Application Forms on LSC's Web site satisfies Sec.  1627.4(b)'s notice 
requirement for the Basic Field Grant program. Only current or 
prospective LSC grantees may apply. Notices regarding the subgrant 
application processes for subgranting 2018 LSC funds will be 
forthcoming.
    Applications for subgrants of 2017 Basic Field Grant funds with

submitted at least 45 days in advance of the proposed effective date. 
45 CFR 1627.4(b)(3).
    Subgrant applications must be submitted through LSC Grants at 
https://lscgrants.lsc.gov. Applicants may access the application under 
the ``Subgrants'' heading on their LSC Grants home page. Applicants may 
initiate an application by selecting ``Initiate Subgrant Application.'' 
Applicants must then provide the information requested in the LSC 
Grants data fields, located in the Subrecipient Profile, Subgrant 
Summary, and Subrecipient Budget screens, and upload the following 
documents:
     A draft Subgrant Agreement (with the required terms 
provided in Subgrant Application Form A);
     Subgrant Inquiry Form B (for new subgrants) or C (for 
renewal subgrants);
     The subrecipient's accounting manual (or letter indicating 
that the subrecipient does not have one and why);
     The subrecipient's most recent audited financial statement 
(or letter indicating that the subrecipient does not have one and why);
     The subrecipient's most recent Form 990 filed with the IRS 
(or letter indicating that the subrecipient does not have one and why);
     The subrecipient's current fidelity bond coverage (or 
letter indicating that the subrecipient does not have one);
     The subrecipient's conflict of interest policy (or letter

    Subgrant Application Forms A, B, and C are available on LSC's Web 
site at http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant.
    LSC encourages applicants to use LSC's Subgrant Agreement Form as a 
model subgrant agreement. If the applicant does not use LSC's Subgrant 
Agreement Form, the proposed agreement must include, at a minimum, the 
substance of the provisions in that form. LSC recommends that 
applicants pay careful attention to the terms included in, and 
instructions on, the Subgrant Agreement Form. Several of the terms have 
been modified from previous years and new terms have been added. LSC 
subgrant agreements effective after June 1, 2017 must reflect those 
modifications.
    Once submitted, LSC will evaluate the application and provide 
applicants with instructions on any needed modifications to the 
information, documents, or Draft Agreement provided with the 
application. The applicant must then upload a final and signed subgrant 
agreement through LSC Grants. This can be done by selecting ``Upload 
Signed Agreement'' to the right of the application ``Status'' under the 
``Subgrant'' heading on an applicant's LSC Grants home page.
    As required by 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(3), LSC will inform applicants of 
its decision to disapprove, approve, or request modifications to the 
subgrant by no later than the subgrant's proposed effective date.
