Fiscal Year 2001 Discretionary Announcement for Select Areas of 
Early Head Start; Availability of Funds and Request for Applications

AGENCY: Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), ACF, 
DHHS.

ACTION: Notice of Fiscal Year 2001 Early Head Start availability of 
financial assistance for select areas and request for applications.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration on Children, Youth and Families announces 
financial assistance to be competitively awarded to local public and 
local non-profit and for-profit private entities--including Early Head 
Start and Head Start grantees--to provide child and family development 
services for low-income families with children under age three and 
pregnant women. Early Head Start programs provide early, continuous, 
intensive and comprehensive child development and family support 
services on a year-round basis to low-income families. The purpose of 
the Early Head Start program is to enhance children's physical, social, 
emotional, and intellectual development; to support parents' efforts to 
fulfill their parental roles; and to help parents move toward self-
sufficiency.
    The funds available will be competitively awarded to eligible 
applicants to operate Early Head Start programs in select service 
areas.
    Grants will be competitively awarded to eligible applicants, 
including current Head Start and Early Head Start grantees, to operate 
Early Head Start programs in geographic areas currently served by 
existing Early Head Start research grantees which were first funded in 
fiscal years 1995 and 1996 and other Early Head Start grantees first 
funded in fiscal year 1996 (see list below for the geographic areas). 
In awarding these grants, ACYF is interested in assuring that 
communities currently served by these existing grantees will have an 
opportunity to continue receiving services to low-income families with 
infants and toddlers and pregnant women through Early Head Start. 
Applicants in each geographic area will compete for funds against other 
applicants wishing to serve the same geographic area. There are 83 such 
competitive areas.

DATES: The closing date and time for receipt of applications is 5 p.m. 
EST on November 13, 2000.

    Note: Applications should be submitted to the ACYF Operations 
Center at: 1815 N. Fort Myer Drive, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22209.

project.

programs must, in most instances, provide a non-Federal contribution of

et seq.

    The extent to which the applicant lists relevant program objectives

Points)

    The extent to which the proposed program director, proposed key 
project staff, the organization's experience, including experience in

the planning and activities to be carried out and the anticipated

and will contribute the non-Federal share of the total project cost.

Required Notification of the State Single Point of Contact

    This program is covered under Executive Order 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, Colorado, 
Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, 
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, 
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, 
Washington, American Samoa, and Palau have elected to participate in 
the Executive Order process and have established Single Points of 
Contact (SPOCs). Applicants from these jurisdictions need not take 
action regarding Executive Order 12372.
    Applications for projects to be administered by Federally 
recognized Indian Tribes are also exempt from the requirements of 
Executive Order 12372. Otherwise, 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 early 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 Standard Form 424, item 16a.
    Under 45 CFR 100.8(a)(2), a SPOC has 60 days from the application 
deadline to comment on proposed new or competing continuation awards.
    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

[[Page 55256]]

may trigger the ``accommodate or explain'' rule.
    When comments are submitted directly to the ACF, they should be 
addressed to: William Wilson, Head Start Bureau, Grants Officer, 330 C 
Street SW., Room 2220, Washington, DC 20447, Attn: Early Head Start 
Competition for Select Service Areas.
