The Secretary, after consulting with the designated State agency, is authorized to make grants to any public or nonprofit private agency, organization, or institutions (except Federal agencies and institutions) for paying in whole or part the costs of projects designed to carry out the purposes of this part. § 905.3 Application.

Any applicant eligible for a grant award under § 905.2 may file application therefor with the Secretary on such forms and in such detail as the Secretary may prescribe. Such application shall set forth adequately the nature, duration, purpose and plan of the project, the qualifications of the principal staff members to be responsible for the project, the total facilities and resources that will be available, a justification of the amount of the requested grant, and

such other pertinent information as the Secretary may require. The application shall be executed by an individual authorized to act for the applicant and to assume on behalf of the applicant the obligations imposed by the terms and conditions of any award, including the regulations of this part.

§ 905.4 Nondiscrimination and civil rights.

Attention is called to the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Section 601 provides that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance (42 U.S.C. section 2000d). The regulation implementing such Title VI has been issued by the Secretary with the approval of the President (Part 80 of this title) and is applicable to Federal financial assistance extended under this part.

Completed applications will be processed by the Administration on Aging for submission to a Technical Advisory Committee composed of persons appointed by the Secretary. The applicant may be requested to submit additional information either before or after consideration of the project by the Technical Advisory Committee. All projects which meet the legal requirements for a grant are submitted to the Technical Advisory Committee which makes recommendations to the Secretary. The Secretary then determines the action to be taken with respect to each project and notifies the applicant accordingly.

§ 905.6 Grant awards.

Within the limits of funds available for such purpose, the Secretary will award a grant to those applicants whose approved projects will in his judgment best promote the purposes of the Act and this part. All grant awards shall be in writing, shall set forth the amount of funds granted, and shall constitute for such amounts the encumbrance of Federal funds available for such purpose on the date of the award. The initial award shall also specify the project period for which support is contemplated if the activity is satisfactorily carried out and Federal funds are available. For con

tinuation support, grantees must make separate application in accordance with the provisions of this part.

§ 905.7 Payments.

(a) To the extent he deems it appropriate, the Secretary shall require the recipients of any grant under this part to contribute money, facilities, or services for carrying out the project.

(b) The Secretary shall from time to time make payments to a grantee of all or a portion of any grant award, either in advance or by way of reimbursement for expenses to be incurred or incurred in the project period, to the extent he determines such payments necessary to promote prompt initiation and advancement of the approved project. All such payments shall be recorded by the grantee in accounting records separate from all other fund accounts, including funds derived for other grant awards. Amounts paid shall be available for expenditure by the grantee in accordance with the regulations of this part throughout the project period subject to such limitations as the Secretary may prescribe.

§ 905.8 Termination.

A grant may be terminated in whole or in part at any time at the discretion of the Secretary. Noncancellable obligations properly incurred prior to the receipt of the notice of termination will be honored. The grantee shall be promptly notified of such termination in writing and given the reasons therefor. § 905.9

Reports.

The grantee shall make such reports to the Secretary in such form and containing such information as may reasonably be necessary to enable him to perform his functions under this part and shall keep such records and afford such access thereto as the Secretary may find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports.
