ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is 
publishing notice of its intent to rescind and remove various Public 
Health Service (PHS) health professions, nursing, public health, and 
allied health training grant regulations from the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) at 42 CFR parts 57 and 58. (The student loan program 
regulations in part 57 will not be removed.)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Tise, Acting Chief, Planning, 
Evaluation and Legislation Branch, Office of Research and Planning, 
Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services 
Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 8-67, Rockville, MD 20857; 
telephone number (301) 443-2381.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:. We are announcing our intent to remove by 
technical amendment (final rule) some of the Agency's health 
professions, nursing, public health, and allied health training grant 
program regulations under 42 CFR parts 57 and 58 from the Code of 
Federal Regulations. The statutory authorities of these regulations 
have been extensively amended since their issuance. Consequently, the 
regulations no longer reflect the current law.
    This action will be announced in the Department's October 1999 
Regulatory Plan and the Semiannual Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 
and Deregulatory Actions, published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: September 23, 1999.
