insurance premiums on the unpaid

balances of some loans)—should be

determined as accurately as possible

and reported by the applicant on each

form. This enables the CIR–LRP to

reserve adequate funds for loan

repayments under the contract should

the applicant become a CIR–LRP

participant. The CIR–LRP will send the

loan verification forms to each lender

for verification. If the CIR–LRP is unable

to obtain adequate loan verification

from the lender, the applicant may be

asked to submit other documentation,

such as copies of the original loan

application, to document that the loan

(or a stated portion of the loan) was

obtained for the educational purposes

stated previously.

Financial obligations not qualifying

for repayment include:

(1) Physician Storage Area

Scholarship Program;

(2) Public Health Service and National

Health Service Corps Scholarship

Programs;

(3) Armed Forces (Army, Navy or Air

Force) Health Professions Scholarship

Programs;

(4) Indian Health Service Scholarship

Program;

(5) National Research Service Award

Program;

(6) Loans for which contemporaneous

documentation is not available;

(7) Loans or ‘‘scholarship’’

arrangements which impose financial

obligations upon the applicant if service

is not performed;

(8) Loans without a promissory note

made when the loan was given;

(9) Loans that are delinquent;

(10) Loans, or those parts of loans,

obtained for educational or living

expenses while at school, which exceed

the ‘‘reasonable’’ level, as determined by

a review of the school’s standard school

budget or additional contemporaneous

documentation for the year in which the

loan was made, as determined by the

CIR–LRP;

(11) Loans which have been paid in

full;

(12) Loans not obtained from a

Government entity or commercial or

other charter lending institution, such

as loans from friends and relatives or

other private individuals;

(13) Loans for graduate studies

obtained following entry into the CIR–

LRP.

Breach of the Loan Repayment

Agreement

In the event that the participant fails

to begin or complete the two-year

minimum period of obligatory

participation in contraception or

infertility research at a CIR Center as set

forth in the contract, and payments have

been rendered to the lenders on behalf

of the individual, he/she is in breach of

the contractual agreement, and is liable

to pay monetary damages to the United

States Government. Participants who

leave during the first year of the initial

contract are liable for amounts already

paid by the Program plus an amount

equal to $1,000 multiplied by the

number of months of the original

obligation. Participants who leave

during the second year of the contract

are liable for (a) the total of the amounts

the Program paid the lenders, plus (b)

an ‘‘unserved obligation penalty’’ of

$1,000 for each month unserved. If a

participant completed the two-year

minimum obligatory period, but cannot

complete additional obligatory periods,

no obligation penalties will be levied,

but the participant will owe the United

States for any payments the CIR–LRP

made to the lenders for which service by

the participant was not performed

unless, in the opinion of the CIR–LRP

Panel, they continue to participate in

contraception and/or infertility research

during the additional obligatory periods.

If a participant must terminate

employment/training at a CIR Center for

reasons beyond his/her control, and

transfers to a site other than a CIR

Center, payments will cease upon

transfer. He/she may not be liable for

monetary damages as described above,

if, in the judgment of the CIR–LRP

Panel, he/she continues to participate in

contraception and/or infertility

research. However, if he/she transfers to

another CIR Center with the approval of

the Director, NICHD, the contract will

be amended and the participant will

still be considered bound by the

ongoing contract obligations, and the

lenders will continue to receive

payments on behalf of the participant

according to schedule.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

[Docket No. FR–4120–N–04]

Assessment of the Reasonable

Revitalization Potential of Certain

Public Housing Required By Law;

Further Amendment to Timeframes

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: On September 26, 1996, the

Department published a notice which

implements section 202 of the Omnibus

Consolidated Rescissions and

Appropriations Act of 1996. Section 202

requires PHAs to identify certain

distressed public housing developments

that will be required to be replaced with

tenant-based assistance if they cannot be

revitalized by any reasonable means. In

that eventuality, households in

occupancy would be offered tenantbased or project-based assistance and

would be relocated—if sufficient

housing will not be maintained,

rehabilitated, or replaced on the current

site—to other decent, safe, sanitary, and

affordable housing which is, to the

maximum extent practicable, housing of

their choice.

On December 26, 1996, at 61 FR

68048, the Department issued a notice

which amended the timeframes that the

Department set in the September 26,

1996 notice for accomplishing the

standards necessary for compliance

with section 202. This notice makes a

further amendment to the timeframes by

extending the March 31, 1997 deadline

for accomplishing Standard D until June

30, 1997.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rod

Solomon, Senior Director for Policy and

Legislation, Public and Indian Housing,

Room 4116, Department of Housing and

Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW,

Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

202 of the Omnibus Consolidated

Rescissions and Appropriations Act of

1996 (Pub. L. 104–134, 110 Stat. 1321–
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 56 / Monday, March 24, 1997 / Notices 13895

279, 42 U.S.C. 1437l note) (‘‘OCRA’’)

requires PHAs to identify certain

distressed public housing developments

that will be required to be assessed.

Households in occupancy would be

offered tenant-based or project-based

assistance (that can include other public

housing units) and would be relocated—

if sufficient housing will not be

maintained, rehabilitated, or replaced

on the current site—to other decent,

safe, sanitary, and affordable housing

which is, to the maximum extent

practicable, housing of their choice.

After residents are relocated, the

distressed developments (or affected

buildings) for which no reasonable

means of revitalization exists will be

removed from the public housing

inventory.

On September 26, 1996, at 61 FR

50632, the Department published a

notice to implement section 202 of

OCRA. The notice established the

standards for conducting the

assessments and the conversion plan. It

also set forth certain timeframes for

meeting those standards. The

timeframes set in that notice were

amended by publication of a notice in

the Federal Register on December 26,

1996, at 61 FR 68048, in order to be

equitable to all of the housing

authorities to be assessed. This notice

further amends the timeframes by

extending the March 31, 1997 deadline

for accomplishing Standard D until June

30, 1997. Based on further analysis and

the public comments received on the

September 26, 1996 notice, an interim

rule will be issued in the near future

which will further address Standard D,

as well as respond to the public

comments received.

Dated: March 20, 1997.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and

Indian Housing.
