Region 9 Application Instructions
SUBMISSION
All applicants must apply for Federal financial assistance on Standard Form 424 (revised 7/03). The final
application and work plan should be submitted by the date indicated in the application guidance letter sent to your
agency by the EPA Program Office. All OMB Standard Forms (SF) and Circulars are also available for download at
http: //www. whitehouse. gov/omb /grants /index.html
If you are requesting continuation funding for an ongoing Environmental Program Grant under 40 CFR Part 35, your
application must be submitted beforeyour current grant expires. This will allow your program to continue to incur
costs without interruption. However, if the application is received even one day late, your grant funds will be
stopped until a new grant is awarded. This may cause adverse conditions for your program because you will be
responsible for all costs until your new grant is awarded.
Please submit all items noted on the enclosed Application Checklist to:

government
Audits shall be performed annually, unless the recipient made provisions previously for biennial audits as set forth
in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section .2 20 of the Circular. The costs of audits made in accordance with the provisions
of this Circular are allowable charges to Federal awards. However, recipients may not charge the cost of auditing a

Federal award per Section.230 of A-133.
Audit report requirements and report submission are set forth in Sections .320 and.235 of the Circular. The
