           Subpart B_Runaway and Homeless Youth Program Grant
 
Sec.  1351.19  What additional information should an applicant or grantee have 

about a Runaway and Homeless Youth Program grant?

    (a) Several other HHS rules and regulations apply to applicants for 
or recipients of Runaway and Homeless Youth Program grants. These 
include:
    (1) The provisions of 45 CFR part 74 pertaining to the 
Administration of Grants;
    (2) The provisions of 45 CFR part 16, Departmental Grants Appeal 
Process, and the provisions of Informal Grant Appeal Procedures 
(Indirect Costs) in volume 45 CFR part 75;
    (3) The provisions of 45 CFR part 80 and 45 CFR part 81 pertaining 
to nondiscrimination under programs receiving Federal assistance, and 
hearing procedures;
    (4) The provisions of 45 CFR part 84 pertaining to discrimination on 
the basis of handicap;
    (5) The provisions of 45 CFR part 46 pertaining to protection of 
human subjects.
    (b) Several program policies regarding confidentiality of 
information, treatment, conflict of interest and State protection apply 
to recipients of Runaway and Homeless Youth Program grants. These 
include:
    (1) Confidential information. All information including lists of 
names, addresses, photographs, and records of evaluation of individuals 
served by a runaway and homeless youth project shall be confidential and 
shall not be disclosed or transferred to any individual or to any public 
or private agency without written consent of the youth and family. Youth 
served by a runaway and homeless youth project shall have the right to 
review their records; to correct a record or file a statement of 
disagreement; and to be apprised of the individuals who have reviewed 
their records. Procedures shall be established for the training of 
project staff in the protection of these rights and for the secure 
storage of records.
    (2) Medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment. No youth shall 
be subject to medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment without 
the consent of the youth and family unless otherwise permitted by State 
law.
    (3) Conflict of interest. Employees or individuals participating in 
a program or project under the Act shall not use their positions for a 
purpose that is, or gives the appearance of being, motivated by a desire 
for private gain for themselves or others, particularly those with whom 
they have family, business or other ties.
    (4) State law protection. HHS policies regarding confidential 
information and experimentation and treatment shall not apply if HHS 
finds that State law is more protective of the rights of runaway or 
otherwise homeless youth.
    (c) Nothing in the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act or these 
regulations gives the Federal Government control over the staffing and 
personnel decisions regarding individuals hired by a runaway and 
homeless youth project receiving Federal funds.
