Sec. 63a.8  How long does grant support last?



    (a) The notice of the grant award specifies how long the Secretary 

intends to support the project without requiring the grantee to 

recompete for funds. This period, called the ``project period,'' will 

usually be for one to five years.

    (b) Generally, the grant will be initially for one year and 

subsequent continuation awards will be for one year at a time. A grantee 

must submit a separate application at the time and in the form and 

manner that the Secretary may require 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 

determination by the Secretary that continued funding is in the best 

interest of the Federal Government.

    (c) 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.

    (d) 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 that 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.
