DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Health Center Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of class deviation from competition requirements for the 
Health Center Program.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Awarding Agency Grants Administration 
Manual (AAGAM) Chapter 2.04.103, the Bureau of Primary Health Care 
(BPHC) has been granted a class deviation from the exceptions to 
maximum competition requirements contained in the AAGAM Chapter 
2.04.104A-5 to provide additional funding without competition to the 
115 Health Center Program awardees whose budget period ends October 31, 
2015, for up to 4 months. The extension allows BPHC to eliminate the 
November 1 budget period start date by redistributing these grants to 
established starting dates later in the fiscal year, thereby allowing 
awardees comparable opportunity to prepare and submit applications 
while allowing BPHC to remain compliant with internal process 
timelines.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Intended Recipient of the Award: Health Center Program awardees 
with a project period end date of October 31, 2015.
    Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: $44,481,501.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: November 1, 2015, to a maximum of 
February 28, 2016.

    CFDA Number: 93.224.


    Authority: Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended (42 U.S.C. 254b, as amended).

    Justification: Targeting the nation's neediest populations and 
geographic areas, the Health Center Program currently funds nearly 
1,300 health centers that operate approximately 9,000 service delivery 
sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin 
Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, 
including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received 
comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care 
services through the Health Center Program awardees. Due to the vast 
size of the Health Center Program, the active grants are distributed 
across eight budget periods that begin on the first of the month, 
November through June.
    BPHC uses the information awardees report annually via the Uniform 
Data System (UDS) to objectively determine the patient and service area 
requirements that new and continuing applications must address. The 
requirements are available for applicant use in June. The deviation 
allows BPHC to redistribute the awardees with November 1 start dates to 
budget period start dates later in the fiscal year, thus allowing these 
awardees comparable opportunity to prepare and submit applications 
while allowing BPHC to remain compliant with internal process 
timelines. By September 15, 2015, $44,481,501 will be awarded to these 
115 awardees to continue approved activities for up to 4 months. 
Awardees will report progress and financial obligations made during 
their budget period extension through routine reports.
