FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

The National Board Fiscal Year 1997

Plan for Carrying Out the Emergency

Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice sets out the plan

by which the Emergency Food and

Shelter Program National Board

(National Board) is conducting a

program during FY 1997 to distribute

$100,000,000 to private voluntary

organizations and local governments for

delivering emergency food and shelter

to needy individuals. The distribution

formula for selecting organizations and

localities, and the award amount for

each, follow the Plan text.

DATES: The award to the National Board

was made October 3, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Carol Coleman, Preparedness, Training

and Exercise Directorate, Federal

Emergency Management Agency, (202)

646–3107, or Kay C. Goss, Chair, EFSP

National Board, (202) 646–3487.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of

the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 11301 et seq.,

authorizes use of funds appropriated by

the Congress to supplement and expand

ongoing efforts to provide shelter, food,

and supportive services to homeless,

needy individuals.

As in past phases, grant awards from

this program are provided to address

emergency needs. This program is not

intended to address or correct structural

poverty or long-standing problems.

Rather, this appropriation is intended

for the purchase of food and shelter to

supplement and expand current

available resources and not to substitute

or reimburse ongoing programs and

services.

This funding should be used to target

special emergency needs. And when we

discuss emergency needs we are

referring to economic, not disasterrelated, emergencies. The funding

should supplement feeding and

sheltering efforts in ways that make a

difference. What that means is: EFSP is

not intended to make up for budget

shortfalls or to be considered just a line

in an annual budget; it is not intended

that the funds must go to the same

agencies for the exact same purposes

every year; and, the funding is open to

all organizations helping hungry and

homeless people and it is not intended

that the funds should go only to Local

Board member agencies or local

government agencies.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices 15483

Having stated what it is not, what

does the National Board want this

program to be? As we read the law,

EFSP should: create inclusive local

coalitions that meet regularly to

determine the best use of funds and to

monitor their use in their respective

communities; treat every program year

as a fresh opportunity to reassess what

particular community needs (e.g., onsite feeding or utility assistance, mass

shelter or homelessness prevention, etc.)

should be addressed; encourage

agencies to work together to emphasize

their respective strengths, work out

common problems, and prevent

duplication of effort; and, examine

whether the program is helping to meet

the needs of special populations such as

minorities, Native Americans, veterans,

families with children, the elderly, and

the handicapped.

It is our intention to re-emphasize that

this program has a commitment to

emergency services. We continue to

view it as an opportunity for building a

cohesive emergency structure which

can, for example, coordinate the

assistance provided, across agencies, to

families and individuals applying for

rental, mortgage, or utility assistance;

enhance a food banking network that is

economical in its cost and broad in its

coverage; reinforce creative cooperation

among feeding and sheltering sites to

ensure help for street populations most

in need; and, establish or maintain a

system that complements rather than

supplants existing private and

governmental efforts to provide rent,

mortgage, or utility assistance.

The National Board is aware that

much is asked of our voluntary Local

Boards and LROs, and very little

administrative funding is provided. But

the cooperative model that EFSP has

helped to create can be a useful vehicle

for many governmental and communitybased programs. As a group, local

providers can accomplish much:

initiating a dialogue with local offices of

Federal entities such as the U.S.

Department of Agriculture to take full

advantage of excess commodities and its

other programs or with the U.S.

Department of Labor’s Job Training

Partnership Act (JTPA); working with

Federal programs that require the input

of local providers such as the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development’s Community

Development Block Grant or Emergency

Shelter Grant and the Department of

Health and Human Services’ Health

Care for the Homeless; pooling agency

efforts to gain Federal (for example,

HUD’s Transitional Housing Program)

and private foundation grants;

leveraging EFSP funds within the

community by encouraging matches of

local EFSP allocations from State and

local governments and private

resources; and, exchanging ideas on

administrative and accounting methods

that can improve delivery of services

and focus on the collaborative rather

than the competitive aspects of agency

relations.

Fourteen years ago this program began

as a one-time effort to help address

urgent needs. The survival of this

public-private partnership is not only a

testament to needs, but also to the

effectiveness of EFSP as an example of

local decision-making and community

responsibility in attempting to meet

those needs.

EFSP is a reminder of this nation’s

willingness to confront difficult

problems within the society in new

ways. But most importantly, EFSP has

fed and sheltered homeless and hungry

people, it has maintained homes and the

families in those homes, and it has

created useful public-private

partnerships within communities.

1.0 Background and Introduction

The Emergency Food and Shelter

Program was established on March 24,

1983, with the signing of the ‘‘Jobs

Stimulus Bill,’’ Public Law 98–8. That

legislation created a National Board,

chaired by FEMA, which consisted of

representatives of the American Red

Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; the

Salvation Army; Council of Jewish

Federations, Inc.; United Way of

America; and the National Council of

Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.

Since that first piece of legislation in

1983, through its authorization under

the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless

Assistance Act (Pub.L. 100–77—signed

into law on July 24, 1987, subsequently

reauthorized under Pub.L. 100–628,

signed into law on November 7, 1988),

the Emergency Food and Shelter

Program has distributed $1.5 billion to

over 11,000 social service agencies in

more than 2,500 communities across the

country.

From its inception, the unique

features of this program have been the

partnerships it has established. At the

national level, the Federal government

and board member organizations have

the legal responsibility to work together

to set allocations criteria and establish

program guidelines. Such coalitions, as

set forth in the law, are even more vital

on the local level. In each community

Local Boards make the most significant

decisions on their own make-up and

operation, the types of services most in

need of supplemental help, what

organizations should be funded and for

what purpose and amount. These

portions of the law have remained

unchanged and are the core of this

unique public-private partnership.

1.1 Purpose

This publication is developed by the

National Board to outline the roles,

responsibilities, and implementation

procedures which shall be followed by

the National Board, FEMA Local Boards,

LROs, SSA Committees, in the

distribution and use of these funds.

National in scope, EFSP will provide

food and shelter assistance to

individuals in need through local

private voluntary organizations and

local governments in areas designated

by the National Board as being in

highest need. The intent of EFSP is to

meet emergency needs by

supplementing and expanding food and

shelter assistance individuals might

currently be receiving, as well as to help

those who are receiving no assistance.

Individuals who received assistance

under previous programs may again be

recipients, providing they meet local

eligibility requirements.

2.0 FEMA’s Role and Responsibilities

(a) FEMA will perform the following

EFSP activities:

(1) Constitute a National Board

consisting of individuals affiliated with

United Way of America; the Salvation

Army; the National Council of Churches

of Christ in the USA; Catholic Charities,

USA; the Council of Jewish Federations,

Inc.; the American Red Cross; and

FEMA.

(2) Chair the National Board, using

parliamentary procedures and

consensus by the National Board as the

mode of operation.

(3) Provide policy guidance,

management oversight, Federal
15484 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices

coordination, and staff assistance to the

National Board.

(4) Award the grant to the National

Board.

(5) Assist the Secretariat in

implementing the National Board

Program.

(6) Report to Congress on the year’s

program activities through the

Interagency Council on the Homeless

Annual Report.

(7) Conduct audits of the program.

(8) Initiate Federal collection

procedures to collect funds or

documentation due when the efforts of

the National Board have not been

successful.

3.0 National Board’s Role and

Responsibilities

(a) The National Board will perform

the following EFSP activities:

(1) Select jurisdictions of highest need

for food and shelter assistance and

determine amount to be distributed to

each.

(2) Notify national organizations

interested in emergency food and

shelter to publicize the availability of

funds.

(3) Develop the operational manual

for distributing funds and establish

criteria for expenditure of funds.

(4) In jurisdictions that received

previous awards, notify the former Local

Board chair that new funds are

available. In areas newly selected for

funding, notify the local United Way,

American Red Cross, Salvation Army, or

local government official. The National

Board will notify qualifying

jurisdictions of award eligibility within

60 days following allocation by FEMA.

(5) Provide copies of award

notification materials to National Board

member affiliates and other interested

parties.

(6) Secure board plan, certification

forms and board rosters from Local

Boards. Ensure Local Board compliance

with established guidelines.

(7) Distribute funds to selected LROs.

(8) Hear appeals and grant waivers.

(9) Establish an equitable system to

accomplish the reallocation of

unclaimed or unused funds. Unused or

recaptured funds will be reallocated by

the National Board, except in the case

of State Set-Aside counties whose funds

may be reallocated by the respective

State Set-Aside Committees.

(10) Ensure that funds are properly

accounted for, and that funds due are

collected.

(11) Provide consultation and

technical assistance to local

jurisdictions as necessary to monitor

program compliance.

(12) Compile the reports it receives

from the Local Boards and submit a

detailed accounting of use of all

program monies in the form of a report

to FEMA.

(13) Conduct a compliance review of

food and shelter expenditures made

under this program for specified LROs.

The National Board, FEMA, the

independent accounting firm selected

by the National Board, or the Inspector

General’s office may also conduct an

audit of these funds.

(14) Monitor LRO compliance with

OMB Circular A–133.

The United Way of America will act

as the National Board’s Secretariat and

fiscal agent and perform necessary

administrative duties for the Board. An

administrative allowance of one percent

of the total award may be used for

National Board administration.

3.1 Client Eligibility

The National Board does not set client

eligibility criteria. Local Boards may

choose to set such criteria. If the Local

Board does not set eligibility criteria,

the LRO may use its existing criteria or

set criteria for assistance under this

award. However, the LROs criteria must

provide for assistance to needy

individuals without discrimination (age,

race, sex, religion, national origin, or

handicap).

Funds allocated to a jurisdiction are

intended for use within that

jurisdiction. Residents of or transients

in a specific jurisdiction should seek

service within that jurisdiction.

Citizenship is not an eligibility

requirement to receive assistance from

EFSP. The National Board does not

mandate nor recommend the use of any

particular existing criteria (i.e., food

stamp guidelines, welfare guidelines, or

income guidelines).

4.0 State Set-Aside (SSA) Committee

Role and Responsibilities

(a) SSA Committee’s role.

(1) The SSA process has been adopted

to allow greater flexibility in selection of

jurisdictions and is intended to target

pockets of homelessness or poverty in

non-qualifying jurisdictions (refer to

Supplementary Information, above, on

qualifying criteria), areas experiencing

drastic economic changes such as plant

closings, areas with high levels of

unemployment or poverty which do not

meet the minimum level of

unemployment, or jurisdictions that

have documented measures of need

which are not adequately reflected in

unemployment and poverty data.

(2) The distribution of funds to SSA

Committees will be based on a ratio

calculated as follows: the State’s average

number of unemployed in non-funded

jurisdictions divided by the average

number of unemployed in non-funded

jurisdictions nationwide equals the

State’s percentage of the total amount

available for SSA awards.

(b) SSA responsibilities.

(1) A SSA Committee in each State

will recommend high-need jurisdictions

and award amounts to the National

Board. Priority consideration is to be

given to jurisdictions otherwise not

meeting criteria for funding, although

funded jurisdictions may receive

additional funding. SSA Committees

should also consider the special

circumstances of jurisdictions that

qualified in previous funding phases but

are not eligible in the current phase. The

State Committees may wish to provide

these jurisdictions with an allocation so

that the abrupt change in funding status

is not disruptive to local providers. SSA

Committees are encouraged to consider

current and significant State or local

data in their deliberations. Although the

National Board staff provides national

data to the SSA Committees, it does not

mandate any particular formula. These

committees are free to act

independently in choosing eligible

jurisdictions.

In each State, the chair of the previous

phase’s SSA Committee will be notified

of the award amount available to the

SSA Committee. In a State where there

are affiliates of the voluntary

organizations represented on the

National Board, they must be invited to

serve on the State Committee. If no

single State affiliate exists, an

appropriate representative should be

invited. The Governor or his/her

representative will replace the FEMA

member. State Committees are

encouraged to expand participation by

inviting or notifying other private nonprofit organizations on the State level.

The National Board encourages the

inclusion of Native Americans,

minorities, and other appropriate

representatives on the State Committee.

(2) Members of the SSA Committee

shall elect a person to chair the

committee.

(3) The SSA Committees are

responsible for the following:

(i) recommending high-need

jurisdictions and award amounts within

the State. When selecting jurisdictions

with demonstrated need, the National

Board encourages the consideration of

counties incorporating or adjoining

Indian reservations. The SSA

Committee has 25 working days to

notify the National Board in writing of

its selections and the appropriate

contact person for each area.

Note: The minimum award amount for a

single jurisdiction is $1,000 and only wholedollar amounts can be allocated.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices 15485

(ii) Notifying the National Board of

selection criteria that were used to

determine which jurisdictions within

the State were selected to receive funds.

The National Board will then notify

these jurisdictions directly. In the event

funds are not claimed by the SSA

jurisdictions, SSA Committees may

recommend other jurisdictions to

receive the unclaimed funds.

(4) An administrative allowance of

one-half of one percent (5) of the total

SSA award to each State may be used

for SSA administration.

5.0 Local Boards’ Role and

Responsibilities

(a) Local Boards’ Role and

Responsibilities.

(1) Each area designated by the

National Board to receive funds shall

constitute a Local Board. In a local

community where there are affiliates of

the United Way of America; The

Salvation Army; the National Council of

Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.;

Catholic Charities, U.S.A; Council of

Jewish Federations; and the American

Red Cross; which are represented on the

National Board, they must be invited to

serve on the Local Board. An agency’s

own governing board may not serve as

a Local Board. The National Board

mandates that if a jurisdiction is located

within or encompasses a federally

recognized Indian reservation, a Native

American representative must be

invited to serve on the Local Board. All

Local Boards are required to include in

their membership a homeless or

formerly homeless person. Local Boards

should seek recommendations from

LROs for an appropriate representative.

Local Boards that are unable to have

homeless or formerly homeless

representation must still consult with

homeless or formerly homeless

individuals, or former or current clients

of food or housing services for their

input. The County Executive/Mayor,

appropriate head of local government or

his or her designee will replace the

FEMA member. Local Boards are

encouraged to expand participation and

membership by inviting or notifying

minority populations, other private nonprofit organizations and government

organizations; the jurisdiction should be

geographically represented as well.

(2) The members of each Local Board

will elect a chair.

(3) Local Board membership is not

honorary; there are specific duties the

board must perform. If a member cannot

regularly attend meetings, the member

should be replaced by another

representative of the member’s

designated agency. If a member must be

absent from a meeting, the member’s

organization may designate an alternate.

(4) If a locality has not previously

received funding and is now designated

as being in high need, the National

Board has designated the local United

Way to constitute and convene a Local

Board as described above. If there is no

local United Way, or it does not

convene the board, the local American

Red Cross, the local Salvation Army, or

a local government official will be

responsible for convening the initial

meeting of the Local Board.

(5) If a locality has previously

received National Board funding, the

former chairman of the Local Board will

be contacted regarding any new funding

the locality is designated to receive.

(6) Each award phase is new;

therefore, the Local Board is a new

entity in every phase. The convener of

the Local Board must ask each agency

to designate or redesignate a

representative every program year.

(7) The National Board requires Local

Boards to select one of the following

options for meetings:

(i) Quarterly Meetings: Local Boards

are encouraged to meet quarterly to

ensure LROs are implementing the

program according to guidelines.

Meetings may be conducted via

conference calls.

(ii) Semiannual Meetings: Local

Boards meeting twice a year must also

ensure that LROs are implementing the

program according to guidelines.

Ongoing monitoring activities must take

place. Local Boards electing to hold

meetings semiannually will be required

to submit copies of their meeting

minutes with the jurisdiction’s final

report.

(8) A majority of members must be

present for the meeting to be official.

Attendance and decision-making

minutes must be kept. Meeting minutes

must be approved by the Local Board at

the next meeting. They must also be

available to the National Board, Federal

authorities, and the public on request.

(9) The Local Board will have 25

working days after the notification of

the award selection by the National

Board in which to advertise and

promote the program to give any

organization capable of providing

emergency services an opportunity to

apply for funds. Advertising must take

place prior to the Local Board’s

allocation of funds. Failure to advertise

properly will delay processing of the

jurisdiction’s board plan and

subsequent payment of funds. Local

Boards should allow at least one week

for interested organizations to apply for

funding. (Local Boards are not required

to re-advertise fund availability for

supplemental allocations within the

same spending period.

(10) The Local Board recommends

which local organizations should

receive grants and the amounts of the

grants. Local Boards must have a written

application process and consider all

private voluntary and public

organization applicants. In selecting

LROs to receive funds, the Local Board

must consider the demonstrated ability

of an organization to provide food and/

or shelter assistance. Local Board

members should strive to use consistent

criteria, sound judgment and fairness in

their approach. Local Board

membership must have no relationship

to funding. Local Board members must

abstain from voting on their own grant

awards. LROs should be selected to

receive funds to supplement and extend

eligible on-going services, not be funded

in anticipation of a needed service (i.e.,

fire victims, floods, tornadoes, etc.);

neither should agencies be selected for

funding due to budget shortfalls nor for

cuts in other funding sources.

LROs that received awards from

previous legislation may again be

eligible provided that the LRO still

meets eligibility requirements. Agencies

on Indian reservations are eligible to

receive EFSP monies, if they meet LRO

requirements.

The minimum grant per LRO is $300

and only whole-dollar amounts may be

allocated. The Local Board should be

prepared to justify an allocation of onethird (1/3) or more of its total award to

a single LRO.

(11) Local Boards are responsible for

monitoring LROs that receive over

$100,000 in Federal funds and ensuring

that they comply with OMB Circular A–

133.

(12) Local Boards must complete and

return all required forms to the National

Board. (Local Board Plan, Local Board

Certification Form, and Local Board

Roster).

(13) Local Boards shall secure and

retain signed forms from each LRO

certifying that program guidelines have

been read and understood, and that the

LROs will comply with cost eligibility

and reporting requirements.

(14) Local Boards must establish a

system to ensure that no duplication of

service occurs within the expenditure

categories of rent, mortgage or utility

assistance (RMU). Local Boards are free

to establish any system as long as no

duplication of rent/mortgage or utility

assistance can take place under

reasonable circumstances.

(15) Establish client eligibility, at

Local Board’s discretion. Local Boards

may determine client eligibility for

EFSP or utilize established LRO
15486 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices

eligibility. A separate needs test for

assistance under EFSP may be

developed and used by LROs, but

should first be approved by the Local

Board. The Local Board should

communicate eligibility criteria for

assistance under EFSP to LROs.

(16) Local Boards must notify the

National Board of changes in the Local

Board chair, staff contact, or LRO

contacts, including complete addresses

and phone numbers.

(17) Local Boards that determine they

can better utilize their resources by

merging with neighboring boards may

do so. The head of government or his or

her designee for each jurisdiction must

sit on the merged board, along with

agency representatives from each

jurisdiction. The merged Local Board

must ensure that the award amount

designated for each civil jurisdiction is

used to provide assistance to

individuals within that jurisdiction.

(18) Local Boards are required to be

familiar with current guidelines and to

provide technical assistance to service

providers. Advice and counsel can be

provided by National Board staff.

(19) An appeals process must be

established to address participation or

funding, to hear and resolve appeals

made by funded or non-funded

organizations, and to investigate

complaints made by individuals or

organizations. Appeals should be

handled promptly. Cases that cannot be

handled locally should be referred in

writing to the National Board and

include details on action that has been

taken. Only when there is significant

question of misapplication of

guidelines, fraud, or other abuse on the

part of the Local Board will the National

Board consider action. Cases involving

fraud or other misuse of Federal funds

should be reported to the Office of the

Inspector General, FEMA, in writing or

by telephone at 1–800–323–8603.

(20) The chair of the Local Board or

his or her designated staff will be the

central coordination point of contact

between the National Board and the

LRO selected to receive assistance from

EFSP.

(21) If requested by the National

Board, the Local Board should nominate

an appropriate feeding organization to

receive surplus food from Department of

Defense commissaries.

(22) Boards will be responsible for

monitoring programs carried out by the

LROs they have selected to receive

funds. Local Boards should work with

LROs to ensure that funds are being

used to meet immediate food and

shelter needs on an ongoing basis. Local

Boards may not alter or change National

Board cost eligibility or approve

expenditures outside the National

Board’s criteria without National Board

permission. An interim report of

expenditures is due to the National

Board with each LRO’s second check

request. A final report (accompanied by

financial documentation for specified

LROs) is due 45 days after the end of

each jurisdiction’s program. The

National Board will provide forms for

all required reports. Local Boards may

request other reports from their LROs at

an appropriate time (e.g., monthly or

quarterly updates).

(23) The Local Board should

reallocate funds whenever it determines

that the original allocation plan does not

reflect the actual need for services or if

an LRO is unable to use its full award

effectively. Funds must be recovered

and may be reallocated if an LRO makes

ineligible expenditures or uses funds for

items that have clearly not been

approved by the Local Board. Funds

held in escrow for LROs which have

unresolved compliance problems can be

reallocated or may be reclaimed by the

National Board. The deadline to

reallocate any funds held in escrow is

July 31, 1997.

The Local Board may approve

reallocation of funds between LROs that

are already participating in the program.

However, the National Board must be

notified in writing. The Local Board

may also return funds to the National

Board for reissuance to another LRO or

request reallocation of remaining funds

before they are released by the National

Board (e.g., second/third payments).

If the Local Board wishes to reallocate

funds to an agency that was not

approved on the original board plan, a

written request for approval must be

made to the National Board. An LRO

must be approved by the National Board

prior to receipt of funds.

Local Boards can reallocate funds

from one service to another (e.g., from

food to shelter) without National Board

approval if the transfer is within an

individual LRO.

If a Local Board is unable to satisfy

the National Board that it can utilize

funds in accordance with this plan, the

National Board may reallocate the funds

to other jurisdictions.

(24) Should anyone have reason to

suspect that EFSP funds are being used

for purposes contrary to the law and

guidelines governing the program, the

National Board recommends taking

action to assist in bringing such

practices to a halt.

The National Board requires that the

Office of the Inspector General, FEMA,

be contacted immediately when fraud,

theft, or other criminal activity is

suspected in connection with the use of

EFSP funds, or the operation of a facility

receiving EFSP funds. This notification

can be made by calling the Inspector

General’s Hotline at 1–800–323–8603, or

in writing to: Office of the Inspector

General, FEMA, 500 C Street S.W.,

Washington, DC 20472. The

complainant should include as much

information as possible to support the

allegation and preferably furnish his/her

name and telephone number so that the

special agent assigned to that office may

make a follow-up contact. The

confidentiality of any communication

made with the Office of Inspector

General is protected by Federal law.

A complainant desiring to remain

totally anonymous should make a

follow-up phone call to the Office of the

Inspector General within 30 days from

the date of the original complaint so that

any follow-up questions may be asked.

Follow-up calls should be made to 1–

202–646–3894 during normal business

hours, Eastern Standard Time (charges

may be reversed). The caller should

advise that he/she is making a followup call regarding a prior anonymous

complaint. The Office of the Inspector

General, FEMA, will appropriately

notify both local law enforcement

authorities and the National Board

concerning the substance of the

allegations and the results of the

investigation.

(25) Reports to the National Board on

LROs’ expenditures shall be submitted

as of the date each LROs second/third

check is requested and a final report

should be submitted within 45 days

after the jurisdiction’s end-of-program

date.

(26) After the close of the program,

the accuracy of all LROs’ reports and

documentation shall be reviewed.

Documentation for specified LROs

should be forwarded to the National

Board as requested. In the event

expenditures violate the eligible costs

under this award, the Local Board must

require reimbursement to the National

Board.

Local Boards are required to remain in

operation until all program and

compliance requirements of the

National Board have been satisfied. All

records related to the program must be

retained for three (3) years from the endof-program date.

(27) Each jurisdiction will be granted

the option to extend its spending period

by 30, 60, or 90 days. This option will

be offered during the summer of each

phase. The extension applies to the

entire jurisdiction. Should the

jurisdiction receive a grant in the next

phase, that phase’s spending period will

begin the day after the chosen end-date.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices 15487

5.1 Variances and Waivers

(a) Variances. Local Boards may

receive requests for variances in the

budgets they have approved for LROs.

Local Boards may allow such changes

provided that the requested items are

eligible under this program. If there is

any doubt on the part of the Local Board

as to eligibility, it should contact the

National Board for clarification.

If an expenditure requested by an

LRO falls outside the program

guidelines, the Local Board, if in accord,

should request in writing a waiver from

the National Board in advance of the

expenditure.

(b) Waivers. Waivers requested

because of a compliance exception must

be submitted to the Local and then

National Board for review. National

Board staff will evaluate waiver requests

and use discretion to approve or deny

requests. In general, the National Board

considers waiver requests that are not

within the guidelines, but address the

program’s intent.

The waiver request from the Local

Board should clearly state the need for

this exception, approximate costs,

timelines or any other pertinent

information it deems necessary for the

National Board to make their decision.

6.0 Local Recipient Organizations’

Roles and Responsibilities

(a) Local Recipient Organizations’

roles and responsibilities.

(1) In selecting LROs to receive funds,

the Local Board must consider the

demonstrated ability of an organization

to provide food and shelter assistance.

LROs should be selected to receive

funds to supplement and extend eligible

ongoing services, not to be funded in

anticipation of a needed service (i.e.,

fire, flood, or tornado victims); neither

should agencies be selected for funding

due to budget shortfalls nor for cuts in

other funding sources. Local

participation in the program is not

limited to organizations that are part of

any State or national organization.

Agencies on Indian reservations are

eligible to receive EFSP funds if they

meet LRO requirements as set forth in

the program manual. Organizations that

received awards from previous

legislation may again be eligible

provided that the organization still

meets eligibility requirements.

(2) For a local organization to be

eligible for funding it must:

(i) Be nonprofit or an agency of

government;

(ii) Have an accounting system or an

approved fiscal agent;

(iii) Have a Federal employer

identification number (FEIN), or be in

the process of securing FEIN (Note:

contact local IRS office for more

information on securing FEIN and the

necessary form [SS–4];

(iv) Conduct an independent annual

audit if receiving $25,000 or more from

EFSP;

(v) Practice nondiscrimination (those

agencies with a religious affiliation

wishing to participate in the program

must agree not to refuse services to an

applicant based on religion or require

attendance at religious services as a

condition of assistance, nor will such

groups engage in any religious

proselytizing in any program receiving

EFSP funds); and,

(vi) For private voluntary

organizations, have a voluntary board.

Each LRO will be responsible for

certifying in writing to the Local Board

that it has read and agrees to abide by

the cost eligibility and reporting

standards of this publication and any

other requirements made by the Local

Board.

An LRO may not operate as a vendor

for itself or other LROs except for the

shared maintenance fee for food banks.

(3) LROs selected for funding must:

(i) Maintain records according to the

guidelines set forth in the manual.

Consult the Local Board chair/staff on

matters requiring interpretation or

clarification prior to incurring an

expense or entering into a contract. It is

important to have a thorough

understanding of these guidelines to

avoid ineligible expenditures and

consequent repayment of funds. LROs’

questions can be answered by National

Board staff at (703) 706–9660.

(ii) Provide services within the intent

of the program. Funds are to be used to

supplement and extend food and shelter

services, not as a substitute for other

program funds. LROs should take the

most cost-effective approach in buying

or leasing eligible items/services, and

should limit purchases to essential

items within the $300 limit for

equipment, unless prior approval has

been granted by the National Board.

(iii) Deposit funds for this program in

a federally insured bank account. Proper

documentation must be maintained for

all expenditures under this program

according to the guidelines. Agencies

should ensure that selected banks will

return canceled checks. LROs’

expenditures and documentation will be

subject to review for program

compliance by the Local Board,

National Board or Federal authorities.

Records must be maintained for three

years and any interest income must be

put back into program expenditures.

6.1 Independent Annual Audit

Requirements

(a) LROs receiving $25,000 or less in

EFSP funding. No independent annual

audit will be required for these LROs.

(b) LROs receiving $25,000 or more in

EFSP funding. An independent annual

audit in accordance with Government

Auditing Standards will be required for

these LROs.

The National Board will accept an

LROs national/regional annual audit if

the following conditions are met:

(1) The LRO is truly a subsidiary of

the national organization (i.e., shares a

single Federal tax exemption).

(2) The LRO is audited by the

national/regional office internal auditors

or other person designated by the

national/regional office AND the

national/regional office is audited by an

independent certified public accountant

or public accounting firm, which

includes the parent organization’s

review of the LRO in a larger audit

review.

(3) A copy of the local audit review

by the parent organization along with a

copy of the independent audit of the

national/regional office will be made

available to the National Board upon

request.

In addition to the above requirements,

any LRO receiving $100,000 or more in

combined federal funds must have an

audit made in accordance with OMB

Circulars A–128 or A–133, as

applicable.

Audits of units of government shall be

made annually unless State or local

government had, by January 1, 1987, a

constitutional or statutory requirement

for less frequent audits. For those

governments’ biennial audits, covering

both years are permitted.

6.2 Fiscal Agent/Fiscal Conduit

Relationship

(a) For National Board purposes, a

fiscal agent is an agency that maintains

all EFSP financial records for another

agency. A fiscal conduit is an EFSPfunded agency that maintains all EFSP

financial records on behalf of one or

more agencies under a single grant. If

any one agency in a jurisdiction is

making bulk purchases for other

agencies not funded directly, it must

serve as a fiscal conduit and follow all

rules, thereof.

(b) The fiscal agent/fiscal conduit is

the organization responsible for the

receipt of funds, disbursement of funds

to vendors, and documentation of funds

received. The fiscal agent/fiscal conduit

must meet all of the requirements of an

LRO.

(c) Local Boards may wish to use a

fiscal agent/fiscal conduit when they
15488 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices

desire to fund an agency that does not

have an adequate accounting system nor

conducts an annual audit, but

nevertheless meets all other criteria. The

Local Board may authorize funds to be

channeled through another agency

which has been designated as the fiscal

agent/conduit. Fiscal agents/conduits

will be held accountable for compliance

with program requirements.

(d) Any agency benefitting from funds

received by a fiscal agent/fiscal conduit

must meet all of the criteria to be an

LRO except the accounting system and

annual audit requirements and sign the

Fiscal Agent/Fiscal Conduit

Relationship Certification Form. For

tracking purposes, all agencies funded

through fiscal agents or fiscal conduits

must secure a Federal Employer’s

Identification Number.

(e) Fiscal agents/fiscal conduits may

cut checks to vendors only. They may

not cut checks to the agencies on whose

behalf they are acting or to agencies/

sites under their ‘‘umbrella.’’ The

exception to this is when an agency is

using the per diem allowance for mass

shelters or the per meal allowance for

served meals.

(f) Fiscal agents will be required to

submit individual interim and final

reports for each agency. Fiscal conduits

will file a single interim report on their

awards along with a breakdown of

agencies and spending with the final

report.

(g) Any LRO with an outstanding

compliance exception may not be

funded under a fiscal agent/fiscal

conduit. If a fiscal agent has an

unresolved compliance exception, any

other funds awarded to the fiscal agent

(either as a grant for its own program or

as fiscal agent for another agency) will

be held in escrow until all compliance

exceptions are resolved. Fiscal conduits

will be audited as a single award, and

will be handled as any other LRO.

6.3 Financial Terms and Conditions

(a) Definitions.

‘‘Local Recipient Organization’’ refers

to the local private or public

organizations that will receive any

award of funds from the National Board.

‘‘Award’’ refers to the award of funds

made by the National Board to a local

private or public organization on the

recommendation of a Local Board.

‘‘End-of-program date’’ refers to the

date, as agreed upon by Local and

National Board, by which all monies in

a given jurisdiction must be spent or

returned.

(b) Amendments.

An award may be amended at any

time by a written modification.

Amendments that reflect the rights and

obligations of either party shall be

executed by both the National Board

and the LRO. Administrative

amendments such as changes in

accounting data may be issued

unilaterally by the National Board.

(c) Local Board Authority Related to

LROs.

(1) The Local Board is responsible for

monitoring expenditures of LROs

providing food and/or shelter services,

authorizing the adjustment of funds

between food and shelter programs, and

reallocating funds from one LRO to

another.

(2) Local Boards may not alter or

change National Board cost eligibility or

approve expenditures outside the

National Board’s criteria without

National Board permission. (Refer to

Section 3.1 on Variances and Waivers.)

(3) A Local Board can call back funds

from an LRO and reallocate to another

LRO in the case of gross negligence,

inadequate use of funds, failure to use

funds, failure to use funds for purposes

intended, or for any other violation of

the National Board guidelines, or in

cases of critical need in the community.

The Local Board must advise, in

writing, all concerned LROs of any

reallocation of their original award.

(4) In the event the Local Board

discovers ineligible expenditures by an

LRO, the Local Board must send to the

organization a written request for

reimbursement of the amount. The

National Board must also be notified. If

the LRO is unwilling or unable to

reimburse the National Board for the

ineligible expenditures, the Local Board

must refer the matter to the National

Board. The National Board may ask the

Local Board to take further action to see

that reimbursement of ineligible

expenditures is made to the National

Board, or the National Board may refer

the matter to FEMA.

If the Local Board suspects that fraud

has been committed by an LRO, the

Local Board must contact the Office of

the Inspector General, FEMA, in writing

or by telephone at 1–800–323–8603

with details of suspected fraud or

misuse of Federal funds.

(5) If an LRO received an award under

previous phases, it must not include

those funds in any reporting for the

present awards. Reports should be

confined to the amount granted by the

National Board under the new

appropriations legislation.

(d) Cash Depositories.

(1) Any money advanced to the LRO

under the terms of this award must be

deposited in a bank with Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or

Federal Savings & Loan Insurance

Corporation (FSLIC) insurance coverage

(whose responsibility has been taken

over by FDIC), and the balance

exceeding the FDIC or FSLIC coverage

must be collaterally secured. Interest

income earned on these monies must be

put back into program costs.

(2) LROs are encouraged to use

minority banks (a bank which is owned

at least 50 percent by minority group

members). This is consistent with the

national goal of expanding the

opportunities for minority business

enterprises. A list of minority-owned

banks can be obtained from the Office

of Minority Business Enterprises,

Department of Commerce, Washington,

DC 20203.

retained until all litigation, claims or

audit findings involving the records

have been resolved.

(ii) Records for nonexpendable

property, if any, acquired in part with

Federal funds shall be retained for three

conduit shall maintain a financial

management system that provides for

the following:

(i) Accurate, current and complete

disclosures of the financial results of

this program.

(ii) Records that identify adequately

the source and application of funds for

federally supported activities. These

records shall contain information

pertaining to Federal awards,
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices 15489

authorizations, obligations, unobligated

balances, assets, outlays, and incomes.

invoices, canceled checks, and whatever

other documentation is necessary to

support its costs under the program.

(vi) A systematic method to ensure

timely and appropriate resolution of

audit findings and recommendations.

(vii) In cases where more than one

civil jurisdiction (e.g., a city and a

balance of county, or several counties)

recommends awards to the same LRO,

the organization can combine these

funds in a single account. However,

separate program records for each civil

jurisdiction award must be kept.

(h) Payment.

A first payment shall be made to the

LRO by the Secretariat upon

recommendation of the Local Board and

approval by the National Board. Second

check requests include an interim report

to be completed by each LRO. The

request is signed by the Local Board

Chair, and mailed to the National Board.

Second/third installments will be held

until the jurisdiction’s final Local Board

report and documentation for the

previous year has been reviewed and

found to be clear.

(i) Financial reporting requirements.

LROs shall submit a financial status

report to the Local Board which will be

forwarded to the National Board 45 days

requirements, applicable Federal cost

principles, or other conditions

contained in the award. The applicable

cost principles for Private Voluntary

Organizations are contained in OMB

Circular A–122, ‘‘Cost Principles

Applicable for Non-Profit Agencies,’’

and OMB Circular A–110, ‘‘Uniform

Administrative Requirements for Grants

and Other Agreements with Institutions

of Higher Education, Hospitals, and

Other Non-Profit Organizations.’’ The

applicable cost principles for Public

Organizations are contained in OMB

Circular A–87, ‘‘Cost Principles for State

Agencies and Units of Local

Governments.’’ If you are unsure of

where to find these circulars, check

with your local Congressional

Representative.

(k) Suspension and Termination

Procedures.

(1) The following definitions shall

apply:

(i) ‘‘Termination’’ of the award means

the cancellation of Federal assistance, in

whole or in part, under the award at any

time prior to the date of completion.

action by the Local Board or National

Board that temporarily suspends

Federal assistance under the award

pending corrective action by the LRO or

pending a decision by the National

Board to terminate the award.

need in the community, etc.).

(l) Lobbying.

(1) Public Law 101–121, Section 319,

states that an LRO shall not use

Federally appropriated grant funds for

lobbying activities. This condition bars

the use of Federal money for political

activities, but does not in any way

restrict lobbying or political activities

paid for with non-Federal funds. This

condition prohibits the use of Federal

grant funds for the following activities:

(i) Federal, State or local

electioneering and support of such

entities as campaign organizations and

political action committees;

(ii) Direct lobbying of the Congress

and State legislatures to influence

legislation;

(iii) Grassroots lobbying concerning

either Federal or State legislation;

(iv) Lobbying of the Executive branch

in connection with decisions to sign or

veto enrolled legislation; and,

(v) Efforts to utilize State or local

officials to lobby the Congressional or

State Legislatures.

(2) Any LRO that will receive more

than $100,000 in EFSP funds is required

to submit the following prior to grant

payment:

(i) A certification form that EFSP

funds will not be used for lobbying

activities; and,

(ii) A disclosure of lobbying activities

(if applicable). This certification and

disclosure must be submitted prior to

grant payment.

6.4 Grant Payment Process

United Way of America has been

designated as the fiscal agent for the

National Board and as such will process

all Local Board plans. Payments will be

made to organizations recommended by

Local Boards for funding.

The National Board offers two

methods of payment to LROs: direct

deposit (electronic funds transfer) or

checks. The National Board encourages

LROs to take advantage of direct deposit

where possible.

All awards totaling less than $100,000

will be paid in two equal installments.

Awards totaling $100,000 or more will

be paid in two equal installments upon

submission of lobbying certification and

disclosure.

The National Board will distribute

second payments once the jurisdiction’s

compliance review is completed for the

previous program period. Second

payments will be held in escrow until

all compliance exceptions are satisfied

by the LRO. The deadline to request all

second payments under Phase XV is

July 31, 1997. Therefore, for those LROs

ineligible to receive their second checks

due to unresolved compliance

exceptions, Local Boards must

reallocate their escrowed awards by July

31, 1997.

All payments will be mailed directly

to the LRO. Second payments will be

mailed to the LRO only upon the

written request of the Local Board Chair

along with the LRO’s interim report.

The Local Board will authorize second

payments once they are assured that the

organization is implementing the

current program as intended and

according to these guidelines.

6.5 Eligibility of Costs

The intent of this appropriation is for

the purchase of food and shelter to

supplement and extend current

available resources and not to substitute

or reimburse ongoing programs and

services. Questions regarding

interpretation of the program’s

guidelines should be cleared by the LRO

with the Local Board prior to action.

Local Boards unsure of the meaning of

these guidelines should contact the

National Board at (703) 706–9660 for

clarification prior to advising the LRO.

If an expenditure requested by an LRO

is not listed below as eligible, the Local

Board has the option of requesting a

LRO for any cost related to the operation of

the mass shelter; it is not limited to otherwise

eligible items. The per diem allowance does

not include the additional costs associated

with food. Documentation required: schedule

date with totals. Supporting

documentation must be retained on-site,

e.g., checks/invoices and service

records.

(19) For all agencies, eligible costs

(c) Administrative allowance.

(1) There is an administrative

allowance limitation of two percent

(2%) of total funds received by the Local

Board, excluding any interest earned.

This allowance is a part of the total

award, not in addition to the award. The

local administrative allowance is

intended for use by LROs or Local

Boards and not for reimbursement of the

program or administrative costs that a

recipient’s parent organization (its State

or regional offices) might incur as a

result of this additional funding.

(2) The Local Board may elect to use,

for its own administrative costs, all or

any portion of the 2 percent allowance.

The decision on distribution of the

allowance among LROs rests with the

Local Board. No LRO may receive an

allowance greater than 2 percent of that

LRO’s award amount unless the LRO is

providing the administrative support for

the Local Board and it is approved by

the National Board.

(3) The SSA Committee, when in

operation, may utilize a maximum of

one-half of one percent (0.5%) for its

administrative costs in allocating the

SSA grant. As with Local Board awards,

this administrative allowance is part of

the total award, not in addition to the

award.

(4) Any of the administrative

allowance not used must be put back

into program funds for additional

services. Note: The administrative

allowance may only be allocated in

whole-dollar amounts.

Required Documentation: None with

the final report; LROs receiving funds

for administration must retain

documentation that the funds were

spent on the direct administration of

EFSP.

6.6 Required Documentation

(a) Documentation.

LRO Documentation of EFSP

expenditures requires copies of

canceled checks (both sides) and

itemized vendor invoices. An acceptable

invoice has the following

characteristics:

(1) It must be vendor originated;

(2) It must have name of vendor;

(3) It must have name of purchaser;

(4) It must have date of purchase;

(5) It must be itemized; and,

(6) It must have total cost of purchase.

Documentation may also include: per

diem schedule, per meal allowance

schedule, and mileage logs.

All LROs will be required to

periodically submit documentation to

the National Board to ensure continued

program compliance. Any LRO

receiving over $100,000 in Federal

funds must comply with OMB Circular

A–133.

(b) Reports.

In addition to the aforementioned

documentation, reports to the Local

Board must be submitted by their due

date. Interim report/second and third

check request forms will be enclosed in

the LROs’ first check package. When the

LRO is ready to request its second/third

check it must complete and sign the

interim report and forward it to the

Local Board for its review and approval.

The reverse side (second/third check

request) should be completed by the

Local Board chair and mailed to the

National Board. LROs must complete all

portions of the final report form, return

two copies to the Local Board, including

one copy of documentation if requested,

and retain a copy for their records.

The LRO must work with the Local

Board to quickly clear up any problems

related to compliance exception(s) at the

end of the program.

7.0 Local Appeals Process

(a) Fairness and openness. An appeals

process is a statement to eligible

agencies and to the community at large

that the Local Board is interested in

fairness and openness.

A good appeals process begins with

prevention. If the Local Board includes

both representatives of affiliates of the

National Board and representatives of

other groups involved with assisting

hungry and homeless people, it is less

likely to experience an appeal.

Similarly, if the Local Board’s decisionmaking process is open, thorough, and

even-handed, appeals are less likely.

It is the responsibility of the Local

Board to establish a written appeals

process. That process may be simple or

elaborate, depending on the needs of the

community.

(b) Appeals guidelines. The appeal

process should meet the following

guidelines:

(1) It should be available to agencies

and to the public upon request;

(2) It should be timely, without undue

delay;

(3) It should include the basis for

appeal (e.g., Provision of information

not previously available to the group

making the appeal or to the Local Board;

correction of erroneous information;

violation of Federal or National Board

guidelines; or allegation of bias, fraud,

or misuse of Federal funds on the part

of the Local Board may be cause for

appeal);

(4) The decision should be

communicated to the organization

making the appeal in a timely manner.

In the case of an appeal on the basis of

fraud or other abuse of Federal funds,

the agency making the appeal must be

informed of the right of referral to the

National Board;

(c) Primary decision maker. Except for

cost and LRO eligibility, the Local Board
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices 15493

is the primary decision maker. Only

when there is significant question of

misapplication of guidelines, fraud, or

other abuse on the part of the Local

Board will the National Board consider

action.

(d) Common appeals practices. The

National Board does not mandate any

particular appeals process. However,

some Local Boards have developed

processes which work well for them and

may offer some help to other

communities. Common practices

include the following:

(1) Set a time period of not more than

30 days for agencies or organizations to

appeal a funding decision;

(2) Require written notice of appeal,

signed by the Chief Volunteer Officer of

the organization making the appeal;

(3) The first level of appeal is usually

to the Local Board, or to an executive

committee of the board;

(e) Appeals boards; delegations. Some

boards appoint one or more members to

act as a liaison with the organization

making the appeal:

(1) In the case of an appeal for the

purpose of providing previously

unavailable information or correction of

erroneous information, the process

usually ends with prompt notification of

decision (within ten working days of

appeal).

(2) In the case of appeals for the

purpose of contesting alleged prejudice,

violation of law or National Board

guidelines, fraud, or misuse of Federal

funds, some boards have allowed

appeals to a group other than the board

itself. This practice is not mandated but

is permitted by the National Board.

Such groups may simply be composed

of different individuals representing the

same organizations that make up the

Local Board. They may also include an

entirely different group of persons who

have knowledge of the program and are

deemed by the board to be both

responsible and unbiased, and to hold

the trust of the community at large.

(3) If the board chooses to delegate

authority to any third party in an

appeals process, the power and

authority of that body should be clear.

Is it simply advisory to the Local Board?

Will the board abide by the decisions of

this body as long as they are consistent

with the law and the National Board

guidelines?

(4) The disposition of appeals is often

communicated by telephone to the chief

professional and volunteer officers of

the organization appealing immediately

after a decision is made. In such cases,

a written communication is sent as soon

as possible confirming the action taken.

The written communication is, of

course, the official notification.

(f) National Board role. It is important

to reaffirm that no single appeals

process is mandated or advised by the

National Board.

8.0 Allocations Formula

(a) Designation of Target Areas.

Local jurisdictions will be selected to

receive funds from the National Board

based on average unemployment

statistics from the U.S. Department of

Labor for the most current 12-month

period (August 1, 1995–July 31, 1996)

available. Also used are poverty

statistics from the 1990 Census. The

Board adopted this combined approach

in order to target funds for high-need

areas more effectively. Funds designated

for a particular jurisdiction must be

used to provide services within that

jurisdiction.

The National Board based its

determination of high-need jurisdictions

on four factors:

(1) Most current twelve-month

national unemployment rates;

(2) Total number of unemployed

within a civil jurisdiction;

(3) Total number of individuals below

the poverty level within a civil

jurisdiction; and, (4) The total

population of the civil jurisdiction.

In addition to unemployment, poverty

was used to qualify a jurisdiction for

receipt of an award.

(b) Fiscal Year 1997 Formula.

Jurisdictions were selected under

Phase XV (PL 104–204) according to the

following criteria:

(1) Jurisdictions, including balance of

counties, with 18,000+ unemployed and

a 4.5% rate of unemployment.

(2) Jurisdictions, including balance of

counties, with 400 to 17,999

unemployed and a 6.8% rate of

unemployment.

(3) Jurisdictions, including balance of

counties, with 400 or more unemployed

and an 11.7% rate of poverty.

Jurisdictions with a minimum of 400

unemployed may qualify for an award

based upon their rate of unemployment

or their rate of poverty. Once a

jurisdiction’s eligibility is established,

the National Board will determine its

fund distribution based on a ratio

calculated as follows: the average

number of unemployed within an

eligible area divided by the average

number of unemployed covered by the

national program equals the area’s

portion of the award (less National

Board administrative costs, and less that

portion of program funds required to

fulfill designated awards).

Area's avg. no. unemployed

Avg. no. unemployed in all eligible areas

Area's percent of the award (less National Board's 

administrative costs and designated awards) =

Puerto Rico and U.S. territories will

receive a designated percentage of the

total award based on the decision of the

National Board.

9.0 Amendments to Plan

The National Board reserves the right

to amend this Plan at any time.
