AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Replacement Awards to Sunset Park 
Health Council, Inc.

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

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will 
transfer the remaining American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) from Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical 
Centers (SVCMC) of New York, current grantee of record, to Sunset Park 
Health Council (SPHC), Inc. in order to continue primary health care 
services to low-income, underserved homeless patients in New York City.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Former Grantee of Record: Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers 
of New York.
    Original Period of Grant Support: ARRA CIP Funds--June 29, 2009, to 
June 28, 2011.
    Replacement Awardee: Sunset Park Health Council, Inc.
    Amount of Replacement Award: $515,385
    Period of Replacement Award: The period of support for this award 
is February 18, 2011, to June 28, 2011.
    Authority: Section 330(h) of the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C. 245b.
    CDFA Number: 93.703
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: The former grantee, 
Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers of New York, relinquished all 
grants due to financial difficulties resulting in bankruptcy and 
closure of facilities and programs. HRSA announced a fiscal year 2011 
Service Area Competition (SAC) opportunity for the Section 330(h) 
project and funds. Sunset Park Health Council, Inc. has been awarded 
the Section 330(h) project and funds resulting from the fiscal year 
2011 SAC opportunity. SPHC will be awarded the remaining CIP funds, and 
will implement and carry out grant activities originally proposed under 
SVCMC funded ARRA grant applications. These activities include 
installation and upgrade of computer equipment, a roll

out of an electronic medical record, and the purchase and use of a 
mobile medical van.
    SPHC is an experienced provider of care and has a demonstrated 
record of compliance with Health Center Program statutory and 
regulatory requirements and is located in the same geographical area. 
The transfer of the ARRA Capital Improvement Project funds will ensure 
that critical primary health care services continue and remain 
available to the low-income, underserved homeless patients with no 
interruption in services to the target population.
