SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations which are the subject of these corrections 
implement certain provisions of Public Law 102-501, which provides 
that, subject to its provisions, certain entities and officers, 
employees and contractors of entities shall be deemed to be employees 
of the Public Health Service within the exclusive remedy provision of 
section 224(a) of the Public Health Service Act (the Act). Section 
224(a) of the Act provides that the remedy against the United States 
provided under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) resulting from the 
performance of medical, surgical, dental or related functions 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.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulation adds a new Part 6 to Chapter 1 
of Title 42. 42 CFR Part 6 contains an error at Sec. 6.6(c) which is in 
need of correction.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on May 8, 1995 (60 FR 22530) of the 
final regulation, FR Doc. 95-11217, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 6.6  [Corrected]

    On page 22532, in the second column, in line 11 of Sec. 6.6(c), the 
word ``of'' is corrected to read ``and''.

    Dated: July 5, 1995.

Acting, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Information Resources 
Management.
