuing the exceptions contained in subsecs. (f) and

(g) because of section 1106(b) which provided that the application

of the 1949 Act to any position, officer, or employee shall not be

affected by section 1106(a). The Classification Act of 1949 was

repealed by Pub. L. 89-554, Sept. 6, 1966, Sec. 8(a), 80 Stat. 632

(of which section 1 revised and enacted Title 5, Government

Organization and Employees, into law). Section 5102 of Title 5

contains the applicability provisions of the 1949 Act, and section

5103 of Title 5 authorizes the Office of Personnel Management to

determine the applicability to specific positions and employees.

In subsec. (h), the references to subsections (f) and (g) of this

For the purpose of establishing eligibility of officers of the

Regular Corps for promotions, the Surgeon General shall by

regulation divide the corps into professional categories. Each

category shall, as far as practicable, be based upon one of the

subjects of examination set forth in section 209(a)(1) of this

title or upon a subdivision of such subject, and the categories

shall be designed to group officers by fields of training in such

manner that officers in any one grade in any one category will be

available for similar duty in the discharge of the several

functions of the Service.

(b) Assignment of officers

Each officer of the Regular Corps on active duty shall, on the

basis of his training and experience, be assigned by the Surgeon

General to one of the categories established by regulations under

subsection (a) of this section. Except upon amendment of such

regulations, no assignment so made shall be changed unless the

Surgeon General finds (1) that the original assignment was

erroneous, or (2) that the officer is equally well qualified to

serve in another category to which he has requested to be

transferred, and that such transfer is in the interests of the

Service.

(c) Maximum number of officers in each category

Within the limits fixed by the Secretary in regulations under

section 207(d) of this title for any fiscal year, the Surgeon

General shall determine for each category in the Regular Corps the

maximum number of officers authorized to be in each of the grades

from the warrant officer (W-1) grade to the director grade,

inclusive.

(d) Vacancies in grade for purposes of promotion

The excess of the number so fixed for any grade in any category

over the number of officers of the Regular Corps on active duty in

such grade in such category (including in the case of the director

grade, officers holding such grade in accordance with section

207(c) of this title) shall for the purpose of promotions

constitute vacancies in such grade in such category. For purposes

of this subsection, an officer who has been temporarily promoted or

who is temporarily holding the grade of director in accordance with

section 207(c) of this title shall be deemed to hold the grade to

which so promoted or which he is temporarily holding; but while he

holds such promotion or grade, and while any officer is temporarily

assigned to a position pursuant to section 206(c) of this title,

the number fixed under subsection (c) of this section for the grade

of his permanent rank shall be reduced by one.

(e) Absence of vacancy in grade as affecting promotion

The absence of a vacancy in a grade in a category shall not

prevent an appointment to such grade pursuant to section 209 of

this title, a permanent length of service promotion, or the recall

of a retired officer to active duty; but the making of such an

appointment, promotion, or recall shall be deemed to fill a vacancy

if one exists.

(f) Vacancy in grade as affecting maximum number for each category

Whenever a vacancy exists in any grade in a category the Surgeon

General may increase by one the number fixed by him under

subsection (c) of this section for the next lower grade in the same

category, without regard to the numbers fixed in regulations under

section 207(d) of this title; and in that event the vacancy in the

higher grade shall not be filled except by a permanent promotion,

and upon the making of such promotion the number for the next lower

grade shall be reduced by one.

CHAPTER 6A - PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE

SUBCHAPTER I - ADMINISTRATION AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Part A - Administration

-HEAD-

Sec. 211. Promotion of commissioned officers

-STATUTE-

(a) Permanent or temporary promotions; examination

Promotions of officers of the Regular Corps to any grade up to

and including the director grade shall be either permanent

promotions based on length of service, other permanent promotions

to fill vacancies, or temporary promotions. Permanent promotions

shall be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent

of the Senate, and temporary promotions shall be made by the

President. Each permanent promotion shall be to the next higher

grade, and shall be made only after examination given in accordance

with regulations of the President.

(b) Promotion to certain grades only to fill vacancies;

regulations; "restricted grade" defined

The President may by regulation provide that in a specified

professional category permanent promotions to the senior grade, or

to both the full grade and the senior grade, shall be made only if

there are vacancies in such grade. A grade in any category with

respect to which such regulations have been issued is referred to

in this section as a "restricted grade".

(c) Examinations

Examinations to determine qualification for permanent promotions

may be either noncompetitive or competitive, as the Surgeon General

shall in each case determine; except that examinations for

promotions to the assistant or senior assistant grade shall in all

cases be noncompetitive. The officers to be examined shall be

selected by the Surgeon General from the professional category, and

in the order of seniority in the grade, from which promotion is to

be recommended. In the case of a competitive examination the

Surgeon General shall determine in advance of the examination the

number (which may be one or more) of officers who, after passing

the examination, will be recommended to the President for

promotion; but if the examination is one for promotions based on

length of service, or is one for promotions to fill vacancies other

than vacancies in the director grade or in a restricted grade, such

number shall not be less than 80 per centum of the number of

officers to be examined.

(d) Permanent promotions to qualified officers on length of service

Officers of the Regular Corps, found pursuant to subsection (c)

of this section to be qualified, shall be given permanent

promotions based on length of service, as follows:

(1) Officers in the warrant officer (W-1) grade, chief warrant

officer (W-2) grade, chief warrant officer (W-3) grade, chief

warrant officer (W-4) grade, and junior assistant grade shall be

promoted at such times as may be prescribed in regulations of the

President.

(2) Officers with permanent rank in the assistant grade, the

senior assistant grade, and the full grade shall (except as

provided in regulations under subsection (b) of this section) be

promoted after completion of three, ten, and seventeen years,

respectively, of service in grades above the junior assistant

grade; and such promotions, when made, shall be effective, for

purposes of pay and seniority in grade, as of the day following

the completion of such years of service. An officer with

permanent rank in the assistant, senior assistant, or full grade

who has not completed such years of service shall be promoted at

the same time, and his promotion shall be effective as of the

same day, as any officer junior to him in the same grade in the

same professional category who is promoted under this paragraph.

(e) Promotion of professional category officers to fill certain

vacancies

Officers in a professional category of the Regular Corps, found

pursuant to subsection (c) of this section to be qualified, may be

given permanent promotions to fill any or all vacancies in such

category in the senior assistant grade, the full grade, the senior

grade, or the director grade; but no officer who has not had one

year of service with permanent or temporary rank in the next lower

grade shall be promoted to any restricted grade or to the director

grade.

(f) Reexamination upon failure of promotion; effective date of

promotion

If an officer who has completed the years of service required for

promotion to a grade under paragraph (2) of subsection (d) of this

section fails to receive such promotion, he shall (unless he has

already been twice examined for promotion to such grade) be once

reexamined for promotion to such grade. If he is thereupon promoted

(otherwise than under subsection (e) of this section), the

effective date of such promotion shall be one year later than it

would have been but for such failure. Upon the effective date of

any permanent promotion of such officer to such grade, he shall be

considered as having had only the length of service required for

such promotion which he previously failed to receive.

(g) Separation from service upon failure of promotion

If, for reasons other than physical disability, an officer of the

Regular Corps in the warrant officer (W-1) grade or junior

assistant grade is found pursuant to subsection (c) of this section

not to be qualified for promotion he shall be separated from the

Service. If, for reasons other than physical disability, an officer

of the Regular Corps in the chief warrant officer (W-2), chief

warrant officer (W-3), assistant, senior assistant, or full grade,

after having been twice examined for promotion (other than

promotion to a restricted grade), fails to be promoted -

(1) if in the chief warrant officer (W-2) or assistant grade he

shall be separated from the Service and paid six months' basic

pay and allowances;

(2) if in the chief warrant officer (W-3) or senior assistant

grade he shall be separated from the Service and paid one year's

basic pay and allowances;

(3) if in the full grade he shall be considered as not in line

for promotion and shall, at such time thereafter as the Surgeon

General may determine, be retired from the Service with retired

pay (unless he is entitled to a greater amount by reason of

another provision of law) -

(A) in the case of an officer who first became a member of a

uniformed service before September 8, 1980, at the rate of 2

1/2 percent of the retired pay base determined under section

1406(h) of title 10 for each year, not in excess of 30, of his

active commissioned service in the Service; or

(B) in the case of an officer who first became a member of a

uniformed service on or after September 8, 1980, at the rate

determined by multiplying -

(i) the retired pay base determined under section 1407 of

title 10; by

(ii) the retired pay multiplier determined under section

1409 of such title for the number of years of his active

commissioned service in the Service.

(h) Separation from service upon refusal to stand examination

If an officer of the Regular Corps, eligible to take an

examination for promotion, refuses to take such examination, he may

be separated from the Service in accordance with regulations of the

President.

(i) Review of record; separation from service

At the end of his first three years of service, the record of

each officer of the Regular Corps originally appointed to the

senior assistant grade or above, shall be reviewed in accordance

with regulations of the President and, if found not qualified for

further service, he shall be separated from the Service and paid

six months' pay and allowances.

(j) Determination of order of seniority

(1) The order of seniority of officers in a grade in the Regular

Corps shall be determined, subject to the provisions of paragraph

(2) of this subsection, by the relative length of time spent in

active service after the effective date of each such officer's

original appointment or permanent promotion to that grade. When

permanent promotions of two or more officers to the same grade are

effective on the same day, their relative seniority shall be the

same as it was in the grade from which promoted. In all other cases

of original appointments or permanent promotions (or both) to the

same grade effective on the same day, relative seniority shall be

determined in accordance with regulations of the President.

(2) In the case of an officer originally appointed in the Regular

Corps to the grade of assistant or above, his seniority in the

grade to which appointed shall be determined after inclusion, as

service in such grade, of any active service in such grade or in

any higher grade in the Reserve Corps, but (if the appointment is

to the grade of senior assistant or above) only to the extent of

whichever of the following is greater: (A) His active service in

such grade or any higher grade in the Reserve Corps after the first

day on which, under regulations in effect on the date of his

appointment to the Regular Corps, he had the training and

experience necessary for such appointment, or (B) the excess of his

total active service in the Reserve Corps (above the grade of

junior assistant) over three years if his appointment in the

Regular Corps is to the senior assistant grade, over ten years if

the appointment is to the full grade, or over seventeen years if

the appointment is to the senior grade.

(k) Temporary promotions; fill vacancy in higher grade; war or

national emergency; selection of officers; termination of

appointment

Any commissioned officer of the Regular Corps in any grade in any

professional category may be recommended to the President for

temporary promotion to fill a vacancy in any higher grade in such

category, up to and including the director grade. In time of war,

or of national emergency proclaimed by the President, any

commissioned officer of the Regular Corps in any grade in any

professional category may be recommended to the President for

promotion to any higher grade in such category, up to and including

the director grade, whether or not a vacancy exists in such grade.

The selection of officers to be recommended for temporary

promotions shall be made in accordance with regulations of the

President. Promotion of an officer recommended pursuant to this

subsection may be made without regard to length of service, without

examination, and without vacating his permanent appointment, and

shall carry with it the pay and allowances of the grade to which

promoted. Such promotions may be terminated at any time, as may be

directed by the President.

(l) Determination of requirements of Service by Secretary;

assignment of Reserve Officers to professional categories;

temporary promotions; termination of temporary promotions

Whenever the number of officers of the Regular Corps on active

duty, plus the number of officers of the Reserve Corps who have

been on active duty for thirty days or more, exceeds the authorized

strength of the Regular Corps, the Secretary shall determine the

requirements of the Service in each grade in each category, based

upon the total number of officers so serving on active duty and the

tasks being performed by the Service; and the Surgeon General shall

thereupon assign each officer of the Reserve Corps on active duty

to a professional category. If the Secretary finds that the number

of officers fixed under section 210b(c) of this title for any grade

and category (or the number of officers, including officers of the

Reserve Corps, on active duty in such grade in such category, if

such number is greater than the number fixed under section 210b(c)

of this title) is insufficient to meet such requirements of the

Service, officers of either the Regular Corps or the Reserve Corps

may be recommended for temporary promotion to such grade in such

category. Any such promotion may be terminated at any time, as may

be directed by the President.

(m) Acceptance of promotion; oath and affidavit

Any officer of the Regular Corps, or any officer of the Reserve

Corps on active duty, who is promoted to a higher grade shall,

unless he expressly declines such promotion, be deemed for all

purposes to have accepted such promotion; and shall not be required

to renew his oath of office, or to execute a new affidavit as

required by section 3332 of title 5.

-STATUTE-

(a) Age; voluntariness; length of service; computation of retired

pay

(1) A commissioned officer of the Service shall, if he applies

for retirement, be retired on or after the first day of the month

following the month in which he attains the age of sixty-four

years. This paragraph does not permit or require the involuntary

retirement of any individual because of the age of the individual.

(2) A commissioned officer of the Service may be retired by the

Secretary, and shall be retired if he applies for retirement, on

the first day of any month after completion of thirty years of

active service.

(3) Any commissioned officer of the Service who has had less than

thirty years of active service may be retired by the Secretary,

with or without application by the officer, on the first day of any

month after completion of twenty or more years of active service of

which not less than ten are years of active commissioned service in

any of the uniformed services.

(4) Except as provided in paragraph (6), a commissioned officer

retired pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), or (3) who was (in the case

of an officer in the Reserve Corps) on active duty with the Service

on the day preceding such retirement shall be entitled to receive

retired pay at the rate of 2 1/2 per centum of the basic pay of

the highest grade held by him as such officer and in which, in the

case of a temporary promotion to such grade, he has performed

active duty for not less than six months, (A) for each year of

active service, or (B) if it results in higher retired pay, for

each of the following years:

(i) his years of active service (determined without regard to

subsection (d) of this section) as a member of a uniformed

service; plus

(ii) in the case of a medical or dental officer, four years

and, in the case of a medical officer, who has completed one year

of medical internship or the equivalent thereof, one additional

year, the four years and the one year to be reduced by the period

of active service performed during such officer's attendance at

medical school or dental school or during his medical internship;

plus

(iii) the number of years of service with which he was entitled

to be credited for purposes of basic pay on May 31, 1958, or (if

higher) on any date prior thereto, reduced by any such year

included under clause (i) and further reduced by any such year

with which he was entitled to be credited under paragraphs (7)

and (8) of section 205(a) of title 37 on any date before June 1,

1958;

except that (C) in the case of any officer whose retired pay, so

computed, is less than 50 per centum of such basic pay, who retires

pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection, who has not less than

twelve whole years of active service (computed without the

application of subsection (e) of this section), and who does not

use, for purposes of a retirement annuity under subchapter III of

chapter 83 of title 5, any service which is also creditable in

computing his retired pay from the Service, it shall, instead, be

50 per centum of such pay, and (D) the retired pay of an officer

shall in no case be more than 75 per centum of such basic pay.

(5) With the approval of the President, a commissioned officer

whose service as Surgeon General, Deputy Surgeon General, or

Assistant Surgeon General has totaled four years or more and who

has had not less than twenty-five years of active service in the

Service may retire voluntarily at any time; and except as provided

in paragraph (6), his retired pay shall be at the rate of 75 per

centum of the basic pay of the highest grade held by him as such

officer.

(6) The retired pay of a commissioned officer retired under this

subsection who first became a member of a uniformed service after

September 7, 1980, is determined by multiplying -

(A) the retired pay base determined under section 1407 of title

10; by

(B) the retired pay multiplier determined under section 1409 of

such title for the number of years of service credited to the

officer under paragraph (4).

(7) Retired pay computed under section 211(g)(3) of this title or

under paragraph (4) or (5) of this subsection, if not a multiple of

$1, shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of $1.

(b) Basic pay of highest temporary grade

For purposes of subsection (a) of this section, the basic pay of

the highest grade to which a commissioned officer has received a

temporary promotion means the basic pay to which he would be

entitled if serving on active duty in such grade on the date of his

retirement.

(c) Recall to active duty

A commissioned officer, retired for reasons other than for

failure of promotion to the senior grade, may (1) if an officer of

the Regular Corps or an officer of the Reserve Corps entitled to

retired pay under subsection (a) of this section, be involuntarily

recalled to active duty during such times as the Commissioned Corps

constitutes a branch of the land or naval forces of the United

States, and (2) if an officer of either the Regular or Reserve

Corps, be recalled to active duty at any time with his consent.

(d) "Active service" defined

The term "active service", as used in subsection (a) of this

section, includes:

(1) all active service in any of the uniformed services;

(2) active service with the Public Health Service, other than

as a commissioned officer, which the Surgeon General determines

is comparable to service performed by commissioned officers of

the Service, except that, if there are more than five years of

such service only the last five years thereof may be included;

(3) all active service (other than service included under the

preceding provisions of this subsection) which is creditable for

retirement purposes under laws governing the retirement of

members of any of the uniformed services; and

(4) service performed as a member of the Senior Biomedical

Research Service established by section 237 of this title, except

that, if there are more than 5 years of such service, only the

last 5 years thereof may be included.

(e) Crediting of part of year

For the purpose of determining the number of years by which a

percentage of the basic pay of an officer is to be multiplied in

computing the amount of his retired pay pursuant to section

211(g)(3) of this title or paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this

section, each full month of service that is in addition to the

number of full years of service credited to an officer is counted

as one-twelfth of a year and any remaining fractional part of a

month is disregarded.

(f) Retirement or separation for physical disability

For purposes of retirement or separation for physical disability

under chapter 61 of title 10, a commissioned officer of the Service

shall be credited, in addition to the service described in section

1208(a)(2) of that title, with active service with the Public

Health Service, other than as a commissioned officer, which the

Surgeon General determines is comparable to service performed by

commissioned officers of the Service, except that, if there are

more than five years of such service, only the last five years

thereof may be so credited. For such purposes, such section

1208(a)(2) shall be applicable to officers of the Regular or

Reserve Corps of the Service.

Service (other than an officer who retires under section 211 of the

Public Health Service Act [section 212 of this title] after his

election but prior to his transfer pursuant to this paragraph and

paragraph (2)) who, upon the day before the effective date of

subsection referred to as the 'plan'), is serving as such officer

(A) primarily in the performance of functions transferred by such

plan to the Environmental Protection Agency or its Administrator

(hereinafter in this subsection referred to as the 'Agency' and the

'Administrator,' respectively), may, if such officer so elects,

acquire competitive status and be transferred to a competitive

position in the Agency; or (B) primarily in the performance of

functions determined by the Secretary of Health, Education, and

Welfare (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as the

'Secretary') to be materially related to the functions so

transferred, may, if authorized by agreement between the Secretary

and the Administrator, and if such officer so elects, acquire such

status and be so transferred.

"(2) An election pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be effective

only if made in accordance with such procedures as may be

prescribed by the Civil Service Commission (A) before the close of

the 24th month after the effective date of the plan [Dec. 2, 1970],

or (B) in the case of a commissioned officer who would be liable

for training and service under the Military Selective Service Act

of 1967 [section 451 et seq. of Title 50, App., War and National

Defense] but for the operation of section 6(b)(3) thereof (50

U.S.C. App. 456(b)(3)), before (if it occurs later than the close

of such 24th month) the close of the 90th day after the day upon

which he has completed his 24th month of service as such officer.

"(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), any commissioned

officer of the Public Health Service who, pursuant to paragraphs

(1) and (2), elects to transfer to a position in the Agency which

is subject to chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 of title

5, United States Code (hereinafter in this subsection referred to

General Schedule grade of such position which is not less than the

sum of the following amounts computed as of the day preceding the

date of such election:

"(i) the basic pay, the special pay, the continuation pay, and

the subsistence and quarters allowances, to which he is annually

entitled as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service

pursuant to title 37, United States Code;

"(ii) the amount of Federal income tax, as determined by

estimate of the Secretary, which the transferring officer, had he

remained a commissioned officer, would have been required to pay

on his subsistence and quarters allowances for the taxable year

then current if they had not been tax free;

"(iii) an amount equal to the biweekly average cost of the

coverages designated 'high option, self and family' under the

Government-wide Federal employee health benefits programs plans,

multiplied by twenty-six; and

"(iv) an amount equal to 7 per centum of the sum of the amounts

determined under clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive.

"(B) A transferring officer shall in no event receive, pursuant

to subparagraph (A), a pay rate in excess of the maximum rate

applicable under the General Schedule to the class of position, as

established under chapter 51 of title 5, United States Code, to

which such officer is transferred pursuant to paragraphs (1) and

(2).

"(4)(A) A transferring officer shall be credited, on the day of

his transfer pursuant to his election under paragraphs (1) and (2),

with one hour of sick leave for each week of active service, as

defined by section 211(d) of the Public Health Service Act [section

212(d) of this title].

"(B) The annual leave to the credit of a transferring officer on

the day before the day of his transfer, shall, on such day of

transfer, be transferred to his credit in the Agency on an adjusted

basis under regulations prescribed by the Civil Service Commission.

The portion of such leave, if any, that is in excess of the sum of

(i) 240 hours, and (ii) the number of hours that have accrued to

the credit of the transferring officer during the calendar year

then current and which remain unused, shall thereafter remain to

his credit until used, and shall be reduced in the manner described

by subsection (c) of section 6304 of title 5, United States Code.

"(5) A transferring officer who is required to change his

official station as a result of his transfer under this subsection

shall be paid such travel, transportation, and related expenses and

allowances, as would be provided pursuant to subchapter II of

chapter 57 of title 5, United States Code, in the case of a

civilian employee so transferred in the interest of the Government.

Such officer shall not (either at the time of such transfer or upon

a subsequent separation from the competitive service) be deemed to

have separated from, or changed permanent station within, a

uniformed service for purposes of section 404 of title 37, United

States Code.

"(6) Each transferring officer who prior to January 1, 1958, was

insured pursuant to the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Act

of 1954, and who subsequently waived such insurance, shall be

entitled to become insured under chapter 87 of title 5, United

States Code, upon his transfer to the Agency regardless of age and

insurability.

"(7)(A) Effective as of the date a transferring officer acquires

competitive status as an employee of the Agency, there shall be

considered as the civilian service of such officer for all purposes

of chapter 83, title 5, United States Code, (i) his active service

as defined by section 211(d) of the Public Health Service Act

[section 212(d) of this title], or (ii) any period for which he

would have been entitled, upon his retirement as a commissioned

officer of the Public Health Service, to receive retired pay

pursuant to section 211(a)(4)(B) of such Act [section 212(a)(4)(B)

of this title]; however, no transferring officer may become

entitled to benefits under both subchapter III of such chapter and

title II of the Social Security Act [section 401 et seq. of this

title] based on service as such a commissioned officer performed

after 1956, but the individual (or his survivors) may irrevocably

elect to waive benefit credit for the service under one such law to

secure credit under the other.

"(B) A transferring officer on whose behalf a deposit is required

to be made by subparagraph (C) and who, after transfer to a

competitive position in the Agency under paragraphs (1) and (2), is

separated from Federal service or transfers to a position not

covered by subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, United States

Code, shall not be entitled, nor shall his survivors be entitled,

to a refund of any amount deposited on his behalf in accordance

with this section. In the event he transfers, after transfer under

paragraphs (1) and (2), to a position covered by another Government

staff requirement system under which credit is allowable for

service with respect to which a deposit is required under

subparagraph (C), no credit shall be allowed under such subchapter

III with respect to such service.

"(C) The Secretary shall deposit in the Treasury of the United

States to the credit of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability

Fund, on behalf of and to the credit of such transferring officer,

an amount equal to that which such individual would be required to

deposit in such fund to cover the years of service credited to him

for purposes of his retirement under subparagraph (A), had such

service been service as an employee as defined in section 8331(1)

of title 5, United States Code. The amount so required to be

deposited with respect to any transferring officer shall be

computed on the basis of the sum of each of the amounts described

in paragraph (3)(A) which were received by, or accrued to the

benefit of, such officer during the years so credited. The deposits

which the Secretary is required to make under this subparagraph

with respect to any transferring officer shall be made within two

years after the date of his transfer as provided in paragraphs (1)

and (2), and the amounts due under this subparagraph shall include

interest computed from the period of service credited to the date

of payment in accordance with section 8334(e) of title 5, United

States Code.

"(8)(A) A commissioned officer of the Public Health Service, who,

upon the day before the effective date of the plan, is on active

service therewith primarily assigned to the performance of

functions described in paragraph (1)(A), shall, while he remains in

active service, as defined by section 211(d) of the Public Health

Service Act [section 212(d) of this title], be assigned to the

performance of duties with the Agency, except as the Secretary and

the Administrator may jointly otherwise provide."

Sec. 233. Civil actions or proceedings against commissioned

officers or employees

-STATUTE-

(a) Exclusiveness of remedy

The remedy against the United States provided by sections 1346(b)

and 2672 of title 28, or by alternative benefits provided by the

United States where the availability of such benefits precludes a

remedy under section 1346(b) of title 28, for damage for personal

injury, including death, resulting from the performance of medical,

surgical, dental, or related functions, including the conduct of

clinical studies or investigation, by any commissioned officer or

employee of the Public Health Service while acting within the scope

of his office or employment, shall be exclusive of any other civil

action or proceeding by reason of the same subject-matter against

the officer or employee (or his estate) whose act or omission gave

rise to the claim.

(b) Attorney General to defend action or proceeding; delivery of

process to designated official; furnishing of copies of pleading

and process to United States attorney, Attorney General, and

Secretary

The Attorney General shall defend any civil action or proceeding

brought in any court against any person referred to in subsection

(a) of this section (or his estate) for any such damage or injury.

Any such person against whom such civil action or proceeding is

brought shall deliver within such time after date of service or

knowledge of service as determined by the Attorney General, all

process served upon him or an attested true copy thereof to his

immediate superior or to whomever was designated by the Secretary

to receive such papers and such person shall promptly furnish

copies of the pleading and process therein to the United States

attorney for the district embracing the place wherein the

proceeding is brought, to the Attorney General, and to the

Secretary.

(c) Removal to United States district court; procedure; proceeding

upon removal deemed a tort action against United States; hearing

on motion to remand to determine availability of remedy against

United States; remand to State court or dismissal

Upon a certification by the Attorney General that the defendant

was acting in the scope of his employment at the time of the

incident out of which the suit arose, any such civil action or

proceeding commenced in a State court shall be removed without bond

at any time before trial by the Attorney General to the district

court of the United States of the district and division embracing

the place wherein it is pending and the proceeding deemed a tort

action brought against the United States under the provisions of

title 28 and all references thereto. Should a United States

district court determine on a hearing on a motion to remand held

before a trial on the merit that the case so removed is one in

which a remedy by suit within the meaning of subsection (a) of this

section is not available against the United States, the case shall

be remanded to the State Court: Provided, That where such a remedy

is precluded because of the availability of a remedy through

proceedings for compensation or other benefits from the United

States as provided by any other law, the case shall be dismissed,

but in the event the running of any limitation of time for

commencing, or filing an application or claim in, such proceedings

for compensation or other benefits shall be deemed to have been

suspended during the pendency of the civil action or proceeding

under this section.

(d) Compromise or settlement of claim by Attorney General

The Attorney General may compromise or settle any claim asserted

in such civil action or proceeding in the manner provided in

section 2677 of title 28 and with the same effect.

(e) Assault or battery

For purposes of this section, the provisions of section 2680(h)

of title 28 shall not apply to assault or battery arising out of

negligence in the performance of medical, surgical, dental, or

related functions, including the conduct of clinical studies or

investigations.

(f) Authority of Secretary or designee to hold harmless or provide

liability insurance for assigned or detailed employees

The Secretary or his designee may, to the extent that he deems

appropriate, hold harmless or provide liability insurance for any

officer or employee of the Public Health Service for damage for

personal injury, including death, negligently caused by such

officer or employee while acting within the scope of his office or

employment and as a result of the performance of medical, surgical,

dental, or related functions, including the conduct of clinical

studies or investigations, if such employee is assigned to a

foreign country or detailed to a State or political subdivision

thereof or to a non-profit institution, and if the circumstances

are such as are likely to preclude the remedies of third persons

against the United States described in section 2679(b) of title 28,

for such damage or injury.

(g) Exclusivity of remedy against United States for entities deemed

Public Health Service employees; coverage for services furnished

to individuals other than center patients; application process;

subrogation of medical malpractice claims; applicable period;

entity and contractor defined

(1)(A) For purposes of this section and subject to the approval

by the Secretary of an application under subparagraph (D), an

entity described in paragraph (4), and any officer, governing board

member, or employee of such an entity, and any contractor of such

an entity who is a physician or other licensed or certified health

care practitioner (subject to paragraph (5)), shall be deemed to be

an employee of the Public Health Service for a calendar year that

begins during a fiscal year for which a transfer was made under

subsection (k)(3) of this section (subject to paragraph (3)). The

remedy against the United States for an entity described in

paragraph (4) and any officer, governing board member, employee, or

contractor (subject to paragraph (5)) of such an entity who is

deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service pursuant to

this paragraph shall be exclusive of any other civil action or

proceeding to the same extent as the remedy against the United

States is exclusive pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.

(B) The deeming of any entity or officer, governing board member,

employee, or contractor of the entity to be an employee of the

Public Health Service for purposes of this section shall apply with

respect to services provided -

(i) to all patients of the entity, and

(ii) subject to subparagraph (C), to individuals who are not

patients of the entity.

(C) Subparagraph (B)(ii) applies to services provided to

individuals who are not patients of an entity if the Secretary

determines, after reviewing an application submitted under

subparagraph (D), that the provision of the services to such

individuals -

(i) benefits patients of the entity and general populations

that could be served by the entity through community-wide

intervention efforts within the communities served by such

entity;

(ii) facilitates the provision of services to patients of the

entity; or

(iii) are otherwise required under an employment contract (or

similar arrangement) between the entity and an officer, governing

board member, employee, or contractor of the entity.

(D) The Secretary may not under subparagraph (A) deem an entity

or an officer, governing board member, employee, or contractor of

the entity to be an employee of the Public Health Service for

purposes of this section, and may not apply such deeming to

services described in subparagraph (B)(ii), unless the entity has

submitted an application for such deeming to the Secretary in such

form and such manner as the Secretary shall prescribe. The

application shall contain detailed information, along with

supporting documentation, to verify that the entity, and the

officer, governing board member, employee, or contractor of the

entity, as the case may be, meets the requirements of subparagraphs

(B) and (C) of this paragraph and that the entity meets the

requirements of paragraphs (1) through (4) of subsection (h) of

this section.

(E) The Secretary shall make a determination of whether an entity

or an officer, governing board member, employee, or contractor of

the entity is deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service

for purposes of this section within 30 days after the receipt of an

application under subparagraph (D). The determination of the

Secretary that an entity or an officer, governing board member,

employee, or contractor of the entity is deemed to be an employee

of the Public Health Service for purposes of this section shall

apply for the period specified by the Secretary under subparagraph

(A).

(F) Once the Secretary makes a determination that an entity or an

officer, governing board member, employee, or contractor of an

entity is deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service for

purposes of this section, the determination shall be final and

binding upon the Secretary and the Attorney General and other

parties to any civil action or proceeding. Except as provided in

subsection (i) of this section, the Secretary and the Attorney

General may not determine that the provision of services which are

the subject of such a determination are not covered under this

section.

(G) In the case of an entity described in paragraph (4) that has

not submitted an application under subparagraph (D):

(i) The Secretary may not consider the entity in making

estimates under subsection (k)(1) of this section.

(ii) This section does not affect any authority of the entity

to purchase medical malpractice liability insurance coverage with

Federal funds provided to the entity under section 254b, 254c,

254b(h), or 256a of this title.(!1)

(H) In the case of an entity described in paragraph (4) for which

an application under subparagraph (D) is in effect, the entity may,

through notifying the Secretary in writing, elect to terminate the

applicability of this subsection to the entity. With respect to

such election by the entity:

(i) The election is effective upon the expiration of the 30-day

period beginning on the date on which the entity submits such

notification.

(ii) Upon taking effect, the election terminates the

applicability of this subsection to the entity and each officer,

governing board member, employee, and contractor of the entity.

(iii) Upon the effective date for the election, clauses (i) and

(ii) of subparagraph (G) apply to the entity to the same extent

and in the same manner as such clauses apply to an entity that

has not submitted an application under subparagraph (D).

(iv) If after making the election the entity submits an

application under subparagraph (D), the election does not

preclude the Secretary from approving the application ( (!2) and

thereby restoring the applicability of this subsection to the

entity and each officer, governing board member, employee, and

contractor of the entity, subject to the provisions of this

subsection and the subsequent provisions of this section.

(2) If, with respect to an entity or person deemed to be an

employee for purposes of paragraph (1), a cause of action is

instituted against the United States pursuant to this section, any

claim of the entity or person for benefits under an insurance

policy with respect to medical malpractice relating to such cause

of action shall be subrogated to the United States.

(3) This subsection shall apply with respect to a cause of action

arising from an act or omission which occurs on or after January 1,

1993.

(4) An entity described in this paragraph is a public or

non-profit private entity receiving Federal funds under section

254b of this title.

(5) For purposes of paragraph (1), an individual may be

considered a contractor of an entity described in paragraph (4)

hours of service per week for the entity for the period of the

contract; or

(B) in the case of an individual who normally performs an

average of less than 32 1/2 hours of services per week for the

entity for the period of the contract, the individual is a

licensed or certified provider of services in the fields of

family practice, general internal medicine, general pediatrics,

or obstetrics and gynecology.

(h) Qualifications for designation as Public Health Service

employee

The Secretary may not approve an application under subsection

(g)(1)(D) of this section unless the Secretary determines that the

entity -

(1) has implemented appropriate policies and procedures to

reduce the risk of malpractice and the risk of lawsuits arising

out of any health or health-related functions performed by the

entity;

(2) has reviewed and verified the professional credentials,

references, claims history, fitness, professional review

organization findings, and license status of its physicians and

other licensed or certified health care practitioners, and, where

necessary, has obtained the permission from these individuals to

gain access to this information;

(3) has no history of claims having been filed against the

United States as a result of the application of this section to

the entity or its officers, employees, or contractors as provided

for under this section, or, if such a history exists, has fully

such claims and either has taken, or will take, any necessary

corrective steps to assure against such claims in the future; and

Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary, may on the

record determine, after notice and opportunity for a full and fair

hearing, that an individual physician or other licensed or

certified health care practitioner who is an officer, employee, or

contractor of an entity described in subsection (g)(4) of this

section shall not be deemed to be an employee of the Public Health

Service for purposes of this section, if treating such individual

as such an employee would expose the Government to an unreasonably

high degree of risk of loss because such individual -

(A) does not comply with the policies and procedures that the

entity has implemented pursuant to subsection (h)(1) of this

section;

(B) has a history of claims filed against him or her as

provided for under this section that is outside the norm for

medical licensing authority or a State or national professional

society.

(2) A final determination by the Attorney General under this

subsection that an individual physician or other licensed or

certified health care professional shall not be deemed to be an

employee of the Public Health Service shall be effective upon

receipt by the entity employing such individual of notice of such

determination, and shall apply only to acts or omissions occurring

after the date such notice is received.

(j) Remedy for denial of hospital admitting privileges to certain

health care providers

In the case of a health care provider who is an officer,

employee, or contractor of an entity described in subsection (g)(4)

of this section, section 254h(e) of this title shall apply with

respect to the provider to the same extent and in the same manner

as such section applies to any member of the National Health

Service Corps.

establishment of fund; transfer of funds to Treasury accounts

(1)(A) For each fiscal year, the Attorney General, in

consultation with the Secretary, shall estimate by the beginning of

the year the amount of all claims which are expected to arise under

this section (together with related fees and expenses of witnesses)

for which payment is expected to be made in accordance with section

1346 and chapter 171 of title 28 from the acts or omissions, during

the calendar year that begins during that fiscal year, of entities

described in subsection (g)(4) of this section and of officers,

employees, or contractors (subject to subsection (g)(5) of this

section) of such entities.

(B) The estimate under subparagraph (A) shall take into account -

(i) the value and frequency of all claims for damage for

personal injury, including death, resulting from the performance

of medical, surgical, dental, or related functions by entities

described in subsection (g)(4) of this section or by officers,

employees, or contractors (subject to subsection (g)(5) of this

section) of such entities who are deemed to be employees of the

Public Health Service under subsection (g)(1) of this section

that, during the preceding 5-year period, are filed under this

section or, with respect to years occurring before this

subsection takes effect, are filed against persons other than the

United States,

(ii) the amounts paid during that 5-year period on all claims

described in clause (i), regardless of when such claims were

filed, adjusted to reflect payments which would not be permitted

under section 1346 and chapter 171 of title 28, and

(iii) amounts in the fund established under paragraph (2) but

unspent from prior fiscal years.

(2) Subject to appropriations, for each fiscal year, the

Secretary shall establish a fund of an amount equal to the amount

estimated under paragraph (1) that is attributable to entities

receiving funds under each of the grant programs described in

paragraph (4) of subsection (g) of this section, but not to exceed

a total of $10,000,000 for each such fiscal year. Appropriations

for purposes of this paragraph shall be made separate from

appropriations made for purposes of sections 254b, 254c, 254b(h)

and 256a of this title.(!1)

(3) In order for payments to be made for judgments against the

United States (together with related fees and expenses of

witnesses) pursuant to this section arising from the acts or

omissions of entities described in subsection (g)(4) of this

section and of officers, governing board member,(!3) employees, or

contractors (subject to subsection (g)(5) of this section) of such

entities, the total amount contained within the fund established by

the Secretary under paragraph (2) for a fiscal year shall be

transferred not later than the December 31 that occurs during the

fiscal year to the appropriate accounts in the Treasury.

(l) Timely response to filing of action or proceeding

(1) If a civil action or proceeding is filed in a State court

against any entity described in subsection (g)(4) of this section

or any officer, governing board member, employee, or any contractor

of such an entity for damages described in subsection (a) of this

section, the Attorney General, within 15 days after being notified

of such filing, shall make an appearance in such court and advise

such court as to whether the Secretary has determined under

subsections (g) and (h) of this section, that such entity, officer,

governing board member, employee, or contractor of the entity is

deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service for purposes

of this section with respect to the actions or omissions that are

the subject of such civil action or proceeding. Such advice shall

be deemed to satisfy the provisions of subsection (c) of this

section that the Attorney General certify that an entity, officer,

governing board member, employee, or contractor of the entity was

acting within the scope of their employment or responsibility.

(2) If the Attorney General fails to appear in State court within

the time period prescribed under paragraph (1), upon petition of

any entity or officer, governing board member, employee, or

contractor of the entity named, the civil action or proceeding

shall be removed to the appropriate United States district court.

The civil action or proceeding shall be stayed in such court until

such court conducts a hearing, and makes a determination, as to the

appropriate forum or procedure for the assertion of the claim for

damages described in subsection (a) of this section and issues an

order consistent with such determination.

(m) Application of coverage to managed care plans

(1) An entity or officer, governing board member, employee, or

contractor of an entity described in subsection (g)(1) of this

section shall, for purposes of this section, be deemed to be an

employee of the Public Health Service with respect to services

provided to individuals who are enrollees of a managed care plan if

the entity contracts with such managed care plan for the provision

of services.

(2) Each managed care plan which enters into a contract with an

entity described in subsection (g)(4) of this section shall deem

the entity and any officer, governing board member, employee, or

contractor of the entity as meeting whatever malpractice coverage

requirements such plan may require of contracting providers for a

calendar year if such entity or officer, governing board member,

employee, or contractor of the entity has been deemed to be an

employee of the Public Health Service for purposes of this section

for such calendar year. Any plan which is found by the Secretary on

the record, after notice and an opportunity for a full and fair

hearing, to have violated this subsection shall upon such finding

cease, for a period to be determined by the Secretary, to receive

and to be eligible to receive any Federal funds under titles XVIII

or XIX of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq., 1396 et

seq.].

(3) For purposes of this subsection, the term "managed care plan"

the State in which the health care practitioner involved provides

the medical assistance. References in the preceding sentence to

such program shall as applicable be considered to be references to

any successor to such program.

(5) Subsection (g) of this section (other than paragraphs (3)

through (5)) and subsections (h), (i), and (l) of this section

apply to a health care practitioner for purposes of this subsection

(B) The Secretary shall establish a fund for purposes of this

subsection. Each fiscal year amounts appropriated under

much of the facility as constituted an approved project or projects

as the amount of the Federal participation bore to the cost of the

remodeling, construction, expansion, or acquisition of the project

or projects.

(2)(A) The interest that the United States is entitled to recover

under subsection (a) of this section is the interest for the period

The right of recovery of the United States under subsection (a)

of this section shall not, prior to judgment, constitute a lien on

any facility.

Sec. 238p. Recommendations and guidelines regarding automated

external defibrillators for Federal buildings

-STATUTE-

(a) Guidelines on placement

The Secretary shall establish guidelines with respect to placing

automated external defibrillator devices in Federal buildings. Such

guidelines shall take into account the extent to which such devices

may be used by lay persons, the typical number of employees and

visitors in the buildings, the extent of the need for security

measures regarding the buildings, buildings or portions of

buildings in which there are special circumstances such as high

electrical voltage or extreme heat or cold, and such other factors

as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

(b) Related recommendations

The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the

recommendations of the Secretary on the appropriate implementation

of the placement of automated external defibrillator devices under

subsection (a) of this section, including procedures for the

following:

(1) Implementing appropriate training courses in the use of

such devices, including the role of cardiopulmonary

resuscitation.

(2) Proper maintenance and testing of the devices.

(3) Ensuring coordination with appropriate licensed

professionals in the oversight of training of the devices.

(4) Ensuring coordination with local emergency medical systems

regarding the placement and incidents of use of the devices.

(c) Consultations; consideration of certain recommendations

In carrying out this section, the Secretary shall -

(1) consult with appropriate public and private entities;

(2) consider the recommendations of national and local

public-health organizations for improving the survival rates of

individuals who experience cardiac arrest in nonhospital settings

by minimizing the time elapsing between the onset of cardiac

arrest and the initial medical response, including defibrillation

as necessary; and

(3) consult with and counsel other Federal agencies where such

devices are to be used.

(d) Date certain for establishing guidelines and recommendations

The Secretary shall comply with this section not later than 180

days after November 13, 2000.

(e) Definitions

For purposes of this section:

(1) The term "automated external defibrillator device" has the

meaning given such term in section 238q of this title.

(2) The term "Federal building" includes a building or portion

of a building leased or rented by a Federal agency, and includes

buildings on military installations of the United States.

-MISC1-

FINDINGS

Pub. L. 106-505, title IV, Sec. 402, Nov. 13, 2000, 114 Stat.

2336, provided that: "Congress makes the following findings:

"(1) Over 700 lives are lost every day to sudden cardiac arrest

in the United States alone.

"(2) Two out of every three sudden cardiac deaths occur before

a victim can reach a hospital.

"(3) More than 95 percent of these cardiac arrest victims will

die, many because of lack of readily available life saving

medical equipment.

"(4) With current medical technology, up to 30 percent of

cardiac arrest victims could be saved if victims had access to

immediate medical response, including defibrillation and

cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"(5) Once a victim has suffered a cardiac arrest, every minute

that passes before returning the heart to a normal rhythm

decreases the chance of survival by 10 percent.

"(6) Most cardiac arrests are caused by abnormal heart rhythms

called ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation occurs

when the heart's electrical system malfunctions, causing a

chaotic rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping oxygen to the

victim's brain and body.

"(7) Communities that have implemented programs ensuring

widespread public access to defibrillators, combined with

appropriate training, maintenance, and coordination with local

emergency medical systems, have dramatically improved the

survival rates from cardiac arrest.

"(8) Automated external defibrillator devices have been

demonstrated to be safe and effective, even when used by lay

people, since the devices are designed not to allow a user to

administer a shock until after the device has analyzed a victim's

heart rhythm and determined that an electric shock is required.

"(9) Increasing public awareness regarding automated external

defibrillator devices and encouraging their use in Federal

buildings will greatly facilitate their adoption.

"(10) Limiting the liability of Good Samaritans and acquirers

of automated external defibrillator devices in emergency

situations may encourage the use of automated external

defibrillator devices, and result in saved lives."

CERTAIN TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES REGARDING SURVIVAL RATES FOR

CARDIAC ARREST

Pub. L. 106-129, Sec. 7, Dec. 6, 1999, 113 Stat. 1676, provided

that: "The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall, in

consultation with the Administrator of the General Services

Administration and other appropriate public and private entities,

develop recommendations regarding the placement of automatic

external defibrillators in Federal buildings as a means of

improving the survival rates of individuals who experience cardiac

arrest in such buildings, including recommendations on training,

maintenance, and medical oversight, and on coordinating with the

system for emergency medical services."

defibrillators

-STATUTE-

(a) Good Samaritan protections regarding AEDs

Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, any person

who uses or attempts to use an automated external defibrillator

device on a victim of a perceived medical emergency is immune from

civil liability for any harm resulting from the use or attempted

use of such device; and in addition, any person who acquired the

device is immune from such liability, if the harm was not due to

the failure of such acquirer of the device -

(1) to notify local emergency response personnel or other

appropriate entities of the most recent placement of the device

within a reasonable period of time after the device was placed;

(2) to properly maintain and test the device; or

(3) to provide appropriate training in the use of the device to

an employee or agent of the acquirer when the employee or agent

was the person who used the device on the victim, except that

such requirement of training does not apply if -

(A) the employee or agent was not an employee or agent who

would have been reasonably expected to use the device; or

(B) the period of time elapsing between the engagement of the

person as an employee or agent and the occurrence of the harm

(or between the acquisition of the device and the occurrence of

the harm, in any case in which the device was acquired after

such engagement of the person) was not a reasonably sufficient

period in which to provide the training.

(b) Inapplicability of immunity

Immunity under subsection (a) of this section does not apply to a

person if -

(1) the harm involved was caused by willful or criminal

misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or a

conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of the

victim who was harmed;

(2) the person is a licensed or certified health professional

who used the automated external defibrillator device while acting

within the scope of the license or certification of the

professional and within the scope of the employment or agency of

the professional;

(3) the person is a hospital, clinic, or other entity whose

purpose is providing health care directly to patients, and the

harm was caused by an employee or agent of the entity who used

the device while acting within the scope of the employment or

agency of the employee or agent; or

(4) the person is an acquirer of the device who leased the

device to a health care entity (or who otherwise provided the

device to such entity for compensation without selling the device

to the entity), and the harm was caused by an employee or agent

of the entity who used the device while acting within the scope

of the employment or agency of the employee or agent.

(c) Rules of construction

(1) In general

The following applies with respect to this section:

(A) This section does not establish any cause of action, or

require that an automated external defibrillator device be

placed at any building or other location.

(B) With respect to a class of persons for which this section

provides immunity from civil liability, this section supersedes

the law of a State only to the extent that the State has no

statute or regulations that provide persons in such class with

immunity for civil liability arising from the use by such

persons of automated external defibrillator devices in

emergency situations (within the meaning of the State law or

regulation involved).

(C) This section does not waive any protection from liability

for Federal officers or employees under -

(i) section 233 of this title; or

(ii) sections 1346(b), 2672, and 2679 of title 28 or under

alternative benefits provided by the United States where the

availability of such benefits precludes a remedy under

section 1346(b) of title 28.

(2) Civil actions under Federal law

(A) In general

The applicability of subsections (a) and (b) of this section

includes applicability to any action for civil liability

described in subsection (a) of this section that arises under

Federal law.

(B) Federal areas adopting State law

If a geographic area is under Federal jurisdiction and is

located within a State but out of the jurisdiction of the

State, and if, pursuant to Federal law, the law of the State

applies in such area regarding matters for which there is no

applicable Federal law, then an action for civil liability

described in subsection (a) of this section that in such area

arises under the law of the State is subject to subsections (a)

through (c) of this section in lieu of any related State law

that would apply in such area in the absence of this

subparagraph.

(d) Federal jurisdiction

In any civil action arising under State law, the courts of the

State involved have jurisdiction to apply the provisions of this

section exclusive of the jurisdiction of the courts of the United

States.

(e) Definitions
