SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Program Announcement for the Paul

D. Coverdell Drug-Free Workplace

Program

AGENCY: Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Program announcement.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business

Administration (SBA) plans to issue

program announcement #SBDC–01–

0002 to invite applications from eligible

intermediaries in accordance with the

Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1998 (Act).

The authorizing legislation is the Small

Business Act, section 21(c)(3)(T) and

section 27, 15 U.S.C. 648(c)(3)(T) and

654, (Title IX of Pub. L. 105–277).

The Act permits the SBA to make

grants to eligible intermediaries for the

purpose of providing financial and

technical assistance to small businesses

seeking to establish drug-free workplace

programs. In establishing these DFWP

programs, as contemplated by the Act,

eligible intermediaries should provide

outreach to the small business

community and provide additional

voluntary education for parents.

Outreach must include educating small

businesses on the benefits of a drug-free

workplace and encouraging small

business employers and employees to

participate in drug-free workplace

programs. Education for parents must

include teaching them how to keep their

children drug-free.

All applicants must meet the

definition of ‘‘Eligible Intermediary’’ as

defined in the Act. Any applicants not

meeting the definition will be

considered non-responsive and their

proposals will not be technically

evaluated. The Act defines ‘‘Eligible

Intermediary’’ as an organization that:

1. Has at least two years of experience

in carrying out drug-free workplace

programs;

2. Has a drug-free workplace policy in

effect;

3. Is located in a State, the District of

Columbia, or a territory of the United

States; and

4. Has as its purpose the development

of comprehensive drug-free workplace

programs, or supplying drug-free

workplace services, or providing other

forms of assistance and services to small

businesses.
