AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive award of Part C funds for Saint 
Michael's Medical Center.

SUMMARY: HRSA will be providing Part C Funds for Saint Michael's 
Medical Center as a noncompetitive extension in order to ensure 
continuity of critical HIV medical and clinical care and treatment 
services to clients in Metropolitan Newark, Essex, and Union Counties 
in New Jersey.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Grantee of record: Saint Michael's Medical Center.
    Intended recipient of the award: Saint Michael's Medical Center, 
Newark, New Jersey.
    Amount of the award: $537,607 to ensure ongoing clinical services 
to the target population.

    Authority:  Section 2651 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C. 300ff-51.

    Project Period: April 1, 2005, to March 31, 2011. The period of 
support for this award is from April 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011.
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: Critical funding 
for HIV medical care and treatment services to clients in Metropolitan 
Newark, Essex and Union Counties in New Jersey will be continued 
through a noncompetitive extension to Saint Michael's Medical Center, 
an existing grantee of record in Newark, New Jersey. This is a 
temporary extension with Part C Funds, as the previous grant recipient 
did not successfully submit a fiscal year (FY) 2010 competitive 
continuation application through Grants.gov by the published deadline. 
There were no other eligible applications received for this service 
area in the recent Part C competing continuation application review 
process. Saint Michael's Medical Center is the best qualified health 
service provider to ensure the continuity of care, and provide critical 
services to the service population until the service area is re-
competed in 2011.
    This supplement will cover the time period from April 1, 2010, 
through June 30, 2011. This service area will be included in the 
upcoming competition for the Part C HIV Early Intervention
