The Department's yearly plan for public health emergencies must match a specific Public Health Service Act rule. During a declared public health emergency, HHS's Secretary must keep Homeland Security, Justice, and the FBI fully informed. Even before an emergency is declared, other agencies must keep HHS and the CDC informed too.
(a) In general: The Department's annual Federal response plan must be consistent with section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, the law that lets the Secretary* of Health and Human Services declare a public health emergency*.
(b) Disclosures among relevant agencies: (1) Full disclosure between relevant agencies must follow the rules below. (2) During a period when the Secretary of Health and Human Services has declared a public health emergency under that section, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must keep relevant agencies — including the Department* of Homeland* Security, the Department of Justice, and the FBI — fully and currently informed. (3) If a situation involves, or might involve, a public health emergency but no formal declaration has been made, then all relevant agencies — including Homeland Security, Justice, and the FBI — must instead keep the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fully and currently informed.
The annual Federal response plan developed by the Department* shall be consistent with section 319 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d).
Full disclosure among relevant agencies shall be made in accordance with this subsection.
During the period in which the Secretary* of Health and Human Services has declared the existence of a public health emergency under section 319(a) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d(a)), the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall keep relevant agencies, including the Department of Homeland* Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, fully and currently informed.
In cases involving, or potentially involving, a public health emergency, but in which no determination of an emergency by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 319(a) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d(a)), has been made, all relevant agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, shall keep the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fully and currently informed.
