[Docket ID: DOD-2021-OS-0047]

Medical Malpractice Claims by Members of the Uniformed Services; 
Correction

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD) Office of General Counsel, DoD.

ACTION: Interim final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense is correcting an interim final rule 
that appeared in the Federal Register on June 17, 2021. The interim 
final rule implements requirements of the National Defense 
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020 permitting members of the 
uniformed services or their authorized representatives to file claims 
for personal injury or death caused by a Department of Defense (DoD) 
health care providers in certain military medical treatment facilities. 
Because Federal courts do not have jurisdiction to consider these 
claims, DoD is issued this rule to provide uniform standards and 
procedures for considering and processing these actions.

DATES: This correction is effective on July 19, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Toppings, 571-372-0485.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 2021-12815, appearing at 86 FR
