Part A--Preamble

1. Legislative Authority

    The Community Services Block Grant Act, as amended, authorizes the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services to make funds available under 
several programs to support program activities which will result in 
direct benefits targeted to low-income people. This Program 
Announcement covers the grant authority found at Section 681 of the 
Community Services Block Grant Act, as amended by the Community 
Opportunities, Accountability, and Training and Educational Services 
Act of 1998, Community Food and Nutrition Programs, which authorizes 
the Secretary to make funds available for grants to be awarded on a 
competitive basis to eligible entities for community-based, local and 
statewide programs (1) to coordinate private and public food assistance 
resources, wherever the grant recipient involved determines such 
coordination to be inadequate, to better serve low-income populations; 
(2) to assist low-income communities to identify potential sponsors of 
child nutrition programs and to initiate such programs in underserved 
or unserved areas; and (3) to develop innovative approaches at the 
State and local level to meet the nutrition needs of low-income 
individuals.
    The Act also requires that 20 percent of the appropriated funds in 
excess of $6 million be awarded on a competitive basis to eligible 
agencies for nationwide programs, including programs benefiting Native 
Americans and migrant or seasonal farmworkers.

2. Definitions of Terms

    For purposes of this Program Announcement, the following

time into which a grant period of assistance (project period) is 
divided for budgetary and funding purposes.
    Displaced worker: An individual who is in the labor market but has 
been unemployed for six months or longer.
    Eligible entity: State and local governments, as well as Indian 
tribes, and public and private nonprofit agencies/organizations

    Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities: Those Communities 
designated as such by the Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development.
    Indian tribe: A tribe, band, or other organized group of Native

past program practices and tests a new approach.
    Migrant farmworker: An individual who works in agricultural 
employment of a seasonal or other temporary nature who is required to 
be absent from his/her place of permanent residence in order to secure 
such employment.
    Program income: Gross income earned by the grant recipient that is 
directly generated by an activity supported with grant funds.
    Project period: The total time for which a project is approved for 
support, including any approved extensions.

not need and is not eligible for public assistance.
    Underserved area (as it pertains to child nutrition programs): A 
locality in which less than one-half of the low-income children 
eligible for assistance participate in any child nutrition program.

3. Purpose of Community Food and Nutrition Program

    The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is committed to 
improving the overall health and nutritional well-being of individuals 
through improved preventive health care and promotion of personal 
responsibility. The DHHS encourages the approach to health promotion 
and nutritional responsibility with personal messages aimed at families 
and communities, in various settings and environments in which 
individuals and groups can most effectively be reached.
    The DHHS is specifically interested in improving the health and 
nutrition status of low-income persons through improved access to 
healthy nutritious foods or by other means. The DHHS encourages 
community efforts to improve the coordination and integration of health 
and social services for all low-income families, and to identify 
opportunities for collaborating with other programs and services for 
this population. Such collaboration can increase a community's capacity 
to leverage resources and promote an integrated approach to health and 
nutrition through existing programs and services.

4. Project Requirements

    Projects funded under this program should:
    (a) Be designed and intended to provide nutrition benefits, 
including those which incorporate the benefits of disease prevention, 
to a targeted low-income group of people;
    (b) Provide outreach and public education to inform eligible low-
income individuals and families of other nutritional services available 
to them under the various Federally-assisted programs;
    (c) Carry out targeted communications/social marketing to improve 
dietary behavior and increase program participation among eligible low-
income populations. Populations to be targeted can include displaced 
workers, elderly people, children, and the working poor.
    (d) Consult with and/or inform local offices that administer other 
food programs such as W.I.C. and Food Stamps, where applicable, to 
ensure effective coordination which can jointly target services to 
increase their effectiveness. Such consultation may include involving 
these offices in the planning of grant applications.
    (e) Focus on one or more legislatively-mandated program activities: 
(1) Coordination of private and public food assistance resources, 
wherever the grant recipient involved determines such coordination to 
be inadequate, to better serve low-income populations; (2) assistance 
to low-income communities in identifying potential sponsors of child 
nutrition programs and initiating such programs in unserved or 
underserved areas; and (3) development of innovative approaches at the 
state and local level to meet the nutrition needs of low-income 
individuals.
    The OCS views this program as a capacity building program, rather 
than as a service delivery program.

Part B--Application Requirements

1. Eligible Applicants

    Eligible applicants are State and local governments, as well as 
Indian tribes, and public and private nonprofit agencies/organizations 
with a demonstrated ability to successfully develop and implement 
programs and activities similar to those enumerated above. The OCS 
encourages Historically Black Colleges and Universities and minority 
institutions to submit

[[Page 16558]]

applications. Eligible applicants with programs benefiting Native 
Americans and migrant or seasonal farmworkers are also encouraged to 
submit applications.
    Any nonprofit organization submitting an application must submit 
proof of its nonprofit status in its application at the time of 
submission. The nonprofit 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 tax code or by providing a copy of the currently 
valid IRS tax exemption certificate, or by providing a copy of the 
applicant's Articles of Incorporation bearing the seal of the State in 
which the corporation or association is domiciled.

2. Availability of Funds and Grant Amounts

a. Fiscal Year 2001 Funding
    The funds available for grant awards under the CFNP in Fiscal Year 
2001 are:

General Projects: $2,526,000
Nationwide Programs: $63,000

    All grant awards are subject to the availability of appropriated 
funds.
b. Grant Amounts
    No individual grant application will be considered for an amount in 
excess of $50,000 for applications submitted under General Projects. No 
eligible organization may receive more than $63,000 for a nationwide 
program.
c. Mobilization of Resources
    The OCS would like to mobilize as many resources as possible to 
enhance projects funded under this program. The OCS supports and 
encourages applications submitted by applicants whose programs will 
leverage other resources, either cash or third party in-kind.

3. Project Periods and Budget Periods

    For most projects, OCS will grant funds for one year. However, in 
rare instances, depending on the characteristics of any individual 
project and on the justification presented by the applicant in its 
application, a grant may be made for a period of up to 17 months.

4. Administrative Costs/Indirect Costs

    There is no administrative cost limitation for projects funded 
under this program. Indirect costs consistent with approved indirect 
cost rate agreements are allowable. Applicants should enclose a copy of 
the current approved rate agreement. 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 low-income people as defined in the 
most recent annual update of the Poverty Income Guidelines published by 
DHHS. Attachment A to this Announcement is an excerpt from the most 
recently published 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. The Federal Register may be 
obtained from public libraries, Congressional offices, or by writing 
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington, DC 20402. The Federal Register is also available on the 
Internet through GPO Access at the following web address: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aces140.html.
    No other government agency or privately defined poverty guidelines 
are applicable to the determination of low-income eligibility for this 
OCS program.

6. Number of Projects in Application

    An application may contain only one project and this project must 
address the basic criteria found in Parts C and D of this Program 
Announcement. Applications which are not in compliance with these 
requirements will be ineligible for funding.

7. Multiple Submittal

    There is no limit to the number of applications that can be 
submitted by an eligible applicant as long as each application is for a 
different project. However, no applicant can receive more than one 
grant.

8. Sub-Contracting or Delegating Projects

    The OCS will not fund any project where the role of the eligible 
applicant is primarily to serve as a conduit for funds to other 
organizations.

Part C--Program Priority Areas

1. General Projects--FN

    The application should include a description of the target area and 
population to be served as well as a discussion of the nature and 
extent of the problem to be solved. The application must contain a 
detailed and specific work program that is both sound and feasible. 
Projects funded under this Announcement must produce permanent and 
measurable results that fulfill the purposes of this program as 
described above. The OCS grant funds, in combination with private and/
or other public resources, must be targeted to low-income individuals 
and communities.
    Applicants will certify in their submission that projects will only 
serve the low-income population as stipulated in the DHHS Poverty 
Income Guidelines (Attachment A). Failure to comply with the income 
guidelines may result in the application being ineligible for 
consideration for funding.
    If an applicant is proposing a project which will affect a property 
listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of 
Historic Places, it must identify this property in the narrative and 
explain how it has complied with the provisions of Section 106 of the 
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. If there is any 
question as to whether the property is listed in or is eligible for 
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, applicant should 
consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer. The applicant 
should contact OCS early in the development of its application for 
instructions regarding compliance with the Act and data required to be 
submitted to DHHS.
    In the case of projects proposed for funding which mobilize or 
improve the coordination of existing public and private food assistance 
resources, the guidelines governing those resources apply. However, in 
the case of projects providing direct assistance to beneficiaries 
through grants funded under this program, beneficiaries must fall 
within the official DHHS Poverty Income Guidelines as set forth in 
Attachment A.
    Applications that propose the use of grant funds for the 
development of any printed or visual materials must contain convincing 
evidence that these materials are not available from other sources. The 
OCS will not provide funding for such items if justification is not 
sufficient. Approval of any films or visual presentations proposed by 
applicants approved for funding will be made part of the grant award. 
In cases where material outlays for equipment (audio and visual) are 
requested, specific evidence must be presented that there is a definite 
programmatic connection between the equipment (audio and visual) usage 
and the outreach requirements described in Part A-3 of this 
Announcement.
    The OCS is also interested in projects that address the needs of 
homeless families and welcomes applications that seek to develop 
innovative approaches

[[Page 16559]]

to promote health and nutritional awareness among low-income 
populations.

2. Nationwide Programs--NP

    Projects funded must be nationwide in scope and must meet the 
requirements of Part C-1 (General Projects). No eligible organization 
may receive more than $63,000 for a nationwide program.

Part D--Review Criteria

    Applications that pass the initial screening and pre-rating review 
(see Part F, section 4) 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 describing major strengths and weaknesses under each 
applicable criterion published in the Announcement.
    The in-depth evaluation and review process will use the following 
criteria coupled with the specific requirements as described in Part F.
    When writing their Project Narrative, applicants should respond to 
the review criteria using the same sequential order.

2. SF-424A--Budget Information--Non-Construction Programs (Attachment 
B-2)

    See the instructions accompanying the Attachment as well as the 
instructions set forth below.
    In completing these sections, the Federal funds budget entries will 
relate to the requested OCS Community Food and Nutrition Program funds 
only, and non-Federal will include mobilized funds from all other 
sources--applicants, State, and other Federal funds other than those 
requested from the Community Food and Nutrition Program should be 
included in non-Federal entries.
    Sections A and D of SF-424A must contain entries for both Federal 
(OCS) and non-Federal mobilized funds.
Section A--Budget Summary
Lines 1-4
    Column (a) Line 1--Enter OCS CFNP.
    Column (b) Line 1--Enter 93.571.
    Columns (c) and (d)--Not Applicable.
    Columns (e), (f) and (g)--Line 1--Enter appropriate amounts needed 
to support the project for the entire project period.
Line 5
    Enter the figures from Line 1 for all columns completed, (e), (f), 
and (g).
Section B--Budget Categories
    This section should contain entries for OCS funds only. For all 
projects, the first budget period of 12 months will be entered in 
Column (1).
    Allocability of costs is governed by applicable cost principles set 
forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 45, Parts 74 and 
92.
    Budget estimates for administrative costs must be supported by 
adequate detail for the grants officer to perform a cost analysis and 
review. Adequately detailed calculations for each budget object class 
are those which reflect estimation methods, quantities, unit costs, 
salaries, and other similar quantitative detail sufficient for the 
calculation to be duplicated. For any additional object class 
categories included under the object class other, identify the 
additional object class(es) and provide supporting calculations.
    Supporting narratives and justifications are required for each 
budget category, with emphasis on unique/special initiatives; large 
dollar amounts; local, regional, or other travel; new positions; major 
equipment purchases; and training programs.
    A detailed itemized budget with a separate budget justification for 
each major item should be included as indicated below:

[[Page 16561]]

Line 6a
    Personnel--Enter the total costs of salaries and wages.
    Justification--Identify the project director and staff. Specify by 
title or name the percentage of time allocated to the project, the 
individual annual salaries and the cost to the project (both Federal 
and non-Federal) of the organization's staff who will be working on the 
project.
Line 6b
    Fringe Benefits--Enter the total costs of fringe benefits unless 
treated as part of an approved indirect cost rate which is entered on 
Line 6j.
    Justification--Enter the total costs of fringe benefits, unless 
treated as part of an approved indirect cost rate. Provide a breakdown 
of amounts and percentages that comprise fringe benefit costs.
Line 6c
    Travel--Enter total cost of all travel by employees of the project. 
Do not enter costs for consultant's travel.
    Justification--Include the name(s) of traveler(s), total number of 
trips, destinations, length of stay, mileage rate, transportation costs 
and subsistence allowances. Traveler must be a person listed under the 
personnel line or employee being paid under non-Federal share. (Note: 
Local transportation and consultant travel costs are entered on Line 
6h.)
Line 6d
    Equipment--Enter the total costs of all equipment to be acquired by 
the project. Equipment means an article of nonexpendable, tangible 
personal property having a useful life of more than one year and an 
acquisition cost which equals or exceeds the lesser of (a) the 
capitalization level established by the organization for financial 
statement purposes, or (b) $5,000. [Note: If an applicant's current 
rate agreement was based on another definition for equipment, such as 
``tangible personal property $500 or more'', the applicant shall use 
the definition used by the cognizant agency in determining the rate(s). 
However, consistent with the applicant's equipment policy, lower limits 
may be set.]
    Justification--Equipment to be purchased with Federal funds must be 
required to conduct the project, and the applicant organization or its 
subgrantees must not already have the equipment or a reasonable 
facsimile available to the project.
Line 6e
    Supplies--Enter the total costs of all tangible personal property 
other than that included on line 6d.
    Justification--Provide a general description of what is being 
purchased such as type of supplies (office, classroom, medical, etc.). 
Include equipment costing less than $5,000 per item.
Line 6f
    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. Recipients and subrecipients, other than States that are 
required to use Part 92 procedures, must justify any anticipated 
procurement action that is expected to be awarded without competition 
and exceed the simplified acquisition threshold fixed at 41 USC 403(11) 
currently set at $100,000. Recipients might be 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.

    Note: Whenever the applicant intends to delegate part of the 
project to another agency, the applicant must provide a detailed 
budget and budget narrative for each delegate agency, by agency 
title, along with the required supporting information referred to in 
these instructions.

Line 6g
    Construction--Not applicable.

which does not require per diem is considered local travel); 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.
Line 6j
    Indirect Charges--Enter the total amount of indirect costs. This 
line should be used only when the applicant currently has an indirect 
cost rate approved by DHHS or other Federal agencies.
    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. It should be noted that when an indirect cost 
rate is requested, those costs included in the indirect cost pool 
cannot also be budgeted or charged as direct costs to the grant. 
Indirect costs consistent with approved indirect cost rate agreements 
are allowable. Also, if the applicant is requesting a rate which is 
less than what is allowed under the program, the authorized 
representative of the applicant organization must submit a signed 
acknowledgement that the applicant is accepting a lower rate than 
allowed.
Line 6k
    Totals--Enter the total amount of Lines 6i and 6j.
Line 7
    Program Income--Enter the estimated amount of income, if any,

narrative statement.
    Justification--Describe the nature, source and anticipated use of 
program income in the Program Narrative Statement.
Section C--Non-Federal Resources
    This section is to record the amounts of non-Federal resources that 
will be used to support the project. Non-Federal resources mean other 
than OCS funds for which the applicant has received a commitment. 
Provide a brief explanation, on a separate sheet, showing the type of 
contribution, broken out by Object Class Category, (see SF-424A, 
Section B.6) and whether it is cash or third party in-kind. The firm 
commitment of these required funds must be documented and submitted 
with the application in order to be given credit in the criterion.

[[Page 16562]]

    Except in unusual situations, this documentation must be in the 
form of letters of commitment or letters of intent from the 
organization(s)/individuals from which funds will be received.

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. Also, enter the date the rate was approved, where applicable. 
Attach a copy of the approved rate agreement.
Line 23
    Provide any other explanations and continuation sheets required or 
deemed necessary to justify or explain the budget information.

Part F--Application Procedures

1. Availability of Forms

    Applications for awards under this OCS program must be submitted on 
Standard Forms (SF) 424, 424A, and 424B. Part E and the Attachments to 
this Program Announcement contain all the instructions and forms 
required for submittal of applications. The forms may be reproduced for 
use in submitting applications.
    A copy of this Program Announcement is available on the Internet 
through the OCS web site at the following web address: 
www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/ocs/kits1.htm.
    This Program Announcement also may be obtained by telephoning the 
office listed in the section entitled For Further Information Contact 
at the beginning of this Announcement.
    The information requested under this Program Announcement is 
covered under the following OMB information collection clearances: SF-
424 (No. 0348-0043), SF-424A (No. 0348-0044), SF-424B (No. 0348-0040), 
and other requirements for OCS applications (No. 0970-0062, expiration 
date October 31, 2001).

2. Intergovernmental Review

    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 
Program 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, Arizona, 
Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, 
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, 
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, 
Virginia, Washington, Wyoming, American Samoa and Palau have elected to 
participate in the Executive Order process and have established Single 
Points of Contact (SPOCs). Applicants from these twenty-eight 
jurisdictions need take no action regarding E.O. 12372. Applicants for 
projects to be administered by Federally-recognized Indian Tribes are 
also exempt from the requirements of 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 indicate ``not applicable'' 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 may trigger the ``accommodate or explain'' rule.
    When comments are submitted directly to ACF, they should be 
addressed to: Department of Health and Human Services, Administration 
for Children and Families, OCSE Office of Grants Management, 370 
L'Enfant Promenade, S.W., 4th floor East, Washington, D.C. 20447.
    A list of the Single Points of Contact for each State and Territory 
is included as Attachment G of this Announcement.

3. Application Consideration

    Applications that meet the screening requirements in Section 4 
below will be reviewed competitively. Such

[[Page 16563]]

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 applicant; 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. The 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 Screening Applications

    a. Initial Screening--All applications that meet the application 
deadline will be screened to determine completeness and conformity to 
the requirements of this Announcement. Only those applications meeting 
the below listed requirements will be reviewed and evaluated 
competitively. Others will be returned to the applicants with a 
notation that they were unacceptable.
    (1) The application must contain a completed and signed Standard 
Form SF-424.
    (2) The SF-424 must be signed by an official of the organization 
applying for the grant who has authority to obligate the organization 
legally.
    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 A 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:
    (1) Eligibility--Applicant meets the eligibility requirements found 
in Part B.
    (2) Number of Projects--The application contains only one project.
    (3) Target Populations--The application clearly targets the 
specific outcomes and benefits of the project to low-income 
participants and beneficiaries as defined in the DHHS Poverty Income 
Guidelines (Attachment A).
    (4) Grant Amount--The amount of funds requested does not exceed 
$50,000 (except for nationwide programs).
    (5) Program Focus--The application addresses the purposes described 
in Part A of this Announcement.
    c. Evaluation Criteria--Applications that pass the initial 
screening and pre-rating 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 describing major 
strengths and major weaknesses under each applicable criterion 
published in this Announcement.

Part G--Contents of Application Package and Receipt Process

1. Contents of Application

    Each application submission must include a signed original and four 
additional copies of the application. Each copy of the application MUST

award in excess of $100,000, applicants shall furnish an executed copy 
of the lobbying certification. Applicants must sign and return the 
certification with their applications.
    g. Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (SF-LLL). Applicants must 
fill-in, sign and date form found at Attachment C-2. (This form is 
required only if lobbying has actually taken place or is expected to 
take place in trying to obtain the grant for which the applicant is 
applying.)
    h. Project Narrative (See Part E, section 4)
    i. Certification Regarding Drug-Free Workplace Requirements 
(Attachment D). Applicants must make the appropriate certification of 
their compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. By signing 
and submitting the applications, applicants are providing the 
certification and need not mail back the certification with the 
applications.
    j. Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Etc. (Attachment 
E). Applicants must make the appropriate certification that they are 
not presently debarred, suspended or otherwise ineligible for award. By 
signing and submitting the applications, applicants are providing the 
certification and need not mail back the certification with the 
applications.
    k. Certification Regarding Environmental Tobacco Smoke (Attachment 
F). Applicants must make the appropriate certification of their 
compliance with the Pro-Children Act of 1944. By signing and submitting 
the applications, applicants are providing the certification and need 
not mail back the certification with the applications.
    The total number of pages for the narrative portion of the 
application package must not exceed 30 pages in its entirety. 
Applications must be uniform in composition since OCS may find it 
necessary to duplicate them for review purposes. Therefore, 
applications must be submitted on 8\1/2\ x 11-inch paper only. They 
must not include colored,

[[Page 16564]]

oversized or folded materials, organizational brochures, or other 
promotional materials, slides, films, clips, etc. Such materials will 
be discarded if included.
    Applications should be two-holed punched at the top center and 
fastened separately with a compressor slide paper fastener or a binder 
clip.
    While applications must be comprehensive, OCS encourages 
conciseness and brevity in the presentation of materials and cautions 
the applicant to avoid unnecessary duplication of information.

2. Acknowledgement of Receipt

    An acknowledgement will be mailed to all applicants with an 
identification number which will be noted on the acknowledgement. This 
number must be referred to in all subsequent communications with OCS 
concerning the application. If an acknowledgement is not received 
within three weeks after the application deadline, applicants must 
notify ACF by telephone (202) 260-6662. Applicant should also submit a 
mailing label for the acknowledgement. (Note: To facilitate receipt of 
this acknowledgement from ACF, applicant should include a cover letter 
with the application containing an E-mail address and facsimile (FAX) 
number if these items are available to applicant.)

Part H--Post Award Information and Reporting Requirements

    Following approval of the applications selected for funding, notice 
of project approval and authority to draw down project funds will be 
made in writing. The official award document is the Financial 
Assistance Award which provides the amount of Federal funds approved 
for use in the project, the budget period for which support is 
provided, and the terms and conditions of the award.
    In addition to the General Conditions and Special Conditions (where 
the latter are warranted) that will be applicable to grants, grantees 
will be subject to the provisions of 45 CFR Parts 74 (non-governmental) 
and 92 (governmental) along with Circulars 122 (non-governmental) and 
87 (governmental).
    Grantees will be required to submit semi-annual progress and 
financial reports (SF-269) as well as a final progress and financial 
report.
    Grantees are subject to the audit requirements in 45 CFR Parts 74 
and 92.
    Section 319 of Public Law 101-121, signed into law on October 23, 
1989, imposes new prohibitions and requirements for disclosure and 
certification related to lobbying when applicant has engaged in 
lobbying activities or is expected to lobby in trying to obtain the 
grant. It provides limited exemptions for Indian tribes and tribal 
organizations. Current and prospective recipients (and their subtier 
contractors and/or grantees) are prohibited from using appropriated 
funds for lobbying Congress or any Federal agency in connection with 
the award of a contract, grant, cooperative agreement or loan. In 
addition, for each award action in excess of $100,000 (or $150,000 for 
loans) the law requires recipients and their subtier contractors and/or 
subgrantees (1) to certify that they have neither used nor will use any 
appropriated funds for payment to lobbyists, (2) to submit a 
declaration setting forth whether payments to lobbyists have been or 
will be made out of non-appropriated funds and, if so, the name, 
address, payment details, and purpose of any agreements with such 
lobbyists whom recipients or their subtier contractors or subgrantees 
will pay with the non-appropriated funds, and (3) to file quarterly 
updates about the use of lobbyists if any event occurs that materially 
affects the accuracy of the information submitted by way of declaration 
and certification. The law establishes civil penalties for 
noncompliance and is effective with respect to contracts, grants, 
cooperative agreements and loans entered into or made on or after 
December 23, 1989. See Attachments C-1 and C-2 for certification and 
disclosure forms to be submitted with the applications for this 
program.
    Attachment H indicates the regulations that apply to all 
applicants/grantees under the FY 2001 Community Food and Nutrition 
Program.

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.

amounts by multiple functions or activities, enter the name of each 
activity or function on each line in Column (a), and enter the

    For applications pertaining to multiple programs where one or 
more programs require a breakdown by function or activity, prepare a

agency. Enter in Columns (c) and (d) the estimated amounts of funds 
which will remain unobligated at the end of the grant funding period

CERTIFICATION REGARDING DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE REQUIREMENTS

    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 pint 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 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 1 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 workplaces 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 or 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 pleas 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 1. (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

[[Page 16575]]

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:

Place of Performance (Street address, city, county, state, zip code)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Check {time}  if there are workplaces on file that are not 
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.

RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS

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,'' provided 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 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.
    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

Certification Regarding Environmental Tobacco Smoke

    Public Law 103227, Part C Environmental Tobacco Smoke, also 
known as the Pro Children Act of 1994, 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 any administrative compliance order on the 
responsibility 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 standards which 
contain provisions for the children's services and that all 
subgrantees shall certify accordingly.

Attachment G

    It is estimated that in 2001 the Federal Government will outlay 
$305.6 billion in grants to State and local governments. Executive 
Order 12372, ``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs,'' was 
issued with the desire to foster the intergovernmental partnership 
and strengthen federalism by relying on State and local processes 
for the coordination and review of proposed Federal financial 
assistance and direct Federal development. The Order allows each 
State to designate an entity to perform this function. Below is the 
official list of those entities. For those States that have a home 
page for their designated entity, a direct link has been provided 
below. States that are not listed on this page have chosen not to 
participate in the intergovernmental review process, and therefore 
do not have a SPOC. If you are located within one of these States, 
you may still send application materials directly to a Federal 
awarding agency.
