During the public comment period, three letters in support of the proposed regulation were received; one letter was from the Chair of the NYS Transplant Council and two other letters were entities (one a hospital and the other an organ procurement organization) that are planning to initiate the practice of vascularized composite tissue allograft (VCA) (aka face and hands) transplantation in the near future.
