Availability of Funds for the National Health Service Corps Loan 
Repayment Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, PHS, HHS.

ACTION: Extension of deadline date.

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

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 
published a document in the Federal Register of March 28, 1997, 
concerning availability of funds for the National Health Service Corps 
(NHSC) Loan Repayment Program (LRP). The deadline date needs to be 
extended.
    In the Federal Register issue of Friday, March 28, 1997, in FR Doc. 
97-7838, on page 14925, in the second column, correct the ``Dates'' 
caption to read:

DATES: The deadline for applications is August 31, 1997, or until all 
appropriated funds have been obligated, whichever occurs first. Due to 
limited funding, it is anticipated that all appropriated funds will be 
obligated prior to August 31, 1997. The volume of applications is 
historically three times greater than the number of contracts that can 
be awarded. Therefore, to receive consideration for funding, health 
professionals must submit an application and proof of a job offer at an 
approved NHSC LRP Service Site.

    Dated: April 9, 1997.
Claude Earl Fox,
Acting Administrator.
