SUMMARY: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), an
Operating Division of HHS, announces
the opportunity for public comment on
its initial transition plan to implement
required electronic submission of
Federal discretionary grant applications
and official grant file documents. In
accordance with e-Government
initiatives mandated by the Federal
Financial Assistance Management
Improvement Act of 1999, Public Law
106–107, ACF officially acknowledges
that electronically generated and/or
stored documents are recognized
equivalents of an official paper grant
file. Recognizing the equivalency of
such documents eliminates duplicative
effort and administrative burden for
Federal grant applicants, recipients, and
the awarding agency, by facilitating the
submission and storage of official grant
files. The ACF transition plan will begin
with the required electronic submission
of discretionary grant applications.
ACF has previously afforded
applicants and recipients the option of
submitting Federal discretionary grant
applications in both electronic and
paper formats. This notice announces
that during the initial transition phase
and thereafter, discretionary grant
applicants and recipients are now
required to submit competing, and noncompeting continuation, grant
applications electronically. The
electronic portals used to support this
effort are https://www.Grants.gov and
https://www.GrantSolutions.gov.
Electronic Submission of Discretionary
Grant Applications
• Competing Grant Applications—
ACF will continue to post synopses of
planned discretionary Funding
Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) at
the HHS Grants Forecast Web site
https://www.hhs.gov/grantsforecast/and
synopses of published FOAs on https://
www.Grants.gov. Applicants will
continue to use https://www.Grants.gov
for their application submissions for
discretionary awards. Full ACF FOAs
are published at https://
www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/.
• Non-Competing Continuation Grant
Applications—Guidance will be
provided by ACF directly to existing
