**AGENCY:**
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.
**ACTION:**
Notice of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C Early Intervention Services One-Time Noncompetitive Award to Ensure Continued HIV Primary Medical Care.
**SUMMARY:**
To prevent a lapse in comprehensive primary care services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, HRSA will provide a one-time noncompetitive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C funds award to the Bartz-Altadonna Community Health Center (BACHC), Lancaster, California.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The amount of the award to ensure ongoing HIV medical services is $402,187.
**Authority:**
Section 2651 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 42 U.S.C. 300ff-51.
*CFDA Number:* 93.918.
*Project period:* The period of support for this award is 15 months, explained below in further detail.
*Justification for the Exception to Competition:* The Catalyst Foundation, Lancaster, California (Grant Number: H76HA00784) announced the relinquishment of their Part C grant on February 14, 2013. To prevent a lapse in HIV medical care, grant funds of $402,187 are to be awarded to BACHC to provide interim HIV medical care. BACHC is a Federally Qualified Health Center under section 330 of the PHS Act (H80CS22686), and the sub-grantee to Catalyst that is already providing the clinical care for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C clients. The Catalyst Foundation has identified BACHC as a successor for the Part C grant. The $402,187 represents a proportional share of the last award to the Catalyst Foundation to cover 15 months of HIV primary medical care services until the service area is competed by July 1, 2014.
