Announcing Project Period Extensions With Funding for Health 
Center Program Award Recipients in Puerto Rico; Health Center Program

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

ACTION: Announcing project period extensions with Funding for Health 
Center Program Award recipients in Puerto Rico.

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

SUMMARY: HRSA provided additional grant funds to 4 award recipients in 
Puerto Rico with project periods ending in fiscal year 2018 to extend 
their current project periods by 12 months to prevent interruptions in 
the provision of critical health care services while they recover from 
Hurricane Maria.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Recipients of the Award: Four Health Center Program award 
recipients in Puerto Rico vulnerable to a lapse in service provision in 
their service areas due to the impact of Hurricane Maria on the 
operational resources available for competitive application preparation 
for fiscal year 2018, as listed in Table 1.
    Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: Four awards for $17,482,070.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: Fiscal year 2018.
    CFDA Number: 93.224.
    Authority: Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended 
(42 U.S.C. 254b, as amended).
    Justification: In September 2017, HHS declared a hurricane-related 
public health emergency in Puerto Rico. Health centers in Puerto Rico 
and the patients they serve continue to face significant challenges 
associated with recovery from Hurricane Maria. For these four award 
recipients, the funding permits them to continue to operate in the 
current fiscal year before submitting competitive applications by the 
end of the 12-month extension period. Extending the project period and 
providing flexibility for competing applications for these four award 
recipients aligns with the Office of Management and Budget's memorandum 
to provide short-term relief to affected award recipients, 
``Administrative Relief for Grantees Impacted by Hurricanes Harvey, 
Irma, and Maria,'' signed on October 26, 2017.
    HRSA awarded approximately $17 million to the four existing Health 
Center Program award recipients noted in Table 1.
