the HRSA Web site at https://
www.hrsa.gov/grants, or through
Grants.gov at: https://www.grants.gov. In
FY 2007, up to 120 New Access Points
in High Poverty Counties are estimated
to be funded. HRSA anticipates
awarding a minimum of $24 million for
this activity in FY 2007 and
applications were due May 23, 2007.
Subject to the availability of funds, up
to 25 Planning Grants in High Poverty
Counties will be funded, with
applications that were due May 16,
2007. All applications were to be
submitted electronically through
Grants.gov by the established due dates.
Summary of the Funding Priority
A funding priority is defined as the
favorable adjustment of combined
review scores of individually approved
applications when applications meet
specified criteria. An adjustment is
made by a set, pre-determined number
of points. The New Access Point in High
Poverty Counties funding opportunity
has one funding priority of five (5)
points for ‘‘Multi-County Applications.’’
In order to be considered for this
funding priority, applicants must
demonstrate that a minimum of 15
percent of the total target population
will come from a county(ies) other than
the eligible high poverty county in
which the new access point will be
located. Applicants requesting
consideration of a funding priority must
initiate the request and provide the
expected distribution of the target
population among the counties to be
served by the high poverty county new
access point project.

Notice.
SUMMARY: The Office of Inspector
General (OIG) is announcing the
availability of a Proactive Disclosure
Service (PDS) Prototype for customers of
the Healthcare Integrity and Protection
Data Bank (HIPDB). The PDS was
developed for the National Practitioner
Data Bank (NPDB) in response to
customers’ interest in real-time
monitoring of practitioner credentials.
As a result of the technical
interoperability of the NPDB and
HIPDB, the PDS feature is also being
made available to HIPDB customers.
DATES: This fee will be effective June 11,
2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joel
Schaer, OIG Office of External Affairs,
(202) 619–0089, or Mark Pincus, HRSA,
Bureau of Health Professions, (301) 443–
2300.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PDS
has been initially offered as a prototype
to authorized NPDB entities, as set forth
in a HRSA notice published in the
Federal Register on March 7, 2007 (72
FR 10227). In accordance with
implementation of the PDS prototype,
authorized HIPDB customers can also
now choose to enroll all of their
practitioners, providers, and suppliers
in PDS, or enroll some of their
practitioners, providers, and suppliers
while continuing to periodically query
on others using the regular query
methods. Customers with PDS-enrolled
subjects will be notified within one
business day of the HIPDB’s receipt of
a report on any of their enrollees. While
customers can expect to receive reports
sooner with PDS, the format of and
information contained in a report will
remain the same.
The annual subscription fee during
the prototype period will be $3.25 per
practitioner, provider, or supplier. The
rate is subject to change after the
prototype period is complete. The query
fee for periodic queries will continue to
remain at $4.75 per name.
PDS Enrollment Availability

ACTION:
The PDS prototype became available
to NPDB queries effective April 30,
2007. An invitation to participate in this
prototype was extended first to
organizations that assisted HRSA with
designing and pricing, which occurred
between 2003 and 2005. All entities
registered with the HIPDB and/or the
NPDB have been invited to participate
to meet a predetermined number for
subjects to be monitored. Once this
number is achieved, enrollment in the
prototype will close. It is anticipated
that the PDS prototype period will last
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
approximately 18 to 24 months before it
is opened to all authorized Data Bank
entities.
User Fee Amount
An annual subscription fee of $3.25
per subject will be charged upon
enrollment. This fee includes the cost of
an initial query, which automatically
will be incurred when a subject is first
enrolled, and all reports received on the
enrolled subject over the course of the
one-year subscription period. The fee
was determined through economic
analysis of the average annual rate of
queries performed by health care
entities in relationship to the current
query fee that is based on the actual cost
for services. The Department will accept
payment for the subscription fee from
entities via credit card or electronic
funds transfer. When the prototype
period concludes, the Department may
change the subscription fee. Any
changes will be announced through
notice in the Federal Register.
