SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA)
Program Deeming Application for
Health Centers, OMB No. 0906–XXXX—
NEW.
SUMMARY:
Abstract: Section 224(g)–(n) of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42
U.S.C. 233(g)–(n)), as amended,
authorizes the ‘‘deeming’’ of entities
receiving funds under section 330 of the
PHS Act as PHS employees for the
purposes of receiving Federal Tort
Claims Act (FTCA) coverage. The Health
Center Program is administered by
HRSA. Health centers submit deeming
applications to HRSA in the prescribed
form and manner in order to obtain
deemed PHS employee status, with the
associated FTCA coverage.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Deeming applications must
address certain specified criteria
required by law in order for deeming
determinations to be issued, and FTCA
application forms are critical to HRSA’s
deeming determination process. These
forms provide HRSA with the
information essential for application
evaluation and a deeming determination
for the purposes of FTCA coverage. The
application information is also used to
determine whether a site visit is
appropriate to assess issues relating to
the health center’s quality of care and to
determine technical assistance needs.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include Health Center Program funds
recipients seeking deemed PHS
employee status for purposes of FTCA
coverage.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Acting Director, Division of the Executive
Secretariat.
HRSA provided additional
grant funds to 4 award recipients in
Puerto Rico with project periods ending
in fiscal year 2018 to extend their
current project periods by 12 months to
prevent interruptions in the provision of
critical health care services while they
recover from Hurricane Maria.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recipients of the Award: Four Health
Center Program award recipients in
Puerto Rico vulnerable to a lapse in
service provision in their service areas
due to the impact of Hurricane Maria on
the operational resources available for
competitive application preparation for
fiscal year 2018, as listed in Table 1.
Amount of Non-Competitive Awards:
Four awards for $17,482,070.
Period of Supplemental Funding:
Fiscal year 2018.
CFDA Number: 93.224.
Authority: Section 330 of the Public
Health Service Act, as amended (42
U.S.C. 254b, as amended).

Announcing Project Period Extensions
With Funding for Health Center
Program Award Recipients in Puerto
Rico; Health Center Program
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
AGENCY:
Announcing project period
extensions with Funding for Health
Center Program Award recipients in
Puerto Rico.
ACTION:
Justification: In September 2017, HHS
declared a hurricane-related public
health emergency in Puerto Rico. Health
centers in Puerto Rico and the patients
they serve continue to face significant
challenges associated with recovery
from Hurricane Maria. For these four
award recipients, the funding permits
them to continue to operate in the
current fiscal year before submitting
competitive applications by the end of
the 12-month extension period.
Extending the project period and
providing flexibility for competing
applications for these four award
recipients aligns with the Office of
Management and Budget’s
memorandum to provide short-term
relief to affected award recipients,
‘‘Administrative Relief for Grantees
Impacted by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma,
and Maria,’’ signed on October 26, 2017.
HRSA awarded approximately $17
million to the four existing Health
Center Program award recipients noted
in Table 1.
