This rule also&nbsp;formalizes&nbsp;standards and procedures by which HHS may allocate materials, services, and facilities to promote the national defense. This rule will add part 94(a) to title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations in order to implement HHS' administration of priorities and allocations actions, as well as establish the Health Resource Priority and Allocations System (HRPAS).</p>
