AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is publishing notice of its intent to rescind and remove various Public Health Service (PHS) health professions, nursing, public health, and allied health training grant regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 42 CFR parts 57 and 58. (The student loan program regulations in part 57 will not be removed.)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Tise, Acting Chief, Planning, Evaluation and Legislation Branch, Office of Research and Planning, Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 8-67, Rockville, MD 20857; telephone number (301) 443-2381.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:. We are announcing our intent to remove by technical amendment (final rule) some of the Agency's health professions, nursing, public health, and allied health training grant program regulations under 42 CFR parts 57 and 58 from the Code of Federal Regulations. The statutory authorities of these regulations have been extensively amended since their issuance. Consequently, the regulations no longer reflect the current law.

This action will be announced in the Department's October 1999 Regulatory Plan and the Semiannual Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, published in the Federal Register.

Dated: September 23, 1999. Claude Earl Fox, Administrator.
