Financial and Administrative

Requirements

Discretionary grants are governed by

the provisions of OMB Circulars

applicable to financial assistance. The

circulars, with additional information

and guidance, are contained in the

‘‘Financial and Administrative Guide

for Grants,’’ Office of Justice Programs,

Guideline Manual, M7100, available

from the Office of Justice Programs. This

guideline manual, provided upon

request, is intended to assist grantees in

the administration of funds and

includes information on allowable costs,

methods of payment, Federal rights of

access to records, audit requirements,

accounting systems, and financial

records.

Complete and accurate information is

required relative to the application,

expenditure of funds, and program

performance. The consequences of

failure to comply with program

guidelines and requirements will be

determined at the discretion of the

Department.

Civil Rights Obligations

All applicants for Federal financial

assistance must sign Certified

Assurances that they are in compliance

with the Federal laws and regulations

which prohibit discrimination in any

program or activity that receives such

Federal funds. Section 809(c), Omnibus

Crime Control & Safe Streets Act of

1968, provides that:

No person in any State shall on the

ground of race, color, religion, national

origin, or sex be excluded from

participation in, be denied the benefits

of, or be subjected to discrimination

under, or denied employment in

connection with any program or activity

funded in whole or in part with funds

made available under this title.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

of 1973, and Title II of the Americans

With Disabilities Act prohibit

discrimination on the basis of disability.

The applicant agency must discuss how

it will ensure nondiscriminatory

practices as they relate to:

(1) Delivery of services or benefits—

to ensure that individuals will not be

denied access to services or benefits

under the program or activity on the

basis of race, color, religion, national

origin, gender, age, or disability;

(2) Employment practices—to ensure

that its personnel in the program or

activity are selected for employment

without regard to race, color, religion,

national origin, gender, age, or

disability; and

(3) Program participation—to ensure

members of any planning, steering or

advisory board, which is an integral part

of the program or activity, are not

excluded from participation on the basis

of race, color, religion, national origin,

gender, age or disability; and to

encourage the selection of such

members who are reflective of the

diversity in the community to be served.

Audit Requirement

In October 1984, Congress passed the

Single Audit Act of 1984. On April 12,

1985, the Office of Management and

Budget issued Circular A–128, ‘‘Audits

of State and Local Governments’’ which

establishes regulations to implement the

Act. OMB Circular A–128, ‘‘Audits of

State and Local Governments,’’ outlines

the requirements for organizational

audits which apply to BJS grantees.

Disclosure of Federal Participation

Section 8136 of the Department of

Defense Appropriations Act (Stevens

Amendment), enacted in October 1988,

requires that, ‘‘when issuing statements,

press releases for proposals, bid

solicitations, and other documents

describing projects or programs funded

in whole or in part with Federal money,

all grantees receiving Federal funds,

including but not limited to State and

local governments, shall clearly state (1)

the percentage of the total cost of the

program or project which will be

financed with Federal money, and (2)

the dollar amount of Federal funds for

the project or program.’’

Intergovernmental Review of Federal

Programs

Federal Executive Order 12372,

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal

Programs,’’ allows States to establish a

process for reviewing Federal programs

in the State, to choose which programs

they wish to review, to conduct such

reviews, and to make their views known

to the funding Federal agency through a

State ‘‘single point of contact.’’

If the State has established a ‘‘single

point of contact,’’ and if the State has

selected this program to be included in

its review process, the applicant must

send a copy of its letter or application

to the State ‘‘single point of contact’’ at

the same time that it is submitted to BJS.

The letter or application submitted to

BJS must indicate that this has been

done. The State must complete its

review within 60 days. The review

period will begin on the date that the

letter or application is officially

received by BJS. If BJS does not receive

comments from the State’s ‘‘single point

of contact’’ by the end of the review

period, this will be interpreted as a ‘‘no

comment’’ response.

If the State has not established a

‘‘single point of contact,’’ or if it has not

selected the BJS statistics development

or criminal history improvement

programs in its review process, this

must be stated in the letter or

application.

Notice of Affirmative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration

By letter of April 26, 1996, one of the

petitioners requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance for workers of the subject

firm. The denial notice was signed on

March 28, 1996, and published in the

Federal Register on April 9, 1996 (61 FR

The petitioner presents evidence that

the worker group did not provide a

service, but instead produced a product.

Conclusion

After careful review of the

application, I conclude that the claim is

of sufficient weight to justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. The application

is, therefore, granted.

the workers of Cole Haan, Livermore

Falls location, Livermore, Maine.
