What the agency says
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) amends the regulations implementing the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, as amended (NOTA), to remove clinical research and institutional review board (IRB) requirements ("research and IRB requirements") for transplantation of kidneys and livers from donors with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to recipients with HIV. As allowed by the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act, the Secretary of HHS determines that participation in such clinical research should no longer be a requirement for transplantation of kidneys and livers from donors with HIV to recipients with HIV. This final rule serves as publication of the Secretary's determination and amends the regulations to reflect this determination. This final rule also serves as publication of the Secretary's direction to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) to adopt and use standards of quality with respect to kidneys and livers from donors with HIV to ensure that HOPE Act kidney and liver transplants are subject to OPTN policies that are consistent with NOTA, and in a way that ensures the revised requirements for transplantation of such organs will not reduce the safety of organ transplantation.
