Sec. 64.6  Awards.

    (a) Criteria. Within the limits of available funds, the Secretary 
may award training grants to carry out those projects which:
    (1) Are determined by the Secretary to be technically meritorious; 
and
    (2) In the judgment of the Secretary best promote the purpose of the 
grant program as authorized by section 472 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 286b-
3), the regulations of this part (see Sec. 64.1), and address program 
priorities.
    (b) Project period. (1) The notice of grant award specifies how long 
the Secretary intends to support the project without requiring the 
project to recompete for funds. This period, called the project period, 
will usually be for one to five years.
    (2) Generally, the grant will initially be for one year and 
subsequent continuation awards will also be for one year at a time. A 
grantee must submit a separate application 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 a 
determination by the Secretary that continued funding is in the best 
interest of the Federal Government.
    (3) 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.
    (4) 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 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.
