## Abstract

The Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is issuing interim final regulations implementing section 228 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by section 304 of Public Law 101-509 and section 2001 of Public Law 103-43, which establish in the Public Health Service a Senior Biomedical Research Service. These regulations are being published as an interim final rule with request for comment. Although the Administrative Procedure Act does not apply to a matter relating to agency management or personnel [5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)] and although the Act itself permits publication of a final rule without a notice and comment period for rules of agency organization or procedure [5 U.S.C. 553(b))], these regulations are considered a significant enough change in policy to benefit from public comment.
