Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2009 Service Area Competition--New 
and Competing Continuation Funding

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Change in application deadline and amendment of the available 
service areas.

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

SUMMARY: HRSA is announcing the reissuance of Fiscal Year 2009 Service 
Area Competition--New and Competing Continuation Funding (HRSA 
Announcement Numbers HRSA-09-095, HRSA-09-096, HRSA-09-097, and HRSA-
09-098). The HRSA Electronic Handbook (EHB) application deadline for 
project periods beginning in November and December 2008 has been 
changed and the list of available service areas has been updated.
    The new EHB application deadline for HRSA-09-095 is May 9, 2008. 
(The grants.gov application deadline of April 7, 2008 remains the 
same.) All other requirements of HRSA-09-095 remain the same. Please 
see the chart on pages 6 and 7 of the guidance for a complete listing 
of all application deadlines.
    In addition, corrections to two service areas listed in the Service 
Area Competition guidance have been made. In Appendix F of the 
guidance, Bismarck, ND, is incorrectly listed as an available service 
area in fiscal year (FY) 2009. The correct service area that is 
currently available in FY 2009 is Beulah, ND. Also, Clay, WV, is 
incorrectly listed as an available service area in FY 2009. The correct 
service area that is currently available in FY 2009 is Blacksville, WV. 
Bismarck, ND and Clay, WV, are not available service areas for the FY 
2009 Service Area Competition. For a complete listing of all available 
service areas for the FY 2009 Service Area Competition funding 
opportunity, please see Appendix F of the guidance.

DATES: The effective date of this amended Agency guidance is April 24, 
2008.
    Background: HRSA administers the Health Center Program, which 
supports more than 4,000 health care delivery sites, including 
community health centers, migrant health centers, health care for the 
homeless centers, and public housing primary care centers. Health 
centers serve clients that are primarily low-income and minorities, and 
deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health 
care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. Charges 
for health care services are set according to income.
