Program; Medically Underserved Areas
for 2011
AGENCY: Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) has completed its
annual determination of the States that
qualify as Medically Underserved Areas
under the Federal Employees Health
Benefits (FEHB) Program for calendar
year 2011. This is necessary to comply
with a provision of the FEHB law that
mandates special consideration for
enrollees of certain FEHB plans who
receive covered health services in States
with critical shortages of primary care
physicians. Accordingly, for calendar
year 2011, the following states are

FEHB Program: Alabama, Arizona,

Oklahoma has been added for the 2011
calendar year.
DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lynelle T. Frye, 202–606–0004.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEHB law
(5 U.S.C. 8902(m)(2)) requires special
consideration for enrollees of certain
FEHB plans who receive covered health
services in States with critical shortages
of primary care physicians. This section
of the law requires that a State be
designated as a Medically Underserved
Area if 25 percent or more of the
population lives in an area designated
by the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a primary medical
care manpower shortage area. Such
States are designated as Medically
Underserved Areas for purposes of the
FEHB Program, and the law requires
non-HMO FEHB plans to reimburse
beneficiaries, subject to their contract
terms, for covered services obtained
from any licensed provider in these
States.
FEHB regulations (5 CFR 890.701)
require OPM to make an annual
determination of the States that qualify
as Medically Underserved Areas for the
next calendar year by comparing the
latest HHS State-by-State population
counts on primary medical care
manpower shortage areas with U.S.
Census figures on State resident
populations.

Request for information.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: President Obama presented a
national innovation strategy in
September 2009 with a call to action to
increase innovation in order to propel
sustainable economic growth and create
high quality jobs. Of particular
importance to this strategy is the focus
on the role of high-growth small
businesses. At the May 2010
Presidential Summit on
Entrepreneurship, President Obama
called entrepreneurship ‘‘the most
VerDate Mar<15>2010

powerful force the world has ever
known for creating opportunity.’’
High-growth companies for the
purpose of this request for
information—those that have
experienced high-growth already and
those that have high-growth potential—
do not have a precise definition. Some
academic literature has focused on
companies that double in revenue or
employment over a four-year period.
Others focus on companies that reach a
customer base beyond the confines of
geographic proximity (e.g., local
businesses like restaurants or dry
cleaners) to a ‘‘traded’’ sector (e.g.,
manufacturing, business services)
because that market has more growth
potential. Perhaps the simplest
definition is businesses that have the
potential to grow beyond a certain
size—beyond 500 employees or beyond
$50 million in revenue or enterprise
value.
High-growth, early stage
entrepreneurs face long odds; however,
certain programmatic initiatives could
significantly increase their chances to
succeed. Mentoring relationships
provide many benefits to a new
entrepreneur and, ultimately, to their
communities if those new companies
have a greater probability of thriving
and hiring employees. Similarly,
entrepreneurial education geared
towards the high-growth community is
imperative in reaching a wider audience
of potential entrepreneurs and
encouraging a sustainable, innovationbased ecosystem.
This RFI is designed to collect input
from the public on ideas for creating
and leveraging existing entrepreneurial
mentoring and education programs for
early stage, high-growth companies. One
objective of the RFI is to understand
how the needs of high-growth
companies and entrepreneurs may differ
from other businesses. In order to delve
into these differences, the first section of
the RFI seeks public comments on the
best structure for public-private
partnerships that can build mentoring
networks between new and seasoned
entrepreneurs. The second section of the
RFI seeks public comments on best
practices and program development for
building entrepreneurial education
programs targeted at preparing new and
serial entrepreneurs to lead high-growth
companies.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 12, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Small businesses are essential to our
nation’s economy and its recovery from
the recession. Small businesses create
two out of every three new jobs in this
country; most of those net new jobs
come from a smaller sub-segment of
companies with very high growth rates.
Data shows that these high-growth
companies are spread all over the
country and across all industries.
Nevertheless, first-time and even serial
entrepreneurs face many challenges to
creating sustainable and high-growth
companies. Seven out of ten new
employer firms last at least two years,
yet only half survive five years.
Mentorship and educational/training
programs are proven methodologies that
increase the likelihood that a first-time
entrepreneur will succeed.
The Obama Innovation Strategy lays
out several initiatives that indicate a
renewed focus on education and
training for entrepreneurs. One such
initiative is the active role the Federal
government has taken in promoting
student achievement and careers in
STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math). These subject
areas are critical to laying the
foundation for the next generation of
innovators. Training programs are also
aligned with the Innovation Strategy as
