When health agency heads label a personnel or space request as a "priority request" for AIDS work, the Office of Personnel Management or General Services Administration must answer within 21 days. Otherwise, the request counts as approved automatically. A copy of every priority request must also go to the Secretary and Assistant Secretary for Health.

(a) In general: When the Administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Director of the CDC, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, or the Director of NIH makes a "priority request," the Director of the Office of Personnel Management or the Administrator of General Services (whichever one got the request) must respond within 21 days. If they don't turn down the request within those 21 days, the request automatically counts as approved. (b) Notice to Secretary and to Assistant Secretary for Health: Whichever agency head makes a priority request under this section must also send a copy of it to the Secretary and to the Assistant Secretary for Health, on the same day the request itself is made. (c) "Priority request" defined: A "priority request" is a request that meets two conditions. First, one of the four officials named in (a) — the SAMHSA Administrator, the CDC Director, the FDA Commissioner, or the NIH Director — must have labeled it a priority request. Second, it must either (A) go to the Director of the Office of Personnel Management asking for staff to be assigned to AIDS-related work, or (B) go to the Administrator of General Services asking for administrative support or office space for that work.
