Sec. 51b.407  How can grant funds be used?

    Grant funds awarded under this subpart may be used only for programs 
approved under section 318(c), and with respect to public information

maintaining central registries, purchasing data processing equipment, or 
providing diagnostic and treatment facilities and services. The 
applicant must provide assurances, however, that these services will be 
available as needed as an adjunct to control program activities 
supported with grant funds. To obtain special approval for grant support 
of such activities, the grantee shall justify the exception to the 
satisfaction of the Secretary that funds for this purpose are necessary 
for the proper conduct of the program and are otherwise unavailable. 
Support of these services will generally be approved only in the 
following situations:
    (a) Special studies or demonstrations, (b) the support of 
developmental or start-up activity, or (c) the support of an essential 
service which will result in a savings to a detection or prevention 
activity supported by the grant. Unless otherwise approved, exceptions 
based on paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section are only allowed during 
one funding period. The grantee is expected to support these activities 
in subsequent funding periods.
