    6. Data Universal Numbering System Number, Taxpayer Identification

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.
    7. Other Submission Requirements: Applications for grants under 
this competition must be submitted electronically unless you qualify

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 
receive a multi-year award, you must submit an annual performance 
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.
