Federal Register :: Prioritization and Allocation of Certain Scarce and Critical Health and Medical Resources for Domestic Use



FEMA Proposed Rule Notice in the Federal Register: Prioritization and Allocation of Certain Scarce and Critical Health and Medical Resources for Domestic Use - In April, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a temporary final rule to allocate certain health and medical resources for domestic use, so that these resources may not be exported from the United States without explicit approval by FEMA. The rule covered five types of personal protective equipment (PPE). While this rule remains in effect, and subject to certain exemptions stated below, no shipments of such designated materials may leave the United States without explicit approval by FEMA. Through this extension, FEMA modifies the types of PPE covered and extends the duration of the temporary final rule. Open for public comment from 8/10-12/31
