SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) hereby
gives notice to the public that the following program within the Agency
will administratively impose a matching requirement on grants awarded
under the following program title and funding opportunity announcement
for Fiscal Year 2010:

Youth and Families-- -CA-0022. Reduce Long-Term Training. Total Approved
Children's Bureau. Foster Care. Project Cost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historically, ACF has found that the imposition of a matching
requirement on awards under certain programs result in an increased
level of community support and, often, a higher profile in the
community. This can contribute to the success and sustainability of the
project. The Fiscal Year 2010 funding opportunity announcement for the
Initiative to Reduce Long-Term Foster Care program will advise
applicants on the percentage of funds that must be contributed through
non-Federal resources, the composition of the match, and whether the
merit of the match will be taken into consideration as a criterion in
the competitive review. The administratively imposed matching
requirement will apply only to new grants and their continuation
grants, awarded under funding opportunity announcement HHS-2010-ACF-
ACYF-CA-0022.
This matching requirement does not represent an addition to any
existing matching requirements on awards made under other funding
opportunity announcements issued in Fiscal Year 2008 or before. The
amount and acceptable types of non-Federal resources allowed is not
negotiable. However, matching may be provided as direct or indirect
costs. Specific information related to the matching requirement and the
competitive review process will be provided in the published funding
opportunity announcement. Any unmatched Federal funds will be
disallowed. Costs borne by matching contributions are subject to the
regulations governing allowability found under 45 CFR 74.23 and 45 CFR
92.24.
Notices of planned grant opportunities proposed by HHS's Operating
Divisions are available at the HHS Forecast Web site. Each Forecast
record contains actual or estimated dates and funding levels for grants
that the agency intends to award during the fiscal year. Additional
details about ACF planned FY 2010 funding opportunity announcements can
be found on the Grants Forecast Web site at http://www.hhs.gov/grantsforecast/.
Published ACF funding opportunity announcements are available on
