of Indian Affairs (BIA), is soliciting grants from Off -Reservation 
Indian Organizations to establish and operate off-reservation Indian

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIA is the Federal agency charged with

Reservation Indian Organizations for title II Indian Child and Family 
Services Programs (subject to fund availability), to assist Indian 
Organizations in establishing and operating off-reservation Indian 
child and family service programs, which may include, but are not 
limited to:
    (1) a system for regulating, maintaining, and supporting Indian 
foster and adoptive homes, including a subsidy program under which 
Indian adoptive children may be provided support comparable to that for 
which they would be eligible as Indian foster children, taking into 
account the appropriate State standards of support for maintenance and 
medical needs;
    (2) the operation and maintenance of facilities and services for 
counseling and treatment of Indian families and Indian foster and 
adoptive children;
    (3) family assistance, including homemaker and home counselors, day 
care, afterschool care, and employment, recreational activities, and

I. Authority

    This ICWA grant is funding that is provided through non-recurring 
appropriations made by the Congress in its annual appropriations to the 
BIA. These funds are provided on a year-to-year basis and may or may 
not be provided in future years. In FY 2023, Congress appropriated a 
total of $2.0 million for off-reservation programs authorized by 
section 202 of ICWA (25 U.S.C. 1932), which reflects an increase of 
$500,000.00 above the FY 2022 funding level. The BIA will be 
distributing a total of $2.0 million to eligible Indian Organizations 
under this grant solicitation. Additional authorizing statutes for the 
program include:

 Section 202 of ICWA (25 U.S.C. 1932)
 Public Law 93-638, ISDEAA of 1975, as amended
 Public Law 101-630, The Indian Child Protection and Family 
Violence Prevention Act
 Public Law 114-165, Native American Children's Safety Act 
(NACSA) of 2016
 25 CFR part 23, ICWA
 25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq., ICWA of 1978

II. Eligibility

    This solicitation contains guidelines and instructions for writing 
and submitting a proposal. The BIA will use a competitive evaluation 
process. Eligibility for funding will be limited to activities that 
support and are consistent with the intent and activities outlined in 
the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) section 202 (25 U.S.C. 1932).
    Authorized Tribal organizations, as defined at 25 U.S.C. 5304(l) 
may apply individually or as a consortium for a grant under this 
notice. Indian Organization, solely for purpose of eligibility for 
grants, means any legally established group, association, partnership, 
corporation, or other legal entity which is owned or controlled by 
Indians, or a majority (51 percent or more) of whose members are 
Indians. A consortium is created by an agreement or association between 
two or more eligible applicants who enter into an agreement to 
administer a grant program and to provide services under the grant to 
Indian residents in a specific geographical area when its 
administratively feasible to provide an adequate level of service 
within the area. An applicant may not submit more than one application 
nor be the beneficiary of more than one grant under this notice.

III. Categories of Available Funding

    Category of funding will be under ICWA.

IV. Funding Limitations

V. Proposal Application Guidelines

A. Background

    On January 13, 1994, Indian Affairs (IA) published in the Federal 
Register (59 FR 2248) regulations revising 25 CFR part 23, the rules 
that govern the title II ICWA grant program. The announcement converted 
the previous competitive ICWA grant award process to initiate a 
noncompetitive award system for eligible federally recognized Tribes.
    In FY 1995, the eligible Tribes began to continuously access their 
recurring ICWA funds in the Tribal Priority Allocation (TPA) budget Sub 
activity section of the Tribe's budget system. The funding process 
managed centrally by IA for off-reservation Indian Organizations was 
discontinued after the conversion to the noncompetitive process for 
eligible federally recognized Tribes. The BIA last awarded the ICWA

[[Page 54646]]

off-reservation grants to Indian Organizations in FY 1994. Rather, some 
federally recognized Tribes have contracted with off-reservation Indian 
Organizations, if and where needed.
    In FY 2020, the Congress appropriated $1.0 million specifically to 
fund off-reservation programs authorized by section 202 of the ICWA (25 
U.S.C. 1932). In FY 2021, the Congress allocated again $1.0 million for 
the ICWA, to fund off-reservation programs authorized by section 202 of 
the ICWA (25 U.S.C. 1932) for the second consecutive fiscal year. In FY 
2022, Congress allocated $1.5 million for the ICWA, to fund off-
reservation programs authorized by section 202 of the ICWA (25 U.S.C. 
1932) for the third consecutive fiscal year. In FY 2023, Congress 
allocated 2 million, additional $500,000 for the ICWA, to fund off-
reservation programs authorized by section 202 of the ICWA (25 U.S.C. 
1932) for the fourth consecutive fiscal year. These are considered one-
time funding for the earmark as included in the four consecutive fiscal 
year appropriations act.

B. Items To Consider Before Preparing an Application, Funding 
Limitations, 2-Year Timeframes and No-Cost Extensions

    Awards are subject to available funding. The BIA's obligation under 
this solicitation notice is contingent on receipt of available 
appropriated funds. No liability on part of the U.S. Government for any 
payment may arise until funds are made available to the awarding 
officer for this grant. No liability may arise until the recipient 
receives notice of such availability and is confirmed in writing by the 
grants officer.

or Traditional Knowledge). Such information may be redacted at the 
Tribal government's discretion because information in the possession of 
the BIA or submitted to the BIA throughout the process, including final 
work product, constitutes Government records and may be subject to the 
disclosure to third parties under the Freedom of Information Act

Number of Copies
    The submitted proposal should account for the requirement that all 
final products be delivered in the format described above, one digital 
copy.

[[Page 54649]]

Excluded Entities
    Applicant entities identified in the SAM.gov Exclusions database as 
ineligible, prohibited/restricted or excluded from receiving Federal 
awards, certain subawards, and certain Federal assistance and benefits, 
will not be considered for Federal funding, as applicable to the 
funding being requested under this Federal program.
Registration in ASAP With BIA
    Although a Tribe or Indian Organization may be registered in in the 
ASAP already with another agency, it must be specifically enrolled with 
the BIA. To register in ASAP, an enrollment form must be completed and 
emailed to Jo Ann Metcalfe at [email protected]. As soon as the Tribe 
or Indian Organization is enrolled, a user ID will be emailed to the 
point of contact listed on the enrollment form. Next, a password will 
automatically be mailed by USPS to the Tribe or Indian Organization, 
but you can call the ASAP Help Desk at 855-868-0151 and press 2 then 3 
to reach an agent who can help to request a password via email to 
expedite the process. Upon receiving a password, you will then have 
access to your online ASAP account for setup. To complete the 
enrollment, call the ASAP Help Desk again and remain on the line with 
them while they assist you in setting up and linking the Tribe's 
banking information to BIA's Agency Locator Code (ALC/Region). BIA's 
ALC is 14200699. Once this is completed, you will receive a 
confirmation email and it will take the Treasury 5-10 business days to 
approve your ASAP enrollment with BIA. This process only needs to be 
done once and does not need to be regularly updated unless the 
individual who had the primary role for the Tribe or Tribal 
organization in ASAP set-up changes.
