**FEDERAL FUNDING REPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS**

This Federal Funding Report is a weekly compilation of items published
in the Federal Register which affect Federal domestic assistance
programs. No attempt is made to include Federal Register notices not
directly related to Grants and Loans programs. The summary consists of
three parts: (1) Federal Register Summary, (2) Early Warning Grants
Report, and (3) Disaster Loan Applications.

Periodically, a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number
will not be listed in the announcement. There are two (2) basic reasons
for this: 1) a CFDA number has been applied for and not yet received, or
2) the CFDA number has not been put in by the agency yet. Please call
the contact person listed in the Federal Register announcement for the
correct CFDA number. The new number should appear in the next edition of
the CFDA, which is published in June and December of each year.

**SUMMARY:** Proposed rule regarding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services; Establishment of Revisit User Fee Program for Medicare Survey
and Certification Activities. This proposed rule would allow CMS to
charge revisit user fees to health care facilities cited for
deficiencies during initial certification, recertification, or
substantiated complaint surveys. Consistent with the President's
long-term goal to promote quality of health care and to cut the deficit
in half by fiscal year (FY) 2009, the FY 2007 Department of Health and
Human Services' (HHS) budget request included both new mandatory savings
proposals and a requirement that user fees be applied to health care
providers that have failed to comply with Federal quality of care
requirements.

**SUMMARY:** Proposed rule regarding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services; Establishment of Revisit User Fee Program for Medicare Survey
and Certification Activities. This proposed rule would allow CMS to
charge revisit user fees to health care facilities cited for
deficiencies during initial certification, recertification, or
substantiated complaint surveys. Consistent with the President's
long-term goal to promote quality of health care and to cut the deficit
in half by fiscal year (FY) 2009, the FY 2007 Department of Health and
Human Services' (HHS) budget request included both new mandatory savings
proposals and a requirement that user fees be applied to health care
providers that have failed to comply with Federal quality of care
requirements.

currently have approved applications under the CSP are ineligible to

in fact, eligible to apply directly to the Department for CSP grants
