‘‘Intergovernmental Review of

Department of Health and Human

Services Programs and Activities.’’

As of June 15, 1997, the following

jurisdictions have elected not to

participate in the Executive Order

process. Applicants from these

jurisdictions need take no action in

regard to E.O. 12372: Alabama, Alaska,

Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho,

Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts,

Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New

Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee,

Vermont, Virginia, Washington,

American Samoa, and Palau.

All remaining jurisdictions participate

in the E.O. process and have established

Single Points of Contact (SPOCs).

Applicants from participating

jurisdictions should contact their SPOCs

as soon as possible to alert them to the

prospective applications and receive

instructions. Applicants must submit

any required material to the SPOCs as

soon as possible so that ORR can obtain

and review SPOC comments as part of

the award process. The applicant must

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.

Under 45 CFR 100.8(a)(2), a SPOC has

60 days from the application deadline to

comment on proposed new or

competing continuation awards. SPOCs

are encouraged to eliminate the

submission of routine endorsements as

official recommendations.

Additionally, SPOCs are requested to

clearly differentiate between mere

advisory comments and those official

State process recommendations which

may trigger the ‘‘accommodate or

explain’’ rule. When comments are

submitted directly to ACF, they should

be addressed to: Department of Health

and Human Services, Administration for

Children and Families, Office of Refugee

Resettlement, Division of Community

Resettlement, 6th Floor, 370 L’Enfant

Promenade, SW., Washington, DC.
