Sec. 74.12  Forms for applying for HHS financial assistance.

    (a) HHS awarding agencies shall comply with the applicable report 
clearance requirements of 5 CFR part 1320, ``Controlling Paperwork 
Burdens on the Public,'' with regard to all forms used in place of or as 
a supplement to the Standard Form 424 (SF-424) series. However, HHS 
awarding agencies should use the SF-424 series and its program narrative 
whenever possible.
    (b) Applicants shall use the SF-424 series or those forms and 
instructions prescribed by the HHS awarding agency. Applicants shall 
submit the original and two copies of any applications unless additional 
copies are required pursuant to 5 CFR part 1320.
    (c) For Federal programs covered by E.O. 12372, as amended by E.O. 
12416, ``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs,'' the applicant 
shall complete the appropriate sections of the SF-424 (Application for 
Federal Assistance) indicating whether the application was subject to 
review by the State Single Point of Contact (SPOC). The name and address 
of the SPOC for a particular State can be obtained from the HHS awarding 
agency or the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. The SPOC shall 
advise the applicant whether the program for which application is made 
has been selected by that State for review. (See also 45 CFR part 100.)
    (d) HHS awarding agencies that do not use the SF-424 form will 
indicate on the application form they prescribe whether the application 
is subject to review by the State under E.O. 12372.
    (e) This section does not apply to applications for subawards.
