DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Notice To Announce Project Period Extensions With Funding for 
Health Center Program Award Recipients in Pago Pago, American Samoa; 
Bishop, California; Baltimore, Maryland; and Worcester, Massachusetts

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department 
of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Additional grant funds were provided to four Health Center 
Program award recipients with project periods ending in fiscal year 
(FY) 2019 to extend their project periods by up to four months to 
ensure the ongoing delivery of services until a new award could be 
made.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Recipients of the Award: Four award recipients, as listed in Table 
1, in Pago Pago, American Samoa; Bishop, California; Baltimore, 
Maryland; and Worcester, Massachusetts.
    Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: $3,066,387.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: FY 2019.
    Assistance Listings (CFDA) Number: 93.224.
    Authority: Public Health Service Act, Section 330, as amended (42 
U.S.C. 254b, as amended).
    Justification: HRSA extended the FY 2019 project periods with 
prorated supplemental grant funds to four award recipients by up to 
four months until a new award is made for each service area. Continued 
funding to the Health Center Program award recipients ensured that 
individuals in the service areas received uninterrupted access to 
needed health care services. The approvals enabled HRSA to support 
consistent health care to beneficiaries, eliminate delays in funding 
gaps, and demonstrate administrative efficiencies. HRSA awarded 
approximately $3 million to the four existing Health Center Program 
award recipients noted in Table 1.
