Y2K (Year 2000)

Y2K compliance is a priority for

HRSA. On February 4, 1998, the

President issued Executive Order 13073

addressing Year 2000 Conversion

activities. Because of a design feature in

many electronic systems which

displayed the year as a two-digit

number, a large number of activities in

the public and private sectors could be

at-risk beginning in the year 2000.

Federal Policies for Agencies

addressed in Executive Order 13073

include:

Assurance that no critical Federal

program experience disruption due to a

Y2K problem;

Assistance and cooperation with

State, local and tribal governments

where those governments depend on

Federal information or the Federal

Government is dependent on those

governments to perform critical

missions; and

Cooperation with the private sector

operators of critical national and local

systems, including the banking and

financial system, the

telecommunications system, the public

health system, the transportation

system, and the electric power

generation system.

In keeping with this Executive Order,

HRSA has assigned Y2K a high priority

for its external customers. As an

applicant or grantee of the public health

system, you should address your plans

and status of your organization’s efforts

to become Year 2000 compliant as part

of business or operational plan.
