beam. The device is classified as an

accessory to the image-intensified

Response to Comments

The Department published a notice in

the Federal Register on March 30, 2001

(66 FR 17433) requesting public

comments on increasing income levels

used to identify a ‘‘low-income’’ family

for the purpose of providing training in

the various health professions and

nursing programs included in titles VII

and VIII of the PHS Act. The

Department received five letters. Each

commenter supported the new formula

that increases income levels used to

identify a ‘‘low-income’’ family.

Low-Income Levels

The Secretary defines a ‘‘low-income’’

family for programs included in titles

VII and VIII of the PHS Act as having

an annual income that does not exceed

200 percent of the Department’s poverty

guidelines. The Department’s poverty

guidelines are based on poverty

thresholds published by the U.S. Bureau

of the Census, adjusted annually for

changes in the Consumer Price Index.

The Secretary annually adjusts the

low-income levels based on the

Department’s poverty guidelines and

makes them available to persons

responsible for administering the

applicable programs. The following

income figures will be used for health

professions and nursing grant

applications requesting FY 2002

funding.
