PART 26--GRANTS TO STATES FOR ESTABLISHING YOUTH CONSERVATION CORPS PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 26.6  Request for grant.

    (a) Of the amount available for Youth Conservation Corps projects, 
30 percent will be allocated for State projects. All States will be 
given an opportunity to participate in the program. Allocated funds not 
needed by a State will be reallocated, based on the merit of proposals 
submitted in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section.
    (b) Pursuant to section (4)(c)(1) of Public Law 93-408, States may 
receive grants up to but not to exceed 80 percent of the cost of funding 
any project from the Federal Government. The combined Federal/State 
costs of individual projects and other program expenses as established 
in the grant application determine the Federal/State cost-sharing ratio. 
Matching State costs can consist of either direct expenditures or 
services of an in-kind nature.
    (c) Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424) will be 
used by applicants in applying for grants under this program. 
Application forms will be supplied to Program Agents. Only a Program 
Agent may submit an application. A single grant application must be 
submitted for the entire summer program within each State. A separate 
application must be used for non-summer projects. A non-summer project 
is defined as one which extends beyond September 30, or begins prior to 
May 1.
    (d) The Secretaries have designated individuals for each State who 
will jointly represent them. Grant applications (original and two 
copies) must be submitted to the designated reresentative of either 
Secretary. January 1 has been established as the deadline date for 
acceptance of applications for each operating year. Names and addresses 
of designated representatives will be furnished to each State. The 
Secretaries' representatives must jointly approve grant proposals. 
Approval or disapproval of proposals will be documented by a formal 
letter to the Program Agent. The Secretaries' representatives will also 
be available for technical assistance and will monitor the program.
