    A notice was published in the Federal Register at 62 FR 46502 on 
September 3, 1997, for a review criterion for the above-referenced 
programs. No comments were received within the 30 day comment period. 
Therefore, the review criterion remains as proposed.

Final Review Criterion

    The following criterion has been added to the existing review 
criteria established in 61 FR 52034 on October 4, 1996:
    5. Project impact/influence in shaping the curriculum, program, 
department, institution and the community.
    The review criterion is finalized in this combined notice, rather 
than individual program announcements, to provide consistent review of 
all primary care medical education grant applications.
