Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 67 / Friday, April 6, 2012 / Notices Applicants will have only one submission method for proposals and applications to AMS—electronically through Grants.gov at https:// www.Grants.gov (enter 10.168 in grant search field). AMS strongly encourages the applicant to initiate the electronic submission process at least four weeks prior to the application deadline. In cases where an applicant error has been made in Grants.gov, an early submission will ensure the appropriate time for the applicant to resubmit the application. Grants.gov applicants are not required to submit any paper documents to FMPP. Any documents accompanying the application (acceptable written proof of eligibility, proposal narrative, budget(s), and other supporting documents) must be uploaded after item #15 (descriptive title of applicant’s project section) on the Grants.gov form SF–424. FMPP prefers that all accompanying documents and support materials be scanned as a single PDF file; however, other acceptable formats include MS– Word (for text documents) and MS– Excel (for spreadsheet documents). Failure to comply with this requirement will result in rejection of the application. FMPP will not accept corrections or additions to Grants.gov submissions, including corrections submitted by phone, fax, mail, hand-delivery, or electronic mail to AMS. All documentation accompanying each application must be submitted in the Grants.gov application package. The only means of making a correction or addition to a Grants.gov application is by re-submitting a new application prior to the deadline. AMS/FMPP staff will not extend the application deadline or accept any application after the deadline due to Grants.gov submission errors. Additionally, AMS/FMPP staff does not provide technical assistance with the Grants.gov related issues. Applicants experiencing problems in electronic submission of documentation must request assistance via the Grants.gov Web site, or telephone the Contact Center at 1–800–518–4726. Grants.gov will provide confirmation to the applicant that the application was submitted and received by AMS before the deadline. AMS will email the organization’s authorized representative (as listed on the SF–424) an explanation if the application is being rejected. FMPP is listed in the ‘‘Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance’’ under number 10.168. Subject agencies, including FMPP, must adhere to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:17 Apr 05, 2012 Jkt 226001 bars discrimination in all federally assisted programs.
