Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 9, 2007 / Notices 26391 

committees or single department 

public sector applicants; 

—Up to $125,000 per 18-month period 

for area, industry, and multidepartment public sector committee 

applicants. 

Additionally, FMCS reserves the right 

under special conditions to award 

supplemental (continuation) grants 

subject to funds availability. If awarded 

the additional amount is added to the 

current grant amount. 

Applicants are reminded that these 

figures represent maximum Federal 

funds only. If total costs to accomplish 

the objectives of the application exceed 

the maximum allowable Federal 

funding level and its required grantee 

match, applicants may supplement 

these funds through voluntary 

contributions from other sources. 

Applicants are also strongly encouraged 

to consult with their local or regional 

FMCS field office to determine what 

kinds of training may be available at no 

cost before budgeting for such training 

in their applications. A list of our field 

leadership team and their phone 

numbers may be obtained from the 

FMCS Web site (http://www.fmcs.gov) 

under ‘‘Who We Are’’. 

F. Cash Match Requirements and Cost 

Allowability 

All applicants must provide at least 

10 percent of the total allowable project 

costs in cash. Matching funds may come 

from state or local government sources 

or private sector contributions, but may 

generally not include other Federal 

funds. Funds generated by grantsupported efforts are considered 

‘‘project income,’’ and may not be used 

for matching purposes. 

It is the policy of this program to 

reject all requests for indirect or 

overhead costs as well as ‘‘in-kind’’

match contributions. In addition, grant 

funds must not be used to supplant 

private or local/state government funds 

currently spent for committee purposes. 

Funding requests from existing 

committees should focus entirely on the 

costs associated with the expansion 

efforts. Also, under no circumstances 

may business or labor officials 

participating on a labor-management 

committee be compensated out of grant 

funds for time spent at committee 

meetings or time spent in committee 

training sessions. Applicants generally 

will not be allowed to claim all or a 

portion of existing full-time staff as an 

expense or match contribution. For a 

more complete discussion of cost 

allowability, applicants are encouraged 

to consult the FY2007 FMCS Financial 

and Administrative Grants Manual, 

which will be included in the 

application kit. 

G. Application Submission and Review 

Process 

The Application for Federal 

Assistance (SF–424) form must be 

signed by both a labor and management 

representative. In lieu of signing the SF–

424 form, representatives may type their 

name, title, and organization on plain 

bond paper with a signature line signed 

and dated, in accordance with block 18 

of the SF–424 form. The individual 

listed as contact person in block 6 on 

the application form will generally be 

the only person with whom FMCS will 

communicate during the application 

review process. Please be sure that 

person is available once the application 

has been submitted. Additionally, it is 

the applicant’s responsibility to notify 

FMCS in writing of any changes (e.g. if 

the address or contact person has 

changed). 

We will accept applications beginning 

May 1, 2007, and continue to do so until 

July 31, 2008, or until all FY2007 grant 

funds are obligated. Awards will be 

made by September 30, 2008. Proposals 

may be accepted at any time between 

April 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008, but 

proposals received late in the cycle have 

a greater risk of not being funded due 

to unavailability of funds. Once your 

application has been received and 

acknowledged by FMCS, no 

applications or supplementary materials 

will be accepted thereafter. Applicants 

are highly advised to contact the FMCS 

Grants Program prior to committing any 

resources to the preparation of a 

proposal. 

An original application containing 

numbered pages, plus three copies, 

should be addressed to the Federal 

Mediation and Conciliation Service, 

Labor-Management Grants Program, 

2100 K Street, NW., Washington, D.C. 

20427. FMCS will not consider 

videotaped submissions or video 

attachments to submissions. FMCS will 

confirm receipt of all applications 

within 10 days thereof. 

All eligible applications will be 

reviewed and scored by a Grant Review 

Board. The Board(s) will recommend 

selected applications for rejection or 

further funding consideration. The 

Director or his/her designee will finalize 

the scoring and selection process. All 

FY2007 grant applicants will be notified 

of results and all grant awards will be 

made by September 30, 2008. 

Applications that fail to adhere to 

eligibility or other major requirements 

will be administratively rejected by the 

Director or his/her designee.
