PRIVACY ACT NOTICE
The collection, maintenance, and disclosure of this information is governed by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a).
AUTHORITY: The Department of Commerce requests the patient information solicited on this form to carry out the agency’s responsibilities pursuant
to 22 U.S.C. 2680b, as amended by the Helping American Victims Affected by Neurological Attacks (HAVANA) Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-46) and the
Department’s implementing regulations at part 3 to Subtitle A of Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations.
PURPOSE: The principal purpose for which the Department of Commerce will use the patient information solicited on this form is to assist the agency
in determining the patient’s medical eligibility for potential payment under the HAVANA Act, for which the assessment and diagnosis of a qualifying
injury by a board-certified neurologist is required.
