Sec. 437.10  Forms for applying for grants.


    (a) Scope. (1) This section prescribes forms and instructions to be 
used by governmental organizations (except hospitals and institutions of 
higher education operated by a government) in applying for grants. This 
section is not applicable, however, to formula grant programs that do 
not require applicants to apply for funds on a project basis.
    (2) This section applies only to applications to SSA for grants, and 
is not required to be applied by grantees in dealing with applicants for 
subgrants. However, grantees are encouraged to avoid more detailed or 
burdensome application requirements for subgrants.
    (b) Authorized forms and instructions for governmental 
organizations. (1) In applying for grants, applicants must only use 
standard application forms or those prescribed by the SSA with the 
approval of OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.
    (2) Applicants are not required to submit more than the original and 
two copies of preapplications or applications.
    (3) Applicants must follow all applicable instructions that bear OMB 
clearance numbers. SSA may specify and describe the programs, functions, 
or activities that will be used to plan, budget, and evaluate the work 
under a grant. Other supplementary instructions may be issued only with 
the approval of OMB to the extent required under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1980. For any standard form, except the SF--424 facesheet, SSA 
may shade out or instruct the applicant to disregard any line item that 
is not needed.
    (4) When a grantee applies for additional funding (such as a 
continuation or supplemental award) or amends a previously submitted 
application, only the affected pages need be submitted.
