Title: Determination That an Individual Shall Not Be Deemed an Employee of the Public Health Service 
Abstract:

This rule would implement the Attorney General's authority under 42 U.S.C. 233(i) to determine that an individual health care provider shall not be deemed an employee of the Public Health Service for purposes of 42 U.S.C. 233(g) and the Federal Tort Claims Act. Section 233(i) of title 42 provides that the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, may on the record determine, after notice and an opportunity for a full and fair hearing, that an individual physician or other licensed or certified health care practitioner who is an officer, employee, or contractor of an entity described in 42 U.S.C. 233(g)(4) shall not be deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service for purposes of 42 U.S.C. 233 if "treating such individual as such an employee would expose the Government to an unreasonably high degree of risk of loss."
