Justification

    The Health Resources and Services Administration will be issuing a 
noncompetitive award for the State and Regional Primary Care 
Associations Cooperative Program. Approximately $13,378,721 will be 
made available in the form of a cooperative agreement to the above list 
of awardees to extend their April 1, 2016, to March 31, 2017, project 
and budget period by 3 months to end on June 30, 2017.
    The program is authorized by section 330(l) of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act, as amended, to issue grants, cooperative agreements, 
and contracts to provide necessary technical and non-financial 
assistance to potential and existing section 330 health centers. 
Recipients of these cooperative agreements conduct statewide/regional 
training and technical assistance activities to assist potential and 
existing health centers in the identified state/region to meet Health 
Center Program requirements, improve organizational performance, and 
provide statewide/regional technical assistance.
    Through this program, HRSA enters into cooperative agreements with 
state and regional organizations to provide training and technical 
assistance. The training and technical assistance activities are based 
on the identified statewide/regional needs as well as program 
assistance activities based on HRSA priorities.
