Cooperative Agreement for Border 

Health Best Practices 

AGENCY: Office of Rural Health Policy, 

HRSA, DHHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Single Source Award. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health 

Policy (ORHP), in cooperation with the 

Office of Global Health Affairs (OGHA), 

Office of Minority Health (OMH), Office 

on Women’s Health (OWH), and Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC) will award a one year single 

source award to the U.S.-Mexico Border 

Health Association (USMBHA) to 

identify and promote best practices in 

border communities. As defined in the 

La Paz Agreement, the border region is 

100 km north and south of the 

international boundary line between the 

United States and Mexico. Funds will 

be used on both sides of the U.S.- 

Mexico border for the development of 

activities under the second annual 

Border Binational Health Week (October 

10–16, 2005).

Project Period 

The project period of the award will 

begin on September 1, 2005 and will 

last through August 31, 2006. 

Justification for the Exception to 

Competition 

On March 31, 2005, ORHP announced 

a Border Health Best Practices 

Cooperative Agreement (Announcement 

#HRSA 05–130). ORHP received only 

one application that was from an entity, 

as ORHP understood, would have had 

significant administrative issues to 

overcome in order to fulfill the 

requirements of the announcement. 

Given the response from the initial 

competition, there are not many 

applicants along the border who are 

capable of performing the breadth of 

these activities. ORHP has identified 

USMBHA as the only entity with the 

capacity to fill the void and to work in 

partnership with HRSA to organize 

events in the short time frame before the 

Border Binational Health Week (BBHW) 

celebration with Mexico is scheduled to 

take place. USMBHA is eminently 

qualified to receive a single source 

award. USMBHA was formally created 

in 1943 and is composed of health 

professionals from both Mexico and the 

United States. Annual meetings have 

occurred without interruption since this 

time with involvement from senior 

Federal, State, and local officials from 

both countries. Furthermore, USMBHA 

has worked with the U.S.-Mexico 

Border Health Commission, HRSA and 

other Federal Agencies in the past and 

were involved in last year’s BBHW 

celebration.

(NFIP); Assistance to Private Sector 

Property Insurers 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Each year FEMA is required 

by the Write-Your-Own (‘‘WYO’’) 

program Financial Assistance/Subsidy 

Arrangement (‘‘Arrangement’’) to notify 

the private insurance companies 

(‘‘Companies’’) and make available to 

the Companies the terms for 

subscription or re-subscription to the 

Arrangement. In keeping with that 

requirement, this notice provides the 

terms to the Companies to subscribe or 

re-subscribe to the Arrangement. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Edward L. Connor, FEMA, 500 C Street, 

SW., Washington, DC 20472, 202–646–

3429 (Phone), 202–646–3445 (facsimile), 

or Edward.Connor@dhs.gov (e-mail). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Arrangement, approximately 95 private 

sector property insurers issue flood 

insurance policies and adjust flood 

insurance claims under their own 

names based on the Arrangement with 

the Federal Insurance Administration 

(FIA) (44 CFR part 62, appendix A). The 

WYO insurers receive an expense 

allowance and remit the remaining 

premium to the Federal Government. 

The Federal Government pays WYO 

insurers for flood losses and pays loss 

adjustment expenses based on a fee 

schedule. Litigation costs, including 

court costs, attorney fees, judgments, 

and settlements, are paid by FIA based 

on submitted documentation. The 

Arrangement provides that under 

certain circumstances reimbursement 

for litigation costs will not be made. The 

complete Arrangement is published in 

44 CFR part 62, appendix A. 

Each year FEMA is required to 

publish in the Federal Register and 

make available to the Companies the 

terms for subscription or re-subscription 

to the Financial Assistance/Subsidy 

Arrangement. During the 2004–2005 

Arrangement year FEMA published (69 

FR 45608, Jul. 30, 2004) an interim final 

rule which made changes to the 

Arrangement. No changes have been 

made to the Arrangement since the 

publication of the interim final rule. 

During September 2005, FEMA will 

send a copy of the offer for the 2005–

2006 Arrangement year, together with 

related materials and submission 

instructions, to all private insurance 

companies participating under the 

current 2004–2005 Arrangement. Any 

private insurance company not 

currently participating in the WYO 

Program but wishing to consider 

FEMA’s offer for 2005–2006 may 

request a copy by writing: Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Mitigation Division, Attn: WYO 

Program, 500 C Street, SW.,
