amended. This Program Announcement contains forms and instructions for 
submitting an application.
    For Fiscal Years 1998-2001 the National Youth Sport Program would 
become a non-competing continuation grant. This means that once the

funded under this award beyond the first one year budget period, will 
be entertained in subsequent years on a non-competitive basis, subject 
to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the grantee, and a 
determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of 
the Government. The National Youth Sports Program will be announced 
again in Fiscal Year 2002.

CLOSING DATE: The closing date and time for receipt of applications is 
4:30 p.m., eastern time zone, on May 5, 1997. Applications received 
after 4:30 p.m. will be classified as late. Postmarks and other similar 
documents do not establish receipt of an application. Detailed 
application submission instructions including the addresses where 
applications must be received are found in Part G.1. of this 
announcement.

Discretionary Programs, Office of Community Services, Administration

Discretionary Awards.''

3. Definitions of Terms

    For purposes of this Program Announcement the following definitions 
apply:

--Low-income youth: A youth between the ages of 10 through 16 whose 
family income does not exceed the DHHS Poverty Income Guidelines.
--Eligible Applicant: A national private nonprofit organization, a 
coalition of such organizations, or a private nonprofit organization

Part B--Application Prerequisites

1. Eligible Applicants

    OCS will only consider those applications received from entities 
which are eligible applicants as specified in Part A 3. of this 
announcement. Non-profit organizations must submit proof of their non-
profit status in their applications at the time of submission. Failure 
to do so will result in rejection of their applications. The non-profit 
agency can accomplish this by providing a copy of the applicant's 
listing in the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) most recent list of 
tax-exempt organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code 
or by providing a copy of currently valid IRS tax exemption 
certification, or by providing a copy of the articles of incorporation 
bearing the seal of the State in which the corporation or association 
is domiciled.

2. Number of Grants, Grant Amount, and Matching Requirements

a. Number of Grants
    In Fiscal Year 1997, OCS anticipates that one grant will be made 
under this program. For Fiscal Years 1998-2001, OCS anticipates, 
subject to the availability of funds, that one grant will be made under 
this program.
b. Grant Amounts
    Estimated twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) is available for 
Fiscal Year 1997. For Fiscal Years 1998-2001, the estimated amounts of 
($12,000,000) are subject to final appropriation.
c. Matching Requirements
    The grants require a match of either cash or third party in-kind of 
one dollar for each dollar awarded up to $9,400,000 and a cash match of 
25% of the Federal funds requested in excess of $9,400,000.

3. Project Period and Budget Period

    The project period must not exceed 60 months (5 years), with a 
budget period not to exceed 12 months. A significant amount of the 
program activities must be undertaken in the period covering June, July 
and August of each fiscal year.

4. Administrative Costs/Indirect Costs

    No federal funds from a grant made under this program may be used 
for administrative expenses. To the extent that indirect costs are not 
administrative in nature, such costs may be allowed provided the 
grantee has negotiated an approved Indirect Cost Rate Agreement which 
excludes administrative expenses. However, it should be understood that 
indirect costs are part of, and not in addition to, the amount of funds 
awarded in the subject grant.

5. Program Beneficiaries

    Projects proposed for funding under this announcement must result 
in direct benefits targeted toward 10-16 year olds from low-income 
families.
    Attachment A to this announcement is an excerpt from the most 
recently published Poverty Income guidelines. Annual revisions of these 
Guidelines are normally published in the Federal Register in February 
or early March of each year and are applicable to projects being 
implemented at the time of publication. Grantees will be required to 
apply the most recent Guidelines throughout the project period. No 
other government agency or privately defined poverty guidelines are 
applicable to the determination of low-income eligibility for this OCS 
program.
    The Federal Register may be obtained from public libraries, 
Congressional offices, or by writing the Superintendent of Documents, 
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

6. Multiple Submittals

    An applicant organization should not submit more than one 
application under this Program Announcement.

    Applications which do not meet the criteria above are considered 
late applications. ACF shall notify each late applicant that its 
application will not be considered in the current competition.
    ACF may extend the deadline for all applicants because of acts of 
God such as floods, hurricanes, etc., widespread disruption of the 
mails, or when it is anticipated that many of the applications will 
come from rural or remote areas. However, if ACF does not extend the 
deadline for all applicants, it may not waive or extend the deadline 
for any applicants.
3. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, the 
Department is required to submit to OMB for review and approval any 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements in regulations, including 
program announcements. This program announcement does not contain 
information collection requirements beyond those approved for ACF grant 
applications under OMB Control Number 0970-0139.
4. Project Development (Intergovernmental Review)
    Under the Order, States may design their own processes for 
reviewing and commenting on proposed Federal assistance under covered

E.O. 12372. Otherwise, applicants should contact their SPOCs as soon as 
possible to alert them of the prospective applications and receive any 
necessary instructions. Applicants must submit any required material to 
the SPOCs as soon as possible so that the program office can obtain and 
review SPOC comments as part of the award process. It is imperative 
that the applicant submit all required materials, if any, to the SPOC 
and indicate the date of this submittal (or the date of contact if no 
submittal is required) on the Standard Form 424, item 16a.

Section B--Information Not Available

1. Availability of Forms
    Copies of the Federal Register containing this Announcement are 
available at most local libraries and Congressional District Offices 
for reproduction. If copies are not available at these sources they may 
be obtained by writing or telephoning the office listed in the section 
entitled Contact at the beginning of this Announcement.
2. Application Submission
    For Fiscal Years 1998-2001 the grantee will be notified of the 
requirements for submission of the continuation application by March of 
the current fiscal year.
3. Application Consideration
    Applications which meet the screening requirements in Section 5 
below will be reviewed competitively. Such applications will be 
referred to reviewers for a numerical score and explanatory comments 
based solely on responsiveness to program guidelines and evaluation 
criteria published in this announcement. Applications will be reviewed 
by persons outside of the OCS unit which would be directly responsible 
for programmatic management of the grant. The results of these reviews 
will assist the Director and OCS program staff in considering competing 
applications. Reviewers' scores will weigh heavily in funding decisions 
but will not be the only factors considered. Applications will 
generally be considered in order of the average scores assigned by 
reviewers. However, highly ranked applications are not guaranteed 
funding since the Director may also consider other factors deemed 
relevant including, but not limited to, the timely and proper 
completion of projects funded with OCS funds granted in the last five 
(5) years; comments of reviewers and government officials; staff 
evaluation and input; geographic distribution; previous program 
performance of applicants; compliance with grant terms under previous 
DHHS grants; audit reports; investigative reports; and applicant's 
progress in resolving any final audit disallowances on OCS or other 
Federal agency grants. OCS reserves the right to discuss applications 
with other Federal or non-Federal funding sources to ascertain the 
applicant's performance record.
4. Criteria for Reviewing Applications
    All applications that meet the published deadline for submission 
will be screened to determine completeness and conformity to the 
requirements of this Announcement. Only those applications meeting the 
following requirements will be reviewed and evaluated competitively. 
Others will be returned to the applicants with a notation that they 
were unacceptable.
a. Initial Screening
    (1) The application must contain a completed Standard Form SF-424 
signed by an official of the entity applying for the grant who has 
authority to obligate the organization legally;
    (2) a budget (SF-424A); and
    (3) Assurances (SF-424B) signed by the appropriate official.
b. Pre-rating Review
    Applications which pass the initial screening will be forwarded to 
reviewers for analytical comment and scoring based on the criteria 
detailed in the Section below and the specific requirements contained 
in Part C of this Announcement. Prior to the programmatic review, these 
reviewers and/or OCS staff will verify that the applications comply 
with this Program Announcement in the following areas:
    (1) Eligibility: Applicant meets the eligibility requirements found 
in Part A 2.
    (2) Target Populations: The application clearly targets the 
specific outcomes and benefits of the project to low-income 
participants as defined in the DHHS Poverty Income Guidelines 
(Attachment A).
    (3) Grant Amount: The amount of funds requested does not exceed the 
estimated amount of $12 million.
    (4) Program Focus: The application addresses the geographic scope 
and project requirements described in Part C of this Announcement.
c. Evaluation Criteria
    Applications which pass the initial screening and prerating review 
will be assessed and scored by reviewers. Each reviewer will give a 
numerical score for each application reviewed. These numerical scores 
will be supported by explanatory statements on a formal rating form 
describing major strengths and major weaknesses under each applicable 
criterion published in this Announcement.

Part H--Post Award Information and Reporting Requirements

    Following approval of the applications selected for funding, notice 
of project approval and authority to draw down project funds will be 
made in writing. The official award document is the Financial 
Assistance Award which provides the amount of Federal funds for use in

and the terms and conditions of the award.
    In addition to the General Conditions and Special Conditions (where 
the latter are warranted) which will be applicable to grant, the 
grantee will be subject to the provisions of 45 CFR Part 74 along with 
OMB Circulars A-122, A-133, and, for institutions of higher education, 
A-21.
    Grantee will be required to submit progress and financial reports 
(SF-269).
    Grantee is subject to the audit requirements in 45 CFR part 74.

Instructions for the SF-424A

General Instructions

    This form is designed so that application can be made for funds 
from one or more grant programs. In preparing the budget, adhere to 
any existing Federal grantor agency guidelines which prescribe how 
and whether budgeted amounts should be separately shown for 
different functions or activities within the program. For some 
programs, grantor agencies may require budgets to be separately 
shown by function or activity. For other programs, grantor agencies 
may require a breakdown by function or activity. Sections A, B, C, 
and D should include budget estimates for the whole project except 
when applying for assistance which requires Federal authorization in 
annual or other funding period increments. In the latter case, 
Sections A, B, C, and D should provide the budget for the first 
budget period (usually a year) and Section E should present the need 
for Federal assistance in the subsequent budget periods. All 
applications should contain a breakdown by the object class 
categories shown in Lines a-k of Section B.

Section A. Budget Summary

    Lines 1-4, Columns (a) and (b).
    For applications pertaining to a single Federal grant program 
(Federal Domestic Assistance Catalog number) and not requiring a 
functional or activity breakdown, enter on Line 1 under Column (a) 
the catalog program title and the catalog number in Column (b).
    For applications pertaining to a single program requiring budget 
amounts by multiple functions or activities, enter the name of each 
activity or function on each line in Column (a), and enter the 
catalog number in Column (b). For applications pertaining to 
multiple programs where none of the programs require a breakdown by 
function or activity, enter the catalog program title on each line 
in Column (a) and the respective catalog number on each line in 
Column (b).
    For applications pertaining to multiple programs where one or 
more programs require a breakdown by function or activity, prepare a 
separate sheet for each program requiring the breakdown. Additional 
sheets should be used when one form does not provide adequate space 
for all breakdown of data required. However, when more than one 
sheet is used, the first page should provide the summary totals by 
programs.

Lines 1-4, Columns (c) through (g.)

    For new applications, leave Columns (c) and (d) blank. For each 
line entry in Columns (a) and (b), enter in Columns (e), (f), and 
(g) the appropriate amounts of funds needed to support the project 
for the first funding period (usually a year).
    For continuing grant program applications, submit these forms 
before the end of each funding period as required by the grantor 
agency. Enter in Columns (c) and (d) the estimated amounts of funds 
which will remain unobligated at the end of the grant funding period 
only if the Federal grantor agency instructions provide for this. 
Otherwise, leave these columns blank. Enter in columns (e) and (f) 
the amounts of funds needed for the upcoming period. The amount(s) 
in Column (g) should be the sum of amounts in Columns (e) and (f).
    For supplemental grants and changes to existing grants, do not 
use Columns (c) and (d). Enter in Column (e) the amount of the 
increase or decrease of Federal funds and enter in Column (f) the 
amount of the increase or decrease of non-Federal funds. In Column 
(g) enter the new total budgeted amount (Federal and non-Federal) 
which includes the total previous authorized budgeted amounts plus 
or minus, as appropriate, the amounts shown in Columns (e) and (f). 
The amount(s) in Column (g) should not equal to sum of amounts in 
Columns (e) and (f).
    Line 5--Show the totals for all columns used.

Section B Budget Categories

    In the column headings (1) through (4), enter the titles of the 
same programs, functions, and activities shown on Lines 1-4, Column 
(a), Section A. When additional sheets are prepared for Section A, 
provide similar column headings on each sheet. For each program, 
function or activity, fill in the total requirements for funds (both 
Federal and non-Federal) by object class categories.
    Lines 6a-i--Show the totals of Lines 6a to 6h in each column.
    Line 6j--Show the amount of indirect cost.
    Line 6k--Enter the total of amounts on Lines 6i and 6j. For all 
applications for new grants and continuation grants the total amount 
in column (5), Link 6k, should be the same as the total amount shown 
in Section A, Column (g), Line 5. For supplemental grants and 
changes to grants, the total amount of the increase or decrease as 
shown in Columns (1)-(4), Line 6k should be the same as the sum of 
the amounts in Section A, Columns (e) and (f) on Line 5.
    Line 7--Enter the estimated amount of income, if any, expected 
to be generated from this project. Do not add or subtract this 
amount from the total project amount. Show under the program 
narrative statement the nature and source of income. The estimated 
amount of program income may be considered by the federal grantor 
agency in determining the total amount of the grant.

Section C. Non-Federal-Resources

    Lines 8-11--Enter amounts of non-Federal resources that will be 
used on the grant. If in-kind contributions are included, provide a 
brief explanation on a separate sheet.
    Column (a)--Enter the program titles identical to Column (a), 
Section A. A breakdown by function or activity is not necessary.
    Column (b)--Enter the contribution to be made by the applicant.
    Column (c)--Enter the amount of the State's cash and in-kind 
contribution if the applicant is not a State or State agency.

Program Narrative

    This program narrative section was designed for use by many and 
varied programs. Consequently, it is not possible to provide 
specific guidance for developing a program narrative statement that 
would be appropriate in all cases. Applicants must refer the 
relevant program announcement for information on specific program 
requirements and any additional guidelines for preparing the program 
narrative statement. The following are general guidelines for 
preparing a program narrative statement.
    The program narrative provides a major means by which the 
application is evaluated and ranked to compete with other 
applications for available assistance. It should be concise and 
complete and should address the activity for which Federal funds are 
requested. Supporting documents should be included where they can 
present information clearly and succinctly. Applicants are 
encouraged to provide information on their organizational structure, 
staff, related experience, and other information considered to be 
relevant. Awarding offices use this and other information to 
determine whether the applicant has the capability and resources 
necessary to carry out the proposed project. It is important, 
therefore, that this information be included in the application. 
However, in the narrative the applicant must distinguish between 
resources directly related to the proposed project from those which 
will not be used in support of the specific project for which funds 
are requested.
    Cross-referencing should be used rather than repetition. ACF is 
particularly interested in specific factual information and 
statements of measurable goals in quantitative terms. Narratives are 
evaluated on the basis of substance, not length. Extensive exhibits 
are not required. (Supporting information concerning activities 
which will not be directly funded by the grant or information which 
does not directly pertain to an integral part of the grant funded 
activity should be placed in an appendix.) Pages should be numbered 
for easy reference.
    Prepare the program narrative statement in accordance with the 
following instructions:
    <bullet> Applicants submitting new applications or competing 
continuation applications should respond to Items A and D.
    <bullet> Applicants submitting noncompeting continuation 
applications should respond to Item B.
    <bullet> Applicants requesting supplemental assistance should 
respond to Item C.

[[Page 9785]]

A. Project Description--Components

1. Project Summary/Abstract

    A summary of the project description (usually a page or less) 
with reference to the funding request should be placed directly 
behind the table of contents or SF-424.

2. Objectives and Need for Assistance

    Applicants must clearly identify the physical, economic, social, 
financial, institutional, or other problem(s) requiring a solution. 
The need for assistance must be demonstrated and the principal and 
subordinate objectives of the project must be clearly stated; 
supporting documentation such as letters of support and testimonials 
from concerned interests other than the applicant may be included. 
Any relevant data based on planning studies should be included or 
referenced in the endnotes/footnotes. Incorporate demographic data 
and participant/beneficiary information, as needed. In developing 
the narrative, the applicant may volunteer or be requested to 
provide information on the total range of projects currently 
conducted and supported (or to be initiated), some of which may be 
outside the scope of the program announcement.

3. Results or Benefits Expected

    Identify results and benefits to be derived. For example, when 
applying for a grant to establish a neighborhood child care center, 
describe who will occupy the facility, who will use the facility, 
how the facility will be used, and how the facility will benefit the 
community which it will serve.

4. Approach

    Outline a plan of action which describes the scope and detail of 
how the proposed work will be accomplished. Account for all 
functions or activities identified in the application. Cite factors 
which might accelerate or decelerate the work and state your reason 
for taking this approach rather than others. Describe any unusual 
features of the project such as design or technological innovations, 
reductions in cost or time, or extraordinary social and community 
involvement.
    Provide quantitative monthly or quarterly projections of the 
accomplishments to be achieved for each function or activity in such 
terms as the number of people to be served and the number of 
microloans made. When accomplishments cannot be quantified by 
activity or function, list them in chronological order to show the 
schedule of accomplishments and their target dates.
    Identify the kinds of data to be collected, maintained, and/or 
disseminated. (Note that clearance from the U.S. Office of 
Management and Budget might be needed prior to an information 
collection.) List organizations, cooperating entities, consultants, 
or other key individuals who will work on the project along with a 
short description of the nature of their effort or contribution.

5. Evaluation

    Provide a narrative addressing how you will evaluate 1) the 
results of your project and 2) the conduct of your program. In 
addressing the evaluation of results, state how you will determine 
the extent to which the program has achieved its stated objectives 
and the extent to which the accomplishment of objectives can be 
attributed to the program. Discuss the criteria to be used to 
evaluate results; explain the methodology that will be used to 
determine if the needs identified and discussed are being met and if 
the project results and benefits are being achieved. With respect to 
the conduct of your program, define the procedures you will employ 
to determine whether the program is being conducted in a manner 
consistent with the work plan you presented and discuss the impact 
of the program's various activities upon the program's 
effectiveness.

6. Geographic Location

    Give the precise location of the project and boundaries of the 
area to be served by the proposed project. Maps or other graphic 
aids may be attached.

7. Additional Information (Include if applicable)

    Additional information may be provided in the body of the 
program narrative or in the appendix. Refer to the program 
announcement and ``General Information and Instructions'' for 
guidance on placement of application materials.
    Staff and Position Data--Provide a biographical sketch for key 
personnel appointed and a job description for each vacant key 
position. Some programs require both for all positions. Refer to the 
program announcement for guidance on presenting this information. 
Generally, a biographical sketch is required for original staff and 
new members as appointed.
    Plan for Project Continuance Beyond Grant Support--A plan for 
securing resources and continuing project activities after Federal 
assistance has ceased.
    Business Plan--When federal grant funds will be used to make an 
equity investment, provide a business plan. Refer to the program 
announcement for guidance on presenting this information.
    Organization Profiles--Information on applicant organizations 
and their cooperating partners such as organization charts, 
financial statements, audit reports or statements from CPA/Licensed 
Public Accountant, Employer Identification Numbers, names of bond 
carriers, contact persons and telephone numbers, child care licenses 
and other documentation of professional accreditation, information 
on compliance with federal/state/local government standards, 
documentation of experience in program area, and other pertinent 
information. Any non-profit organization submitting an application 
must submit proof of its non-profit status in its application at the 
time of submission. The non-profit agency can accomplish this by 
providing a copy of the applicant's listing in the Internal Revenue 
Service's (IRS) most recent list of tax-exempt organizations 
described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code or by providing a 
copy of the currently valid IRS tax exemption certificate, or by 
providing a copy of the articles of incorporation bearing the seal 
of the State in which the corporation or association is domiciled.
    Dessemination Plan--A plan for distributing reports and other 
project outputs to colleagues and the public. Applicants must 
provide a description of the kind, volume and timing of 
distribution.
    Third-Party Agreements--Written agreements between grantees and 
subgrantees or subcontractors or other cooperating entities. These 
agreements may detail scope of work, work schedules, remuneration, 
and other terms and conditions that structure or define the 
relationship.
    Waiver Request--A statement of program requirements for which 
waivers will be needed to permit the proposed project to be 
conducted.
    Letters of Support--Statements from community, public and 
commercial leaders which support the project proposed for funding.

B. Noncompeting Continuation Applications

    A program narrative usually will not be required for 
noncompeting continuation applications for nonconstruction programs. 
Noncompeting continuation applications shall be abbreviated unless 
the ACF Program Office administering this program has issued a 
notice to the grantee that a full application will be required.
    An abbreviated application consists of:
    1. The Standard Form 424 series (SF 424, SF 424A, SF-424B)
    2. The estimated or actual unobligated balance remaining from 
the previous budget period should be identified on an accurate SF-
269 as well as in Section A, Columns (c) and (d) of the SF-424A.
    3. The grant budget, broken down into the object class 
categories on the 424A, and if category ``other'' is used, the 
specific items supported must be identified.
    4. Required certifications.
    A full application consists of all elements required for an 
abbreviated application plus:
    1. Program narrative information explaining significant changes 
to the original program narrative statement, a description of 
accomplishments from the prior budget period, a projection of 
accomplishments throughout the entire remaining project period, and 
any other supplemental information that ACF informs the grantee is 
necessary.
    2. A full budget proposal for the budget period under 
consideration with a full cost analysis of all budget categories.
    3. A corrective action plan, if requested by ACF, to address 
organizational performance weaknesses.

C. Supplemental Requests

    For supplemental assistance requests, explain the reason for the 
request and justify the need for additional funding. Provide a 
budget and budget justification only for those items for which 
additional funds are requested. (See Item D for guidelines on 
preparing a budget and budget justification.)

D. Budget and Budget Justification

    Provide line item detail and detailed calculations for each 
budget object class identified on the Budget Information form. 
Detailed calculations must include estimation methods, quantities, 
unit costs, and other similar quantitative detail

[[Page 9786]]

sufficient for the calculation to be duplicated. The detailed budget 
must also include a breakout by the funding sources identified in 
Block 15 of the SF-424.
    Provide a narrative budget justification which describes how the 
categorical costs are derived. Discuss the necessity, 
reasonableness, and allocability of the proposed costs
    The following guidelines are for preparing the budget and budget 
justification. Both federal and non-federal resources should be 
detailed and justified in the budget and narrative justification. 
For purposes of preparing the program narrative, ``federal 
resources'' refers only to the ACF grant for which you are applying. 
Non-Federal resources are all other federal and non-federal 
resources. It is suggested that for the budget, applicants use a 
column format: Column 1, object class categories; Column 2, federal 
budget amounts; Column 3, non-federal budget amounts, and Column 4, 
total amounts. The budget justification should be a narrative.
    Personnel. Costs of employee salaries and wages.
    Justification: Identify the project director or principal 
investigator, if known. For each staff person, show name/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 costs of consultants 
or personnel costs of delegate agencies or of specific project(s) or 
businesses to be financed by the applicant.
    Fringe Benefits. Costs of employee fringe benefits unless 
treated as part of an approved indirect cost rate.
    Justification: Provide a breakdown of amounts and percentages 
that comprise fringe benefit costs, such as health insurance, FICA, 
retirement insurance, taxes, etc.
    Travel. 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 as specified in this 
program announcement should be detailed in the budget.
    Equipment. Costs of all non-expendable, tangible personal 
property to be acquired by the project where each article has a 
useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost which 
equals the lesser of (a) the capitalization level established by the 
applicant organization for financial statement purposes, or (b) 
$5000.
    Justification: For each type of equipment requested, provide a 
description of the equipment, cost per unit, number of units, total 
cost, and a plan for use on the project, as well as use or disposal 
of the equipment after the project ends.
    Supplies. Costs of all tangible personal property (supplies) 
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. 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 a sole 
source procurement 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. Also provide back-up documentation where 
necessary to support selection process.

    Note: Whenever the applicant/grantee intends to delegate part of 
the program to another agency, the applicant/grantee must provide a 
detailed budget and budget narrative for each delegate agency by 
agency title, along with the required supporting information 
referenced in these instructions.

    Applicants must identify and justify any anticipated procurement 
that is expected to exceed the simplified purchase threshold 
(currently set at $100,000) and to be awarded without competition. 
Recipients are 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. under the 
conditions identified at 45 CFR Part 74.44(e).
    Construction. Costs of construction by applicant or contractor.
    Justication: Provide detailed budget and narrative in accordance 
with instructions for other object class categories. Identity which 
construction activity/costs will be contractual and which will 
assumed by the applicant.
    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), fees and 
travel paid directly to individual consultants, space and equipment 
rentals, printing and publication, computer use, training costs, 
including tuition and stipends, training service costs including 
wage payments to individuals and supportive service payments, and 
staff development costs.
    Indirect Charges. 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 or 
another cognizant Federal agency.
    Justification: With the exception of most local government 
agencies, an applicant which will charge indirect costs to the grant 
must enclose a copy of the current rate agreement if the agreement 
was negotiated with a cognizant Federal agency other than the 
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). If the rate 
agreement was negotiated with the Department of Health and Human 
Services, the applicant should state this in the budget 
justification. 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 
pertinent DHHS Guide for Establishing Indirect Cost Rates, and 
submit it to the appropriate DHHS Regional Office. 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 costs pool should 
not be also charged as direct costs to the grant. Also, if the 
applicant is requesting a rate which is less than what is allowed 
under this program announcement, the authorized representative of 
your organization needs to submit a signed acknowledgement that the 
applicant is accepting a lower rate than allowed.
    Program Income. The estimated amount of income, if any, expected 
to be generated from this project. Separately show expected program 
income generated from program support and income generated from 
other mobilized funds. Do not add or subtract this amount from the 
budget total. Show the nature and source of income in the program 
narrative statement.
    Justification: Describe the nature, source and anticipated use 
of program income in the budget or reference pages in the program 
narrative statement which contain this information.
    Non-Federal Resources. Amounts of non-Federal resources that 
will be used to support the project as identified in Block 15 of the 
SF-424.
    Justificaiton: The firm commitment of these resources must be 
documented and submitted with the application in order to be given 
credit in the review process.
    Total Direct Charges, Total Indirect Charges, Total Project 
Costs. (self explanatory)

Matters--Primary Covered Transactions

Instructions for Certification

    1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective 
primary participant is providing the certification set out below.
    2. The inability of a person to provide the certification

participation in this covered transaction. The prospective 
participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the 
certification set out below. The certification or explanation will 
be considered in connection with the department or agency's 
determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, 
failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a 
certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from 
participation in this transaction.
    3. The certification in this clause is a material representation 
of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency 
determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined 
that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an 
erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to 
the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this 
transaction for cause or default.
    4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate 
written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is 
submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns

excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the 
certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and 
frequency by which is determines the eligibility of its principals. 
Each participant may, but is not required to, check the List of 
Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement 
Programs.
    9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to 
require establishment of a system of records in order to render in 
good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge 
and information of a participant is not required to exceed that 
which is normally processed by a prudent person in the ordinary 
course of business dealings.
