ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: Funding Amount: $100,000,000. Period of Performance: July 23, 2007 through September 30, 2010. CFDA: 93.776. Authority: Section 6201(a)(4) of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA). Purpose: This grant program has been made available to the State of Louisiana to restore and expand access to primary care, including primary mental health care, in the Greater New Orleans area. This area is facing inadequate primary care access as a result of Hurricane Katrina and its subsequent floods causing a unique negative impact on the low income and uninsured populations of Greater New Orleans. Funding under this grant program must be used by the State of Louisiana to assist it to make payments for purposes of addressing primary health care access issues in Greater New Orleans’ ‘‘impacted communities’’, defined for purposes of this grant, to be those four parishes located in the State of Louisiana’s Region 1, as defined by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, namely, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines. This grant includes $4,000,000 for the City of New Orleans Health Department to help restore its ability to meet its primary care mission in new and emerging neighborhoods being repopulated. The grant funds must be used only for funding eligible primary care clinics that: Provide at least one or more of the core primary care services with its own practitioners in an outpatient setting; formally commit to provide care to all individuals, regardless of ability to pay; are either a public or not-for-profit (NFP) entity that is sustainable; and demonstrate commitment to practice in the Greater New Orleans area for the long term. Because of the urgent need to get funds out as timely as possible under less than ideal local circumstances, the State of Louisiana has selected a locally based partner (that was able to meet certain criteria) to oversee and monitor local conditions, E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1
