children (UAC) referrals from the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and other Federal agencies
resulting from the recent passage of the
William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims
Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA)
of 2008. Many provisions in the TVPRA
will dramatically affect the Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) UAC
program’s capacity to provide
placement, custodial and residential
shelter care services. ORR expects an
additional 6,800 referrals annually from
DHS.
The program has very specific
requirements for the provision of
services. Existing grantees are the only
entities with the infrastructure,
licensing, experience and appropriate
level of trained staff to meet the service
requirements and the urgent need for
expansion. The program’s ability to
avoid a backlog of children waiting in
border patrol stations for placement can
only be accommodated through the
expansion of existing programs through
this supplemental award process.

‘‘Low Income Levels’’ Used for Various
Health Professions and Nursing

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services
Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) is
PO 00000

updating income levels used to identify
a ‘‘low income family’’ for the purpose
of determining eligibility for programs
that provide health professions and
nursing training for individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds. These
various programs are included in Titles
III, VII and VIII of the Public Health
Service Act.
The Department periodically
publishes in the Federal Register lowincome levels used to determine
eligibility for grants and cooperative
agreements to institutions providing
training for (1) disadvantaged
individuals, (2) individuals from
disadvantaged backgrounds, or (3)
individuals from ‘‘low-income’’
families.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
various health professions and nursing
grant and cooperative agreement
programs that use the low-income levels
to determine whether an individual is
from an economically disadvantaged
background in making eligibility and
funding determinations generally make
awards to: Accredited schools of
medicine, osteopathic medicine, public
health, dentistry, veterinary medicine,
optometry, pharmacy, allied health
podiatric medicine, nursing,
chiropractic, public or private nonprofit
schools which offer graduate programs
in behavioral health and mental health
practice, and other public or private
nonprofit health or education entities to
assist the disadvantaged to enter and
graduate from health professions and
nursing schools. Some programs
provide for the repayment of health
professions or nursing education loans
for disadvantaged students.
Low-Income Levels
The Secretary defines a ‘‘low-income
family’’ for programs included in Titles
III, VII and VIII of the Public Health
Service Act as having an annual income
that does not exceed 200 percent of the
Department’s poverty guidelines. A
family is a group of two or more
individuals related by birth, marriage, or
adoption who live together or an
individual who is not living with any
relatives. Most HRSA programs use the
income of the student’s parents to
compute low income status, while a few
