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
[[Page 22182]]
Sec. 1627.4(b)'s notice requirement for the Basic Field Grant program.
Only current or prospective recipients of LSC Basic Field Grants may
apply for approval to subgrant these funds.
Applications for approval to make subgrants of 2024 mid-year and
calendar year 2025 Basic Field Grant funds will be available on or
around April 15, 2024. An applicant must apply to make a mid-year
subgrant of LSC Basic Field Grant funds through GrantEase at least 45
days before the subgrant's proposed effective date. 45 CFR
1627.4(b)(2). An applicant must apply to make calendar year subgrants
of 2025 Basic Field Grant funds through GrantEase in conjunction with
its application(s) for 2025 Basic Field Grant funding. 45 CFR
1627.4(b)(1). The deadline for 2025 Basic Field Grant funding
application submissions is June 3, 2024.
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 to renew a subgrant with an organization that
is not a current LSC grantee in a year in which the applicant is
required to submit a full funding application, 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); and
<bullet> The recipient's 45 CFR part 1627 policy (required under 45
CFR 1627.7).
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 or approve an application for a 2024 mid-
year subgrant no later than the subgrant's proposed effective date. As
required by 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(1)(ii), LSC will inform applicants of its
decision to disapprove or approve a 2025 calendar-year subgrant no
later than the date LSC informs applicants of LSC's 2025 Basic Field
Grant funding decisions.
