    SUMMARY: The Office of Community Services (OCS) announces that

    Secretary's discretionary authority under Section 682 of the Community 
    Services Block Grant Act of 1981, as
    
    [[Page 9774]]
    
    amended. This Program Announcement contains forms and instructions for 
    submitting an application.
        For Fiscal Years 1998-2001 the National Youth Sport Program would 
    become a non-competing continuation grant. This means that once the 
    Fiscal Year 1997 grantee has been selected the continuation grant 
    funded under this award beyond the first one year budget period, will 
    be entertained in subsequent years on a non-competitive basis, subject 
    to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the grantee, and a 
    determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of 
    the Government. The National Youth Sports Program will be announced 
    again in Fiscal Year 2002.
    
    CLOSING DATE: The closing date and time for receipt of applications is 
    4:30 p.m., eastern time zone, on May 5, 1997. Applications received 
    after 4:30 p.m. will be classified as late. Postmarks and other similar 
    documents do not establish receipt of an application. Detailed 
    application submission instructions including the addresses where 
    applications must be received are found in Part G.1. of this 
    announcement.

        Section 682 of the Community Services Block Grant Act, as amended, 
    authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make a grant 
    to an eligible service provider to administer national or regional 
    programs designed to provide instructional activities for low-income 
    youth.
    
    2. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
    
        The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for OCS programs 
    covered under this announcement is 93.570. The title is ``CSBG 
    Discretionary Awards.''
    
    3. Definitions of Terms
    
        For purposes of this Program Announcement the following definitions 
    apply:
    
    --Low-income youth: A youth between the ages of 10 through 16 whose 
    family income does not exceed the DHHS Poverty Income Guidelines.
    --Eligible Applicant: A national private nonprofit organization, a 
    coalition of such organizations, or a private nonprofit organization 
    applying jointly with a business concern that has demonstrated 
    experience in operating a program providing instructions to low-income 
    youth.
    --Budget period: The interval of time into which a grant period of 
    assistance is divided for budgetary and funding purposes.
    --Project period: The total time for which a project is approved for 
    support, including any approved extensions.
    
    Part B--Application Prerequisites
    
    1. Eligible Applicants
    
        OCS will only consider those applications received from entities 
    which are eligible applicants as specified in Part A 3. of this 
    announcement. Non-profit organizations must submit proof of their non-
    profit status in their applications at the time of submission. Failure 
    to do so will result in rejection of their applications. The non-profit 
    agency can accomplish this by providing a copy of the applicant's 
    listing in the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) most recent list of 
    tax-exempt organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code 
    or by providing a copy of currently valid IRS tax exemption 
    certification, or by providing a copy of the articles of incorporation 
    bearing the seal of the State in which the corporation or association 
    is domiciled.
    
    2. Number of Grants, Grant Amount, and Matching Requirements
    
    a. Number of Grants
        In Fiscal Year 1997, OCS anticipates that one grant will be made 
    under this program. For Fiscal Years 1998-2001, OCS anticipates, 
    subject to the availability of funds, that one grant will be made under 
    this program.
    b. Grant Amounts
        Estimated twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) is available for 
    Fiscal Year 1997. For Fiscal Years 1998-2001, the estimated amounts of 
    ($12,000,000) are subject to final appropriation.
    c. Matching Requirements
        The grants require a match of either cash or third party in-kind of 
    one dollar for each dollar awarded up to $9,400,000 and a cash match of 
    25% of the Federal funds requested in excess of $9,400,000.
    
    3. Project Period and Budget Period
    
        The project period must not exceed 60 months (5 years), with a 
    budget period not to exceed 12 months. A significant amount of the 
    program activities must be undertaken in the period covering June, July 
    and August of each fiscal year.
    
    4. Administrative Costs/Indirect Costs
    
        No federal funds from a grant made under this program may be used 
    for administrative expenses. To the extent that indirect costs are not 
    administrative in nature, such costs may be allowed provided the 
    grantee has negotiated an approved Indirect Cost Rate Agreement which 
    excludes administrative expenses. However, it should be understood that 
    indirect costs are part of, and not in addition to, the amount of funds 
    awarded in the subject grant.
    
    5. Program Beneficiaries
    
        Projects proposed for funding under this announcement must result 
    in direct benefits targeted toward 10-16 year olds from low-income 
    families.
        Attachment A to this announcement is an excerpt from the most 
    recently published Poverty Income guidelines. Annual revisions of these 
    Guidelines are normally published in the Federal Register in February 
    or early March of each year and are applicable to projects being 
    implemented at the time of publication. Grantees will be required to 
    apply the most recent Guidelines throughout the project period. No 
    other government agency or privately defined poverty guidelines are 
    applicable to the determination of low-income eligibility for this OCS 
    program.
        The Federal Register may be obtained from public libraries, 
    Congressional offices, or by writing the Superintendent of Documents, 
    U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

    recognized Indian Tribes are also exempt from the requirements of
    
    [[Page 9777]]
    
    E.O. 12372. Otherwise, applicants should contact their SPOCs as soon as 
    possible to alert them of the prospective applications and receive any 
    necessary instructions. Applicants must submit any required material to 
    the SPOCs as soon as possible so that the program office can obtain and 
    review SPOC comments as part of the award process. It is imperative 
    that the applicant submit all required materials, if any, to the SPOC 
    and indicate the date of this submittal (or the date of contact if no

    is included as Attachment C of this announcement.
    
    Section B--Information Not Available
    
    1. Availability of Forms
        Copies of the Federal Register containing this Announcement are 
    available at most local libraries and Congressional District Offices 
    for reproduction. If copies are not available at these sources they may 
    be obtained by writing or telephoning the office listed in the section 
    entitled Contact at the beginning of this Announcement.
    2. Application Submission
        For Fiscal Years 1998-2001 the grantee will be notified of the 
    requirements for submission of the continuation application by March of 
    the current fiscal year.
    3. Application Consideration
        Applications which meet the screening requirements in Section 5 
    below will be reviewed competitively. Such applications will be 
    referred to reviewers for a numerical score and explanatory comments 
    based solely on responsiveness to program guidelines and evaluation 
    criteria published in this announcement. Applications will be reviewed 
    by persons outside of the OCS unit which would be directly responsible 
    for programmatic management of the grant. The results of these reviews 
    will assist the Director and OCS program staff in considering competing 
    applications. Reviewers' scores will weigh heavily in funding decisions 
    but will not be the only factors considered. Applications will 
    generally be considered in order of the average scores assigned by 
    reviewers. However, highly ranked applications are not guaranteed 
    funding since the Director may also consider other factors deemed 
    relevant including, but not limited to, the timely and proper 
    completion of projects funded with OCS funds granted in the last five 
    (5) years; comments of reviewers and government officials; staff 
    evaluation and input; geographic distribution; previous program 
    performance of applicants; compliance with grant terms under previous 
    DHHS grants; audit reports; investigative reports; and applicant's 
    progress in resolving any final audit disallowances on OCS or other 
    Federal agency grants. OCS reserves the right to discuss applications 
    with other Federal or non-Federal funding sources to ascertain the 
    applicant's performance record.
    4. Criteria for Reviewing Applications
        All applications that meet the published deadline for submission 
    will be screened to determine completeness and conformity to the 
    requirements of this Announcement. Only those applications meeting the 
    following requirements will be reviewed and evaluated competitively. 
    Others will be returned to the applicants with a notation that they 
    were unacceptable.
    a. Initial Screening

        (3) Assurances (SF-424B) signed by the appropriate official.
    b. Pre-rating Review
        Applications which pass the initial screening will be forwarded to 
    reviewers for analytical comment and scoring based on the criteria 
    detailed in the Section below and the specific requirements contained 
    in Part C of this Announcement. Prior to the programmatic review, these 
    reviewers and/or OCS staff will verify that the applications comply 
    with this Program Announcement in the following areas:

    and project requirements described in Part C of this Announcement.
    c. Evaluation Criteria
        Applications which pass the initial screening and prerating review 
    will be assessed and scored by reviewers. Each reviewer will give a 
    numerical score for each application reviewed. These numerical scores 
    will be supported by explanatory statements on a formal rating form

    Instructions for the SF-424A
    
    General Instructions
    
        This form is designed so that application can be made for funds 
    from one or more grant programs. In preparing the budget, adhere to 
    any existing Federal grantor agency guidelines which prescribe how 
    and whether budgeted amounts should be separately shown for 
    different functions or activities within the program. For some 
    programs, grantor agencies may require budgets to be separately 
    shown by function or activity. For other programs, grantor agencies 
    may require a breakdown by function or activity. Sections A, B, C, 
    and D should include budget estimates for the whole project except 
    when applying for assistance which requires Federal authorization in 
    annual or other funding period increments. In the latter case, 
    Sections A, B, C, and D should provide the budget for the first 
    budget period (usually a year) and Section E should present the need 
    for Federal assistance in the subsequent budget periods. All 
    applications should contain a breakdown by the object class 
    categories shown in Lines a-k of Section B.
    
    Section A. Budget Summary
    
        Lines 1-4, Columns (a) and (b).
        For applications pertaining to a single Federal grant program 
    (Federal Domestic Assistance Catalog number) and not requiring a 
    functional or activity breakdown, enter on Line 1 under Column (a) 
    the catalog program title and the catalog number in Column (b).
        For applications pertaining to a single program requiring budget 
    amounts by multiple functions or activities, enter the name of each 
    activity or function on each line in Column (a), and enter the 
    catalog number in Column (b). For applications pertaining to 
    multiple programs where none of the programs require a breakdown by 
    function or activity, enter the catalog program title on each line 
    in Column (a) and the respective catalog number on each line in 
    Column (b).
        For applications pertaining to multiple programs where one or 
    more programs require a breakdown by function or activity, prepare a 
    separate sheet for each program requiring the breakdown. Additional 
    sheets should be used when one form does not provide adequate space 
    for all breakdown of data required. However, when more than one 
    sheet is used, the first page should provide the summary totals by 
    programs.
    
    Lines 1-4, Columns (c) through (g.)
    
        For new applications, leave Columns (c) and (d) blank. For each 
    line entry in Columns (a) and (b), enter in Columns (e), (f), and 
    (g) the appropriate amounts of funds needed to support the project 
    for the first funding period (usually a year).
        For continuing grant program applications, submit these forms 
    before the end of each funding period as required by the grantor 
    agency. Enter in Columns (c) and (d) the estimated amounts of funds 
    which will remain unobligated at the end of the grant funding period 
    only if the Federal grantor agency instructions provide for this. 
    Otherwise, leave these columns blank. Enter in columns (e) and (f) 
    the amounts of funds needed for the upcoming period. The amount(s) 
    in Column (g) should be the sum of amounts in Columns (e) and (f).
        For supplemental grants and changes to existing grants, do not 
    use Columns (c) and (d). Enter in Column (e) the amount of the 
    increase or decrease of Federal funds and enter in Column (f) the 
    amount of the increase or decrease of non-Federal funds. In Column 
    (g) enter the new total budgeted amount (Federal and non-Federal) 
    which includes the total previous authorized budgeted amounts plus 
    or minus, as appropriate, the amounts shown in Columns (e) and (f). 
    The amount(s) in Column (g) should not equal to sum of amounts in 
    Columns (e) and (f).
        Line 5--Show the totals for all columns used.
    
    Section B Budget Categories
    
        In the column headings (1) through (4), enter the titles of the 
    same programs, functions, and activities shown on Lines 1-4, Column 
    (a), Section A. When additional sheets are prepared for Section A, 
    provide similar column headings on each sheet. For each program, 
    function or activity, fill in the total requirements for funds (both 
    Federal and non-Federal) by object class categories.
        Lines 6a-i--Show the totals of Lines 6a to 6h in each column.
        Line 6j--Show the amount of indirect cost.
        Line 6k--Enter the total of amounts on Lines 6i and 6j. For all 
    applications for new grants and continuation grants the total amount 
    in column (5), Link 6k, should be the same as the total amount shown 
    in Section A, Column (g), Line 5. For supplemental grants and 
    changes to grants, the total amount of the increase or decrease as 
    shown in Columns (1)-(4), Line 6k should be the same as the sum of 
    the amounts in Section A, Columns (e) and (f) on Line 5.
        Line 7--Enter the estimated amount of income, if any, expected 
    to be generated from this project. Do not add or subtract this 
    amount from the total project amount. Show under the program 
    narrative statement the nature and source of income. The estimated 
    amount of program income may be considered by the federal grantor 
    agency in determining the total amount of the grant.
    
    Section C. Non-Federal-Resources
    
        Lines 8-11--Enter amounts of non-Federal resources that will be 
    used on the grant. If in-kind contributions are included, provide a 
    brief explanation on a separate sheet.
        Column (a)--Enter the program titles identical to Column (a), 
    Section A. A breakdown by function or activity is not necessary.
        Column (b)--Enter the contribution to be made by the applicant.
        Column (c)--Enter the amount of the State's cash and in-kind 
    contribution if the applicant is not a State or State agency.

    to be made from all other sources.
        Column (e)--Enter totals of Columns (b), (c), and (d).

    in Column (e) should be equal to the amount on Line 5, Column (f), 
    Section A.

        Line 13--Enter the amount of cash needed by quarter from the 
    grantor agency during the first year.

    by quarter during the first year.
        Line 15--Enter the totals of amounts on Lines 13 and 14.
    
    Section E. Budget Estimates of Federal Funds Needed for Balance of the 
    Project
    
        Lines 16-19--Enter in Column (a) the same grant program titles 
    shown in Column (a), Section A. A breakdown by function or activity 
    is not necessary. For new applications and continuation grant 
    applications, enter in the proper columns amounts of Federal funds 
    which will be needed to complete the program or project over the 
    succeeding funding periods (usually in years). This section need not 
    be completed for revisions (amendments, changes, or supplements) to 
    funds for the current year of existing grants.
        If more than four lines are needed to list the program titles, 
    submit additional schedules as necessary.
        Line 20--Enter the total for each of the Columns (b)-(e). When 
    additional schedules are prepared for this Section, annotate 
    accordingly and show the overall totals on this line.

        Line 21--Use this space to explain amounts for individual direct 
    object-class cost categories that may appear to be out of the 
    ordinary or to explain the details as required by the Federal 
    grantor agency.
        Line 22--Enter the type of indirect rate (provisional, 
    predetermined, final or fixed) that will be in effect during the 
    funding period, the estimated amount of the base to which the rate 
    is applied, and the total indirect expense.
        Line 23--Provide any other explanations or comments deemed 
    necessary.

        Note: Certain of these assurances may not be applicable to your 
    project or program. If you have questions, please contact the 
    awarding agency. Further, certain Federal awarding agencies may

    Program Narrative
    
        This program narrative section was designed for use by many and 
    varied programs. Consequently, it is not possible to provide 
    specific guidance for developing a program narrative statement that 
    would be appropriate in all cases. Applicants must refer the 
    relevant program announcement for information on specific program 
    requirements and any additional guidelines for preparing the program 
    narrative statement. The following are general guidelines for 
    preparing a program narrative statement.
        The program narrative provides a major means by which the 
    application is evaluated and ranked to compete with other 
    applications for available assistance. It should be concise and 
    complete and should address the activity for which Federal funds are 
    requested. Supporting documents should be included where they can 
    present information clearly and succinctly. Applicants are 
    encouraged to provide information on their organizational structure, 
    staff, related experience, and other information considered to be 
    relevant. Awarding offices use this and other information to 
    determine whether the applicant has the capability and resources 
    necessary to carry out the proposed project. It is important, 
    therefore, that this information be included in the application. 
    However, in the narrative the applicant must distinguish between 
    resources directly related to the proposed project from those which 
    will not be used in support of the specific project for which funds 
    are requested.
        Cross-referencing should be used rather than repetition. ACF is 
    particularly interested in specific factual information and 
    statements of measurable goals in quantitative terms. Narratives are 
    evaluated on the basis of substance, not length. Extensive exhibits 
    are not required. (Supporting information concerning activities 
    which will not be directly funded by the grant or information which 
    does not directly pertain to an integral part of the grant funded 
    activity should be placed in an appendix.) Pages should be numbered 
    for easy reference.
        Prepare the program narrative statement in accordance with the 
    following instructions:
         Applicants submitting new applications or competing 
    continuation applications should respond to Items A and D.
         Applicants submitting noncompeting continuation 
    applications should respond to Item B.
         Applicants requesting supplemental assistance should 
    respond to Item C.
    
    [[Page 9785]]
    
    A. Project Description--Components
    
    1. Project Summary/Abstract
    
        A summary of the project description (usually a page or less) 
    with reference to the funding request should be placed directly 
    behind the table of contents or SF-424.
    
    2. Objectives and Need for Assistance
    
        Applicants must clearly identify the physical, economic, social, 
    financial, institutional, or other problem(s) requiring a solution. 
    The need for assistance must be demonstrated and the principal and 
    subordinate objectives of the project must be clearly stated; 
    supporting documentation such as letters of support and testimonials 
    from concerned interests other than the applicant may be included. 
    Any relevant data based on planning studies should be included or 
    referenced in the endnotes/footnotes. Incorporate demographic data 
    and participant/beneficiary information, as needed. In developing 
    the narrative, the applicant may volunteer or be requested to 
    provide information on the total range of projects currently 
    conducted and supported (or to be initiated), some of which may be 
    outside the scope of the program announcement.
    
    3. Results or Benefits Expected
    
        Identify results and benefits to be derived. For example, when 
    applying for a grant to establish a neighborhood child care center, 
    describe who will occupy the facility, who will use the facility, 
    how the facility will be used, and how the facility will benefit the 
    community which it will serve.
    
    4. Approach
    
        Outline a plan of action which describes the scope and detail of 
    how the proposed work will be accomplished. Account for all 
    functions or activities identified in the application. Cite factors 
    which might accelerate or decelerate the work and state your reason 
    for taking this approach rather than others. Describe any unusual 
    features of the project such as design or technological innovations, 
    reductions in cost or time, or extraordinary social and community 
    involvement.
        Provide quantitative monthly or quarterly projections of the 
    accomplishments to be achieved for each function or activity in such 
    terms as the number of people to be served and the number of 
    microloans made. When accomplishments cannot be quantified by 
    activity or function, list them in chronological order to show the 
    schedule of accomplishments and their target dates.
        Identify the kinds of data to be collected, maintained, and/or 
    disseminated. (Note that clearance from the U.S. Office of 
    Management and Budget might be needed prior to an information 
    collection.) List organizations, cooperating entities, consultants, 
    or other key individuals who will work on the project along with a 
    short description of the nature of their effort or contribution.
    
    5. Evaluation
    
        Provide a narrative addressing how you will evaluate 1) the 
    results of your project and 2) the conduct of your program. In 
    addressing the evaluation of results, state how you will determine 
    the extent to which the program has achieved its stated objectives 
    and the extent to which the accomplishment of objectives can be 
    attributed to the program. Discuss the criteria to be used to 
    evaluate results; explain the methodology that will be used to 
    determine if the needs identified and discussed are being met and if 
    the project results and benefits are being achieved. With respect to 
    the conduct of your program, define the procedures you will employ 
    to determine whether the program is being conducted in a manner 
    consistent with the work plan you presented and discuss the impact 
    of the program's various activities upon the program's 
    effectiveness.
    
    6. Geographic Location
    
        Give the precise location of the project and boundaries of the 
    area to be served by the proposed project. Maps or other graphic 
    aids may be attached.
    
    7. Additional Information (Include if applicable)
    
        Additional information may be provided in the body of the 
    program narrative or in the appendix. Refer to the program 
    announcement and ``General Information and Instructions'' for 
    guidance on placement of application materials.
        Staff and Position Data--Provide a biographical sketch for key 
    personnel appointed and a job description for each vacant key 
    position. Some programs require both for all positions. Refer to the 
    program announcement for guidance on presenting this information. 
    Generally, a biographical sketch is required for original staff and 
    new members as appointed.
        Plan for Project Continuance Beyond Grant Support--A plan for 
    securing resources and continuing project activities after Federal 
    assistance has ceased.
        Business Plan--When federal grant funds will be used to make an 
    equity investment, provide a business plan. Refer to the program 
    announcement for guidance on presenting this information.
        Organization Profiles--Information on applicant organizations 
    and their cooperating partners such as organization charts, 
    financial statements, audit reports or statements from CPA/Licensed 
    Public Accountant, Employer Identification Numbers, names of bond 
    carriers, contact persons and telephone numbers, child care licenses 
    and other documentation of professional accreditation, information 
    on compliance with federal/state/local government standards, 
    documentation of experience in program area, and other pertinent 
    information. Any non-profit organization submitting an application 
    must submit proof of its non-profit status in its application at the 
    time of submission. The non-profit agency can accomplish this by 
    providing a copy of the applicant's listing in the Internal Revenue 
    Service's (IRS) most recent list of tax-exempt organizations 
    described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code or by providing a 
    copy of the currently valid IRS tax exemption certificate, or by 
    providing a copy of the articles of incorporation bearing the seal 
    of the State in which the corporation or association is domiciled.
        Dessemination Plan--A plan for distributing reports and other 
    project outputs to colleagues and the public. Applicants must 
    provide a description of the kind, volume and timing of 
    distribution.
        Third-Party Agreements--Written agreements between grantees and 
    subgrantees or subcontractors or other cooperating entities. These 
    agreements may detail scope of work, work schedules, remuneration, 
    and other terms and conditions that structure or define the 
    relationship.
        Waiver Request--A statement of program requirements for which 
    waivers will be needed to permit the proposed project to be 
    conducted.
        Letters of Support--Statements from community, public and 
    commercial leaders which support the project proposed for funding.
    
    B. Noncompeting Continuation Applications
    
        A program narrative usually will not be required for 
    noncompeting continuation applications for nonconstruction programs. 
    Noncompeting continuation applications shall be abbreviated unless 
    the ACF Program Office administering this program has issued a 
    notice to the grantee that a full application will be required.
        An abbreviated application consists of:
        1. The Standard Form 424 series (SF 424, SF 424A, SF-424B)
        2. The estimated or actual unobligated balance remaining from 
    the previous budget period should be identified on an accurate SF-
    269 as well as in Section A, Columns (c) and (d) of the SF-424A.
        3. The grant budget, broken down into the object class 
    categories on the 424A, and if category ``other'' is used, the 
    specific items supported must be identified.
        4. Required certifications.
        A full application consists of all elements required for an 
    abbreviated application plus:
        1. Program narrative information explaining significant changes 
    to the original program narrative statement, a description of 
    accomplishments from the prior budget period, a projection of 
    accomplishments throughout the entire remaining project period, and 
    any other supplemental information that ACF informs the grantee is 
    necessary.
        2. A full budget proposal for the budget period under 
    consideration with a full cost analysis of all budget categories.
        3. A corrective action plan, if requested by ACF, to address 
    organizational performance weaknesses.
    
    C. Supplemental Requests
    
        For supplemental assistance requests, explain the reason for the 
    request and justify the need for additional funding. Provide a 
    budget and budget justification only for those items for which 
    additional funds are requested. (See Item D for guidelines on 
    preparing a budget and budget justification.)
    
    D. Budget and Budget Justification
    
        Provide line item detail and detailed calculations for each 
    budget object class identified on the Budget Information form. 
    Detailed calculations must include estimation methods, quantities, 
    unit costs, and other similar quantitative detail
    
    [[Page 9786]]
    
    sufficient for the calculation to be duplicated. The detailed budget 
    must also include a breakout by the funding sources identified in 
    Block 15 of the SF-424.
        Provide a narrative budget justification which describes how the 
    categorical costs are derived. Discuss the necessity, 
    reasonableness, and allocability of the proposed costs
        The following guidelines are for preparing the budget and budget 
    justification. Both federal and non-federal resources should be 
    detailed and justified in the budget and narrative justification. 
    For purposes of preparing the program narrative, ``federal 
    resources'' refers only to the ACF grant for which you are applying. 
    Non-Federal resources are all other federal and non-federal 
    resources. It is suggested that for the budget, applicants use a 
    column format: Column 1, object class categories; Column 2, federal 
    budget amounts; Column 3, non-federal budget amounts, and Column 4, 
    total amounts. The budget justification should be a narrative.
        Personnel. Costs of employee salaries and wages.
        Justification: Identify the project director or principal 
    investigator, if known. For each staff person, show name/title, time 
    commitment to the project (in months), time commitment to the 
    project (as a percentage or full-time equivalent), annual salary, 
    grant salary, wage rates, etc. Do not include costs of consultants 
    or personnel costs of delegate agencies or of specific project(s) or 
    businesses to be financed by the applicant.
        Fringe Benefits. Costs of employee fringe benefits unless 
    treated as part of an approved indirect cost rate.
        Justification: Provide a breakdown of amounts and percentages 
    that comprise fringe benefit costs, such as health insurance, FICA, 
    retirement insurance, taxes, etc.
        Travel. Costs of project related travel by employees of the 
    applicant organization (does not include costs of consultant 
    travel).
        Justification: For each trip, show the total number of 
    traveler(s), travel destination, duration of trip, per diem, mileage 
    allowances, if privately owned vehicles will be used, and other 
    transportation costs and subsistence allowances. Travel costs for 
    key staff to attend ACF sponsored workshops as specified in this 
    program announcement should be detailed in the budget.
        Equipment. Costs of all non-expendable, tangible personal 
    property to be acquired by the project where each article has a 
    useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost which 
    equals the lesser of (a) the capitalization level established by the 
    applicant organization for financial statement purposes, or (b) 
    $5000.
        Justification: For each type of equipment requested, provide a 
    description of the equipment, cost per unit, number of units, total 
    cost, and a plan for use on the project, as well as use or disposal 
    of the equipment after the project ends.
        Supplies. Costs of all tangible personal property (supplies) 
    other than that included under the Equipment category.
        Justification: Specify general categories of supplies and their 
    costs. Show computations and provide other information which 
    supports the amount requested.
        Contractual. Costs of all contracts for services and goods 
    except for those which belong under other categories such as 
    equipment, supplies, construction, etc. Third-party evaluation 
    contracts (if applicable) and contracts with secondary recipient 
    organizations including delegate agencies and specific project(s) or 
    businesses to be financed by the applicant should be included under 
    this category.
        Justification: All procurement transactions shall be conducted 
    in a manner to provide, to the maximum extent practical, open and 
    free competition. If procurement competitions were held or if a sole 
    source procurement is being proposed, attach a list of proposed 
    contractors, indicating the names of the organizations, the purposes 
    of the contracts, the estimated dollar amounts, and the award 
    selection process. Also provide back-up documentation where 
    necessary to support selection process.
    
        Note: Whenever the applicant/grantee intends to delegate part of 
    the program to another agency, the applicant/grantee must provide a 
    detailed budget and budget narrative for each delegate agency by 
    agency title, along with the required supporting information 
    referenced in these instructions.
    
        Applicants must identify and justify any anticipated procurement 
    that is expected to exceed the simplified purchase threshold 
    (currently set at $100,000) and to be awarded without competition. 
    Recipients are required to make available to ACF pre-award review 
    and procurement documents, such as request for proposals or 
    invitations for bids, independent cost estimates, etc. under the 
    conditions identified at 45 CFR Part 74.44(e).
        Construction. Costs of construction by applicant or contractor.
        Justication: Provide detailed budget and narrative in accordance 
    with instructions for other object class categories. Identity which 
    construction activity/costs will be contractual and which will 
    assumed by the applicant.
        Other. Enter the total of all other costs. Such costs, where 
    applicable and appropriate, may include but are not limited to 
    insurance, food, medical and dental costs (noncontractual), fees and 
    travel paid directly to individual consultants, space and equipment 
    rentals, printing and publication, computer use, training costs, 
    including tuition and stipends, training service costs including 
    wage payments to individuals and supportive service payments, and 
    staff development costs.
        Indirect Charges. Total amount of indirect costs. This category 
    should be used only when the applicant currently has an indirect 
    cost rate approved by the Department of Health and Human Services or 
    another cognizant Federal agency.
        Justification: With the exception of most local government 
    agencies, an applicant which will charge indirect costs to the grant 
    must enclose a copy of the current rate agreement if the agreement 
    was negotiated with a cognizant Federal agency other than the 
    Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). If the rate 
    agreement was negotiated with the Department of Health and Human 
    Services, the applicant should state this in the budget 
    justification. If the applicant organization is in the process of 
    initially developing or renegotiating a rate, it should immediately 
    upon notification that an award will be made, develop a tentative 
    indirect cost rate proposal based on its most recently completed 
    fiscal year in accordance with the principles set forth in the 
    pertinent DHHS Guide for Establishing Indirect Cost Rates, and 
    submit it to the appropriate DHHS Regional Office. Applicants 
    awaiting approval of their indirect cost proposals may also request 
    indirect costs. It should be noted that when an indirect cost rate 
    is requested, those costs included in the indirect costs pool should 
    not be also charged as direct costs to the grant. Also, if the 
    applicant is requesting a rate which is less than what is allowed 
    under this program announcement, the authorized representative of 
    your organization needs to submit a signed acknowledgement that the 
    applicant is accepting a lower rate than allowed.
        Program Income. The estimated amount of income, if any, expected 
    to be generated from this project. Separately show expected program 
    income generated from program support and income generated from 
    other mobilized funds. Do not add or subtract this amount from the 
    budget total. Show the nature and source of income in the program 
    narrative statement.
        Justification: Describe the nature, source and anticipated use 
    of program income in the budget or reference pages in the program 
    narrative statement which contain this information.
        Non-Federal Resources. Amounts of non-Federal resources that 
    will be used to support the project as identified in Block 15 of the 
    SF-424.
        Justificaiton: The firm commitment of these resources must be 
    documented and submitted with the application in order to be given 
    credit in the review process.
        Total Direct Charges, Total Indirect Charges, Total Project 
    Costs. (self explanatory)

    Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility 
    Matters--Primary Covered Transactions
    
    Instructions for Certification
    
        1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective 
    primary participant is providing the certification set out below.
        2. The inability of a person to provide the certification 
    required below will not necessarily result in denial of 
    participation in this covered transaction. The prospective 
    participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the 
    certification set out below. The certification or explanation will 
    be considered in connection with the department or agency's 
    determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, 
    failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a 
    certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from 
    participation in this transaction.
        3. The certification in this clause is a material representation 
    of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency 
    determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined 
    that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an 
    erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to 
    the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this 
    transaction for cause or default.
        4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate 
    written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is 
    submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns 
    that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become 
    erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
        5. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, 
    ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, 
    primary covered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily 
    excluded, as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the 
    Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing 
    Executive Order 12549. You may contact the department or agency to 
    which this proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a 
    copy of those regulations.
        6. The prospective primary participant agrees by submitting this 
    proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered 
    into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered 
    transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR 
    part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or 
    voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, 
    unless authorized by the department or agency entering into this 
    transaction.
        7. The prospective primary participant further agrees by 
    submitting this proposal that it will include the clause titled 
    ``Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and 
    Voluntary Exclusion--Lower Tier Covered Transaction,'' providing by 
    the department or agency entering into this covered transaction, 
    without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in 
    all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.
        8. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a 
    certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered 
    transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 
    9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily 
    excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the 
    certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and 
    frequency by which is determines the eligibility of its principals. 
    Each participant may, but is not required to, check the List of 
    Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement 
    Programs.
        9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to 
    require establishment of a system of records in order to render in 
    good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge 
    and information of a participant is not required to exceed that 
    which is normally processed by a prudent person in the ordinary 
    course of business dealings.
        10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of 
    these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction 
    knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person 
    who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, 
    suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from 
    participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies 
    available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may 
    terminate this transaction for cause or default.

    Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and 
    Voluntary Exclusion--Lower Tier Covered Transactions
    
    Instructions for Certification
    
        1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective 
    lower tier participant is providing the certification set out below.
        2. The certification in this clause is a material representation 
    of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was 
    entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower 
    tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in 
    addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government the 
    department or agency with which this transaction originated may 
    pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
        3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide 
    immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is 
    submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant 
    learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or had 
    become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
        4. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, 
    ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, 
    primary covered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily 
    excluded, as used in this clause, have the meaning set out in the 
    Definitions and Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive 
    Order 12549. You may contact the person to which this proposal is 
    submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.
        5. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting 
    this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be 
    entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier 
    covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment 
    under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, declared 
    ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this 
    covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency 
    with which this transaction originated.
        6. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by 
    submitting this proposal that it will include this clause titled 
    ``Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and 
    Voluntary Exclusion--Lower Tier Covered Transaction,'' without 
    modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all 
    solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.
        7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a 
    certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered 
    transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 
    9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily 
    excluded from covered transactions, unless it knows that the 
    certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and 
    frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. 
    Each participant may, but is not required to,
    
    [[Page 9790]]
    
    check the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and 
    Nonprocurement Programs.
        8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to 
    require establishment of a system of records in order to render in 
    good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge 
    and information of a participant is not required to exceed that 
    which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary 
    course of business dealings.
        9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 5 of these 
    instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly 
    enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is 
    proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, 
    debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in 
    this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the 
    Federal Government, the department or agency with which this 
    transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including 
    suspension and/or debarment.

    Certification Regarding Environmental Tobacco Smoke
    
        Public Law 103-227, Part C--Environmental Tobacco Smoke, also 
    known as the Pro-Children Act of 1994 (Act), requires that smoking 
    not be permitted in any portion of any indoor routinely owned or 
    leased or contracted for by an entity and used routinely or 
    regularly for provision of health, day care, education, or library 
    services to children under the age of 18, if the services are funded 
    by Federal programs either directly or through State or local 
    governments, by Federal grant, contract, loan, or loan guarantee. 
    The law does not apply to children's services provided in private 
    residences, facilities funded solely by Medicare or Medicaid funds, 
    and portions of facilities used for inpatient drug or alcohol 
    treatment. Failure to comply with the provisions of the law may 
    result in the imposition of a civil monetary penalty of up to $1000 
    per day and/or the imposition of an administrative compliance order 
    on the responsible entity.
        By signing and submitting this application the applicant/grantee 
    certifies that it will comply with the requirements of the Act. The 
    applicant/grantee further agrees that it will require the language 
    of this certification be included in any subawards which contain 
    provisions for the children's services and that all subgrantees 
    shall certify accordingly.
