DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families

 

Program Announcement No. 93612-952, Availability of Financial 
Assistance for the Mitigation of Environmental Impacts to Indian Lands 
Due to Department of Defense Activities

AGENCY: Administration for Native Americans, Administration for 
Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Announcement of availability of competitive financial 
assistance to assist eligible applicants address environmental problems 
and impacts from Department of Defense activities to Indian lands.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DEFINITION: For purposes of this program announcement, Indian lands is 
defined as all lands used by American Indian tribes and Alaska Native 
Villages.

SUMMARY: The Congress has recognized that Department of Defense 
activities may have caused environmental problems for Indian tribes and 
Alaska Natives. These environmental hazards can negatively impact the 
health and safety as well as their social and economic welfare. 
Accordingly, the Congress has taken steps to help those affected begin 
to mitigate environmental impacts from Department of Defense activities 
by assisting them in the planning, development and implementation of 
programs for such mitigation.
    This environmental mitigation program was begun through a program 
announcement published on December 29, 1993 as a response to the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, Public Law 103-139, which was 
enacted on November 11, 1993. This program continues under Public Law 
103-335 (the Act), enacted on September 30, 1994. Section 8094 of the 
Act states, ``Of the funds appropriated to the Department of Defense 
(DOD) for Operations and Maintenance Defense--Wide, not less than 
$8,000,000 shall be made available until expended to the Administration 
for Native Americans within 90 days of enactment of this Act: Provided 
That such funds shall be made available only for the mitigation of 
environmental impacts, including training and technical assistance to 
tribes, related administrative support, the gathering of information, 
documenting of environmental damage, and developing a system for 
prioritizing of mitigation, on Indian lands resulting from Department 
of Defense activities: Provided further, That the Department of Defense 
shall provide to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and 
House of Representatives by September 30, 1995, a summary report of all 
environmental damage that has occurred on Indian land as a result of 
DOD activities, to include, to the extent feasible, a list of all 
documents and records known to the Department that describe the 
activity or action causing or relating to such environmental damage.'' 
The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) and the Department of 
Defense (DOD) announce the availability of FY95 funds for eligible 
applicants to begin the process of addressing the environmental 
problems and damage caused from defense activities.

LeBeau--(202) 690-5790 or Gerry Gipp--(202) 690-6662 at the 
Administration for Native Americans, Department of Health and Human 
Services, 200 Independence Avenue, SW., Rm 348F, Washington, DC 20201-
0001.

DATES: The closing date for submission of applications is August 18, 
1995.

A. Introduction and Purpose

    The program announcement states the availability of any unobligated 
fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995 financial assistance to eligible 
applicants using funds provided by the Department of Defense through 
the Administration for Native Americans for the purpose of mitigating 
environmental impacts on Indian lands related to Department of Defense 
activities.
    Financial assistance awards made under this program announcement 
will be on a competitive basis and the proposals will be reviewed 
against the evaluation criteria in this announcement.
    The Federal government recognizes that substantial environmental 
problems, resultant from defense activities, exist on Indian lands and 
will geographically range from border to border and from coast to 
coast. The nature and magnitude of the problems will most likely be 
better defined when affected Indian tribes and Alaska Natives have 
completed environmental assessments called for in Phase I of this four-
phase program.
    The Federal government has also recognized that Indian tribes, 
Alaska Natives and their tribal organizations must have the opportunity 
to develop their own plans and technical capabilities and access the 
necessary financial and technical resources in order to assess, plan, 
develop and implement programs to mitigate any impacts caused by 
Department of Defense activities.
    The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) and the Department of 
Defense (DOD) recognize the potential environmental problems created by 
DOD activities that may affect air, water, soil and human and natural 
resources (i.e., forests, fish, plants). It is also recognized that 
potential applicants may have specialized knowledge and capabilities to 
address specific concerns at various levels within the four phase 
program. Under this announcement proposals will be accepted for any and 
all of the four phases or one specific phase. These phases are: Phase 
I--assessment of Indian lands to develop as complete an inventory as 
possible of environmental impacts caused by Department of Defense 
activities; Phase II--identification and exploration of alternative 
means for mitigation of these impacts and determination of the 
technical merit, feasibility and expected costs and benefits of each 
approach in order to select one approach; Phase III--development of a 
detailed mitigation plan, and costing and scheduling for implementation 
of the design, including strategies for meeting statutory or regulatory 
requirements and for dealing with other appropriate Federal agencies; 
and, Phase IV--implementation of the mitigation plan.
    The following are some known areas of concern. It is expected that 
applicants may identify additional areas of concern in their 
applications:
     damage to treaty protected spawning habitats caused by 
artillery practice or other defense activities;
     damage to Indian lands and improvements (e.g. wells, 
fences) and facilities caused by bombing practice;
     damage caused to range and forest lands by gunnery range 
activities;
     low-level flights over sacred sites and religious 
ceremonies which disrupt spiritual activities;
     movement of soil covering the remains of buried Indian 
people and artifacts requiring, by tradition, their reburial in 
traditional rituals;
     operation of dams by the Army Corps of Engineers which has 
had adverse impacts on spawning beds and treaty fishing rights and 
water quality due to problems of siltation; reduced stream flows; 
increased water temperatures; and, dredge and fill problems;
     leaking of underground storage tanks on lands taken from 
Indians for temporary war-time use by the Department of Defense;
     unexploded ordnance from gunnery and bombing practice on 
Indian lands resulting in significant damage to rangelands, wildlife 
habitat, stock water wells, etc.;
     disposal activities related to removal of unexploded 
ordnance, nuclear waste materials, toxic materials, and biological 
warfare materials from Indian lands;
     transportation of live ordnance, nuclear waste, chemical 
and biological warfare materials from and across Indian lands;
     seepage of fluids suspected of containing toxic materials 
onto Indian lands;
     chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) resulting from abandoned 
containers and/or dumping onto Indian lands;
     polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) from transformers which 
have been abandoned and/or dumped onto Indian lands;
     public health concerns regarding electromagnetic fields 
surrounding Defense-related transmission facilities which cross Indian 
lands; and
     reclamation activities required to mitigate any or all of 
the above stated conditions and other activities as they become known.

B. Proposed Projects To Be Funded With FY 1994 and 1995 Funds

    The purpose of this announcement is to invite single year (up to 
seventeen months in duration) or up to thirty-six month proposals from 
eligible applicants to undertake any or all of the Phases.
    Applicants may apply for projects of up to 36 months duration. A 
multi-year project, requiring more than 12 months to develop and 
complete, affords applicants the opportunity to develop more complex 
and in-depth projects. Funding after the first 12 month budget period 
of an approved multi-year project is non-competitive and subject to 
availability of funds. (see Part E for further information)
    Phase I: The purpose of Phase I is to conduct the research and 
planning needed to identify environmental impacts to Indian lands 
caused by Department of Defense activities on or near Indian lands and 
to plan for remedial investigations to determine and carry out a 
preliminary assessment of these problems. These activities may include, 
but not be limited to, the following:
     conduct site inspections to identify problems and causes 
related to DOD activities;
     identify and develop approaches to handle raw data that 
will assist in performing comprehensive environmental assessments of 
problems and causes related to DOD activities;
     identify approaches and develop methodologies which will 
be used to develop the activities to be undertaken in Phases II and 
III;
     identify other Federal agency programs, if any, that must 
be involved in mitigation activities and their requirements;
     identify potential technical assistance and expertise 
required to address the activities to be undertaken in Phases II and 
III; and
     identify other Federal environmental restoration programs 
that could be accessed to cooperatively coordinate and mobilize 
resources in addressing short and long-term activities developed under 
Phase III.
    Phase I should result in adequately detailed documentation of the 
problems and sources of help in solving them to provide a useful basis 
for examining alternative mitigation approaches in Phase II.
    Phase II: The purpose of Phase II activities is to examine 
alternative approaches for mitigation of the impacts identified in 
Phase I and to lead toward the mitigation design to be developed in 
Phase III. Phase II activities may include, but need not be limited to 
the following:
     conduct remedial investigation and/or feasibility studies 
as necessary;
     plan for the design of a comprehensive mitigation strategy 
to address problems identified during Phase I which address areas such 
as land use restoration, clean-up processes, contracting and liability 
concerns; regulatory responsibilities; and resources necessary to 
implement clean up actions;
     design strategies that coordinate with or are 
complementary to existing DOD cleanup programs such as the Defense 
Environmental Restoration Program which promotes and coordinates 
efforts for the evaluation and cleanup of contamination at DOD 
installations;
     review possible interim remedial strategies that address 
immediate potential hazards to the public health and environment in 
order to provide alternative measures i.e., providing alternate water 
supplies, removing concentrated sources of contaminants, or 
constructing structures to prevent the spread of contamination;
     identify specific types of technical assistance and 
management expertise required to assist in developing specific 
protocols for environmental assessments, remedial investigations, 
feasibility studies, interim remedial actions and strategic planning 
for existing and future mitigation activities;
     review other types of assessments that need to be 
considered, reviewed and incorporated into the conduct and/or design 
process such as:

--estimates of clean-up cost;
--estimate of impacts of short-term approach;
--estimate of impacts of long-term approach;
--cultural impacts;
--economic impacts;
--human health-risk impacts; and

     document approaches and procedures which have been 
developed in order to negotiate with appropriate Federal agencies for 
necessary cleanup action and to keep the public informed.
    In establishing the basis for a design process, particularly when 
there are multiple problems, the applicants may want to consider a 
prioritization process as follows:
     emergency situations that require immediate clean-up;
     time-critical sites, i.e. sites where the situation will 
deteriorate if action is not taken soon;
     projects with minimum funding requirements;
     projects with intermediate-level funding requirements;
     projects with maximum funding requirements.
    Achieving compliance with Federal environmental protection 
legislation is the driving force behind all Federal clean-up 
activities. The following is a list of major Federal environmental 
legislation that should be recognized in a regulatory review as all 
Federal, state and local regulatory requirements which could have major 
impacts in the design of mitigation strategies:
     Indian Environmental General Assistance Program Act of 
1992;
     Clean Air Act (CAA);
     Clean Water Act (CWA);
     Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA);
     Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 
(SMCRA);
     Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 
(MPRSA);
     Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA);
     Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(FIFRA);
     Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA);
     Comprehensive Environmental Resource Conservation and 
Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund);
     Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA);
     Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA);
     National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA);
    Other Federal legislation that should be included in the regulatory 
review and that should be of assistance are the tribal specific 
legislative acts, such as:
     American Indian Religious Freedom Act;
     National Historic Preservation Act of 1991;
     Indian Environmental Regulatory Enhancement Act of 1990;
    Other regulatory considerations could involve applicable tribal, 
village, state and local laws, codes, ordinances, standards, etc. which 
should also be reviewed to assist in planning, the mitigation design, 
and development of the comprehensive mitigation strategy.
    Phase II should result in a carefully documented examination of 
alternative approaches and the selection of an approach to be used in 
the Phase III design process.
    Phase III: The purpose of Phase III is the completion of activities 
initiated under Phase II, the initiation of new activities required to 
implement programs, and the design of on-site actions required to 
mitigate environmental damage from DOD activities.
    The Phase III activities may include but need not be limited to:
     development and implementation of a detailed management 
plan to: guide corrective action; resolve issues rising from 
overlapping or conflicting jurisdictions; guide a cooperative and 
collaborative effort among all parties to ensure there are no 
duplicative or conflicting regulatory requirements governing the 
cleanup actions; and, establish a tribal or village framework and/or 
parameter(s) that will guide the negotiations process for one or 
multiple cleanup actions;
     establishment of priorities for mitigation programs when 
there are multiple clean-up sites; consider at a minimum the nature of 
the hazard involved: such as its physical and chemical characteristics, 
including concentrations and mobility of contaminants; the pathway 
indicating potential for contaminant transport via surface water, 
ground water and air/soil, and any other indicators that are identified 
during the environmental assessment, including the prioritization 
process identified under Phase II;
     program design and implementation of information 
dissemination strategies prior to start up of on-site implementation of 
mitigation program activities;
     development of a legal and jurisdictional strategy that 
addresses DOD/contractor liability issues to ensure quality, cost-
effective mitigation services, and to evaluate any measures providing 
equitable risk between the DOD and the remediation contractor, as well 
as to incorporate Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) and other 
policies and procedures, if required;
     design of an approval process and other processes 
necessary for the implementation of tribal and village codes and 
regulations for current and future compliance enforcement of all 
mitigation actions;
     development/design of a documentation strategy to ensure 
all DOD and contractor cleanup activities are conducted and completed 
in a environmentally clean and safe manner for the social and economic 
welfare, as well as public health of Indian and Alaska Native people 
and the surrounding environment;
     development and conduct of certified training programs 
that will enable a local work force to become technically capable to 
participate in the mitigation activities, if they so choose; and
     conduct of any other activities deemed necessary to carry 
out Phase I, II and III activities.
    Phase III should result in a comprehensive plan for conducting all 
aspects of mitigation action contemplated.
    Phase IV: The Phase IV activities are the implementation of 
mitigation plans specified in the detailed plan completed in Phase III.

C. Eligible Applicants

    The following organizations are eligible to apply:
     Federally recognized Indian tribes;
     Incorporated Non-Federally and State recognized Indian 
tribes;
     Alaska Native villages, tribes or tribal governing bodies 
(IRA or traditional councils) as recognized by the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs in the Federal Register Notice dated October 21, 1993;
     nonprofit Alaska Native Regional Associations and/or 
Corporations with village specific projects;
     nonprofit Native organizations in Alaska with village 
specific projects;
     other tribal or village organizations or consortia of 
Indian tribes.
    In addition, current ANA grantees who meet the above eligibility 
criteria, but do not have a mitigation grant under Program Announcement 
93612-943 are also eligible to apply for a grant award under this 
program announcement.

D. Available Funds

    Subject to availability of funds, approximately $8 million of 
financial assistance is available in FY 1995 under this program 
announcement for eligible applicants. Any unobligated FY1994 funds 
would also be available for this purpose. It is expected that about 17 
awards will be made, ranging from $100 thousand to $1 million.
    Each eligible applicant described above (Part C) can receive only 
one grant award under this announcement.

E. Multi-Year Projects

    This announcement is soliciting applications for project periods up 
to 36 months. Awards, on a competitive basis, will be for a one-year 
budget period, although project periods may be as long as 36 months. 
Funding after the 12 month budget period of an approved multi-year 
project is non-competitive. The non-competitive funding for the second 
and third years is contingent upon the grantee's satisfactory progress 
in achieving the objectives of the project according to the approved 
work plan, the availability of Federal funds, compliance with the 
applicable statutory, regulatory and grant requirements, and 
determination that continued funding is in the best interest of the 
Government.

F. Grantee Share of Project

    Grantees must provide at least five (5) percent of the total 
approved cost of the project. The total approved cost of the project is 
the sum of the Federal share and the non-Federal share. The non-Federal 
share may be met by cash or in-kind contributions, although applicants 
are encouraged to meet their match requirements through cash 
contributions. The funds for the match must be from a private source, 
or state source where the funds were not obtained from the Federal 
government by the state, or a Federal source where legislation or 
regulation authorizes the use of these funds for matching purposes. 
Therefore, a project requesting $300,000 in Federal funds (based on an 
award of $100,000 per budget period), must include a match of at least 
$15,789 (5% total project cost). Applicants may request a waiver of the 
requirement for a 5% non-Federal matching share. Since the matching 
requirement is very low it is not expected that waivers will be 
requested. However, the procedure for requesting a waiver can be found 
in 45 CFR 1336, Subpart E--Financial Assistance Provisions.
    It is the policy of ANA to apply the waiver of the non-Federal 
matching share requirement for the purposes of this particular program 
announcement.

G. Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs

    This program is not covered by Executive Order 12372.

otherwise conform to this announcement will not be accepted for review. 
Applicants will be notified in writing of any such determination by 
ANA.
     Complete applications that conform to all the requirements 
of this program announcement are subjected to a competitive review and 
evaluation process. An independent review panel consisting of reviewers 
familiar with environmental problems of Indian tribes and Alaska Native 
villages will evaluate each application against the published criteria 
in this announcement. The results of this review will assist the 
Commissioner in making final funding decisions.
     The Commissioner's decision will also take into account 
the comments of ANA staff, state and Federal agencies having 
performance related information, and other interested parties.
     As a matter of policy the Commissioner will make grant 
awards consistent with the stated purpose of this announcement and all 
relevant statutory and regulatory requirements under 45 C.F.R. Parts 74 
and 92 applicable to grants under this announcement.
     After the Commissioner has made decisions on all 
applications, unsuccessful applicants will be notified in writing 
within approximately 120 days of the closing date. Successful 
applicants are notified through an official Financial Assistance Award 
(FAA) document. The Administration for Native Americans staff cannot 
respond to requests for funding decisions prior to the official 
notification to the applicants. The FAA will state the amount of 
Federal funds awarded, the purpose of the grant, the terms and 
conditions of the grant award, the effective date of the award, the 
project period, the budget period, and the amount of the non-Federal 
matching share requirement.

I. Review Process and Criteria

    Applications submitted by the post-marked date under this program 
announcement will undergo a pre-review to determine that:
     The applicant is eligible in accordance with the Eligible 
Applicants Section of this announcement.
     The application materials submitted are sufficient to 
allow the panel to undertake an in-depth evaluation (All required 
materials and forms are listed in the Grant Application Checklist.)
    Applications which pass the pre-review will be evaluated and rated 
by an independent review panel on the basis of the evaluation criteria. 
These criteria are used to evaluate the quality of a proposed project, 
and to determine the likelihood of its success. A proposed project 
should reflect the purposes stated and described in the Introduction 
and Program Purpose (Section A) of this announcement. No additional 
weight or preference is given to applications because of an increased 
number of phases proposed. Also, competition is not based on proposals 
of the same phase or phases but on the merit of the application 
independent of phase consideration. The evaluation criteria are:
    (1) Goals and Available Resources (15 points):
    (a) The application presents specific mitigation goals related to 
the proposed project. It explains how the tribe or village intend to 
achieve those goals identified in the application and clearly documents 
the involvement and support of the community in the planning process 
and implementation of the proposed project.
    The above requirement can be met by the tribe or tribal 
organization through submission of a resolution that states that 
community involvement has occurred in the project planning and will 
occur in the implementation of the proposed project.
    (b) Available resources (other than ANA) which will assist and be 
coordinated with the project are described. These resources may be 
personnel, facilities, vehicles or financial and may include other 
Federal and non-Federal resources.
    (2) Organizational Capabilities and Qualifications (10 points):
    (a) The management and administrative structure of the applicant is 
explained. Evidence of the applicant's ability to manage a project of 
the proposed scope is well defined. The application clearly 
demonstrates the successful management of prior or current projects of 
similar scope by the organization and/or by the individuals designated 
to manage the project.
    (b) Position descriptions or resumes of key personnel, including 
those of consultants, are presented. The position descriptions and 
resumes relate specifically to the staff proposed in the Approach Page 
and in the proposed Budget of the application. Position descriptions 
very clearly describe the position and its duties and clearly relate to 
the personnel staffing required for implementation of the project 
activities. Either the position descriptions or the resumes present the 
qualifications that the applicant believes are necessary for overall 
quality management of the project.
    (3) Project Objectives, Approach and Activities (45 points). The 
Objective Work Plan in the application includes project objectives and 
activities related to the long term goals for each budget period 
proposed and demonstrates that these objectives and activities:
     are measurable and/or quantifiable;
     are based on a fully described and locally determined 
balanced strategy for mitigation of impacts to the environment;
     clearly relate to the tribe or village long-range goals 
which the project addresses;
     can be accomplished with available or expected resources 
during the proposed project period;
     indicate when the objective, and major activities under 
each objective will be accomplished;
     specify who will conduct the activities under each 
objective; and
     support a project that will be completed, self-sustaining, 
or financed by other than ANA funds at the end of the project period.
    (4) Results or Benefits Expected (20 points). The proposed project 
will result in specific measurable outcomes for each objective that 
will clearly contribute to the completion of the project and will help 
the tribe or village meet its goals. The specific information provided 
in the application on expected results or benefits for each objective 
is the basis upon which the outcomes can be evaluated at the end of 
each budget year.
    (5) Budget (10 points). There is a detailed budget provided for 
each budget period requested. (This is especially necessary for multi-
year applications.) The budget is fully explained. It justifies each 
line item in the budget categories in Section B of the Budget 
Information of the application, including the applicant's non-Federal 
share and its source. Sufficient cost and other detail is included and 
explained to facilitate the determination of cost allowability and the 
relevance of these costs to the proposed project. The funds requested 
are appropriate and necessary for the scope of the project.

J. Guidance to Applicants

    The following is provided to assist applicants to develop a 
competitive application.
    (1) Program Guidance:
     The Administration for Native Americans will fund projects 
that present the strongest prospects for meeting the stated purposes of 
this program announcement. Projects will not be funded on the basis of 
need alone.
     In discussing the problems being addressed in the 
application, relevant historical data should be included so that the 
appropriateness and potential benefits of the proposed project will be 
better understood by the reviewers and decision-maker.
     Supporting documentation, if available, should be included 
to provide the reviewers and decision-maker with other relevant data to 
better understand the scope and magnitude of the project.
     The applicant should provide documentation showing support 
for the proposed project from authorized officials, board of directors 
and/or officers through a letter of support or resolution. It would be 
helpful, particularly for organizations, to delineate the membership, 
make-up of the board of directors, and its elective procedures to 
assist reviewers in determining authorized support.
    (2) Technical Guidance.
     Applicants are strongly encouraged to have someone other 
than the author apply the evaluation criteria in the program 
announcement and to score the application prior to its submission, in 
order to gain a better sense of its quality and potential 
competitiveness in the review process.
     ANA will accept only one application under this program 
announcement from any one applicant. If an eligible applicant sends two 
applications, the one with the earlier postmark will be accepted for 
review unless the applicant withdraws the earlier application.
     An application from an Indian tribe, Alaska Native Village 
or other eligible organization must be submitted by the governing body 
of the applicant.
     The application's Form 424 must be signed by the 
applicant's representative (tribal official or designate) who can act 
with full authority on behalf of the applicant.
     The Administration for Native Americans suggests that the 
pages of the application be numbered sequentially from the first page 
and that a table of contents be provided. The page numbering, along 
with simple tabbing of the sections, would be helpful and allows easy 
reference during the review process.
     Two (2) copies of the application plus the original are 
required.
     The Cover Page should be the first page of an application, 
followed by the one-page abstract.
     Section B of the Program Narrative should be of sufficient 
detail as to become a guide in determining and tracking project goals 
and objectives.
     The applicant should specify the entire length of the 
project period on the first page of the Form 424, Block 13, not the 
length of the first budget period. ANA will consider the project period 
specified on the Form 424 as governing.
     Line 15a of the Form 424 should specify the Federal funds 
requested for the first Budget period, not the entire project period.
     Applicants proposing multi-year projects need to describe 
and submit project objective workplans and activities for each budget 
period. (Separate itemized budgets for the Federal and non-Federal 
costs should be included)
     Applicants for multi-year projects must justify the entire

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 exiting 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 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 the columns (e) and 
(f) the amounts of funds needed for the upcoming period. The 
amounts(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 amounts(s) in Column (g) should not equal the 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.

the amounts in Section A, Columns (e) and (f) on Line 5.
