Read in the Federal Register

What it does

The changes cover the Health Center Program, which funds community health centers under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. Organizations that file scope-of-project changes, such as adding, deleting or replacing service sites or services, will see updated forms and checklists, and HRSA adds a new checklist for replacing a service site, a Quality Improvement Fund (QIF) final report, and a Loan Guarantee Progress Report. The Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act continuation forms appear in the burden table without a listed modification.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Directly tribal. The document is about tribes, tribal programs or Native organizations specifically.

What to do next

  1. Submit any comments on the proposed form changes at www.reginfo.gov by 2026-11-19, searching for OMB No. 0915-0285.
  2. Identify which current or scope-change filings use Forms 5A and 5B or the scope checklists, and plan staff review of the revised versions once OMB approves them.
