National Cancer Prevention and Control Program: Notice of 
Availability of Funds; Amendment

    A notice announcing the availability of Fiscal Year 2002 funds for 
cooperative agreements for the National Cancer Prevention and Control 
Program was published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2002, (67 FR 
19932). The notice is amended as follows:
    Page 19933, Column 1, Paragraph ``C. Availability of Funds,'' the 
following clarification is added: ``Note: Awards under this program 
announcement will be on or about September 30, 2002 and will be made 
for a nine-month budget period for the first year which will end on 
June 29, 2003. As a result, the budget for the first year will reflect 
work for nine months, and subsequent years budgets will be for 12 
months. As programs are funded on an annual basis, grantees under NCCCP 
and NBCCEDP may consider requesting additional funds in an amount 
equivalent to a 12-month award. The itemized budget for the first year 
must include a description and justification for the request. Breast 
and Cervical Cancer Programs are cautioned that the request must comply 
with the 60/40 distribution required under the program. This statement 
does not apply to NPCR programs since 3 month cost extensions under 
current grants for the period July 1, 2002 through September 29, 2002 
were already funded with current year funding.''

Indian Tribal governments and Tribal organizations, urban Indian

Native health and which represent the Native population in their 
catchment area.''

about February 28th. (Specific guidance with exact dates, will be 
provided in future years.) At that time, eligible applicants may 
apply.''

supportive of the other.''
