## Abstract

Current regulations regarding service of legal process provide that all service of process relating to petitions for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) are to be sent to the Director, Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Because the Acting Administrator, HRSA has recently reestablished the Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation (DVIC) within the Office of Special Programs (OSP), this final rule amends the regulations regarding service of process to provide that all petitions for compensation under the VICP are to be sent to the Director, Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation, Office of Special Programs, Health Resources and Services Administration. This amendment is purely technical.
