Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 5, 2005 / Notices 58227 

submission or untimely progress 

reporting; delayed start in project 

implementation; inconsistent Federal 

funds draw-downs in relation to 

approved work plan; or other grant/ 

project management concerns. 

In the case of a multi-year grant, this 

activity will help ANA determine if 

continued funding is justified. In 

addition, 45 CFR 1336.40 requires that 

progress reports and continuation 

applications from ANA grantees contain 

sufficient information for ANA to 

determine the extent to which the 

recipient satisfies ANA project 

evaluation standards. Sufficient 

information means information 

adequate to enable ANA to compare the 

recipient’s accomplishments with the 

goals and activities of the grantee’s 

approved work plan and with ANA 

project evaluation criteria. Grantees 

identified as potentially at-risk for 

project implementation will receive an 

on-site visit by one of ANA’s T/TA 

providers. In collaboration, the T/TA 

provider and the grantee will identify 

challenges or barriers to the project and 

develop a plan to bring the project into 

compliance with its approved Objective 

Work Plan. On-site visits shall be 

conducted by persons not directly 

involved in the administration of the 

project. 

V. Electronic Application Submission 

Pursuant to the Federal Financial 

Assistance Management Improvement 

Act (Pub. L. 106–107), HHS is 

improving the efficiency and 

coordination of its grant-making 

processes by participating in the Federal 

Government’s Grant Streamlining 

Initiative. For all FY06 competitions, 

ANA will participate in the Grants.gov 

process, which allows applicants the 

opportunity to submit applications 

electronically. Applicants are not 

required to submit electronically and 

can still submit hard copy applications. 

The applicant is responsible for 

ensuring on-time electronic submission 

is fully achieved. The following 

activities and application submission 

requirements will become effective in 

FY06: 

• ANA will no longer publish PAs in 

the Federal Register. Official ANA PAs 

will be posted on the Grants.gov Web 

site. PAs will also be posted on the ANA 

Web site and on the ANA T/TA 

providers’ Web sites. 

• Due to limitations on the number of 

times the Objective Work Plan form can 

be replicated within the Grants.gov 

system, applicants will be limited to no 

more than six (6) project objectives per 

budget period. This limitation applies to 

all applicants regardless of type of 

submission format: Hard copy or 

electronic submission. 

VI. Environmental Mitigation 

ANA received pass-through funds 

from the Department of Defense for 

Tribal and Tribal organizations to offset 

the effects of military actions at 

Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). 

ANA will announce the availability of 

these funds in FY06. A request for 

financial assistance in this program area 

does not require a non-Federal share 

match requirement. 

VII. SEDS Special Initiatives 

ANA has the discretionary authority 

to make awards in support of special 

initiatives, including but not limited to, 

healthy marriage and relationships, 

fatherhood, positive youth development 

and emergency support to Native 

communities affected by man-made or 

natural disasters. In FY06, ANA will 

announce the availability of funding for 

special initiatives when practicable. A 

request for financial assistance for any 

of the special initiatives will require a 

non-Federal share match requirement. 

VIII. Post Award Training 

ANA, through contracted services, 

conducts regional post award training. 

Past practice has been to provide 

funding to new grantees for attendance 

at this training in order to provide 

additional assistance and information 

on managing a Federal award. In FY06, 

ANA will require all applicants to 

include in their Federal budget request 

the costs associated for the proposed 

project’s finance person and the project 

manager to attend this regional training. 

It is determined that due to many 

reasons, largely grantee staff turnover, 

every grantee receiving an ANA award 

will benefit from the information 

provided at post award training, and 

therefore the expense is considered 

reasonable for all applicants to include 

in their budget request and also reflect 

in the activity in their Objective Work 

Plans. 

IX. ANA Administrative Policy 

The following policy will be used in 

all FY06 PAs. ANA has clarified many 

areas that applicants have historically 

found difficult to understand and that 

have previously prompted numerous 

questions and created application and 

project development inconsistencies. 

The ANA PAs will now include this 

clarified policy: 

• If the applicant, other than a Tribe 

or an Alaska Native Village government, 

is proposing a project benefiting Native 

Americans, Alaska Natives, or both, it 

must provide assurance that its duly 

elected or appointed board of directors 

is representative of the community to be 

served. An applicant’s governing board 

will be considered representative of the 

community to be served if the applicant 

demonstrates that at least a majority of 

the board individuals fall into one or 

more of the following categories: (1) A 

current or past member of the 

community to be served; (2) a 

prospective participant or beneficiary of 

the project to be funded; (3) have 

experience working with the 

community to be served by the project; 

or (4) have a cultural relationship with 

the community be to served.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of August 16, 2005, we 

announced a series of public meetings 

entitled ‘‘Vision 2006—A Conversation 

with the American Public.’’ These 

meetings were to be held in three cities 

(Miami, FL; Boston, MA; and Phoenix, 

AZ), and they were to be an open forum 

where consumers could interact with 

FDA’s leadership. The meetings were 

also to be an opportunity for us to 

58228 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 5, 2005 / Notices 

update the public on current agency 

programs, engage the public in 

discussions, and obtain consumer input 

on specific issues. 

We initially scheduled the meetings 

to occur on the following dates: 

September 13, 2005, in Miami, FL; 

November 2, 2005, in Boston, MA; and 

on November 30, 2005, in Phoenix, AZ. 

However, due to our need to focus on 

relief efforts associated with Hurricane 

Katrina, we postponed the Miami, FL 

meeting indefinitely (70 FR 53798, 

September 12, 2005). 

Through this notice, we regret to 

announce that we are canceling all three 

meetings at this time. Additionally, we 

will contact individuals who had 

registered for these meetings to inform 

them about the cancellation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

We invite you to learn about the 

proposed deepwater port at an

In order to allow everyone a chance 

to speak at the public meeting, we may 

limit speaker time, or extend the 

meeting hours, or both. You must
