LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

Accounting Guide for LSC Recipients

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation.

ACTION: Proposed guidelines.

SUMMARY: The Legal Services

Corporation (LSC or Corporation)

hereby publishes for comment by

interested parties a proposed

Accounting Guide for LSC Recipients

(Guide), which would replace the

accounting portions of the 1981 and

1986 editions of LSC Audit and

Accounting Guide for Recipients and

Auditors (Audit and Accounting Guide).

The Audit Guide for LSC Recipients and

Auditors, issued in 1995 and revised by

the LSC Office of Inspector General in

1996, replaced the audit portions of

both editions of the Audit and

Accounting Guide. Thus, when this

Guide is published in final, all previous

editions of the Audit and Accounting

Guide will become obsolete.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 12, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Guide may be

downloaded from LSC Homepage or

HANDSNET, or requested via E-mail at

ACCTGUID@SMTP.LSC.GOV or by

voice mail at 202–336–8846 or by fax at

202–336–8854. Comments may be

submitted in writing to the above E-mail

address or to the Office of Program

Operations, Legal Services Corporation,

750 1st Street, NE., Washington, DC

20002–4250, Attention: LSC Accounting

Guide.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Charles Crittenden, Program Analyst,

Office of Program Operations. (202)

336–8800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

addition to assisting recipients and their

auditors in understanding the

accounting and reporting requirements

for contracts and grants entered into

with the LSC, the Guide revises and

updates LSC accounting and financial

reporting requirements and guidelines

based on recently promulgated

Generally Accepted Accounting

Principles (GAAP) that apply to not-forprofit organizations. Using these new

standards, the proposed Guide describes

the accounting policies, guidelines,

records, and internal control procedures

that LSC considers adequate to provide

proper accounting, financial reporting,

and management of LSC funds.

Additionally, the Guide provides in

individual appendices: (1) illustrative

financial statement formats acceptable

to LSC; (2) descriptions of

recommended accounting records; (3) a

sample chart of accounts; (4) accounting

policies and procedures for property; (5)

accounting for client trust funds; (6)

other regulatory requirements for notfor-profit organizations; (7) checklist of

accounting and internal control

procedures; (8) LSC regulations setting

accounting policies; (9) listing of GAAP

for not-for-profit organizations; and (10)

a glossary of terms and definitions.

The proposed guidelines are intended

to reflect GAAP methods that will result

in the most meaningful financial

information for LSC, and for most

readers of an LSC recipient’s financial

statements. The Corporation has

established a 30-day comment period

from the date of this notice, during

which LSC invites general comments on

the Guide and specific comments on the

following issues:
17882 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 1997 / Notices

(1) Classification of LSC Funds and

Property: i.e., unrestricted, temporarily

restricted or permanently restricted in

the financial statements. The Guide

classifies LSC funds as temporarily

restricted net assets that remain

restricted until eligible expenses are

incurred on permissible activity,

unearned LSC funds (i.e., formerly

deferred support) as refundable

advances until earned, and property

purchased with LSC funds as a

permanent restricted net asset. We

invite comments on the impact of this

treatment of LSC funds and property.

(2) Electronic transfer of Grant

Activity: LSC is seeking to establish a

uniform and effective means by which

a recipient can electronically file audits

and other financial reports with LSC.

The electronic transfer necessarily

would require uniform presentation of

financial data. We solicit comments on

the advisability and feasibility of

accomplishing this result.

(3) Cost Allocations: We invite

comments on what guidance would be

useful regarding cost allocation

procedures and bases.

(4) Appropriation of Net Assets/Fund

Balances: The Guide proposes treating

all unexpended funds at the end of the

grant year as ‘‘net assets,’’ including

amounts which could be deemed to be

an excess ‘‘fund balance’’ subject to

recovery by LSC under 45 CFR 1628. We

also invite comment on the appropriate

accounting treatment of reserves for

encumbrances and contingencies which

should be included in net assets (fund

balances).

Where possible, comments should

reference applicable paragraph numbers

in the proposed revision.

Dated: April 8, 1997.

Deputy Director.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

National Science Foundation Proposal/

Award Information—Grant Proposal

Guide; Submission for OMB Review:

Comment Request

In compliance with the requirement

of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for

opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the

National Science Foundation (NSF) will

publish periodic summaries of proposed

projects. Such a notice was published at

Federal Register, 4815, dated January

31, 1997. No comments were received.

This material is being submitted for

OMB review with no changes. Send any

written comments to Desk Officer, OMB,

3145–0058, OIRA, Office of

Management and Budget, Washington,

DC 20503. Written comments should be

received by May 1, 1997.

Comments are invited on (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information on

respondents, including through the use

of automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Proposed project. ‘‘National Science

Foundation Proposal/Award

Information—Grant Proposal Guide.’’

The missions of the NSF are to: increase

the Nation’s base of scientific and

engineering knowledge and strengthen

its ability to support research in all

areas of science and engineering; and

promote innovative science and

engineering education programs that

can better prepare the Nation to meet

the challenges of the future. The

foundation is also committed to

ensuring the Nation’s supply of

scientists, engineers, and science

educators. In its role as leading Federal

supporter of science and engineering,

NSF also has an important role in

national science policy planning.

The information collected is used to

help the Foundation fulfill this

responsibility by initiating and

supporting merit-selected research and

education projects in all the scientific

and engineering disciplines. NSF

receives more than 30,000 proposals

annually for new or renewal support for

research, and math/science/engineering

education projects, and makes

approximately 10,000 new awards. This

support is made primarily through

grants contracts, and other agreements

awarded to approximately 2,800

colleges, universities, academic

consortia, nonprofit institutions, and

small businesses. The awards are based

on mainly on evaluations of proposal

merit submitted to the Foundation (see

OMB Clearance No. 3145–0060).

The Foundation has a continuing

commitment to monitor the operations

of its review and award processes to

identify and address excessive reporting

burdens. The Foundation is also

committed to monitor and identify any

real or apparent inequities based on

gender, race, ethnicity, or handicap of

the proposed principal investigator(s)/

project director(s) or the co-principal

investigator(s)/co-project director(s).

The collection of this information is a

part of the regular submission of

proposals to the Foundation.

Dated: April 4, 1997.
