Sec. 92.10  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 which do 

not require applicants to apply for funds on a project basis.

    (2) This section applies only to applications to Federal agencies 

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 shall only use 

standard application forms or those prescribed by the granting agency 

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. Federal agencies 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, Federal agencies 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. Previously submitted pages 

with information that is still current need not be resubmitted.
