a. Pre-application trainings,

government-wide policy and practice
that each FOA contain all of the detail
needed for an applicant to fully
understand the funding opportunity and
submit a complete and compliant
application. ANA has historically
conducted in-person pre-application
trainings through its Regional Technical
Assistance (TA) Centers and now
proposes possible additional preapplication teleconferences or webinars
related to its FOAs beginning in FY
2017. Joining and participating in any
pre-application in-person training,
teleconference, or webinar is voluntary
and only information provided in
published FOAs will be presented. ACF
policy requires that no additional
information that is not already provided
in the FOA can be disseminated after
FOAs have been published.
Participation in any of the preapplication training or informational
opportunities is voluntary and will not
affect award selection. Participants will
remain anonymous and, in the case of
in-person training, names of
participants will not be retained after
the training. Opting not to participate in
a pre-application in-person training,
teleconference, or webinar will not
affect eligibility, application scoring, or
the selection process. Applicants unable
to attend pre-application
teleconferences or webinars will be able
to access materials, recordings, or
transcripts on the ANA Web site at on
the Events section of the ANA Web site
at https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ana/events
after the teleconference or webinar has
concluded and no later than 30 days
prior to the application due date. ANA
has historically posted its PreApplication Guide to Developing and
Writing Your ANA Application that is
used in in-person pre-application
meetings and will continue to do so.
This resource can be found at https://
www.acf.hhs.gov/ana/resource/preapplication-training-manual. For the
dates, times, registration, and other
information for scheduled preapplication in-person trainings
applicants should contact the
appropriate regional Training and
Technical Assistance Provider at https://
www.acf.hhs.gov/ana/t-ta-regions-map.
This proposed policy and practice will
be reflected in Section I. Program
Description—Pre-Application
Teleconferences or Webinars of the
FOAs.
b. Application periods. ANA proposes
to reduce from 90 to 60 days the time
period applicants have to respond to all
FY 2017 FOAs because we have
determined, based on experience and
feedback provided by prior applicants
