CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

 
AmeriCorps State Formula Program Grants: North Dakota and South 
Dakota

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds for new and renewal grants; 
notice of availability of 1998 application guidelines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(Corporation) announces the availability of approximately $450,000 to 
support new national service programs in North Dakota and approximately 
$450,000 to support new and renewal national service programs in South 
Dakota. (CFDA #94.004).

DATES: To be considered, applications must be received by 3:30 p.m., 
Eastern Standard Time, June 23, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Applications must be submitted to the Corporation for 
National Service, 1201 New York Avenue NW., Box SND, Washington, DC 
20525. Facsimiles will not be accepted.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: For further information contact James Cooper, 
Corporation for National Service, 1201 New York Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20525, phone (202) 606-5000, ext. 149, TDD (202) 565-
2799.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Application guidelines may be obtained by 
calling Tanya Archie, Corporation for National Service, (202) 606-5000, 
ext. 476.
    These funds are authorized under the National and Community Service 
Act of 1990, as amended, and represent the statute's population-based 
provision of program assistance formula funds that, in most cases, flow 
through approved state commissions on national and community service. 
Because neither North Dakota nor South Dakota currently maintains an 
approved state commission or alternative administrative entity, 
eligible entities may apply directly to the Corporation for formula 
funds. Local government agencies, institutions of higher education, 
public or private nonprofit organizations, and Indian Tribes in North 
Dakota and South Dakota are eligible entities. An organization 
described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26 
U.S.C. 501(c)(4), that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible 
for these funds.
    Requirements relating to this assistance are published at 45 CFR 
Parts 2510 et seq. and are further described in the application 
guidelines. The Corporation will also provide Principles for High 
Quality National Service Programs, which includes program examples, 
upon request.
    Organizations interested in applying for these program funds may 
participate in one of two conference calls to be held on May 8, 1998 
and June 5, 1998, respectively, during which Corporation staff will 
provide technical assistance to potential applicants. The calls will 
begin at 1:00 p.m. and conclude at 3:00 p.m. (EST). To register for 
either call, please contact Rosa Harrison, at (202) 606-5000, ext. 433. 
Upon registration, you will be apprised of the applicable 800 number 
needed for participation.
    The provision of these grants is subject to the availability of 
appropriated funds.

    Dated: April 9, 1998.
Kenneth L. Klothen,
General Counsel, Corporation for National and Community Service.
