Justification for the Exception to Competition

    The reason for this exception is to allow sufficient time for the 
HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to align its fiscal 
resources and programmatic goals:
     With the developing Maternal and Child Health Strategic 
Plan and with HRSA and Departmental plans; and,
     With the Early Learning and Development Initiative of the 
Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of 
Education; and, to maintain during this transition period MCH 
programmatic support to the State and community MCH constituencies 
which currently are receiving technical assistance services from these 
MCHB grantees.
    The activities listed in the previous paragraph will not be 
completed in time for the FY 2010 grant competition. The MCHB proposes, 
therefore, to extend into FY 2011 the project periods of those grants 
scheduled to conclude in FY 2010 in order to have a larger and more 
current grant competition in FY 2011 reflective of any and all 
programmatic changes resulting from the above referenced activities and 
actions. Delaying the competition into FY 2011 also allows the MCHB 
additional time to consult with and provide information to constituency 
groups about changes in program direction. Providing an extension with 
funds to these grantees through January 31, 2011, will ensure the 
provision of technical assistance to the affected MCH constituencies 
continues without disruption.

    Dated: February 9, 2010.

Administrator.
