Notice to LSC Grantees of Application Process for Subgranting 
Disaster Relief Grant Funds for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria and 
the 2017 California Wildfires

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of application dates and format for applications to 
subgrant Disaster Relief Grant Funds for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and 
Maria and the 2017 California Wildfires (``2017 Hurricanes and 
California Wildfires Grant'').

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is the national 
organization charged with administering Federal funds provided for 
civil legal services to low-income people. LSC hereby announces the 
submission dates for applications to make subgrants of LSC 2017 
Hurricanes and California Wildfires Grant funds. LSC is also providing 
information about where applicants may locate subgrant application 
forms and directions for providing the information required to apply 
for a subgrant.

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for application dates.

ADDRESSES: Legal Services Corporation--Office of Compliance and 
Enforcement, 3333 K Street NW, Third Floor, Washington, DC 20007-3522.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Megan Lacchini, Office of Compliance 
and Enforcement by email at [email protected], or visit the LSC website 
at http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 45 CFR part 1627, LSC must publish, on 
an annual basis, ``notice of the requirements concerning the format and 
contents of [applications to make subgrants of LSC funds] annually in 
the Federal Register and on its website.'' 45 CFR 1627.4(b). This 
Notice and the publication of the Subgrant Application on LSC's website 
satisfy Sec.  1627.4(b)'s notice requirement for the LSC 2017 
Hurricanes and California Wildfires Grant program. Only current or 
prospective recipients of LSC funds and applicants for LSC's 2017 
Hurricanes and California Wildfires Grants may apply for approval to 
subgrant these funds.
    Considering the emergency nature of the grants, subgrant 
applications may be submitted before or after a grant applicant 
receives a 2017 Hurricanes and California Wildfires Grants award 
notice. Applications received after the grant award notice is issued 
must be submitted at least 45 days in advance of the subgrant's 
proposed effective date. LSC grantees may subgrant up to $20,000 in LSC 
funds without submitting an application for prior approval. 45 CFR 
1627.4(a)(1). All subgrants of LSC funds, however, are subject to LSC's 
regulations, guidelines, and instructions.
    Subgrant applications must be submitted 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 LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template).
    Applicants seeking to subgrant to an organization that is not a 
current LSC grantee must also upload:
     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 
indicating that the subrecipient does not have one); and

[[Page 24360]]

     The subrecipient's whistleblower policy (or letter 
indicating that the subrecipient does not have one).
    LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template is available on LSC's website at 
http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant.
    LSC encourages applicants to use LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template 
as a model subgrant agreement. If the applicant does not use LSC's 
Template, the proposed agreement must include, at a minimum, the 
substance of the provisions of the Template.
    Once submitted, LSC will evaluate applications and provide 
applicants with instructions on any needed modifications to the 
information, documents, or Draft Agreement provided with the 
application. The applicants must then upload final and signed subgrant 
agreements 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.
    For subgrant applications submitted by July 17, 2018, LSC will 
inform applicants of its decision to approve, disapprove, or request 
modifications to the subgrant by the end of August 2018. LSC will 
inform all other applicants of its decision by no later than the 
subgrant's proposed effective date. 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(2).

    Dated: May 21, 2017.

Assistant General Counsel.
