[FR Doc. 2010–15293 Filed 6–23–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163–18–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Health Resources and Services Administration Legislative Changes to Primary Care Loan Program Authorized Under Title VII of the Public Health Service Act AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Public Law 111–148. Section 5201 of the ACA changes the Primary Care Loan (PCL) program by: (1) Reducing the number of years for the primary health care service requirement; (2) lowering the interest rate for service default; and (3) eliminating the HHS requirement that parental financial information be submitted for independent students. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PCL program was created through the Health Professions Education Extension Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–408), which established a new requirement for the use of the Health Professions Student Loan funds for allopathic and osteopathic schools. The PCL program strives to increase the number of primary care physicians by providing long-term, low interest rate loans to fulltime students with financial need pursuing a degree in allopathic or osteopathic medicine. Below are details on how the ACA changes Section 723 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) regarding administration of the PCL program. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Primary Health Care Service Requirement Under the PCL program, students were required to enter and complete a residency training program in primary health care and practice in primary health care until the PCL borrower’s loan was repaid in full. The ACA change requires that for any new PCLs made on or after March 23, 2010, the PCL borrowers are to enter and complete residency training in primary health care and practice in primary health care for either 10 years (including the years spent in residency training) or through the date on which the loan is VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:47 Jun 23, 2010 Jkt 220001 36099 repaid in full, whichever occurs first. (Section 5201(a)(1)(B) of the ACA). DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Service Default Interest Rate Food and Drug Administration In the past, PCL borrowers who did not fulfill the service requirements and began practicing in a discipline or specialty other than primary health care were penalized by having their interest rate on the PCL recalculated at 18 percent. The ACA change requires that borrowers who receive a PCL on or after March 23, 2010, and fail to comply with the service requirements of the program will have their loans begin to accrue interest at an annual rate of 2 percent greater than the rate the student would pay if compliant. (Section 5201(a)(3) of the ACA.) [Docket Nos. FDA–2009–M–0317, FDA– 2009–M–0369, FDA–2009–M–0370, FDA– 2009–M–0485, FDA–2009–M–0536, FDA– 2009–M–0540] Parental Financial Information Requirement for Independent Students Prior to enactment of the new law, independent students were required to provide parental financial information to the school’s financial aid office so that the school could consider all financial resources available to the independent student for a PCL. The ACA change eliminates the HHS requirement for independent students to provide parental financial information to determine financial need. At its discretion, a school may still require parental financial information for independent students seeking a PCL. (Section 5201(b) of the ACA.) For this program, an independent student is a student who is at least 24 years of age and has been independent for a minimum of 3 years. Dependent students are still required to submit parental financial information. The ACA changes to the PCL program will require a participating school to revise its PCL master promissory note for new loans made on or after March 23, 2010, to be consistent with the ACA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the Federal Register. Instead, the agency now posts this information on the Internet on FDA’s home page at https://www.fda.gov.

Reconsideration of a denial or withdrawal of approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant; in these cases, the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is notified by FDA in writing of its decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA 
published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to 
discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the 
Federal Register. Instead, the agency now posts this information on the 
Internet on FDA's home page at https://www.fda.gov. FDA believes that 
this procedure expedites public notification of these actions because 
announcements can be placed on the Internet more quickly than they can 
be published in the Federal Register, and FDA believes that the 
Internet is accessible to more people than the Federal Register.
    In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and

for notices announcing approval of a PMA begins on the day the notice 
is placed on the Internet. Section 10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for 
good cause, extend this 30-day period. Reconsideration of a denial or 
withdrawal of approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant; in 
these cases, the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is 
notified by FDA in writing of its decision.
    The regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of 
available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and 
denials that were announced during that quarter. The following is a
