    (a) Applicability. Except to the extent inconsistent with an 

applicable Federal statute the regulations in this part apply to all 

grant awards of Federal assistance made by the Assistant Secretary for 

Planning and Evaluation or his designee, hereinafter referred to in this 

part as the Assistant Secretary. Such grants include those under section 

232 of the Community Services Act (42 U.S.C. 2835), section 1110 of the 

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1310), section 392A of the Communications 

Act of 1934, and such other authority as may be delegated to the 

Assistant Secretary for policy research activities.

    (b) Exceptions to applicability. The award and administration of 

contracts and cooperative agreements by the Assistant Secretary shall 

not be covered by this subchapter. Contracts entered into by the 

Assistant Secretary shall be subject to the regulations in 41 CFR 

Chapters 1 and 3. Generally, the Assistant Secretary will select between 

grant and contract procedures and instruments, both with regard to the 

solicitation process and with respect to unsolicited proposals, on the 

basis of criteria set forth in the proposed revision of 41 CFR 3-1.53 

published at 39 FR 27469 at any subsequent revision thereof.

    (c) Objectives--(1) Policy Research. The overall objective of policy 

research activities is to obtain information, as it relates to the 

mission of the Department of Health and Human Services, about the basic 

causes of and methods for preventing and eliminating poverty and 

dependency and about improved methods for delivering human resources 

services. Such information is obtained through the conduct of basic and 

applied research, statistical analyses, and demonstrations and 

evaluations which have demonstrated a high probability of impacting on 

the formulation or modification of major Departmental policies and 

programs.

    (2) Telecommunications Demonstrations. The overall objective of the 

Telecommunications Demonstration Program is to promote the development 

of nonbroadcast telecommunications facilities and services for the 

transmission, distribution, and delivery of health, education, and 

social service information.
