agricultural biotechnology
manufacturing industry.

Health centers receiving grant funding
under Section 330 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act are a major
component of America’s health care
safety net, the Nation’s ‘‘system’’ of
providing primary health care to
underserved communities and
vulnerable populations. Health centers
care for people regardless of their ability
to pay and whether or not they have
health insurance. They provide primary
health care, as well as services such as
transportation and translation. Many
health centers also offer dental, mental
heath, and substance abuse care. Grants
to health centers are administered by
HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health Care
(BPHC). In an effort to encourage the
creation of new health centers and sites
as well as improve and strengthen
existing sites, HRSA periodically issues
new grant opportunities.
HRSA uses the following application
forms to administer and manage the
Federal Qualified Health Center. These
application forms are used by new and
existing FQHC’s to apply for grant and
non-grant opportunities, re-new their
grant or non-grant opportunities or
change their scope of project.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: A notice was published in the
Federal Register (FR) on December 6,
2006, (Vol. 71, No. 234, pp. 70780–
70781), describing a funding priority to
be included in the fiscal year (FY) 2007
New Access Points in High Poverty
Counties grant opportunity. The notice
requested public comments on the
proposed funding priority to be sent to
HRSA no later than January 5, 2007.
Comments were received from over 30
organizations and/or individuals in
response to the notice of the proposed
funding priority. The majority of
comments received did not pertain
specifically to the proposed funding
priority, but rather the President’s High
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
Comments: Over 25 of the comments
received requested additional
information on the poorest counties that
would be eligible for the grant
opportunities offered under the
Initiative. A number of comments
offered suggestions for the methodology
of determining the eligible counties,
while others solely requested a list of
the eligible counties.
Agency Response: Specific eligibility
requirements for the New Access Points
in High Poverty Counties (HRSA–07–
069) opportunity, as well as the
Planning Grants in High Poverty
Counties (HRSA–07–066) funding
opportunity, are detailed within the
respective grant announcements
available online through the HRSA Web
site at: https://www.hrsa.gov/grants.
Eligibility for both opportunities is
limited to the 200 eligible high poverty
counties that have been determined
using two cohorts with no section 330
grantee site and a high percentage of
people living below 200 percent of the
Federal poverty level. One cohort
consists of counties with populations at
or above 100,000 (high population) and
makes up approximately 25 percent of
the total eligible counties. The other
cohort consists of counties with
populations below 100,000 (low
population) and constitutes
approximately 75 percent of the eligible
PO 00000

counties. The low population counties
were also screened by a provider need
criteria. To be eligible, low population
counties were required to exhibit a need
of at least one additional primary care
provider (PCP), using a standard of one
PCP for every 3,000 persons. The list of
eligible counties is included within
each of the grant announcements.
Issue: Focusing on County Level for
Eligibility
Comments: Comments expressed
specific concern over the decision to
limit eligibility for the Initiative to the
county level, especially since counties
differ significantly in geographic size,
population density, diversity, etc.
Suggestions included opening the
competition to all communities, with a
priority instead to the defined high
poverty counties.
Agency Response: The Initiative was
established to further the success of the
President’s Health Center Initiative by
focusing support and increasing access
to quality health services in the Nation’s
poorest counties without a health
center. Counties were selected as the
focus of this particular initiative
because they are a recognized boundary
for the delivery of public health and
social services in many communities,
and the Initiative will help support
county level efforts to provide needed
primary care services to their
populations.
Issue: Guidance information
Comments: Comments requested
further information on the application
guidance release date, funding levels,
and how to apply for the funding
opportunities.
Agency Response: The New Access
Point in High Poverty Counties (HRSA–
07–069) and Planning Grants in High
Poverty Counties (HRSA–07–066)
opportunities were both released March
14, 2007, and were made available on
