Preapplication Coordination
The standard application forms as furnished by the Federal agency, in accordance with 28 CFR, Part 66 (Common Rule), must be used for this program. An environmental impact assessment is necessary for this program to determine if an environmental impact statement is required. This program is eligible for coverage under E.O. 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs." An applicant should consult the office or official designated as the single point of contact in his or her State for more information on the process the State requires to be followed in applying for assistance, if the State has selected the program for review.
Note:
This section indicates whether any prior coordination or approval is required with governmental or nongovernmental units
prior to the submission of a formal application to the federal funding agency.
Appeals
Hearings held by OJJDP. Technical assistance: Federal Acquisition Regulations apply.
Note:
In some cases, there are no provisions for appeal. Where applicable, this section discusses appeal procedures or allowable rework time for resubmission
of applications to be processed by the funding agency. Appeal procedures vary with individual programs and are either listed in this section or
applicants are referred to appeal procedures documented in the relevant Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Renewals
Comprehensive Plan submission required every 3 years. Annual updates and applications required each of the other 2 years. Technical Assistance: Contracts are renewed throughout contract modifications and competition processes.
Note:
In some instances, renewal procedures may be the same as for the application procedure, e.g., for projects of a non-continuing nature renewals will be treated as new, competing applications; for projects of an ongoing nature, renewals may be given annually.
