SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title II, Part B of the Juvenile Justice and

formula grant funding available to the states for the juvenile justice 
purposes set forth in 42 U.S.C. 5633(a).
    For states that choose not to submit a Sec.  5633(a) plan or fail 
to submit such a plan, the Administrator of the Office of Juvenile 
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is authorized to make 
available, to local public and private nonprofit agencies within that 
state, formula funding for use in carrying out the core requirement 
activities specified in 42 U.S.C. 5633(a)(11),(12),(13) and (22). The 
purpose of this notice is to publish OJJDP's intent to make such an 
award, pursuant to the authority set forth in 42 U.S.C. 5633(d). This 
publication is intended to comply with the requirements set forth in 42 
U.S.C. 5633(d) and 28 CFR 31.301(e).

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5633(d).

    Notice: OJJDP hereby declares the agency's intention to award 
$1,229,950 in FY 2003-04 formula grant funds, available for the benefit 
of the State of Wyoming, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 5633(d), to the Wyoming 
County Commissioner's Association (WCCA). OJJDP issued an initial 
formula grant award to WCCA in FY 1998, and since that time has not 
been aware of any other applicant eligible to apply for and receive the 
subject funding. Unless OJJDP receives from another eligible entity an 
expression of interest in applying for the subject funding, this 
publication shall serve as formal notice of the issuance of the above 
described award to WCCA. Any such expressions of interest must be 
communicated in writing and received by OJJDP by November 28, 2005.
    Any entity submitting an expression of interest, in response to 
this Notice, must provide the following information:
    (1) Documentation of current and past experience with data 
collection and analysis pursuant to sections 223(a) (11), (12), and 
(13) of the JJDPA; and demonstration of ability to maintain an 
infrastructure to continue such collection and analysis.
    (2) Data showing Wyoming's rates of compliance with sections 223(a) 
(11), (12), and (13) of the JJDPA.
    (3) Documentation of efforts towards creating and implementing 
legislation and judicial policy related to sections 223(a) (11), (12), 
and (13) of the JJDPA and related regulations.
    (4) Documentation of ability and experience in providing training 
and technical assistance to local law enforcement and detention 
facility staff regarding the relevant sections of the JJDPA.
    Information provided in response to this Notice will be used by 
OJJDP to determine whether or not it would be appropriate to award the 
subject funding on a competitive basis.

    Dated: October 19, 2005.

Administrator, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
