Factors
See 15 CFR 2301.4 and the

Cost Sharing Requirements

other television, radio and nonbroadcast
projects at a 50 per cent federal share.
NTIA can fund planning applications
up to 100 per cent of the eligible project
costs, but has established a policy of
funding planning applications at a 75
per cent Any applicant can request
federal funding greater than PTFP’s
policy, up to the statutory maximum,
and provide justification for the request.
Intergovernmental Review
PTFP applications are subject to
Executive Order 12372,
‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal
Programs,’’ if the state in which the
applicant organization is located
participates in the process. Usually
submission to the State Single Point of
Contact (SPOC) needs to be only the SF
424 and PTFP–2 pages of the
application, but applicants should
contact their own SPOC offices to find
out about and comply with its
requirements. The PTFP Internet site
has a link to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) home page which
has the names and addresses of the
SPOC offices. Applicants may directly
access the OMB Internet site at (https://
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/
spoc.html). Printed copies of the SPOC
list are available from PTFP.
Universal Identifier
All applicants (nonprofit, state, local
government, universities, and tribal
organizations) will be required to
provide a Dun and Bradstreet Data
Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
number during the application process.
See the October 30, 2002 (67 FR 66177)
and April 8, 2003 (68 FR 17000) Federal
Register notices for additional
information. Organizations can receive a
DUNS number at no cost by calling the
dedicated toll-free DUNS Number
request line 1–866–705–5711 or via the
Internet (https://
www.dunandbradstreet.com).

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification of Requirements for

Commerce be responsible for proposal
preparation costs if this program fails to
receive funding or is cancelled because
of other agency priorities. Publication of

agency to award any specific project or
to obligate any available funds.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any other provision
of the law, no person is required to
respond to, nor shall any person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with, a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the Paperwork

collection displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. The PTFP

Executive Order 13132
It has been determined that this notice
does not contain policies with
Federalism implications as that term is
defined in Executive Order 13132.
Administrative Procedure Act/
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Prior notice and opportunity for
public comment are not required by the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other law for this rule concerning
grants, benefits, and contracts (5 U.S.C.
553(a)(2)). Because notice and
opportunity for comment are not
required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law, the analytical requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore,
a regulatory flexibility analysis has not
been prepared.
