Maternal and Child Health Services; Federal Set-Aside Program; 
Genetic Services and Maternal and Child Improvement Projects for Fiscal 
Year (FY) 1995: Cancellation of Cycle for Certain Grants and 
Cooperative Agreements; Extension of Certain Application Deadline Dates

    Notice of Availability of Funds for Special Project Grants and 
Cooperative Agreements; Maternal and Child Health Services; Federal 
Set-Aside Program; Genetic Services and Maternal and Child Improvement 
Projects for fiscal year (FY) 1995, section 502(a), title V of the 
Social Security Act, was published on February 13, 1995, at 60 FR 8244. 
Section 4.1.2.1. of this notice announced the availability of funds for 
2 grants in the Maternal, Infant, Child and Adolescent Health category 
priority identified as ``Content and Organization of Care for Women of 
Childbearing Age, Infants, Children, Adolescents, and their Families.'' 
Section 4.2.3. of the notice announced the availability of funds for up 
to four cooperative agreements in the Childhood Injury Prevention 
category.
    Since publication of this notice, it has been determined that 
amounts allocated for grants under Section 4.1.2.1. are insufficient to 
permit a competitive grant cycle in the ``Content and Organization of 
Care'' priority for FY 1995. As a result, this competition is herewith 
canceled. Additionally, the Department has decided that it prefers to 
implement contracts rather than award cooperative agreements in order 
to acquire the work it wishes to have accomplished by the centers 
described in the Section 4.2.3. Childhood Injury Prevention category. 
This competition is also herewith canceled. It is anticipated that 
contracts for this purpose will be awarded during the second quarter of 
FY 1996; a request for proposals will be advertised at the appropriate 
time. To ensure continuity in this activity until then, the cooperative 
agreements with existing Childhood Injury Prevention centers will be 
extended for six months, through February 1996.
    Two of the deadline dates announced in the February 13, Notice of 
Availability of Funds for Special Project Grants and Cooperative 
Agreements; Maternal and Child Health Services; Federal Set-Aside 
Program; Genetic Services and Maternal and Child Improvement Projects 
for fiscal year (FY) 1995, are being extended. The deadline date for 
the remaining grants announced under Section 1.2.1. is hereby extended 
to May 10, 1995. In [[Page 14763]] addition, the deadline date for 
cooperative agreements for Out-of-Home Child Care Health and Safety 
announced under Section 2.2.4. is hereby extended to June 9, 1995.
    The rest of the notice remains as published.

    Dated: March 14, 1995.

Administrator.
