General notice.
In accordance with the
requirements of section 333A(b)(1) of
the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as
amended by the Health Care Safety Net
Amendments of 2002, 42 U.S.C. 254f–
1(b)(1), the Secretary of HHS shall
establish the criteria which she will use
to make determinations under section
333A(a)(1)(A) of the health professional
shortage areas (HPSAs) with the greatest
shortages. This notice sets forth revised
criteria for determining correctional
facility HPSA scores.
DATES: Effective January 10, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
CAPT Phil Budashewitz, Director,
Office of Policy and Program
Development, Bureau of Clinician
Recruitment and Service, Health
Resources and Services Administration,
5600 Fishers Lane, Parklawn Building,
Room 8A–55, Rockville, Maryland
20857, ((301) 594–4130).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
332 of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 254e,
provides that the Secretary shall
designate HPSAs based on criteria
established by regulation. HPSAs are
defined in Section 332 to include (1)
urban and rural geographic areas with
shortages of health professionals, (2)
population groups with such shortages,
and (3) facilities with such shortages.
The required regulations setting forth
the criteria for designating HPSAs are
codified at 42 C.F.R. Part 5.
Section 333A(a)(1)(A) of the PHS Act
requires that the Secretary give priority
in the assignment of National Health
Service Corps personnel to entities
serving HPSAs with the greatest health
professional shortage. Section 333A(b)
of the PHS Act requires that the
Secretary establish criteria specifying
the manner in which she determines
HPSAs of greatest shortage and publish
the criteria, and any revisions to the
criteria, in the Federal Register. The
criteria established by the Secretary
create a method for scoring HPSAs
based on relative shortage.
SUMMARY:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Correctional Facility HPSA Scores
Correctional facility HPSA scores are
currently extrapolated from the degreeof-shortage (DOS) groups determined in
the primary care, mental health, and
dental HPSA designation process. See
42 CFR part 5, Appendices A, B and C.
The determination of DOS groups for
these facilities is based primarily on
internee/inpatient-to-provider ratios,
which is similar to the population-toprovider ratio used for other types of
HPSAs. This notice revises the criteria
for scoring primary care, mental health

and dental correctional facility HPSAs.
The Secretary will utilize a combination
of the correctional facility’s DOS group
and an indicator of the supply of
providers in the geographic area where
the facility is located, as measured by
the designation of a geographic HPSA
and its relative geographic HPSA score.
The table below defines the points
correctional facilities will receive based
on their DOS group:
Degree-of-Shortage Group 1 ......
Degree-of-Shortage Group 2 ......
Degree-of-Shortage Group 3 ......
12 points.
6 points.
3 points.
The table below defines the points
correctional facilities will receive based
on their location in a geographic HPSA
and the geographic HPSA’s score:
Geographic HPSA score between 20–25 (20–26 in the
case of dental or mental
health HPSAs).
Geographic HPSA score between 14–19.
Geographic HPSA score between 8–13.
Geographic HPSA score between 1–7.
Not located in a geographic
HPSA.
12 points.
9 points.
6 points.
3 points.
0 points.
Points for the DOS and the geographic
HPSA score will be equally weighted.
The maximum HPSA score for a
correctional facility is 24.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The criteria used to make
determinations under section
333A(a)(1)(A) of the HPSAs with the
greatest shortages described in this
announcement will not involve data
collection activities that fall under the
purview of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. If the methods for
determining HPSAs with the greatest
shortages fall under the purview of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, HRSA will
seek OMB clearance for proposed data
collection activities.
