SUMMARY:
Background and Discussion of
Extension of Application Deadline
RBS published a Notice on May 22,

of the Federal Register with an
application deadline of July 24, 2017.
Subsequently, the Agency received
multiple inquiries in regard to the
definition of Consortium included in
the Notice. RBS is extending the
deadline to clarify the requirement in
the Notice that Consortium members be
located in the Delta Region.
The term ‘Consortium’ is defined on
page 23177 of the Notice published on
May 22, 2017 in Vol. 82, No. 97 (82 FR
23176) as ‘‘a group of three or more
entities that are regional Institutions of
Higher Education, Academic Health and
Research Institutes, and/or Economic
Development Entities located in the
Delta Region that have at least 1 year of
prior experience in addressing the
health care issues in the region. At least
one of the consortium members must be
legally organized as an incorporated
organization or other legal entity and
have legal authority to contract with the
Federal Government.’’
However, there were a number of
potential applicants that requested
further clarification on the requirement
that Consortium members be located in
the Delta Region. Specifically, if an
organization has contractors working in
the Delta Region, but the organization
does not have a physical address and/
or headquarters located in the Delta
Region, would the organization be
considered an eligible Consortium
member.
Consortium members must have a
physical address and/or headquarters
located in the Delta Region to be eligible
to apply for the Delta Health Care
Services grant program. Delta Region
means the 252 counties and parishes
within the states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee
that are served by the Delta Regional
Authority
To ensure that all applicants are
treated fairly, applicants who submitted
an application in accordance with the
original deadline may revise and
resubmit their applications as necessary.
Applicants who wish to revise their
applications must resubmit their
application by October 10, 2017.
