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]

word ``of'' is corrected to read ``and''.
Dated: July 5, 1995.
