Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 37 / Thursday, February 24, 2011 / Notices 5. DLT grant applications which have non-fixed end-user sites, such as ambulance and home health care services, are now scored using a simplified scoring method that finds the relative rurality of the applicant’s entire service area. See the FY 2011 Application Guide for specific guidance on this method of scoring. When an application contains non-fixed sites, it must be scored using the non-fixed site scoring method. D. Selection Process 1. Grants. Applications are ranked by final score, and by application purpose (education or medical). RUS selects applications based on those rankings, subject to the availability of funds. RUS may allocate grant awards between medical and educational purposes, but is not required to do so. In addition, the Agency has the authority to limit the number of applications selected in any one State, or for one project, during a fiscal year. See 7 CFR 1703.127. VI. Award Administration Information emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES A. Award Notices RUS generally notifies by mail applicants whose projects are selected for awards. The Agency follows the award letter with an agreement that contains all the terms and conditions for the grant. A copy of the standard agreement is posted on the RUS Web site at https://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ UTP_DLTResources.html. The agreement will be updated for FY 2011 grants to incorporate new regulatory requirements for grant agreements pertaining to Central Contractor Registration and DUNS numbers (2 CFR Subtitle A, chapter 1, and part 25, Financial Assistance Use of Universal Identifier and Central Contractor Registration) and subawards and executive compensation (2 CFR part 170 RIN 0348–AB61, Requirements for Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Implementation). An applicant must execute and return the agreement, accompanied by any additional items required by the agreement, within the number of days shown in the selection notice letter. B. Administrative and National Policy Requirements The items listed in Section IV of this notice, and the DLT Program regulation, FY 2011 Application Guide and accompanying materials implement the appropriate administrative and national policy requirements. C. Reporting 1. Performance reporting. All recipients of DLT financial assistance VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:21 Feb 23, 2011 Jkt 223001 must provide annual performance activity reports to RUS 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 in meeting DLT Program objectives. See 7 CFR 1703.107. 2. Financial reporting. All recipients of DLT financial assistance must provide an annual audit, beginning with the first year in which a portion of the financial assistance is expended.

sites under the ASF, and the applicant proposes that Site 3 be so 
exempted. The applicant is also requesting that Sites 2 and 4 be
