The ACF Director of Office of Grants

45 CFR 99.15 allows recognition of
other individuals or groups as parties ‘‘if
the issues to be considered at the
hearing have directly caused them
injury and their interests to be protected
by the governing Federal statute and
regulations.’’ This Federal Register
notice serves as notification to other
parties who may have interest in this
hearing. Individuals or groups desiring
to participate as parties should submit
a petition in writing to presiding officer,
Latasha Abney, at the address above
within 15 days of publication of this
notice. Such petition shall concisely
state (i) Petitioner’s interest in the
proceeding; (ii) Who will appear for
petitioner; (iii) The issues on which
petitioner wishes to participate; and (iv)
Whether petitioner intends to present
witnesses. A copy of the petition must
also be served on ITCN Executive
Director, Deserea Quintana at
dquintana@itcn.org. The presiding
officer will promptly determine whether
each petitioner has the requisite interest
and shall permit or deny participation
accordingly.
45 CFR 99.22 allows parties to (a)
Appear by counsel or other authorized
representative, in all hearing
proceedings; (b) Participate in any
prehearing conference held by the
presiding officer; (c) Agree to
stipulations as to facts which will be
made a part of the record; (d) Make

groups recognized as parties shall have
the right to conduct discovery
(including depositions) against

opposing parties,’’ and that Rules 26–37
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
shall apply to discovery proceedings.
Pursuant to 45 CFR 99.32, at the
conclusion of the hearing and
completion of post-hearing briefs, if any,
the presiding officer shall certify the
record and provide recommended
finding and a proposed decision to the
Assistant Secretary. Any party will then
have 20 days to file exceptions and a
supporting brief or statement with the
Assistant Secretary. The decision of the
Assistant Secretary shall be the final
agency action on the matter.
All written material provided by ACF,
ITCN, and any other recognized party
will be included in the administrative
record.
