Targeted Capacity Expansion Grant Program Funding Decisions

AGENCY: Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice regarding SAMHSA/CSAT's funding decision-making process, 
interest in making grant awards to eligible entities in States that do 
not currently have CSAT Targeted Capacity Expansion funding, and intent 
to revise Program Announcement.

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

    This notice is to inform the public that it is SAMHSA/CSAT's intent 
to ensure the broadest possible distribution of Targeted Capacity 
Expansion program funds across the United States. Therefore, the number 
of awards to applicants from any one State may be limited in order to 
ensure that applicants from States with few or no grant awards will 
have an opportunity to receive funding for proposed projects that are 
deemed worthy of funding via the peer and National Advisory Council 
review processes.
    This notice is also to inform the public that SAMHSA/CSAT is 
interested in receiving applications from units of local (cities, 
towns, counties) governments and Indian Tribes and tribal organizations 
in States that do not currently have a Targeted Capacity Expansion 
award. States in which no eligible entities currently have an award 
are: Delaware; Georgia; Hawaii; Kansas; Minnesota; Nevada; Utah; U.S. 
Virgin Islands; and Vermont.
    Eligibility and programmatic requirements for the Targeted Capacity 
Expansion program are included in the funding announcement (PA 00-001) 
published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2000. However, 
potential applicants should be aware that SAMHSA/CSAT intends to revise 
the program guidelines and reissue the Targeted Capacity Expansion 
funding announcement immediately following the May 10, 2002, receipt 
date for applications. The revised guidelines will be announced in the 
Federal Register and will be available for downloading from SAMHSA's 
Web site-www.samhsa.gov.
    Copies of the current Part I--Programmatic Guidance for Targeted 
Capacity Expansion (PA 00-001) and Part II--General Policies and 
Procedures Applicable to all SAMHSA Applications for Discretionary 
Grants and Cooperative Agreements may be downloaded from SAMHSA's Web 
site-www.samhsa.gov, or may be ordered from the National Clearinghouse 
for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI), phone number 800-729-6686.
    The program contact for additional information is: James M. 
Herrell, Ph.D., Center for Substance Abuse Treatment/SAMHSA, Rockwall
