Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program
CFDA #16.738
Overview
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3751(a)) is
the primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. JAG funds
support all components of the criminal justice system, from multijurisdictional drug and gang
task forces to crime prevention and domestic violence programs, courts, corrections, treatment,
and justice information sharing initiatives. JAG-funded projects may address crime through the
provision of services directly to individuals and/or communities and by improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of criminal justice systems, processes, and procedures.
Deadlines: Registration and Application
Registration is required prior to submission. The deadline to register in GMS is 8:00 p.m.
eastern time on June 30, 2010 and the deadline for applying for funding under this
announcement is 8:00 p.m. eastern time on June 30, 2010. Please see the "How to Apply"
section, page 6, for more details.
Eligibility
Please refer to the cover page of this solicitation for eligibility under this program.
JAG Program—Specific Information
All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or
additional requirements that may be imposed by law.
Established to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the JAG Program allows
states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and
control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne
Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with
the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most.
Formula
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) calculates, for each state and territory, a minimum base
allocation which, based on the Congressionally mandated JAG formula, can be enhanced by (1)
the state's share of the national population, and (2)the state's share of the country's Part 1
violent crime statistics. Once the state funding is calculated, 60 percent of the allocation is
awarded to the state and 40 percent to eligible units of local government(please note that the
territories and District of Columbia are exempt from this part of the formula).
Eligible state/territory recipients are entitled to the previously mentioned 60 percent state
allocation plus any funds designated for the state's units of local government whose direct
allocation would be less than $10,000. Funds from these "less than $10,000 jurisdictions" are
added to the state allocation and must be distributed by the state to state police departments
OMB No. 1121-0329 1
Approval expires 02/28/13
that provide criminal justice services to units of local government and units of local government
that were not eligible for a direct award of$10,000 or more.
In addition, the formula then calculates direct allocations for local governments within each
state, based on their share of the total violent crime reported within the state. Local
governments entitled to at least $10,000 awards may apply directly to BJA for local JAG grants.
States also have a variable percentage of the allocation that is required to be "passed through"
to units of local government. This amount, also calculated by BJS, is based on each state's
crime expenditures. Updated Variable Pass-through percentages (VPT), which State
Administering Agencies (SAA) are required to use in the administration of Fiscal Year 2010 JAG
awards, can be found at: www.oip.usdoi.qov/BJA/grant/iag10/10JAGvpt.pdf.
Award Amount
Eligible award amounts under JAG are posted annually to BJA's JAG web page:
wvvw.ojo.usdol.qov/BJA/qrant/iaq.html.
Purpose Areas
JAG funds may be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel,
equipment, supplies, contractual support, and criminal justice information systems for criminal
justice that will improve or enhance such areas as:
• Law enforcement programs.
• Prosecution and court programs.
• Prevention and education programs.
• Corrections and community corrections programs.
• Drug treatment and enforcement programs.
• Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs.
• Crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
Note: The authorizing statute for the JAG Program provides that funds are to be used for the
purposes above and notes that these purposes include all of the purposes previously authorized
under the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Assistance Program (Byrne Formula) and
the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program (LLEBG). This provision may be useful to
applicants in understanding all of the allowable uses under the above purpose areas. For
example, relying on this provision, it can be understood that the JAG Purpose Area "Prosecution
and court programs" listed above, provides the states and local units of government with the
authority to fund defender,judicial, pretrial, and court administration efforts as well as
prosecution programs. For a listing of prior Byrne Formula and LLEBG purpose areas, see
www.oip.usdoi.qov/BJA/grant/byrnepurpose.html. Although these two programs have been
eliminated, their prior purpose areas may be useful in appreciating the scope of the JAG
purpose areas.
Priorities
BJA recognizes that the downturn in the economy has resulted in significant pressures on state
and local criminal justice systems. In these challenging times, all of DOJ, and especially OJP
and BJA, wish to ensure that local JAG recipients are aware of several areas of national focus
and priority for DOJ that may be of help in maximizing the effectiveness of the Byrne/JAG
funding at the state and local level.
As an overall framework for success, we encourage comprehensive justice planning, bringing all
of the system stakeholders together, including law enforcement, courts, prosecutors, defenders,
OMB No. 1121-0329 2
Approval expires 02/28/13
corrections officials, and other stakeholders to create a comprehensive and strategic justice
plan to ensure coordination and a more effective justice system.
As a part of this strategic planning process, we strongly encourage state and local planners to
consider programs that are evidence-based and have been proven effective; in a difficult
budgetary climate, it is critical that dollars are spent on programs whose effectiveness is proven.
However, we recognize that state and local programs can also be wonderful laboratories for
innovative programs that can be models for other states and localities addressing difficult
problems. BJA has made resources available to state administering agencies and others to
provide training and technical assistance in identifying and using evidence-based practices as
the outcome of a comprehensive and strategic justice plan in the state or local community.
In addition to these overarching considerations, and in addition to our longstanding and
unwavering commitment to keeping violent crime at its lowest level in decades, the following
priorities represent key areas where we will be focusing nationally and invite each state to join
us in addressing these challenges as a part of our Justice Assistance Grants partnership.
A key priority for the Department of Justice and, indeed, the entire Administration, is effective
counterterrorism and terrorism prevention programs. We recognize that state and local law
enforcement are critical partners in detecting, identifying, preventing, and disrupting acts of
violence against the United States by both domestic and international extremist organizations.
Preventing terrorism remains the first goal of the Department of Justice's strategic plan and
remains a priority for BJA.
Another key priority area is ensuring that justice is truly done in the criminal justice system—the
Attorney General has consistently stressed that the crisis in indigent defense reform is a serious
concern of his, a concern which is shared by OJP and BJA. As a former prosecutor and judge,
however, the Attorney General is also acutely aware that without adequate funding for the
courts, prosecution, problem-solving courts, and other innovative, cost-saving alternatives to
incarceration, true justice cannot be achieved.
As important as a well-functioning court system is "Smart Policing"—evidence-based and data-
driven law enforcement efforts that allow agencies to maximize their resources and more
efficiently target emerging and chronic crime problems, hopefully preventing crimes before they
occur and ultimately lessening the burden on the courts and the justice system overall.
As our economy shows signs of recovery, it is essential that we not allow this progress to be
thwarted by economic crime, including mortgage fraud, financial crimes, fraud, and intellectual
property crimes that threaten our economic growth and stability.
In order to lessen the burden on what has been described as an overreliance on incarceration, it
is essential that those who have served time can transition back into the community and into
crime-free pro-social lives. To do this, we will emphasize smart and effective approaches to
offender reentry and will support statewide and local efforts in justice reinvestment, which
reduces costly spending on incarceration and reinvests a portion of the savings into other areas
of the justice system without sacrificing accountability.
Last, but certainly not least, we must ensure that, in the context of our continued focus on
addressing violent crime, children who are exposed to violence are responded to effectively so
that these experiences do not risk the futures of these children and do not fuel the cycle of
violence.
OMB No. 1121-0329 3
Approval expires 02/28/13
These priorities and others will be the focus of our efforts during FY 2010, and we invite you as
a partner and grantee to join us in our efforts to address these critical issues.
Responsibilities
The Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of an eligible unit of local government or other officer
designated by the CEO must submit the application for JAG funds. A unit of local government
receiving a JAG award will be responsible for the administration of the funds including:
distributing the funds; monitoring the award; submitting quarterly financial status (SF-425) and
performance metrics reports and annual programmatic reports; and providing ongoing oversight
and assistance to any subrecipients of the funds.
Administrative Funds
A unit of local government may use up to 10 percent of the award, plus any interest accrued, for
costs associated with administering JAG funds.
Disparate Certification
A disparate allocation occurs when a city or municipality is allocated one-and-one-half times
(150 percent) more than the county, while the county bears more than 50 percent of the costs
associated with prosecution or incarceration of the municipality's Part 1 violent crimes. A
disparate allocation also occurs when multiple cities or municipalities are collectively allocated
four times (400 percent) more than the county, and the county bears more than 50 percent of
the collective costs associated with prosecution or incarceration of each municipality's Part 1
violent crimes.
* Jurisdictions certified as disparate must identify a fiscal agent that will submit a joint
application for the aggregate eligible allocation to all disparate municipalities. The joint
application must determine and specify the award distribution to each unit of local
government and the purposes for which the funds will be used. When beginning the JAG
application process, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that identifies which
jurisdiction will serve as the applicant/fiscal agent for joint funds, must be completed, and
signed by the Authorized Representative for each participating jurisdiction. The signed MOU
should be attached to the application. For a sample MOU, go to
www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/grant/jag10/10JAGMOU.pdf. Failure to submit a singed MOU may
result in the attachment of a withholding special condition at the time of award,
preventing the draw-down of funds until the required information is submitted.
Governing Body Review
The applicant agency (fiscal agent in disparate situations) must make the grant application
available for review by the governing body (or to the organization designated by the governing
body) not fewer than 30 days before the application is submitted to BJA. Failure to submit a
review narrative including the required governing body notification information may
result in the attachment of a withholding special condition at the time of award,
preventing the drawdown of funds until the required information is submitted.
Public Comment
The applicant agency (the fiscal agent in disparate situations) must include a statement that the
application was made public and that, to the extent of applicable law or established procedure,
an opportunity to comment was provided to citizens and to neighborhood or community-based
organizations. Failure to submit a review narrative including the required public comment
OMB No 1121-0329 4
Approval expires 02/28/13
information may result in the attachment of a withholding special condition at the time of
award, preventing the drawdown of funds until the required information is submitted.
Supplanting
Federal funds must be used to supplement existing funds for program activities and cannot
replace or supplant nonfederal funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose.
Supplanting is prohibited under JAG.
Length of Awards
Awards are made in the first fiscal year of the appropriation and may be expended during the
following 3 years, for a total grant period of 4 years. Extensions beyond this period may be
made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Director of BJA and must be requested
via the Grants Management System (GMS) no less than 30 days prior to the grant end date.
Trust Fund
Award recipients may drawdown JAG funds in advance. To do so, a trust fund must be
established in which to deposit the funds. The trust fund may or may not be an interest-bearing
account. If subrecipients draw down JAG funds in advance, they also must establish a trust fund
in which to deposit funds.
Prohibited Uses
No JAG funds may be expended outside of JAG purpose areas. Even within these purpose
areas, however, JAG funds cannot be used directly or indirectly for security enhancements or
equipment for nongovernmental entities not engaged in criminal justice or public safety. Nor
may JAG funds be used directly or indirectly to provide for any of the following matters unless
BJA certifies that extraordinary and exigent circumstances exist, making them essential to the
maintenance of public safety and good order:
• Vehicles (excluding police cruisers), vessels (excluding police boats), or aircraft (excluding
police helicopters).
• Luxury items.
• Real estate.
• Construction projects (other than penal or correctional institutions).
• Any similar matters.
Reporting Requirements
Once an award is accepted, award recipients must submit quarterly financial status (SF-425)
and annual performance reports through GMS (https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov).
To assist in fulfilling the Department's responsibilities under the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), P.L. 103-62, applicants who receive funding under this solicitation
must provide data that measures the results of their work. Additionally, applicants must discuss
in their application their methods for collecting data for performance measures. Please refer to
"What An Application Must Include" (below), for additional information on applicant
responsibilities for collecting and reporting data. Quarterly performance metrics reports must
be submitted through BJA's Performance Measurement Tool (PMT)web site:
www.bjaperformancetools.orq.

Approval expires 02/28/13
Budget Information
Match Requirement
While match is not required with the JAG Program, match can be used as an effective strategy
for states and units of local government to expand justice funds and build buy-in for local
criminal justice initiatives.
How to Apply
Applications will be submitted through OJP's Grants Management System (GMS). GMS is a
web-based, data-driven computer application that provides cradle to grave support for the
application, award, and management of grants at OJP. Applicants should begin the process
immediately to meet the GMS registration deadline, especially if this is the first time they have
used the system. Complete instructions on how to register and submit an application in GMS
can be found at www.oip.usdoi.gov/gmscbt/. If you experience technical difficulties at any point
during this process, please email the GMS.HelDDesk(a�usdoi.gov or call 1-888-549-9901 (option
3), Monday-Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 12 midnight eastern time, except federal holidays. The
Office of Justice Programs highly recommends starting the registration process as early as
possible to prevent delays in the application submission by the specified deadline.
All applicants are required to complete the following six steps, before an application can be sub
miffed through GMS:
1. Acquire a DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) Number. A DUNS number is
required to submit an application in GMS. The Office of Management and Budget requires
that all businesses and nonprofit applicants for Federal funds include a DUNS number in
their application for a new award or renewal of an existing award. A DUNS number is a
unique nine-digit sequence recognized as the universal standard for identifying and keeping
track of entities receiving Federal funds. The identifier is used for tracking purposes and to
validate address and point of contact information for federal assistance applicants,
recipients, and sub-recipients. The DUNS number will be used throughout the grant life
cycle. Obtaining a DUNS number is a free, one-time activity. Obtain a DUNS number by
calling 1-866-705-5711 or by applying online at www.dunandbradstreet.com. Individuals are
exempt from this requirement.
2. Acquire or Renew Registration with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
Database. CCR registration is required to receive funding. OJP requires that all applicants
(other than individuals) for federal financial assistance maintain current registrations in the
CCR database. The CCR database is the repository for standard information about federal
financial assistance applicants, recipients, and sub-recipients. Organizations that have
previously submitted applications via Grants.gov are already registered with CCR, as it is a
requirement for Grants.gov registration. If you have previously registered with CCR, your
registration must be updated or renewed at least once per year to maintain an active status.
Information about CCR registration procedures can be accessed at www.ccr.gov.
3. Acquire a GMS Username and Password. If you are a new user, please create a GMS
profile by selecting the first time user link under the sign-in box of the GMS home page. For
more information on how to register in GMS, go to www.oip.usdoi.gov/gmscbt/.
4. Search for the Funding Opportunity on GMS. After you log in to GMS or complete your
GMS profile for your username and password, go to the Funding Opportunities link on the
OMB No. 1121-0329 6
Approval expires 02/28/13
left hand side of the page. Please select BJA and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG) Program—Local Solicitation.
5. Select the Apply Online Button Associated with the Solicitation Title. The search
results from step 4 will display the solicitation title along with the Registration and
Application Deadlines for this funding opportunity. Please select the Apply Online button in
the Action Column to create an application in the system.
6. Submit an Application Consistent with this Solicitation by Following the Directions in
GMS. Once the application is completed and submitted, GMS will display a confirmation
screen stating your submission was successful. Important: You are urged to submit your
application at least 72 hours prior to the application deadline.
Note: OJP's Grants Management System (GMS) does not accept executable file types as
application attachments. These disallowed file types include, but are not limited to, the
following extensions: ".com," ".bat,"".exe," ".vbs," ".cfg," ".dat," ".db," ".dbf," ".dll," ".ini," ".log,"
".ora," ".sys," and ".zip."
Experiencing Unforeseen GMS Technical Issues
If you experience unforeseen GMS technical issues beyond your control which prevent you from
submitting your application by the deadline, you should immediately contact the GMS Help Desk
at 1-888-549-9901, option 3 to report the difficulties and obtain a GMS Help Desk Tracking
number. Additionally, within 24 hours after the deadline you must contact BJA staff and
request approval to submit your application. At that time, BJA staff will require you to email the
complete grant application, your DUNS number, and provide a GMS Help Desk tracking
number(s). After the program office reviews all of the information submitted, and validates with
the GMS Helpdesk the technical issues you reported, OJP will contact you to either approve or
deny your request to submit a late application. If the technical issues you reported cannot be
validated, your late application will not be accepted.
The following conditions are not valid reasons to permit late submissions: (1)failure to begin the
registration process and apply for a DUNS number and/or complete the CCR registration in
sufficient time; (2) failure to follow GMS instructions on how to register and apply as posted on
its website; (3)failure to follow all of the instructions in the OJP solicitation; and (4)technical
issues experienced with the applicant's computer or information technology (IT) environment.
Notifications regarding known technical problems with GMS are posted on the OJP funding web
page, www.oip.usdoj.gov/funding/solicitations.htm.
What an Application Must Include
This section describes what an application is expected to include and sets out a number of
elements. Applicants should anticipate that failure to submit an application that contains all of
the specified elements may negatively affect the review of the application and, should a decision
nevertheless be made to make an award, may result in the inclusion of special conditions that
preclude access to or use of award funds pending satisfaction of the conditions.
OJP strongly recommends use of appropriately descriptive file names (e.g., "Program
Narrative," "Budget and Budget Narrative," "Memoranda of Understanding," etc.) for all required
attachments.
