participant to such position as soon as
possible, but no later than 90 days after
the date that the participant receives his
or her degree, or the date the participant
obtains any required applicable
credentials, whichever is later. If a
participant fails to obtain his or her
degree, or fails to obtain any required
applicable credentials within 180 days
after receiving the degree, the
participant is considered to be in breach
of the acceptance agreement.
(c) Duration of service. The
participant will agree to serve as a fulltime clinical VA employee for 3
calendar years which must be
completed no later than 6 years after the
participant has completed the program
for which the scholarship was awarded
and received a degree referenced in
§ 17.627(a)(1).
(d) Location and assignment of
obligated service. VA reserves the right
to make final decisions on the location
and assignment of the obligated service.
A participant who receives a
scholarship must agree as part of the
participant’s mobility agreement that he
or she is willing to accept the location
and assignment where VA assigns the
obligated service. Geographic relocation
may be required.
(e) Creditability of advanced clinical
training. No period of advanced clinical
training will be credited towards
satisfying the period of obligated service
incurred under the VIOMPSP.

§ 17.633
Deferment of obligated service.
Deferment of obligated service under
the VIOMPSP is treated in the same
manner as deferment of obligated
service under the HPSP under § 17.608.

§ 17.634 Failure to comply with terms and
conditions of participation.
(a) Participant refuses to accept
payment of the VIOMPSP. If a
participant, other than one described in
paragraph (b) of this section, refuses to
accept payment or instructs the school
not to accept payment of the VIOMPSP
scholarship provided by VA, the
participant must, in addition to any
obligation incurred under the
agreement, pay to the United States the
amount of $1,500 in liquidated
damages. Payment of this amount must
be made no later than 90 days from the
date that the participant fails to accept
payment of the VIOMPSP or instructs
the school not to accept payment.
(b) Participant fails to complete
course of study or does not obtain
certification. A participant described in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this
section must, instead of otherwise

fulfilling the terms of his or her
acceptance agreement, pay to the United
States an amount equal to all VIOMPSP
funds awarded under the acceptance
agreement. Payment of this amount
must be made no later than 1 year after
the date that the participant meets any
of the criteria described in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (4) of this section, unless
VA determines that a longer period is
necessary to avoid hardship. No interest
will be charged on any part of this
indebtedness. A participant will pay
such amount if one of the following
criteria is met:
(1) The participant fails to maintain
an acceptable level of academic
standing;
(2) The participant is dismissed from
the school for disciplinary reasons;
(3) The participant, for any reason,
voluntarily terminates the course of
study or program for which the
scholarship was awarded including a
reduction of course load from full-time
to part-time before completing the
course of study or program; or
(4) The participant fails to become
certified in the discipline for which the
degree prepared the participant, if
applicable, no later than 180 days after
the date such person becomes eligible to
apply for certification.
(c) Participant fails to perform all or
any part of their service obligation. (1)
Participants who breach their
agreements by failing to begin or
complete their service obligation, for
any reason, including the loss,
revocation, suspension, restriction, or
limitation of required certification, and
other than provided for under paragraph
(b) of this section, must repay the
portion of all VIOMPSP funds paid to or
on behalf of the participant, adjusted for
the service that they provided. To
calculate the unearned portion of
VIOMPSP funds, subtract the number of
months of obligated service rendered
from the total months of obligated
service owed, divide the remaining
months by the total obligated service,
then multiply by the total amount of
VIOMPSP funds paid to or on behalf of
the participant. The following formula
may be used in determining the
unearned portion:
A = P((t-s)/t) in which
‘‘A’’ is the amount the United States is
entitled to recover;
‘‘P’’ is the amounts paid under the VIOMPSP,
to or on behalf of the participant;
‘‘t’’ is the total number of months in the
participant’s period of obligated service;
and
‘‘s’’ is the number of months of obligated
service rendered.
(2) The amount that the United States
is entitled to recover will be paid no

applicant failed to begin or complete the
period of obligated service, as
determined by VA.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7505(a), 7505(b))
§ 17.635
Bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy under the VIOMPSP is
treated in the same manner as
bankruptcy for the HPSP under
§ 17.611.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7505(c), 7505(d))
§ 17.636 Cancellation, waiver, or
suspension of obligation.
Cancellation, waiver, or suspension
procedures under the VIOMPSP are the
same as those procedures for the HPSP
under § 17.612.

Suspension of Community Eligibility
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule identifies
communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) that are scheduled for
suspension on the effective dates listed
within this rule because of
noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the
program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives
documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain
management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this
rule, the suspension will not occur and
a notice of this will be provided by
publication in the Federal Register on a
subsequent date. Also, information
identifying the current participation
status of a community can be obtained
from FEMA’s Community Status Book
(CSB). The CSB is available at https://
www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.
DATES: Effective Dates: The effective
date of each community’s scheduled
suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’)
listed in the third column of the
following tables.

you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended

Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP
enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not
otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities
agree to adopt and administer local
floodplain management measures aimed
at protecting lives and new construction
from future flooding. Section 1315 of
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022,
prohibits the sale of NFIP flood
insurance unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed in this document no
longer meet that statutory requirement
for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR Part 59.
Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the
third column. As of that date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in
the community. We recognize that some
of these communities may adopt and
submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain
management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue
to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood
insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of such communities will be
published in the Federal Register.
In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been
published, is indicated in the fourth
column of the table. No direct Federal
financial assistance (except assistance
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may be provided for construction
or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not
participating in the NFIP and identified
for more than a year on FEMA’s initial
FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This
prohibition against certain types of
Federal assistance becomes effective for
the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and
public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
unnecessary because communities listed
in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
Each community receives 6-month,
90-day, and 30-day notification letters
addressed to the Chief Executive Officer
stating that the community will be
suspended unless the required
floodplain management measures are
met prior to the effective suspension
date. Since these notifications were
made, this final rule may take effect
within less than 30 days.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This rule is categorically excluded from
the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10,
Environmental Considerations. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
Administrator has determined that this
rule is exempt from the requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act because
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance
coverage unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and
after the effective date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the
communities unless remedial action
takes place.
Regulatory Classification. This final
rule is not a significant regulatory action
under the criteria of section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866 of September 30,
1993, Regulatory Planning and Review,
58 FR 51735.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism.
This rule involves no policies that have
federalism implications under Executive
Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. This rule meets the applicable
standards of Executive Order 12988.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule
does not involve any collection of
information for purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
