The funding thresholds for this program will be revised to reflect ANA’s availability of funds within this special initiative program area. These thresholds allow ANA to provide funding to the maximum number of applicants. (Legal authority: Section 803(a) and (d) and 803C of the Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2991 band 2991b–3.) viii. Project Periods. The project periods reflect the review and assessment of projects monitored under this special initiative program area. These project periods allow ANA to provide funding to the maximum number of applicants. (Legal authority: Section 803(a) and (d) and 803C of the Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2991b and 2991b–3.) In the FY 08 PA, project periods will be: • Priority Area 1—Planning: 12 months. • Priority Area 2—Implementation: 36 months. (C) ANA SEDS: In the FY 2008 PA for both priority areas, the program areas of interest (PAI) for social development projects changed. The Administration for Children and Families has expanded the focus of healthy marriage to include responsible fatherhood activities. In order to eliminate redundancy, this activity was added to the NAHMI PA. The grandparents PAI was included to promote inter-generational programs. (Legal authority: Section 803(a) and (d) and 803C of the Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2991b and 2991b–3.) The FY 2008 PA will replace the fatherhood PAI with the following: • Projects that address the needs of grandparents raising grandchildren. (D) ANA Mitigation: The FY 2008 PA removes all definitions related to inkind contributions, including in-kind contributions, leveraged resources, partnerships, and letters of commitment. Furthermore, the required number of impact indicators is reduced to one. These changes are reflective of Public Law 103–335 which does not require matching funds. (Legal authority: Section 803(a) and (d) and 803C of the Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2991b and 2991b–3 and Public Law 103–335.)
