AGENCY:

Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Secretary.

ACTION:

Notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Office of Population Affairs, Office of Public Health and Science, Department of Health and Human Services, published a notice in the Federal Register July 7, 2004, announcing the anticipated availability of funds for family planning services grants. This notice contained an error. An eligible Population/area was not listed as available for competition in 2005. A document correcting the omission of the Seattle, Washington Population/area as competitive in 2005 was published in the Federal Register August 10, 2004. Later, two additional Populations/areas, Illinois, Chicago area and Arizona, Navajo Nation, became available for competition in 2005. A second correction notice was published in the Federal Register November 22, 2004, which included all Populations/areas available for competition in 2005.

Since that time, it has been recognized that the project period start date indicated in Table I for the Seattle, Washington Population/area is incorrect. This notice corrects the project period start date to 09/30/2005 for the FY 2005 competitive year. However, the first year of the project period beginning 09/30/2005 will be abbreviated. The budget period for the 01-year will end on 06/30/2006. In subsequent years, the annualized budget period will begin on 07/01 of each project period year, and will end on 06/30 of each project period year. The purpose of this change is to modify the project period start and end dates for the Seattle, Washington Population/area in order to enhance project oversight.
