Sec. 63a.8  How long does grant support last?

    (a) The notice of the grant award specifies how long the Secretary 
intends to support the project without requiring the grantee to 
recompete for funds. This period, called the ``project period,'' will 
usually be for one to five years.
    (b) Generally, the grant will be initially for one year and 
subsequent continuation awards will be for one year at a time. A grantee 
must submit a separate application at the time and in the form and 
manner that the Secretary may require to have the support continued for 
each subsequent year. Decisions regarding continuation awards and the 
funding level of these awards will be made after consideration of such 
factors as the grantee's progress and management practices, and the 
availability of funds. In all cases, continuation awards require 
determination by the Secretary that continued funding is in the best 
interest of the Federal Government.
    (c) Neither the approval of any application nor the award of any 
grant commits or obligates the Federal Government in any way to make any 
additional, supplemental, continuation, or other award with respect to 
any approved application or portion of an approved application.
    (d) Any balance of federally obligated grant funds remaining 
unobligated by the grantee at the end of a budget period may be carried 
forward to the next budget period, for use as prescribed by the 
Secretary, provided that a continuation award is made. If at any time 
during a budget period it becomes apparent to the Secretary that the 
amount of Federal funds awarded and available to the grantee for that 
period, including any unobligated balance carried forward from prior 
periods, exceeds the grantee's needs for that period, the Secretary may 
adjust the amounts awarded by withdrawing the excess.
