SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 45 CFR part 1627, LSC must publish, on
an annual basis, ``notice of the requirements concerning the format and
contents of the application annually in the Federal Register and on
LSC's 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 LSC Special Grant programs. Only current or
prospective recipients of LSC Special Grants may apply for approval to
subgrant these funds.
An applicant must submit an application to make a subgrant of LSC
Special Grant funds at least 45 days in advance of the subgrant's
proposed effective date. 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(2).
[[Page 46024]]
All applicants must provide answers to the application questions in
GrantEase and upload the following documents:
<bullet> A draft subgrant agreement (with the required terms
provided in LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template); and
<bullet> A subgrant budget (using LSC's Subgrant Budget Template).
Applicants seeking to subgrant to a new subrecipient that is not a
current LSC grantee or applying to renew a subgrant with an
organization that is not a current LSC grantee in a year in which the
applicant was not already required to submit the documents listed below
as a part of an application to subgant LSC Basic Field funds, must also
upload:
<bullet> The subrecipient's accounting manual;
<bullet> The subrecipient's most recent audited financial
statements;
<bullet> The subrecipient's current cost allocation policy (if not
in the accounting manual);
<bullet> The subrecipient's 45 CFR 1635.3(c) recordkeeping policy
(if not in the accounting manual).
A list of subgrant application questions, the Subgrant Agreement
Template, and the Subgrant Budget Template are available on LSC's
website at <a href="http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant">http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant</a>.
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 the application and provide
applicants with instructions on any needed modifications to the
submitted documents or Draft Agreement provided with the application.
The applicant must then upload a final and signed subgrant agreement
through GrantEase by the date requested.
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 no later than the subgrant's proposed effective date.
Dated: August 12, 2021.

Senior Assistant General Counsel.
