AMS encourages applicants to submit 

SCBGP–FB applications electronically 

through the central Federal grants Web 

site, http://www.grants.gov instead of 

mailing hard copy documents. Original 

signatures are not needed on the SF–424 

and SF–424B when applying through 

http://www.grants.gov and applicants 

are not required to submit any paper 

documents to AMS. Applicants 

considering the electronic application 

option are strongly urged to familiarize 

themselves with the Federal grants Web 

site and begin the application process 

well before the application deadline. 

For information on how to apply 

electronically, please consult http:// 

www.grants.gov/GetRegistered. 

Applicants submitting hard copy 

applications should submit one copy of 

the application package. The SF–424 

must be signed (with an original 

signature) by an official who has 

authority to apply for Federal 

assistance. Hard copy applications 

should be sent only via express mail to 

AMS at the address noted at the 

beginning of this notice because USPS 

mail sent to Washington, DC 

headquarters is sanitized, resulting in 

possible delays, loss, and physical 

damage to enclosures. AMS will send an 

email confirmation when applications 

arrive at the AMS office. 

Applicants who submit hard copy 

applications are also encouraged to 

submit electronic versions of their 

application directly to AMS via email 

addressed to scblockgrants@usda.gov in 

one of the following formats: Word 

(*.doc); or Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf). 

Alternatively, a standard 3.5’’ HD 

diskette or a CD may be enclosed with 

the hard copy application. 

SCBGP–FB is listed in the ‘‘Catalog of 

Federal Domestic Assistance’’ under 

number 10.170 and subject agencies 

must adhere to Title VI of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, which bars 

discrimination in all Federally assisted 

programs.
