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. OMB No. 1121-0329 5 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.
