process for filing appeals in the case
where applicants are rejected for
membership or designation in the
OPTN. To date, no appeals have been
filed. The burden requirements for this
process are minimal. The estimate of
burden for this process consists of
preparing a letter requesting
reconsideration and compiling
supporting documentation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
authorities that established the NAC and
the Federal Advisory Committee Act of
October 6, 1972, 5 U.S.C. App., HRSA
is requesting nominations for members
of the NAC.
The NAC on the NHSC is a body of
clinicians and health care
administrators who possess knowledge
of underserved communities and health
care implementation and improvement.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 96 / Friday, May 18, 2007 / Notices
This cadre of health care experts can
serve as a ‘‘frontline’’ source of
information to NHSC senior level
management. NAC is committed to
effectively implementing its mandate to
advise the Secretary and, by
designation, the Administrator, HRSA.
The NAC:
• Serves as a forum to identify the
priorities for the NHSC and bring
forward and anticipate future program
issues and concerns through ongoing
communication with program staff,
professional organizations, communities
and program participants;
• Functions as a sounding board for
proposed policy changes by utilizing the
varying levels of expertise represented
on the Council to advise on specific
program areas; and
• Develops and distributes White
Papers and briefs that clearly state
issues and/or concerns relating to the
NHSC with specific recommendations
for necessary policy revisions.
Interested persons may nominate one
or more qualified persons for
membership on NAC. Nominations shall
state that the nominee is willing to serve
as a member of NAC and appears to
have no conflicts of interest that would
preclude the NAC membership.
Potential candidates will be asked to
provide detailed information concerning
consultancies, research grants, or
contracts to permit evaluation of
possible sources of conflicts of interest.
A curriculum vitae or resume should be
submitted with the nomination.
The Department of Health and Human
Services has special interest in assuring
that women, minority groups, and the
physically disabled are adequately
represented on advisory committees;
and therefore, extends particular
encouragement to nominations for
appropriately qualified female,
minority, or disabled candidates.
SUMMARY: The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) is
updating income levels used to identify
a ‘‘low income family’’ for the purpose
of determining eligibility for programs
that provide health professions and
nursing training for individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds. These
various programs are included in Titles
III, VII and VIII of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act.
The Department periodically
publishes in the Federal Register lowincome levels used to determine
eligibility for grants and cooperative
agreements to institutions providing
training for (1) disadvantaged
individuals, (2) individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds, or (3)
individuals from ‘‘low-income’’
families.
Dated: May 11, 2007.
Caroline Lewis,
Associate Administrator for Management.
[FR Doc. E7–9545 Filed 5–17–07; 8:45 am]
The Secretary defines a ‘‘low income
family’’ for programs included in Titles
III, VII and VIII of the Public Health
Service Act as a family having an
annual income that does not exceed 200
percent of the Department’s poverty
guidelines. A ‘‘family’’ is a group of two
or more individuals related by birth,
marriage, or adoption who live together
or an individual who is not living with
any relatives. Most HRSA programs use
the income of the student’s parents to
compute low income status. However, a
few programs, depending upon the
legislative intent of the program,
programmatic purpose of the low
income level, as well as the age and
circumstances of the average
participant, will use the student’s family
income, as long as he or she is not listed
as a dependent upon the parents’ tax

The
various health professions and nursing
grant and cooperative agreement
programs that use the low income levels
to determine whether an individual is
from an economically disadvantaged
background in making eligibility and
funding determinations generally make
awards to: Accredited schools of
medicine, osteopathic medicine, public
health, dentistry, veterinary medicine,
optometry, pharmacy, allied health
podiatric medicine, nursing,
chiropractic, public or private nonprofit
schools which offer graduate programs
in behavioral health and mental health
practice, and other public or private
nonprofit health or education entities to
assist the disadvantaged to enter and
graduate from health professions and
nursing schools. Some programs
provide for the repayment of health
professions or nursing education loans
for disadvantaged students.

form. Each program will announce the
rationale and choice of methodology for
determining low income levels in their
program guidance. The Department’s
poverty guidelines are based on poverty
thresholds published by the U.S. Bureau
of the Census, adjusted annually for
changes in the Consumer Price Index.
The Secretary annually adjusts the
low income levels based on the
Department’s poverty guidelines and
makes them available to persons
responsible for administering the
applicable programs. The income

reflect increases in the Consumer Price
Index through December 31, 2006.
