Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services.
SUMMARY: The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Substance 
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is publishing 
this notice to provide information to the public concerning a planned 
single source cooperative agreement supplemental award in the amount of 
$300,000 in FY 2002, for a project period of one year, to the District 
of Columbia State Incentive Grant Program, to fund Best Friends Youth 
Development Program and ``Marriage is Manly'' Media Campaign. This is 
not a formal request for applications. Assistance will be provided only 
to the District of Columbia State Incentive Grant for the sole purpose 
of funding the Best Friends Foundation based on the receipt of a 
satisfactory application that is approved by an independent review 
group.
    Authority/Justification: The grant will be made under the authority 
of Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act 93.243, as amended. 
This award is being made on a single source basis because the Best 
Friends Foundation has a record of success and is a long-term youth-
development program that encompasses a myriad of activities for youth 
development including advocating sexual abstinence and prevention of 
alcohol and drug abuse. Its work can be categorized as education, youth 
development, health, family development, neighborhood revitalization 
and welfare reform. The expansion of these activities to focus on men 
is appropriate as Best Friends Foundation's work with girls has been so 
successful. Making the award to another entity would require additional 
start-up time and costs, significant loss of critical information, as 
well as duplication of previously completed work.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for this 
program is 93.243.

Prevention (CSAP), SAMHSA, Room 930, Rockwall II Building, 5600 Fishers
