HRSA proposes changes to Forms 5A and 5B and scope checklists
Issue
HRSA proposed on July 30, 2026 to revise eight Health Center Program forms, including Form 5A for services, Form 5B for sites and all six change-in-scope checklists. Comments are due September 28, 2026, and HRSA would add three new forms, including a checklist for replacing a service site.
Health centers and look-alikes can comment on Federal Register document 2026-15419.
Key points
- Forms 5A and 5B are the scope-of-project documents for every health center, and this rewrites their labels/categories plus the entire change-in-scope workflow. Comments close September 28, 2026.
- The notice names section 330 award recipients and look-alikes as the likely respondents.
- The notice covers program monitoring and scope documentation, and it says nothing about payment, PPS, malpractice coverage or 340B.
