Grant applications and additional information regarding business, administrative or fiscal issues related to the awarding of grants under this Notice may be requested from Ms. Glenna Wilcom, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Health Resources Development, Health Resources and Services Administration, Parklawn Building, Room 7-27, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, (301) 443-2280. Applicants for grants will use Form PHS 5161-1, approved under OMB Control Number 0937-0189. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Program Background and Objectives Pub. L. 104-134 provides funds for grants under the authority of Section 1610 of the PHS Act. Section 1610(b) provides that the amount of any grant may not exceed 80 percent of the cost of the project for which the grant is made unless the project is located in an area determined by the Secretary to be an urban or rural poverty area, in which case the grant may cover up to 100 percent of such costs. (Urban or rural poverty area is defined as a medically underserved area designated by the Secretary (42 CFR 51c.102).) To determine if the proposed project location is in a medically underserved area, the applicant may contact the Analysis and Reporting Branch, Division of Facilities Compliance and Recovery, (301) 443-4303. However, before a determination can be made, the census tract of the facility must be known. Appendix III provides the telephone numbers for regional offices of the Census Bureau. The regional offices can provide information about census tracts. Availability of Funds A total of $10,000,000 is available in FY 1996 to be awarded in the following categories: A--Health Care for Women Construction or modernization of an outpatient medical facility located apart from a hospital or conversion of an existing facility to an outpatient facility which will provide services for women with diverse socioeconomic and medical needs and which serves medically underserved populations. Approximately $3.3 million is available to fund between one and six projects in this category. B--Rural Health Care Construction or modernization of an outpatient medical facility located apart from a hospital or conversion of an existing facility to an outpatient facility which will serve medically underserved populations and will improve rural health care access. Approximately $3.3 million is available to fund between one and six projects in this category. C--Oral Health Care Construction or modernization of an oral health care facility located apart from a hospital or conversion of an existing facility to an oral health care facility providing dental services to medically and dentally underserved populations, which also conducts oral health services research. Approximately $3.3 million is available to fund between one and six projects in this category. Eligible Applicants To be eligible, an applicant must: (1) Be a public or private non-profit entity; (2) Have a source of funding to meet the non-Federal portion of the eligible construction cost; and (3) Have title to a building site or have a lease which includes the time of construction plus 20 years of operation, or have a written commitment to acquire such title or lease within 3 months from the date of the grant award. In addition to the above general eligibility criteria, the following applies to specific categories: A--Women's Health Care The applicant must serve a socio-economically diverse population of women with diverse health needs. B--Rural Health Care The applicant must meet one of the three requirements stated below.

IF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS LOCATED IN ONE OF THESE AREAS, IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM unless it meets one of the other two criteria listed below. [[Page 30078]] (2) Some Metropolitan Statistical Areas on the list are extremely large. Therefore, these areas have been divided into rural and urban census tracts. Included in Appendix II is a list of these Metropolitan Statistical Areas and the rural census tracts in each area. IF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS LOCATED WITHIN ONE OF THESE CENSUS TRACTS, IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM. (IF THE APPLICANT IS ELIGIBLE UNDER THIS CRITERION, THE COUNTY AND CENSUS TRACT MUST BE LISTED UNDER ITEM #5 ON THE FACE PAGE OF THE APPLICATION OR THE APPLICATION WILL BE RETURNED. Appendix III provides the telephone numbers for regional offices of the Census Bureau. The appropriate office can provide information about census tracts.)

These projects are eligible regardless of the urban or rural location. C--Oral Health Care (1) The applicant must be a dental school, post-graduate training (residency) institution, a local health department clinic, or a community based care organization; (2) The applicant must operate an ongoing program of oral health services research; and (3) The proposed project must result in the provision of outpatient oral health services needed by a medically and dentally underserved population. APPLICANTS MAY ONLY REQUEST FUNDING FOR ONE CATEGORY. Further, applicants must agree in writing to provide: (1) An assurance (referred to as the community services assurance) that, at all times after such application is approved, the facility or portion thereof to be constructed or renovated will be made available to persons residing or employed in the area served by the facility who need the services offered by the facility, in accordance with 42 CFR Part 124, Subpart G; and (2) An assurance (referred to as the uncompensated services assurance) that a reasonable volume of services will be available to persons unable to pay for care in the facility or the portion thereof which is to be constructed or renovated, in accordance with 42 CFR Part 124, Subpart F (OMB Clearance Number 0915-0077). THIS OBLIGATION CONTINUES IN PERPETUITY. In addition, before grant funds can be released, the grantee must: (1) Record the notice of the Federal interest and grant recovery rights as described in section 1622 of the PHS Act at its local land records office; and (2) Obtain a statement from the lessor (if the property is to be leased) that it is understood that there will be a notice of the Federal interest and grant recovery rights at the local land records office. Evaluation Criteria Applicants must meet the following criteria. Projects will be reviewed on a competitive basis by an objective review committee based on an assessment of how well applicants meet the evaluation criteria: (1) Clarity of defined service program goals and objectives; degree to which the specific activities required to accomplish the service goals of the proposed project are defined; (2) Degree to which the needs assessment justifies the scope of services proposed by the project, including the number of persons to be served.

[[Page 30079]] Allowable Costs A successful applicant under this Notice must spend funds it receives according to the approved application and budget; the authorizing legislation; terms and conditions of the grant award; the regulations of the Department and PHS applicable to grants; the applicable Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular for public and private non-profit grantees; and Appendix II of the PHS Grants Policy Statement applicable to construction. State Offices of Rural Health Category B applicants should notify their State Office of Rural Health of their intent to apply for this grant program. The State Office can provide information on rural health care needs within the State. Other Award Information Grants awarded under this notice are subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12372, as implemented under 45 CFR Part 100, which allows States the option of setting up a system for reviewing applications within their States for assistance under certain Federal programs. The application packages to be made available by HRSA will contain a listing of States which have chosen to set up such a review system and will provide a point of contact in the States for the review. Applicants (other than Federally recognized Indian tribal governments) should contact their State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) as early as possible to alert them to the prospective applications and receive any necessary instructions on the State process. For proposed projects serving more than one State, the applicant is advised to contact the SPOC of each affected State. The due date for State process recommendations is 60 days after the application deadline date for new and competing awards. The HRSA does not guarantee that it will accommodate or explain its responses to State process recommendations received after the due date. PHS strongly encourages all grant and contract recipients to provide a smoke-free workplace and to promote the nonuse of all tobacco products. In addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits smoking in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of a facility) in which regular or routine education, library, day care, health care, or early childhood development services are provided to children. The PHS is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease prevention objectives of Healthy People 2000, a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. The program announcement, ``Project Grants for Renovation or Construction of Non-Acute Health Care Facilities,'' is related to the priority areas of maternal health, oral health, and services to underserved populations. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of Healthy People 2000 (Full Report: Stock No. 017-001-00474-0) or Healthy People 2000 (Summary Report: Stock No. 017-001-00473-1) through the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (Telephone (202) 783-3238). Use of metric units in application plans, design, and project construction Per Executive Order 12770, July 1991, all construction projects funded in whole or in part with Federal funds must use System International (SI) Metric Units. Usage shall conform to Federal Standard 376B, Preferred Metric Units for General Use by the Federal Government. Applicants must use this system (SI) for planning, estimating, design and construction phases of Federally supported projects.
