Step Six: Certify Applicants
Although the U.S. Attorneys will not be actively involved in the selection of a grantee or subrecipients, it is appropriate and necessary that they certify the applicants as suitable to apply. This certification ensures that every candidate for either a fiscal agent or a subrecipient is appropriate for federal funding and that each is an entity within the community that the U.S. Attorney can work with as part of the U.S. Attorney's PSN Task Force.
After the task force provides the U.S. Attorney with the list of potential subrecipients under a noncompetitive process or all applicants under a competitive process, the U.S. Attorney will review them using the certification process below.
The U.S. Attorney's certification of applicants will be conveyed
to the selection committee, whose members will then review and make
final selections from the certified organizations. At a later time,
when final selections have been made, the U.S. Attorney will prepare
a certification letter to cover all subrecipients. (See Step
Eight.)
