CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Increase in Allowable Cost per Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) for 
Indian Tribes Applying for 2001 AmeriCorps Program Grant Funds

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(Corporation) announces an increase in the allowable cost per FTE for 
Indian Tribes applying for 2001 AmeriCorps funds. The Corporation will 
consider applications with a cost per FTE of up to $15,000, provided 
that the necessity for the increase is clearly documented in the 
proposal.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: AmeriCorps Tribal Program Officer, 
(202) 606-5000, ext. 417. TDD (202) 565-2799. For individuals with 
disabilities, information will be made available in alternative formats 
upon request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the National and Community 
Service Act of 1990, as amended (42 U.S.C. 12501 et seq.), the 
Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) makes 
grants to support national service programs. The Corporation has sent 
out application packets announcing the availability of approximately 
$2,000,000 for its 2001 AmeriCorps competition for new and continuing 
AmeriCorps program grants to Indian Tribes. According to the 
application instructions, no grant may exceed the total number of FTE 
AmeriCorps members multiplied by $12,100. This notice is to inform 
potential applicants that the Corporation will consider applications 
with a cost per FTE of up to $15,000, provided that the necessity for 
the increase is clearly documented in the proposal.
    For example, if an applicant wishes to apply for a program 
supporting 20 full-time AmeriCorps members, the maximum grant award the 
applicant may receive is 20 x $15,000, or $300,000. If the applicant 
applies for 15 full-time members and 10 part-time members, the maximum 
grant award would also be 20 x $15,000, or $300,000.
    Applicants should keep in mind that proposals requesting a lower 
cost per member might be deemed more competitive, as this is a factor 
in our evaluation criteria. Further, whether the Corporation will 
approve a budget of $15,000 per member may depend upon the aggregate 
amount requested by all applicants under this announcement.

    Dated: March 7, 2001.

Director, AmeriCorps*State/National.
