Costs will be determined in accordance with OMB Circular No. A-87 for State and local governments. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372. States with qualifying counties must submit an application for funding in accordance with application requirements described in the annual notice of availability of formula allocation funding for targeted assistance grants. A State must submit a single application on behalf of all qualified counties in that State.
Funding is contingent upon the submission and approval of a State application.
Subsequent to the approval of the application by ORR, county governments develop local targeted assistance plans and submit them to the State. Grants are made to designated State agencies on behalf of qualifying counties. State agencies, in turn, receive, review, and determine the acceptability of individual county targeted assistance plans. Not less than 95 percent of targeted assistance funds must be allocated by the State to qualified counties. The deadline for applications is 30 days from the date of publication of the final notice.
