National Advisory Council on the National Health Service Corps; Notice of Meeting, 2510 [E8-581]

Download as PDF 2510 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 15, 2008 / Notices Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.224. Background: The National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC) is a cooperative agreement grantee that provides training and technical assistance support to health centers that serve homeless individuals and families. The NHCHC requires supplemental funding to provide, through expanded regional and national training activities, a broader and enriched menu of support for HRSA grantees, including Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) administrators, clinicians, and members of HCH Boards of Directors and consumer advisory groups. Amount: The amount of the award is $225,000. Project Period: July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2008. Budget Period Supplemented: July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008. Justification for The Exception to Competition: Given the recent growth of the HCH component of HRSA’s Health Center program, it is critical that expanded regional and national training be provided in as timely a manner as possible. This supplemental request is being awarded noncompetitively because, at this time, there are no other organizations with the expertise to complete these activities, and no other organization is prepared to provide these services within the timeframe in which they are needed. Due to the emerging and urgent needs of the HCH program, this supplemental request and the activities proposed are essential to ensuring successful delivery of health care to the target population.

ACTION: Notice for public comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is seeking comments from the public on its plan to institute a permanent deviation from a policy in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Grants Policy Directive (GPD) 3.01 governing indirect cost recovery for one of its grant programs. The GPD states ‘‘HHS considers activities conducted by grantees that result in indirect charges a necessary and appropriate part of HHS grants, and HHS awarding offices must reimburse their share of these costs.’’ Although HRSA typically reimburses grantees for their full share of administrative overhead represented in approved indirect cost rates (which can be up to 50 percent or higher), the Agency believes, in the case of its Small Rural Hospital Improvement Grant Program (SHIP), that full recovery of overhead expenditures would be detrimental to the ability to adequately conduct the activities mandated in the authorizing legislation. The purpose of the SHIP grant program is to assist eligible small rural hospitals in implementing Prospective Payments Systems (PPS), compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, and to reduce medical E:\FR\FM\15JAN1.SGM 15JAN1
