## Abstract

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is adopting without change the interim final rule amending the regulations governing service fellowships which was published in the Federal Register on February 27, 1998 (63 FR 9949). These amendments revised the authority citation, extended the time limitation on initial appointments from 2 years to 5 years, permitted extensions of appointments for up to 5 years rather than year-to-year, and deleted obsolete references to the Surgeon General.
