Proposed Project: Grants for Hospital Construction and Modernization--
Federal Right of Recovery and Waiver of Recovery (42 CFR Part 124, 
Subpart H) (OMB No. 0915-0099 Extension)

    The regulation known as ``Federal Right of Recovery and Waiver of 
Recovery,'' provides a means for the Federal Government to recover 
grant funds and a method of calculating interest when a grant-assisted 
facility under Titles VI and XVI of the Public Health Service Act is 
sold or leased, or there is a change in use of the facility. It also 
allows for a waiver of the right of recovery under certain 
circumstances. Facilities are required to provide written notice to the 
Federal Government when such a change occurs: and to provide copies of 
sales contacts, lease agreements, estimates of current assets and 
liabilities, value of equipment, expected value of land on the new 
owner's books and remaining depreciation for all fixed assets involved 
in the transactions, and other information and documents pertinent to 
the change of status.
    Estimates of annualized burden are as follows:
