Summary

To get a grant for a fiscal year, a State must send an application that follows several rules. The State’s plan must reach the Secretary by September 1 before the year the State wants money. The report for the previous year must reach the Secretary by December 1 of the grant year. The application must include all required funding agreements, be certified by the State’s chief executive, and include assurances that the State will follow the rules. It must also include the program plan, certain required information, the prior-year report, and any required recommendations or proof that those recommendations were met. The Secretary can also require the application be in whatever form and contain whatever agreements and assurances are needed to run the program. For U.S. territories other than Puerto Rico, the Secretary may waive some of these and related rules, but not the provisions in section 300x–5.
