Abstract
On September 30, 1992, the Congress passed the Older Americans Act Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-375), amending the Native American Programs Act of 1974. In accordance with these amendments, the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) is amending 45 CFR Part 1336 to incorporate an appeals procedure for ANA ineligible applications. This action affords the applicants in ANA grant program announcement areas the opportunity to appeal the rejection of an application based on a finding that either the applicant or the proposed activities are ineligible for funding. A successful appeal would lead to reconsideration of the application in the next cycle of grant proposals following the HHS Departmental Appeals Board's determination to uphold the appeal. It does not guarantee ANA approval for grant funding.
