DECISION
HASTINGS, Special Master.
This is an action seeking an award under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program [1] on account of an injury suffered by Michael Boyle. On September 29, 2016, counsel for both parties filed a Stipulation, stipulating that a decision should be entered granting compensation. The parties have stipulated that Petitioner shall receive the following compensation:
- A lump sum of , in the form of a check payable to Petitioner, representing compensation for all damages that would be available under 42 U.S.C. aa-15(a).
Under the statute governing the Program, as well as the "Vaccine Rules" adopted by this court, the special master must now enter a decision endorsing that stipulation, and the clerk must enter judgment, in order to authorize payment of the award. See § 300aa-12(d)(3)(A) and (e)(3); § 300aa-13(a); Vaccine Rules 10(a), 11(a). [2]

I have reviewed the file, and based on that review, I conclude that the parties' stipulation appears to be an appropriate one. Accordingly, my decision is that a Program award shall be made to Petitioner in the amount set forth above. In the absence of a timely-filed motion for review of this Decision, the clerk shall enter judgment in accordance herewith.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
