SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Statutory Mandate 

On March 18, 2022, the President 

signed into law the John Lewis NIMHD 

Research Endowment Revitalization Act 

of 2021, Public Law (Pub. L.) 117–104. 

Section 2 of this law amended section 

464z–3(h) of the Public Health Service 

(PHS) Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 

285t(h)) by revising program eligibility 

requirements to include eligible current 

or former Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) centers of 

excellence under section 736 of the PHS 

Act and eligible current or former 

NIMHD centers of excellence under 

section 464z–4 of the PHS Act. 

The program was originally 

authorized under the Minority Health 

and Health Disparities Research and 

Education Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106– 

525). The law provided annual funding 

for up to five years to the endowments 

of active eligible HRSA centers of 

excellence. In 2010, the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(Pub. L. 111–148) expanded eligibility 

to include active eligible NIMHD 

centers of excellence. Public Law 117– 

104, enacted in 2022, expanded the 

eligibility for NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program awards to eligible 

current or former HRSA and NIMHD 

centers of excellence. Endowment funds 

must be invested and maintained for at 

least 20 years after the award period 

ends. 

The objective of the program and its 

awards is to build research and training 

capacity and infrastructure at eligible 

HRSA or NIMHD centers of excellence 

to facilitate minority health and other 

health disparities research and to close 

the disparity gap in the burden of illness 

and death experienced by racial and 

ethnic minority Americans and other 

health disparity populations. Program 

activities may include strengthening the 

research infrastructure through the 

renovation of facilities, purchasing of 

state-of-the-art instruments and 

equipment, and enhancing information 

technology; enhancing the academic 

environment by recruiting faculty and 

creating relevant training courses 

focused on minority health and health 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
96120 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 4, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

disparities, in addition to the existing 

curriculum, such as research 

methodology and health disparities; 

and/or other relevant activities. The 

expansion of eligibility for the program, 

recently renamed the John Lewis 

NIMHD Research Endowment Program, 

to include eligible current or former 

HRSA and NIMHD centers of excellence 

will serve to expand the national 

capacity of academic institutions to 

conduct research to improve minority 

health and reduce health disparities. 

Implementation of Public Law 17–104 

necessitates HHS, through NIH, to 

update the regulation codified at 42 CFR 

part 52i that governs the program. 

Specifically, paragraph (a)(1) of § 52i.3 

‘‘Who is eligible to apply?’’ needs to be 

updated to specify the expanded 

statutory eligibility for program awards, 

such that eligible current or former 

centers of excellence under section 736 

(42 U.S.C. 293) or section 464z–4 (42 

U.S.C. 285t–1) of the PHS Act, 

respectively, may now apply. 

Additionally, following enactment of 

Public Law 117–104, NIMHD changed 

the name of the program from the 

NIMHD Research Endowment Program 

to the John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program to reflect the 

honor that the United States Congress 

bestowed upon John Lewis by naming 

the legislation expanding eligibility for 

the program after him. John Robert 

Lewis served in the U.S. House of 

Representatives, representing Georgia’s 

5th Congressional District from 1987 

until his death in 2020 with 

longstanding commitment to improving 

minority health and health disparities. 

Consequently, the heading of the 

regulation that governs the program 

must be amended to reflect the new 

name of the program. 

Other aspects of the regulation also 

need to be updated. In the heading for 

§ 52i.1 and in the accompanying Table 

of Contents reference to § 52i.1, the 

word ‘‘programs’’ in ‘‘To what programs 

does this part apply?’’ needs to be 

changed to ‘‘program’’ to correctly 

indicate that there is only one program 

to which part 52i applies, not multiple 

programs as the current heading 

incorrectly indicates. 

Additionally, in § 52i.13, ‘‘Other HHS 

policies and regulations that apply’’, 

there are outdated references to several 

regulations and policies with URLs that 

are not operational. The current 

references in paragraph (f) ‘‘45 CFR part 

74—Uniform administrative 

requirements for awards and subawards 

to institutions of higher education, 

hospitals, other nonprofit organizations, 

and commercial organizations; and the 

certain grants and agreements with 

states, local governments and Indian 

tribal governments’’, and paragraph (m) 

‘‘45 CFR part 92—Uniform 

administrative requirements for grants 

and cooperative agreements to State, 

local and tribal governments’’ are 

outdated and must be revised. The 

current references in paragraphs (o) 

concerning NIH Guidelines for Research 

Involving Recombinant or Synthetic 

Nucleic Acid Molecules, (p) concerning 

NIH Guidelines on the Inclusion of 

Women and Minorities as Subjects in 

Clinical Research, (q) concerning NIH 

Grants Policy Statement, and (r) 

concerning Public Health Service Policy 

on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory 

Animals contain outdated information 

and, in some cases, the URLs are not 

operational. These paragraphs need to 

be updated. 

Previously, HHS issued a direct final 

rule on November 16, 2020 (85 FR 

72899–72912) amending certain 

regulations as part of its Regulatory 

Clean Up Initiative to make 

miscellaneous corrections, including 

correcting references to other 

regulations, misspellings, and other 

typographical errors. These corrections 

included several changes in 42 CFR part 

52i. However, the revisions that now are 

necessary in § 52i.13 were not included 

in the direct final rule. 

HHS announced its intentions to 

initiate this rulemaking action in the 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

titled ‘‘National Institute on Minority 

Health and Health Disparities Research 

Endowment Programs’’ that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 4, 2023 (88 FR 68553). The 

NPRM provided a sixty-day public 

comment period. The comment period 

ended December 4, 2023. 

In the NPRM, we proposed to amend 

the Code of Federal Regulations by 

revising the heading for 42 CFR part 52i 

to read ‘‘Part 52i—John Lewis NIMHD 

Research Endowment Program’’ to 

reflect the new name of the program, the 

John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program. 

We proposed to amend the heading 

for § 52i.1 ‘‘To what programs does this 

part apply?’’ by removing the word 

‘‘programs’’ and adding the word 

‘‘program’’ in its place to indicate that 

there is only one program, the John 

Lewis NIMHD Research Endowment 

Program, to which part 52i applies. 

Additionally, we proposed to amend 

§ 52i.3 ‘‘Who is eligible to apply?’’ by 

revising paragraph (a)(1) to read as 

follows: ‘‘Must be a current or former 

center of excellence under section 736 

(42 U.S.C. 293) or section 464z–4 (42 

U.S.C. 285t–1) of the Act, and’’. 

We further proposed to amend 

§ 52i.13 ‘‘Other HHS policies and 

regulations that apply’’ by: 

(1) Revising current paragraph (f), 

(2) Removing current paragraph (m), 

and redesignating current paragraph (n) 

as new paragraph (m), 

(3) Redesignating current paragraph 

(o) as new paragraph (n) and revising it, 

(4) Redesignating current paragraph 

(p) as new paragraph (o) and revising it, 

(5) Redesignating current paragraph 

(q) as new paragraph (p) and revising it, 

(6) Redesignating current paragraph 

(r) as new paragraph (q) and revising it, 

and 

(7) Removing paragraph (r). 

We stated in the NPRM that making 

these changes was necessary to 

implement Public Law 117–104 and 

would ensure the regulation is up to 

date. We added that the rule, when 

finalized, would add transparency for 

potential applicants regarding who is 

eligible to apply for a grant under the 

John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program. 

II. Summary of Public Comments 

We received five comments in 

response to the NPRM. One of the 

commenters agreed with the proposed 

rule, noting that implementation of 

Public Law 117–104 will lead to an 

increase in eligible applicants and will 

have a positive impact in addressing 

minority health disparities. 

A second commenter stated that the 

proposed rule was acceptable because it 

is more in line with the new name of the 

program recognized after the late John 

Lewis, and because the program aims to 

build more training and research 

capacity to reduce disparities in 

minority health treatment, the program 

eligibility requirements should mirror 

such to become more inclusive for 

minority applicants to apply. 

A third commenter thought the 

proposed rule should be expanded to 

create new medical schools at 

Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities (HBCUs), noting that it 

missed the opportunity to expand the 

number of Black doctors. Additionally, 

the commenter noted that there are only 

six Black medical schools in the 

country, and that with major health 

disparities in the Black community, it is 

essential to expand the number of 

providers who are committed to serving 

that population, The commenter noted 

that out of 10 states with the highest 

Black populations, only three have 

HBCUs with medicals schools. The 

commenter reiterated his belief that the 

proposed rule also should expand to 

include establishing medical schools in 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 4, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 96121 

these states at HBCUs to expand the 

provider pool. 

We appreciate the commenter taking 

the time to extensively comment on the 

proposed rule and we acknowledge the 

importance of addressing health 

disparities through a diverse healthcare 

workforce. The John Lewis NIMHD 

Research Endowment Program provides 

funding for endowments to invest in 

research infrastructure and training 

capacity at eligible institutions. The 

comment advocating expanding the 

criteria beyond the scope of the Program 

was determined to exceed the stated 

limited purpose of the proposed rule 

and beyond the authority provided by 

the Program’s authorizing statute. 

A fourth commenter stated the 

regulation should not be amended. No 

rationale was provided. 

Finally, a fifth comment was deemed 

not pertinent to the proposed rule, and 

thus is not discussed here. 

After considering these comments, we 

did not adopt any suggested changes. 

III. Regulatory Impact Analysis 

We examined the impacts of this rule 

under Executive Order 12866, 

Regulatory Planning and Review; 

Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review; 

Executive Order 14094, Modernizing 

Regulatory Review; Executive Order 

13132, Federalism; the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612); and 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 

14094 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). The Executive Order 14094 

entitled ‘‘Modernizing Regulatory 

Review’’ amends section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory 

Planning and Review). The amended 

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 

defines a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

as an action that is likely to result in a 

rule that may: (1) have an annual effect 

on the economy of $200 million or more 

in any 1 year (adjusted every 3 years by 

the Administrator of OIRA for changes 

in gross domestic product); or adversely 

affect in a material way the economy, a 

sector of the economy, productivity, 

competition, jobs, the environment, 

public health or safety, or State, local, 

territorial, or tribal governments or 

communities; (2) create a serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by 

another agency; (3) materially alter the 

budgetary impacts of entitlements, 

grants, user fees, or loan programs or the 

rights and obligations of recipients 

thereof; or (4) raise legal or policy issues 

for which centralized review would 

meaningfully further the President’s 

priorities or the principles set forth in 

this Executive order, as specifically 

authorized in a timely manner by the 

Administrator of OIRA in each case. 

A regulatory impact analysis (RIA) 

must be prepared for major rules with 

significant regulatory action/s and/or 

with significant effects as per section 

3(f)(1) ($200 million or more in any 1 

year). OMB’s Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs has determined that 

this rulemaking is ‘‘not significant’’ 

under section 3(f) and does not meet the 

criteria set forth in 5 U.S.C. 804(2) 

under Subtitle E of the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 

1996 (also known as the Congressional 

Review Act). Thus, an RIA is 

unnecessary. 

Executive Order 13132 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism, 

requires Federal agencies to consult 

with State and local government 

officials in the development of 

regulatory policies with federalism 

implications. We reviewed the 

rulemaking as required under the Order 

and determined that it does not have 

any federalism implications. This 

rulemaking will not have effect on the 

states or on the distribution of power 

and responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601–612) requires agencies to 

analyze regulatory options that would 

minimize any significant impact of the 

rule on small entities. For this analysis, 

small entities include small business 

concerns as defined by the Small 

Business Administration (SBA), usually 

businesses with fewer than 500 

employees. Also, a not-for-profit entity 

is defined by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act as small if it is independently 

owned and operated and not dominant 

in its field, regardless of the number of 

employees. Eligibility requirements of 

the John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program, as codified in 

Public Law 117–104, limits the universe 

of potential applicants to an estimated 

maximum of 42 institutions of higher 

education (IHEs). Utilizing sources of 

information such as local business 

bureaus, workforce statistics, and 

institution websites, a reasonable 

determination can be made from the 

approximate number of employees of 

eligible institutions. The range estimates 

are from 51–200 employees for the 

smallest institution to 10,600 employees 

for the largest. While most eligible 

institutions are considered small 

entities, the impact of this rulemaking 

will not exceed 5 percent of revenues of 

the entities. Accordingly, the Secretary 

certifies this rulemaking will not have a 

significant impact on a significant 

number of small entities. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

Section 202(a) of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires 

agencies to prepare a written statement, 

to include an assessment of anticipated 

costs and benefits, before proposing any 

rule that includes a Federal mandate 

that may result in the expenditure by 

State, local and tribal governments or 

more, in the aggregate or by the private 

sector, of $100,000.000 [adjusted 

annually for inflation (with base year 

1995)] in any 1 year. The current 

inflation-adjusted statutory threshold is 

approximately $183 million based on 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation 

calculator. The Secretary certifies that 

that this rulemaking does not mandate 

any spending by State, local, or tribal 

government in the aggregate or by the 

private sector. Participation in the John 

Lewis NIMHD Research Endowment 

Program is voluntary and not mandated. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not contain any new 

information collection requirements that 

are subject to Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35). However, part 52i 

contains information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

Specifically, §§ 52i.3(b)(2), 52i. 4(a), 

52i.4(c), 52i.5(a), 52i.9(b), 52i.11(b), and 

52i.11(d) of part 52i contain reporting 

requirements, and §§ 52i.10, 

52i.11(a)(1), 52i.11(a)(2), 52i.11(a)(3), 

52i.11(a)(4), and 52i.11(b) of part 52i 

contain recordkeeping requirements. 

These reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements are addressed in the grant 

application forms per OMB Control 

Number 0925–0001 and 0925–0002, 

which address the instructions for SF– 

424 and SF–2590. There is nothing that 

needs to be done regarding the burden 

associated with these requirements in 

part 52i, because it is already estimated 

based upon the data that is collected 

through the various eRA systems that 

grantees use. The approvals under OMB 

Control Number 0925–0001 and OMB 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
96122 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 4, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

Control Number 0925–0002 expire 

January 2026. 

We do not expect an increase in 

average burden per respondent because 

of the enactment of Public Law 117–104 

and the new expanded eligibility for 

research endowment awards that it 

mandates, or implementation of the 

program’s new expanded eligibility 

requirements through this proposed 

rule. Also, we do not expect a change 

in the number of responses per 

respondent. However, there likely will 

be a change in the number of 

respondents from 4 to 22, and the total 

of burden hours will need to be adjusted 

based on the number of respondents. 

We estimate the annualized burden to 

the respondents for reporting and 

recordkeeping under the John Lewis 

NIMHD Research Endowment Program 

as:

1There is currently a total of 42 institutions eligible for the John Lewis NIMHD Research Endowment Program, we estimate 22 institutions will 

apply. Historically, requests for applications are solicited every 5 years. 2Annual number of respondents × annual number of responses × average burden per response. 

When it is time to renew pre/post 

grant application forms, NIH will reach 

out to community members in a 2–3- 

year timeframe to determine if burden is 

the same, or if it has increased or 

decreased and provide additional input. 

The burden has already been accounted 

for at this time.
