    As used in this part and in section 224 of the Domestic Volunteer 

Service Act of 1973, as amended, the following definitions shall apply:

    (a) Director means the Director of ACTION.

    (b) Locally Generated Contributions means all contributions 

generated by the grantee in support of the grant, including non-ACTION 

Federal, State, local government and privately raised contributions.

    (c) Amount Required by the Director means the proportion of the non-

Federal contribution (including in-kind contributions) for a grant or 

contract made under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, as 

amended, required by the Director in order to receive ACTION funds. This 

proportion is generally 10% for the Foster Grandparent Program/Senior 

Companion Program (FGP/SCP) and generally 10%, 20% and 30% for the 

Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) in the first, second, and 

subsequent years respectively. The ``amount required by the Director'' 

is also called the ``local match.''

    (d) In Excess of the Amount Required by the Director means of the 

total locally generated contributions, the amount over and above the 

percentage match (generally 10% for FGP/SCP and 10%, 20% and 30% for 

RSVP in the first, second, and subsequent years respectively) required 

by the Director of ACTION to be raised from non-ACTION sources to 

support the grant.

    (e) Inconsistent with the Provisions of This Act means expenditures 

not in support of ACTION programs, as defined by the Domestic Volunteer 

Service Act of 1973, as amended. For example:

    (1) Inconsistency with the age threshold for volunteers for all 

Older American Volunteer Programs (OAVP);

    (2) Inconsistency with the low income test for the FGP and SCP 

programs;

    (3) Variations from the approved stipend levels for the FGP and SCP 

programs;

    (4) Inconsistency with the prohibition against political activity 

under all the OAVP programs; and/or

    (5) Unreasonable cost for a low-cost volunteer program.
