ACTION: Final Agency Guidance and
Opportunity for Public Comments on
Draft Section.
AGENCY:
HRSA is publishing Agency
Guidance (‘‘Policy Information Notice’’
(PIN) 2013–01) to provide clarification
on the budgeting and accounting
requirements for federally-funded
health centers and Look-Alikes. The
PIN, ‘‘Health Center Budgeting and
Accounting Requirements’’ is available
on the Internet at https://bphc.hrsa.gov/
policiesregulations/policies/
pin201301.html.
Background: HHS’ Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
provides grants to eligible health centers
under section 330 of the Public Health
Service Act to support the delivery of
preventive and primary care services to
medically underserved communities
and vulnerable populations. In 2012,
grants helped fund more than 1,200
health center grantees that provided
services at nearly 9,000 health care
delivery sites and served more than 21
million people. There are also over 100
Look-Alikes. Look-Alikes, as described
in section 1861(aa)(4) and section
1905(l)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act,
do not receive federal funding under
section 330 of the PHS Act; however, to
receive the Look-Alike designation and
benefits, Look-Alikes must meet the
statutory, regulatory, and policy
requirements for health centers
programs under section 330.
Under 45 CFR Part 74, a key
requirement of the Health Center
Program is for a health center to
establish a budget that reflects the cost
of operations, expenses, and revenues
necessary to accomplish the service
delivery plan. All section 330-funded
health centers and Look-Alikes must
prepare a budget that meets these
requirements. The purpose of this PIN is
to provide clarification regarding
budgeting and accounting requirements

for health centers to ensure
transparency and accountability.
In addition to making the final PIN
available on HRSA’s Web site, HRSA is
also making available a section of this
PIN for public comment. HRSA will
review and analyze all comments on
this section and issue final PIN. When
finalized, this section of the PIN will
supersede all other previous Health
Center Program guidance and policy
issued on this program requirement.
