26232 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 88 / Friday, May 5, 2000 / Notices

General

The following guidelines are for preparing

the budget and budget justification. Both

Federal and non-Federal resources shall be

detailed and justified in the budget and

narrative justification. For purposes of

preparing the budget and budget justification,

‘‘Federal resources’’ refers only to the ACF

grant for which you are applying. NonFederal resources are all other Federal and

non-Federal resources. It is suggested that

budget amounts and computations be

presented in a columnar format: first column,

object class categories; second column,

Federal budget; next column(s), non-Federal

budget(s), and last column, total budget. The

budget justification should be a narrative.

Personnel

Description: Costs of employee salaries and

wages.

Justification: Identify the project director or

principal investigator, if known. For each

staff person, provide the title, time

commitment to the project (in months), time

commitment to the project (as a percentage

or full-time equivalent), annual salary, grant

salary, wage rates, etc. Do not include the

costs of consultants or personnel costs of

delegate agencies or of specific project(s) or

businesses to be financed by the applicant.

Fringe Benefits

Description: Costs of employee fringe

benefits unless treated as part of an approved

indirect cost rate.

Justification: Provide a breakdown of the

amounts and percentages that comprise

fringe benefit costs such as health insurance,

FICA, retirement insurance, taxes, etc.

Travel

Description: Costs of project-related travel

by employees of the applicant organization

(does not include costs of consultant travel).

Justification: For each trip, show the total

number of traveler(s), travel destination,

duration of trip, per diem, mileage

allowances, if privately owned vehicles will

be used, and other transportation costs and

subsistence allowances. Travel costs for key

staff to attend ACF-sponsored workshops

should be detailed in the budget.

Equipment

Description: Costs of tangible, nonexpendable, personal property, having a

useful life of more than one year and an

acquisition cost of $5,000 or more per unit.

However, an applicant may use its own

definition of equipment provided that such

equipment would at least include all

equipment defined above.

Justification: For each type of equipment

requested, provide a description of the

equipment, the cost per unit, the number of

units, the total cost, and a plan for use on the

project, as well as use or disposal of the

equipment after the project ends. An

applicant organization that uses its own

definition for equipment should provide a

copy of its policy or section of its policy

which includes the equipment definition.

Supplies

Description: Costs of all tangible personal

property other than that included under the

Equipment category.

Justification: Specify general categories of

supplies and their costs. Show computations

and provide other information which

supports the amount requested.

Contractual

Description: Costs of all contracts for

services and goods except for those which

belong under other categories such as

equipment, supplies, construction, etc.

Third-party evaluation contracts (if

applicable) and contracts with secondary

recipient organizations, including delegate

agencies and specific project(s) or businesses

to be financed by the applicant, should be

included under this category.

Justification: All procurement transactions

shall be conducted in a manner to provide,

to the maximum extent practical, open and

free competition. If procurement

competitions were held or if procurement

without competition is being proposed,

attach a list of proposed contractors,

indicating the names of the organizations, the

purposes of the contracts, the estimated

dollar amounts, and the award selection

process. Justify any anticipated procurement

action that is expected to be awarded without

competition and exceed the simplified

acquisition threshold fixed at 41 USC 403(11)

(currently set at Recipients might be required

to make available to ACF pre-award review

and procurement documents, such as request

for proposals or invitations for bids,

independent cost estimates, etc.

Note: Whenever the applicant intends to

delegate part of the project to another agency,

the applicant must provide a detailed budget

and budget narrative for each delegate

agency, by agency title, along with the

required supporting information referred to

in these instructions.

Other

Enter the total of all other costs. Such

costs, where applicable and appropriate, may

include but are not limited to insurance,

food, medical and dental costs

(noncontractual), professional services costs,

space and equipment rentals, printing and

publication, computer use, training costs,

such as tuition and stipends, staff

development costs, and administrative costs.

Justification: Provide computations, a

narrative description and a justification for

each cost under this category.

Indirect Charges

Description: Total amount of indirect costs.

This category should be used only when the

applicant currently has an indirect cost rate

approved by the Department of Health and

Human Services (HHS) or another cognizant

Federal agency.

Justification: An applicant that will charge

indirect costs to the grant must enclose a

copy of the current rate agreement. If the

applicant organization is in the process of

initially developing or renegotiating a rate, it

should immediately upon notification that an

award will be made, develop a tentative

indirect cost rate proposal based on its most

recently completed fiscal year in accordance

with the principles set forth in the cognizant

agency’s guidelines for establishing indirect

cost rates, and submit it to the cognizant

agency. Applicants awaiting approval of their

indirect cost proposals may also request

indirect costs. It should be noted that when

an indirect cost rate is requested, those costs

included in the indirect cost pool should not

also be charged as direct costs to the grant.

Also, if the applicant is requesting a rate

which is less than what is allowed under the

program, the authorized representative of the

applicant organization must submit a signed

acknowledgement that the applicant is

accepting a lower rate than allowed.

Program Income

Description: The estimated amount of

income, if any, expected to be generated from

this project.

Justification: Describe the nature, source

and anticipated use of program income in the

budget or refer to the pages in the application

which contain this information.

Non-Federal Resources

Description: Amounts of non-Federal

resources that will be used to support the

project as identified in Block 15 of the SF–

424.

Justification: The firm commitment of

these resources must be documented and

submitted with the application in order to be

given credit in the review process. A detailed

budget must be prepared for each funding

source.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 88 / Friday, May 5, 2000 / Notices 26233

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and

section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney

Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing

this Notice to identify Federal buildings

and other real property that HUD has

reviewed for suitability for use to assist

the homeless. The properties were

reviewed using information provided to

HUD by Federal landholding agencies

regarding unutilized and underutilized

buildings and real property controlled

by such agencies or by GSA regarding

its inventory of excess or surplus

Federal property. This Notice is also

published in order to comply with the

December 12, 1988 Court Order in

National Coalition for the Homeless v.

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–

OG (D.D.C.).

Properties reviewed are listed in this

Notice according to the following

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and

unsuitable. The properties listed in the

three suitable categories have been

reviewed by the landholding agencies,

and each agency has transmitted to

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the

property available for use to assist the

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the

property excess to the agency’s needs, or

(3) a statement of the reasons that the

property cannot be declared excess or

made available for use as facilities to

assist the homeless.

Properties listed as suitable/available

will be available exclusively for

homeless use for a period of 60 days

from the date of this Notice. Homeless

assistance providers interested in any

such property should send a written

expression of interest to HHS, addressed

to Brian Rooney, Division of Property

Management, Program Support Center,

HHS, room 5B–41, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–2265.

(This is not a toll-free number.) HHS

will mail to the interested provider an

application packet, which will include

instructions for completing the

application. In order to maximize the

opportunity to utilize a suitable

property, providers should submit their

written expressions of interest as soon

as possible. For complete details

concerning the processing of

applications, the reader is encouraged to

refer to the interim rule governing this

program, 24 CFR part 581.

For properties listed as suitable/to be

excess, that property may, if

subsequently accepted as excess by

GSA, be made available for use by the

homeless in accordance with applicable

law, subject to screening for other

Federal use. At the appropriate time,

HUD will publish the property in a

Notice showing it as either suitable/

available or suitable/unavailable.

For properties listed as suitable/

unavailable, the landholding agency has

decided that the property cannot be

declared excess or made available for

use to assist the homeless, and the

property will not be available.

Properties listed as unsuitable will

not be made available for any other

purpose for 20 days from the date of this

Notice. Homeless assistance providers

interested in a review by HUD of the

determination of unsuitability should

call the toll free information line at 1–

800–927–7588 for detailed instructions

or write a letter to Clifford Taffet at the

address listed at the beginning of this

Notice. Included in the request for

review should be the property address

(including zip code), the date of the

publication in the Federal Register, the

landholding agency, and the property

number.
