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 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
