B. Grant Review Standards
1. All applications for grants must be
delivered to RUS at the address
specified in this notice, or submitted
electronically to https://www.grants.gov/
(Grants.gov) to be eligible for funding.
RUS will review each application for
conformance with the provisions of this
part. RUS may contact the applicant for
additional information or clarification.
2. Applications conforming with this
part will be evaluated competitively by
RUS employees, and will be awarded
points as described in the Delta Health
Care Services Grant Application Guide.
Applications will be ranked and grants
awarded in rank order until all grant
funds are expended.
3. Regardless of the score an
application receives, if RUS determines
that the Project is technically or
financially infeasible, the Agency will
notify the applicant, in writing, and the
application will be returned and will
not be considered for funding.
C. Scoring Guidelines
1. The applicant’s self scores in
Rurality will be checked and, if
necessary, corrected by RUS.
2. The Community Needs and
Benefits derived from the project score
will be determined by RUS based on

Jkt 223001
information presented in the
application. The Community Needs and
Benefits score is a subjective score based
on the reviewer’s assessment of the
supporting arguments made in the
application. The score aims to assess
how the project’s purpose and goals
benefit the residents in the Delta Region.
3. The Project Management and
Organization Capability score will be
determined by RUS based on
information presented in the
application. RUS will evaluate the
applicant’s experience, past
performance, and accomplishments
addressing health care issues to ensure
effective project implementation.
D. Selection Process
Grant applications are ranked by final
score. RUS selects applications based on
those rankings, subject to availability of
funds. Rural Development has the
authority to limit the number of
applications selected in any one state, or
from any applicant.
VII. Award Administration Information
A. Award Notices
RUS recognizes that each funded
project is unique, and therefore may
attach conditions to different projects’
award documents. The Agency
generally notifies applicants whose
projects are selected for awards by
faxing an award letter. The Agency
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 Section V of this
notice and the Delta Health Care
Services Grant Application Guide and
accompanying materials implement the
appropriate administrative and national
policy requirements.
C. Performance Reporting
All recipients of Delta Health Care
Services Grant Program financial
assistance 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.
D. Recipient and Subrecipient Reporting
The applicant must have the
necessary processes and systems in
place to comply with the reporting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The survey obtains the distribution of
expenditures incurred by recipients of
biomedical research awards from the
National Institutes of Health Research
(NIH) and will provide information on
how the NIH award amounts are
expended across several major
categories. This information, along with
wage and price data from other
published sources, will be used to
generate the Biomedical Research and
Developmental Price Index (BRDPI).
BEA develops this index for NIH under
a reimbursable contract. The BRDPI is
an index of prices paid for the labor,
supplies, equipment, and other inputs
required to perform the biomedical
research the NIH supports in its
intramural laboratories and through its
awards to extramural organizations. The
BRDPI is a vital tool for planning the
NIH research budget and analyzing
future NIH programs. A survey of award
recipient entities is currently the only
means for updating the expenditure
categories that are used to prepare the
BRDPI.
II. Authority
This survey will be voluntary. The
authority for NIH to collect information
for the BRDPI is provided in 45 CFR
subpart C, Post-Award Requirements,
section 74.21. This sets forth explicit
standards for grantees in establishing
and maintaining financial management
systems and records, and section 74.53
which provides for the retention of such
records as well as NIH access to such
records.
BEA will administer the survey and
analyze the survey results on behalf of
NIH, through an interagency agreement
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18517
between the two agencies. The authority
for the NIH to contract with DOC to
make this collection is the Economy Act
(31 U.S.C. 1535 and 1536).
The ‘‘Special Studies’’ authority, 15
U.S.C. 1525 (first paragraph), permits
DOC to provide, upon the request of any
person, firm or public or private
organization (a) Special studies on
matters within the authority of the
Department of Commerce, including
preparing from its records special
compilations, lists, bulletins, or reports,
and (b) furnishing transcripts or copies
of its studies, compilations and other
records. BEA has programmatic
authority to perform this work pursuant
to 15 U.S.C. 1527a. NIH’s support for
this research is consistent with the
Agency’s duties and authority under 42
U.S.C. 282.
The information provided by the
respondents will be held confidential
and be used for exclusively statistical
purposes. This pledge of confidentiality
is made under the Confidential
Information Protection provisions of
title V, subtitle A, Public Law 107–347.
Title V is the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (CIPSEA). Section 512 (on
Limitations on Use and Disclosure of
Data and Information) of the Act,
provides that ‘‘data or information
acquired by an agency under a pledge of
confidentiality and for exclusively
statistical purposes shall be used by
officers, employees, or agents of the
agency exclusively for statistical
purposes. Data or information acquired
by an agency under a pledge of
confidentiality for exclusively statistical
purposes shall not be disclosed by an
agency in identifiable form, for any use
other than an exclusively statistical
purpose, except with the informed
consent of the respondent.’’
Responses will be kept confidential
and will not be disclosed in identifiable
form to anyone other than employees or
agents of BEA without prior written
permission of the person filing the
report. By law, each employee as well
as each agent is subject to a jail term of
up to 5 years, a fine of up to $250,000,
or both for disclosing to the public any
identifiable information that is reported
about a business or institution.
Section 515 of the Information
Quality Guidelines applies to this
survey. The collection and use of this
information complies with all
applicable information quality
guidelines, i.e., those of the Office of
Management and Budget, Department of
Commerce, and BEA.
