VI. Award Administration Information
A. Award Notices
Rural Development recognizes that
each funded project is unique, and
therefore may attach conditions to
different projects’ award documents.
Rural Development generally notifies
applicants whose projects are selected
for awards by faxing an award letter.
Rural Development follows the award
letter with a grant agreement that
contains all the terms and conditions for
the grant. An applicant must execute
and return the grant agreement,
accompanied by any additional items
required by the grant agreement.
B. Administrative and National Policy
Requirements
The items listed in paragraph IV.B.2.k
of this notice, and the Community
Connect Grant Program regulation,
application guide and accompanying
materials implement the appropriate
administrative and national policy
requirements.
C. Reporting
1. Performance reporting. All
recipients of Community Connect Grant
Program financial assistance must
provide annual performance activity
reports to Rural Development until the
project is complete and the funds are
expended. A final performance report is
also required; the final report may serve
as the last annual report. The final
report must include an evaluation of the
success of the project. See 7 CFR
1739.19.
2. Financial reporting. All recipients
of Community Connect Grant Program
financial assistance must provide an
annual audit, beginning with the first
