5. Funding Restrictions: We reference regulations outlining funding

6. Data Universal Numbering System Number, Taxpayer Identification
Number, and System for Award Management: To do business with the HHS,
you must--
a. Have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN);
b. Register both your DUNS number and TIN with the System for Award
Management (SAM) (formerly the Central Contractor Registry (CCR)), the
Government's primary registrant database;
c. Provide your DUNS number and TIN on your application; and
d. Maintain an active SAM registration with current information
while your application is under review by the Department and, if you
are awarded a grant, during the project period.
You can obtain a DUNS number from Dun and Bradstreet. A DUNS number
can be created within one to two business days.
If you are a corporate entity, agency, institution, or
organization, you can obtain a TIN from the Internal Revenue Service.
If you are an individual, you can obtain a TIN from the Internal
Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration. If you need a
new TIN, please allow 2-5 weeks for your TIN to become active.
The SAM registration process can take approximately seven business
days, but may take upwards of several weeks, depending on the
completeness and accuracy of the data entered into the SAM database by
an entity. Thus, if you think you might want to apply for Federal
financial assistance under a program administered by the Department,
please allow sufficient time to obtain and register your DUNS number
and TIN. We strongly recommend that you register early.

Note: Once your SAM registration is active, you will need to
allow 24 to 48 hours for the information to be available in
Grants.gov. and before you can submit an application through
Grants.gov.

If you are currently registered with SAM, you may not need to make
any changes. However, please make certain that the TIN associated with
your DUNS number is correct. Also note that you will need to update
your registration annually. This may take three or more business days.
Information about SAM is available at www.SAM.gov. To further
assist you with obtaining and registering your DUNS number and TIN in
SAM or updating your existing SAM account, we have prepared a SAM.gov
Tip Sheet, which you can find at: http://www.acl.gov/Funding_Opportunities/Grant_Apps/Register.aspx#SAM.
In addition, if you are submitting your application via Grants.gov,
you must (1) be designated by your organization as an Authorized
Organization Representative (AOR); and (2) register yourself with
Grants.gov as an AOR. Details on these steps are outlined at the
following Grants.gov Web page: www.grants.gov/web/grants/register.html.

this competition must be submitted electronically unless you qualify
for an exception to this requirement in accordance with the

grant application to us.
We will reject your application if you submit it in paper format
unless, as described elsewhere in this section, you qualify for one of
the exceptions to the electronic submission requirement and submit, no
later than two weeks before the application deadline date, a written

system--after 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application
deadline date. We do not consider an application that does not comply

The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the

strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline
date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov.

V. Application Review Information

1. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this competition
are from 34 CFR 366.27 and are listed in the application package.
2. Review and Selection Process: Final award decisions will be made
by the Administrator, ACL. In making these decisions, the Administrator
will take into consideration: Ranking of the review panel; reviews for
programmatic and grants management compliance; the reasonableness of
the estimated cost to the government considering the available funding
and anticipated results; and the likelihood that the proposed project
will result in the benefits expected. Under Section 75.205, item (3)
history of performance is an item that is reviewed.
In addition, in making a competitive grant award, the Administrator
of the Administration for Community Living also requires various
assurances including those applicable to Federal civil rights laws that
prohibit discrimination in programs or activities receiving Federal
financial assistance from the Department of Health and Human Services
45 CFR part 75.
3. Special Conditions: Under current 45 CFR part 75 the
Administrator of the Administration for Community Living may impose
special conditions and, in appropriate circumstances, high-risk
conditions on a grant if the applicant or grantee is not financially
stable; has a history of unsatisfactory performance; has a financial or
other management system that does not meet the standards in 45 CFR
parts 75, as applicable has not fulfilled the conditions of a prior
grant; or us otherwise not responsible.

VI. Award Administration Information

1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we send you a
Notice of Award (NOA); or we may send you an email containing a link to
access an electronic version of your NOA. We may notify you informally,
also.
If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding,
we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy requirements in the application
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and
include these and other specific conditions in the NOA. The NOA also
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a grant under this competition,
you must ensure that you have in place the necessary processes and
systems to comply with the reporting requirements in 45 CFR part 75
should you receive funding under the competition. This does not apply
if you have an exception under 45 CFR part 75.
(b) At the end of your project period, you must submit a final
performance report, including financial information, as directed by the
Administrator of the Administration for Community Living. If you

report that provides the most current performance and financial
expenditure information as directed by the Administrator of the
Administration for Community Living under 45 CFR part 75. All ILA
grantees will submit their annual and final reports through the ILA
online reporting system and as designated in the terms and conditions
of your NOA. The Administrator of the Administration for Community
Living may also require more frequent performance reports under 45 CFR
part 75. For specific requirements on reporting, please go to
www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: Pursuant to the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department measures outcomes in the
following three areas to evaluate the overall effectiveness of projects
funded under this competition: (1) The effectiveness of individual
services in enabling consumers to access previously unavailable
transportation, appropriate accommodations to receive health care
services, or assistive technology resulting in increased independence
in at least one significant life area; (2) the effectiveness of
individual services designed to help consumers move out of institutions
and into community-based settings; and (3) the extent to which projects
are participating in community activities to expand access to
transportation, health care, assistive technology, and housing for
individuals with disabilities in their communities. Grantees will be
required to report annually on the percentage of their consumers who
achieve their individual goals in the first two areas and on the
percentage of their staff, board members, and consumers involved in
community activities related to the third area.
5. Continuation Awards: In making a continuation award the
Administrator of the Administration for Community Living may consider,
under 45 CFR part 75, the extent to which a grantee has made
``substantial progress toward meeting the objective in its approved
application.'' This consideration includes the review of a grantee's
progress in meeting the targets and projected outcomes in its approved
application, and whether the grantee has expended funds in a manner
that is consistent with its approved application and budget. In making
a continuation grant, the Administrator also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable to Federal civil rights laws
that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities receiving
Federal financial assistance from the Department. Continuation funding
is also subject to availability of funds.
