SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Part I. General Information
A. Background
Head Start is a national program providing comprehensive
developmental services primarily to low-income preschool children and
their families. To help enrolled children achieve their full potential,
Head Start programs provide comprehensive health, nutritional,
educational, social and other services. In addition, Head Start
programs are required to provide for the direct participation of the
parents of enrolled children in the development, conduct, and direction
of local programs. Head Start currently serves more than 750,000
children through a network of 1440 grantees and more than 700 delegate
agencies.
While Head Start is targeted primarily towards children whose
families have incomes at or below the poverty line or who are eligible
for public assistance, regulations permit up to ten percent of the Head
Start children in local programs to be from families who do not meet
these low-income criteria. The Head Start statute also requires that a
minimum of ten percent of enrollment opportunities in each program be
made available to children with disabilities. Such children are
expected to be enrolled in the full range of Head Start services and
activities in a mainstream setting with their non-disabled peers, and
to receive needed special education and related services.
Head Start programs are locally-designed to provide services
through a variety of program options, based on the needs of local
families that are not being met by existing early childhood and child
care agencies and programs. Program options include part-day/part-year
and full-day/full year center-based programs, home-based programs,
combinations of center-and home-based options and other locally-
designed options.
Migrant Head Start
Migrant Head Start Programs are designed to meet the needs of the
children of migrant farmworkers. For purposes of establishing
eligibility for Migrant Head Start services, a migrant family is
defined as follows:
A family with preschool children who change their residence by
moving from one geographic location to another, either intrastate or
interstate, within the past 24 months, for the purpose of engaging in
agricultural work that involves the production and harvesting of tree
and field crops and whose family income comes primarily from this
activity. (Please note that, although Head Start regulations in 45 CFR
1305.2 cite a 12 month period in which families are to have relocated,
this has been superceded by a provision in the
[[Page 26526]]
Head Start Act that allows a 24 month period.)
In addition to providing the comprehensive child development
services that all Head Start programs provide, Migrant Head Start
programs typically operate for extended hours (8 to 12 hours per day),
depending on the parents' work schedules and may serve children five to
seven days per week. Migrant programs also typically provide child
development and child care services to infants, toddlers and preschool-
aged children.
Statutory and Regulatory Authority
The Head Start program is authorized by the Head Start Act, 42
U.S.C. 9801 et seq., as amended.
The relevant regulations are:
45 CFR part 1301, Head Start Grants Administration.
45 CFR part 1302, Head Start Policies and Procedures for Selection,
Initial Funding and Refunding of Head Start Grantees, and for Selection
of Replacement Grantees.
45 CFR 1303, Appeal Procedures for Head Start Grantees and Current or
Prospective Delegate Agencies.
45 CFR part 1304, Program Performance Standards for Operation of Head
Start Programs by Grantees and Delegate Agencies.
45 CFR part 1305, Eligibility, Recruitment, Selection, Enrollment and
Attendance in Head Start.
45 CFR part 1306, Head Start Staffing Requirements and Program Options.
45 CFR part 1308, Head Start Program Performance Standards on Services
for Children with Disabilities.
45 CFR part 74, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Awards and
Subawards to Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, Other
Nonprofit Organizations, and Commercial Organizations; and Certain
Grants and Agreements with States, Local Governments and Indian Tribal
Governments and 45 CFR Part 92, Uniform Administrative Requirements for
Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments.
Note: On November 5, 1996 a final rule for the revised Head
Start Program Performance Standards (45 CFR 1304) was published in
the Federal Register, (61 FR 57186). The effective date for these
regulations is January 1, 1998. Since the bulk of services funded
through awards under this announcement will take place following
January 1998, applications must provide evidence of the applicant's
knowledge of and capacity to meet Head Start regulations, including
the requirements of the revised 45 CFR part 1304.
B. Program Purpose
This announcement solicits applications from eligible applicants
that wish to compete for Head Start grants to serve low-income
preschool children in areas not currently served by Head Start
grantees.
The Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) is also
providing funding to expand Head Start services through two other
national competitions. A Head Start Bureau Program Instruction No. 97-
01, issued on March 12, 1997 announced the availability of
approximately $200,598,000 to increase enrollment in geographical areas
currently served by Head Start grantees. In addition, Program
Announcement ACYF-HS-93600-07-03, published in the Federal Register
Vol. 62, No. 74 (April 17, 1997) describes a competition for
approximately $25,800,000 to expand services to children under age
three and pregnant women in low-income families through funding
additional Early Head Start programs.
Full-Day Services
This funding opportunity to expand Head Start to previously
unserved communities, families and children coincides with a growing
need by low-income families for full-day/full-year forms of early
childhood programs. An increasing proportion of Head Start families are
working, and many Head Start families who receive public assistance are
participating in welfare reform initiatives designed by State
governments in response to the newly enacted Temporary Assistance to
Needy Families program.
Accordingly, applicants under this announcement are urged to give
special consideration to assessing the impacts of employment patterns
and welfare reform on needs for Head Start services and to consider
creating full-day/full-year service strategies. Applicants are also
urged to consider combining Head Start expansion funds with other child
care and early childhood funding sources and to delivering services
through partnerships with other community-based child care and early
child centers, providers, and funding sources.
C. Eligible Applicants
Expansion applications under this announcement should be submitted
under one of the following four categories:
Category 1, for Head Start-eligible children living in geographical
areas that are not currently served by Head Start. A list of unserved
areas is included in Appendix B.
Eligible applicants are local public or private non-profit agencies
that wish to initiate a new Head Start program in one or more unserved
geographical areas. Successful applicants that are local Head Start
grantees from nearby communities that expand their programs into
unserved geographical areas would receive an increase in their current
grant rather than a new separate grant.
Category 2, for Head Start-eligible children living on or near
Federally-recognized Indian reservations where a Head Start program
does not currently operate.
Eligible applicants are the Tribal governments of unserved
reservations that wish to initiate a Head Start program or agencies
designated by these Tribal governments.
Category 3, for Head Start-eligible children of migrant farmworkers
in geographical areas that are not currently served by a Migrant Head
Start program. (Any geographical area not listed in Appendix C. is
considered unserved.)
Eligible applicants are local public or private non-profit
agencies, including current Migrant Head Start and Head Start grantees.
Sub-Category 3.A, A special Sub-Category 3.A. has been established
to select one or more agencies to operate a program for the children of
migrant farmworkers in Kern County, CA. For a number of years a Migrant
Head Start program has existed in this area. The previous grantee
agency is no longer operating this program and we wish to select a
replacement grantee to continue providing Migrant Head Start services
in this community. Arrangements are being made for an interim grantee
to continue operating the program on a temporary basis until a
permanent grantee can be selected through this competitive
announcement.
Eligible applicants are local public or private non-profit
agencies, including current Migrant Head Start and Head Start grantees.
If there is sufficient interest, an informal informational meeting
may be held in Bakersfield, CA for potential applicants. If you are
interested in attending such a meeting, please contact James Kolb at
(202) 205-8580 by May 27, 1997.
Category 4. Head Start-eligible children living in underserved
areas in New York, New York (i.e. Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and
Richmond counties). Applicants must propose serving children in
underserved areas with high concentrations of poverty.
Eligible applicants are local public or private non-profit agencies
in Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and
[[Page 26527]]
Richmond Counties that are not current Head Start grantees. (Present
grantees may submit applications to expand enrollment by responding to
Program Instruction ACYF-PI-HS-97-01, issued on March 12, 1997.)
Eligible applicants may apply for more than one of the four
categories above, but must submit a separate application for each
category.
D. Available Funds
Category 1. A total of approximately $2,000,000 will be made
available under Category 1 of this announcement for establishing new
Head Start programs for preschool children in currently unserved
geographical areas. To assure that the program can operate cost-
efficiently, applicants that are not current Head Start grantees will
generally not be funded to initiate a new program in unserved
geographical areas for less than 60 children unless the applicant can
justify why a smaller enrollment level is appropriate for the
geographical area proposed for expansion. Current Head Start grantees
may be funded for as little as one class (or a group of children and
families served by a single home visitor in a home-based program
option) when they expand into an unserved geographical area, if such an
expansion would be cost efficient.
Category 2. For applicants applying to serve preschool children on
unserved Indian reservations under Category 2, up to approximately
$3,000,000 will be made available. No minimum enrollment level has been
established for new Indian Head Start projects. Applicants should
propose to serve a sufficient number of children to ensure a viable and
cost-efficient program.
Category 3. For applicants applying to serve migrant children
(infants, toddlers and preschoolers) under Category 3, up to
approximately $4,500,000 will be made available. While no minimum
enrollment level has been established for Migrant Head Start projects,
applicants should indicate a sufficient number of eligible children to
ensure a viable and cost-efficient program. Factors to be addressed
related to program viability should include the size of the service
area proposed and a sufficient population to justify program services
in ``off years'' when the population of migrant children might be low
due to crop failure, variations in the migrant stream or natural
disasters such as drought or flood.
Sub-Category 3.A. Approximately $2,150,000 is available under this
Sub-Category to continue the Migrant Head Start program that serves
Kern County, CA.
Category 4. Under Category 4, we expect to make awards in a range
of approximately $2 million to $4 million to applicants applying to
establish new programs to serve children in underserved areas within
the five boroughs of New York, New York. Applicants should propose to
serve a minimum of 60 children unless the applicant can justify why a
smaller enrollment level is appropriate for the geographical area
proposed for expansion.
Recipient Share of the Project
Section 640(b) of the Head Start Act requires, with certain
possible exceptions, that at least 20 percent of the total cost of Head
Start projects come from sources other than the Federal government.
Therefore, a project requesting $100,000 in Federal funds must include
a match of at least $25,000 (20 percent of the total Federal plus non-
Federal project cost of $125,000). The non-Federal share may be in cash
or in-kind, fairly valued, including facilities, equipment, or
volunteer services.

3. Describe plans to establish new Head Start services in a timely
and efficient manner. Applicants for center-based program options
should discuss plans to obtain classroom space which meets required
licensing standards and to provide adequate transportation. All
applicants should outline plans to recruit eligible children and
families and begin services as soon as possible. Note: ACYF expects
that all applicants funded under this announcement will be serving
their full number of proposed children and families no later than
September, 1998.
4. Document cooperative arrangements with other public or private
agencies to assist the applicant in providing high quality Head Start
services. Such cooperative arrangements must include a plan to
coordinate the Head Start program with other preschool programs and
with school programs children will enter after their Head Start
experience. For applicants for Migrant Head Start funding, demonstrate
collaboration with other organizations and networks serving migrant
children and families.

Start program. Applicants that have provided services comparable to
Head Start should provide information on these services.
5. Describe how high quality ongoing services will be provided in
accordance with the Head Start Program Performance Standards at a
reasonable cost. Provide two budgets: a budget for annual ongoing
operating costs and; a budget for the initial period before full
services begin that describes start-up costs such as renovation of
facilities, purchases of equipment and initial staff training.
6. Identify in the budget the required non-Federal share of the
cost of the project. Discuss strategies for obtaining the contributions
required to satisfy requirements for the non-Federal share. Document
other community resources which would support the proposed expansion of
Head Start.

Part IV. The Application Process
A. Availability of Forms
Eligible agencies interested in applying for funds must submit all
of the required forms included at the end of this announcement in
Appendix D. Applicants are required to use the Standard Forms,
Certifications, Disclosures and Assurances provided under the ACF
Uniform Discretionary Grant Application Form (ACF/UDGAF). Applicants
should follow instructions in the ACF/UDGAF for NEW APPLICATIONS.
Applicants should respond to the instructions under ACF/UDGAF--Program
Narrative--Items A (Project Description--Components) and D (*Budget and
Budget Justification). Under Project Description--Component, the
applicant should address the specific information requested in Part II
of this announcement.
In order to be considered for a Head Start grant, an application
must be submitted on Standard Form 424 which has been approved by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Control Number 0348-0043.
Each application must be signed by an individual authorized to act for
the applicant and to assume responsibility for the obligations imposed
by the terms and conditions of the grant award. Each application must
have an original signature by the authorized representative of the
applicant. A copy of the governing body's authorization for this
individual to sign this application as an official representative must
be on file in the applicant's office.
B. Application Submission
One signed original and two copies of the grant application,
including all attachments, are required. Completed applications must be
sent to: Head Start: Unserved Areas, ACYF Operations Center, 3030
Clarendon Blvd., Arlington, VA 22201. The program announcement number
(ACYF-HS-97-06) must be clearly identified on the application.
Applicants must also indicate in Box 11 on Standard Form 424 for which
of the four categories in Part I.A., above, they are applying.
Applicants may apply to serve children in more than one category, but
must submit a separate application for each category. Applicants
applying for more than one category in a single application will not be
considered for funding in any category.
Please note that, in order to facilitate the review of proposals,
applicants should include a Table of Contents. Although there is no
specific limit on the number of pages an application may contain,
applicants are encouraged to be as concise and succinct as possible.
C. Application Consideration
Applicants will be reviewed against the evaluation criteria
outlined in Part III. The review will be conducted in Washington, D.C.
Reviewers will be persons knowledgeable about the Head Start program
and early childhood education and development, including parents of
Head Start children, Federal staff, and other experts, such as
university staff or the staff of child development projects.
The results of the competitive review will be taken into
consideration by the Associate Commissioner, Head Start Bureau, who, in
consultation with officials in ACF Regional Offices and the Indian and
Migrant Programs Branches, will recommend projects to be funded. The
Commissioner of ACYF will make the final selection of the applicants to
be funded. Applications may be funded in whole or in part depending on
relative need (including numbers of eligible children who are not
participating in Head Start and concentrations of low-income families
in a community), applicant ranking, evidence of the degree of community
support, evidence of the applicant's capacity to implement the
requested expansion, and funds available.
The Commissioner may elect not to fund any applicants that have
management, fiscal, or other problems and situations which make it
unlikely that they would be able to provide effective Head Start
services. For example, this might apply to a current Head Start grantee
in which previously identified deficiencies have not yet been
corrected, if it is determined that the nature of the deficiencies
might prevent the agency from delivering expanded services effectively.
It might also apply to grantees with large balances of unobligated
funds, or grantees that have been unable to serve the agreed upon
numbers of children in the past. Also, the Commissioner may decide not
to fund projects which would require unreasonably large initial start-
up costs for facilities or equipment.
Successful applicants will be notified through the issuance of a
Financial Assistance Award which sets forth the amount of funds
awarded, the terms and conditions of the grant, the effective date of
the grant, the budget period for which support is given, the non-
Federal share to be provided, and the total project period for which
support is provided.

not submitted in accordance with the above criteria shall be considered
as meeting the deadline only if they are physically received before the
close of business on or before the deadline date.
3. Late Applications. Applications which do not meet one of these
criteria are considered late applications. The Head Start Bureau will
notify each late applicant that its application will not be considered
in this expansion.
4. Extension of deadline. The Head Start Bureau may extend the
deadline for all applicants because of acts of God such as floods,
hurricanes, etc. or when there is a disruption of the mails. However,
if the Head Start Bureau does not extend the deadline for all
applicants, it may not waive or extend the deadline for any applicant.
E. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.L.104-
13), all information collections within this program announcement are
approved under OMB Control Number 0970-0139, the Uniform Discretionary
Grant Application Form. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
F. Executive Order 12372--Notification Process
This program is covered under Executive Order (E.O.) 12372,
``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs,'' and 45 CFR Part 100,
``Intergovernmental Review of Department of Health and Human Services
Programs and Activities.'' Under the Order, States may design their own
processes for reviewing and commenting on proposed Federal assistance
under covered programs. All States and territories except Alabama,
Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, American Samoa, and Palau have elected
to participate in the Executive Order process and have established
Single Points of Contact (SPOCs). Applications from Federally
recognized Indian Tribes are exempt from E.O. 12372.
Applicants from these twenty-three jurisdictions and from Federally
recognized Indian tribes need take no action regarding E.O. 12372. All
other applicants should contact their SPOC as soon as possible to alert
them to the prospective application and to receive any necessary
instructions. Applicants must submit any required material to the SPOC
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 date of contact if no submittal
is required) on the SF 424, item 16a.
SPOCs have 60 days from the application deadline date to comment on
applications submitted under this announcement. Therefore, the comment
period for State processes will end on September 11, 1997, to allow
time for ACF to review, consider, and attempt to accommodate SPOC
input. SPOCs are encouraged to eliminate the submission of routine
endorsements as official recommendations. Additionally, SPOCs are
requested to clearly differentiate between mere advisory comments and
those official State process recommendations which they intend to

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 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 function 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 of 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

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

or minus, as appropriate, the amounts shown in Columns (e) and (f).
The amount(s) in Column (g) should not equal the sum of amounts in
Columns (e) and (f).

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), Line 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 of 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.

Applicant Organization
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This certification is required by the regulations implementing
the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988: 45 CFR Part 76, Subpart F.
Sections 76.630(c) and (d)(2) and 76.645(a)(1) and (b) provide that
a Federal agency may designate a central receipt point for STATE-
WIDE AND STATE AGENCY-WIDE certifications, and for notification of
criminal drug convictions. For the Department of Health and Human
Services, the central point is: Division of Grants Management and
Oversight, Office of Management and Acquisition, Department of
Health and Human Services, Room 517-D, 200 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20201.
Certification Regarding Drug-Free Workplace Requirements (Instructions
for Certification)
1. By signing and/or submitting this application or grant
agreement, the grantee is providing the certification set out below.
2. The certification set out below is a material representation
of fact upon which reliance is placed when the agency awards the
grant. If it is later determined that the
[[Page 26540]]
grantee knowingly rendered a false certification, or otherwise
violates the requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act, the
agency, in addition to any other remedies available to the Federal
Government, may take action authorized under the Drug-Free Workplace
Act.
3. For grantees other than individuals, Alternate I applies.
4. For grantees who are individuals, Alternate II applies.
5. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals,
need not be identified on the certification. If known, they may be
identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not
identify the workplace at the time of application, or upon award, if
there is no application, the grantee must keep the identity of the
workplace(s) on file in its office and make the information
available for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known
workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free
workplace requirements.
6. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of
buildings (or parts of buildings) or other sites where work under
the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g.,
all vehicles of a mass transit authority or State highway department
while in operation, State employees in each local unemployment
office, performers in concert halls or radio studios).
7. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the
performance of the grant, the grantee shall inform the agency of the
change(s), if it previously identified the workplaces in question
(see paragraph five).
8. Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and
Debarment common rule and Drug-Free Workplace common rule apply to
this certification. Grantees' attention is called, in particular, to
the following definitions from these rules:
Controlled substance means a controlled substance in Schedules I
through V of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and as
further defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through 1308.15);
Conviction means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo
contendere) or imposition of sentence, or both, by any judicial body
charged with the responsibility to determine violations of the
Federal or State criminal drug statutes;
Criminal drug statute means a Federal or non-Federal criminal
statute involving the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, use, or
possession of any controlled substance;
Employee means the employee of a grantee directly engaged in the
performance of work under a grant, including: (i) All direct charge
employees; (ii) All indirect charge employees unless their impact or
involvement is insignificant to the performance of the grant; and,
(iii) Temporary personnel and consultants who are directly engaged
in the performance of work under the grant and who are on the
grantee's payroll. This definition does not include workers not on
the payroll of the grantee (e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a
matching requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on
the grantee's payroll; or employees of subrecipients or
subcontractors in covered workplaces).
Certification Regarding Drug-Free Workplace Requirements
Alternate I. (Grantees Other Than Individuals)
The grantee certifies that it will or will continue to provide a
drug-free workplace by:
(a) Publishing a statement notifying employees that the unlawful
manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a
controlled substance is prohibited in the grantee's workplace and
specifying the actions that will be taken against employees for
violation of such prohibition;
(b) Establishing an ongoing drug-free awareness program to
inform employees about--
(1) The dangers of drug abuse in the workplace;
(2) The grantee's policy of maintaining a drug-free workplace;
(3) Any available drug counseling, rehabilitation, and employee
assistance programs; and
(4) The penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug
abuse violations occurring in the workplace;
(c) Making it a requirement that each employee to be engaged in
the performance of the grant be given a copy of the statement
required by paragraph (a);
(d) Notifying the employee in the statement required by
paragraph (a) that, as a condition of employment under the grant,
the employee will--
(1) Abide by the terms of the statement; and
(2) Notify the employer in writing of his or her conviction for
a violation of a criminal drug statute occurring in the workplace no
later than five calendar days after such conviction;
(e) Notifying the agency in writing, within ten calendar days
after receiving notice under paragraph (d)(2) from an employee or
otherwise receiving actual notice of such conviction. Employers of
convicted employees must provide notice, including position title,
to every grant officer or other designee on whose grant activity the
convicted employee was working, unless the Federal agency has
designated a central point for the receipt of such notices. Notice
shall include the identification number(s) of each affected grant;
(f) Taking one of the following actions, within 30 calendar days
of receiving notice under paragraph (d)(2), with respect to any
employee who is so convicted--
(1) Taking appropriate personnel action against such an
employee, up to and including termination, consistent with the
requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; or
(2) Requiring such employee to participate satisfactorily in a
drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for such
purposes by a Federal, State, or local health, law enforcement, or
other appropriate agency;
(g) Making a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug-
free workplace through implementation of paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
(d), (e) and (f).
(B) The grantee may insert in the space provided below the
site(s) for the performance of work done in connection with the
specific grant:

identified here.
Alternate II. (Grantees Who Are Individuals)
(a) The grantee certifies that, as a condition of the grant, he
or she will not engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance in
conducting any activity with the grant;
(b) If convicted of a criminal drug offense resulting from a
violation occurring during the conduct of any grant activity, he or
she will report the conviction, in writing, within 10 calendar days
of the conviction, to every grant officer or other designee, unless
the Federal agency designates a central point for the receipt of
such notices. When notice is made to such a central point, it shall
include the identification number(s) of each affected grant. [55 FR

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

frequency by which it 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 possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary
course of business dealings.
