Sec. 90.1  General.


    (a) This part implements certain provisions of the Violence Against 
Women Act (VAWA), which was enacted by title IV of the Violent Crime 
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Pub. L. No. 103-322 (Sept. 13, 
1994).
    (b) Subpart B of this part defines program eligibility criteria and 
sets forth requirements for application for and administration of 
formula grants to States to combat violent crimes against women. This 
Program under the VAWA was enacted as a new ``part T'' of title I of the 
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (the Omnibus Act), 
codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796gg through 3796gg-5. Offices and agencies of 
State government, units of local government, Indian tribal governments, 
and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim services programs are eligible to 
apply for subgrants from this Program.
    (c) Indian tribal governments are eligible to receive assistance as 
part of the State program pursuant to subpart B of this part. In 
addition, Indian tribal governments may apply directly for discretionary 
grants under subpart C of this part.
