tribal law enforcement (including support for hiring), to combat violence against women, to fight
Internet crimes against children, to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system, to
assist victims of crime, and to support youth mentoring. DOJ is committed to working with our
national, state, local and tribal partners to ensure this funding invests in the American workforce.
Specifically, under this solicitation, BJA will be making awards to assist local and tribal efforts to
prevent or reduce crime and violence.

Recovery Act: Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
(JAG) Formula Program: Local Solicitation
CDFA #16.804
Overview of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
Program
This grant program is authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Public Law 111-5) (the "Recovery Act") and by 42 U.S.C. 3751(a).
The stated purposes of the Recovery Act are: to preserve and create jobs and promote
economic recovery; to assist those most impacted by the recession; to provide investments
needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and
health; to invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will
provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize State and local government budgets, in
order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and
local tax increases.
The Recovery Act places great emphasis on accountability and transparency in the use of
taxpayer dollars. Among other things, it creates a new Recovery Accountability and
Transparency Board and a new website - Recovery.gov - to provide information to the public,
including access to detailed information on grants and contracts made with Recovery Act funds.
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program 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 multijurisdictionaldvug 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.
Deadline: Registration
Registering with OJP's Grants Management System (GMS)
Applications must be submitted through OJP's online Grants Management System (GMS). To
access the system, go to https //orants oip usdoi gov. Applicants should begin the process
immediately to meet the GMS registration deadline, especially if this is the first time they have
used the system. Each application requires a separate GMS registration. The registration
process for organizations includes: (1) Obtaining a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
number; (2) Registering your organization with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
database; and (3) Registering with GMS prior to applying.
The deadline to register is 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 18, 2009.
A DUNS number is required. All applicants under this solicitation must include a DUNS (Data
Universal Numbering System) number in their application. Applications without a DUNS number

identifying and keeping track of entities receiving Federal funds. The identifier is used for
OMB No. 1121-0323
Approval Expires 9/30/209 ~
tracking purposes and to validate address and point of contact information for federal assistance
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. The DUNS number will be used throughout the grant
life cycle. Obtaining a DUNS number is a free, simple, one-time activity. Obtain one by calling 1-
866-705-5711 or by applying online at http //fedgov dnb com/webform/disolavHomePage do.
Central Contractor Registration (CCRI is required In addition to the DUNS number
requirement, OJP requires that all applicants (other than individuals) for federal financial
assistance maintain current registrations in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database.
The CCR database is the repository for standard information about federal financial assistance
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. Organizations that have previously submitted
applications via Grants.gov are already registered with CCR, as it is a requirement for
Grants.gov registration. Please note, however, that applicants must update or renew their CCR
registration at least once per year to maintain an active status. Information about registration
procedures can be accessed at www.ccr.gov.
Deadline: Applications
The due date for applying for funding under this announcement is 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
May 18, 2009.
Eligibility
Applicants are limited to units of local government appearing on the Recovery Act JAG
allocation list. For JAG Program purposes, a unit of local government is: a town, township,
village, parish, city, county, or other general purpose political subdivision of a state; any law
enforcement district or judicial enforcement district that is established under applicable state law
and has authority to, in a manner independent of other state entities, establish a budget and
impose taxes; or, it may also be a federally recognized Indian tribe or Alaskan Native
organization that performs law enforcement functions as determined by the Secretary of the
Interior. In Louisiana, a unit of local government means the office of a district attorney or a
parish sheriff.
Additional Requirements Related to the Recovery Act (including certification
requirements):
Reporting on the Use of Funds. In order to be eligible to receive funds under this solicitation,
applicants must certify that they will satisfy the reporting requirements of section 1512(c) of the
Recovery Act, which requires detailed reporting (including reporting on subawards) not later
than ten calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter. Detailed information on
section 1512(c) appears below, under "Accountability and Transparency under the Recovery
Act." A template for the certification is included in the appendix. Applicants may expect that a
standard form and/or standard reporting mechanism will be made available at a future date.
Certification regarding Infrastructure Investments. Pursuant to section 1511 of the Recovery Act,
a State or local government (including afederally-recognized Indian tribal government) may not
receive funds for an infrastructure investment (for example, construction or major renovation of
a correctional facility) unless the Governor, mayor, or other chief executive, as appropriate,
certifies that the infrastructure investment has received the full vetting required by law and that
the chief executive accepts responsibility that the infrastructure is an appropriate use of
taxpayer dollars. The certification must include a description of the infrastructure investment, the
estimated total cost, and the amount of Recovery Act funds to be used, and must be posted on
OMB No. 1121-0323
Appraral Expires 9/30!2009
a web site that is linked to Recovery.gov. (Refer to the OJP Recovery Act Additional
Requirements web page at www.oiA.usdoi.govlrecovery/solicitationreouirements.htm for the text
of section 1511.)
Consistent with section 1511, all applicants under this solicitation must complete a "General
Certification as to Requirements for Receipt of Funds for Infrastructure Investments," a template
for which is included in the appendix. Recipients that are awarded funds for one or more
infrastructure investment projects must also submit and post a certification that satisfies section
1511 as to each such specific project prior to obligating, expending, or drawing down funds for
such a project. Applicants or recipients that intend to prepare a section 1511 certification should
consult the OJP Recovery Act Additional Requirements web page at
ww+w.oip.usdoi.oov/recovery/solicitationreouirements.htm. If a standard form becomes available,
OJP will include a notice in the appropriate section of the web page.
American Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Tribes and/or Tribal Organizations: If a grant
application is being submitted on behalf of a tribe or tribal organization, a current authorizing
resolution of the governing body of the tribal entity or other enactment of the tribal council or
comparable government entity authorizing the inclusion of the tribe or tribal organization named
in the application must be included with the application.
JAG Program-Specific Information
All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or
additional requirements that may be imposed bylaw. Applicants also should anticipate
that awards under the Recovery Act will be one-time awards and accordingly should
propose project activities and deliverables that can be accomplished without additional
DOJ funding.
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 statutory 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. States also have a variable percentage of the
allocation that is required to "pass through" to units of local government. This amount, also
calculated by BJS, is based on each state's crime expenditures. Additionally, the formula
calculates direct allocations for local governments within each state, based on their share of the
total violent crime reported within the state. Local governments that are entitled to at least
$10,000 awards may apply directly to BJA for Local JAG grants.
NOTE: Beginning in 2009, the formula calculation for the local portion of the JAG statute has
changed significantly as a result of final implementation of the JAG statute. The statute, 42
U.S.C. 3755(d)(2)(B), specifies that for Fiscal Years 2005 through 2008, allocations to units of
local government would follow the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) formula.
Pursuant to the statute, however, calculations for FY 2009 (and subsequent JAG calculations)
OMB No. 1'121-0323 3
Approval Expires 9/30!2009
require that units of local government must have submitted to the FBI at least three years of
Uniform Crime Report (UCR) data during the most-recent ten-year period for which UCR data
are available (here, 1998-2007) in order to be eligible. As a result of this statutory requirement,
several local governments that were eligible in prior years for JAG formula funding are ineligible
this year due to a lack of compliant UCR data reporting.
Award Amount
The JAG allocation list established by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and indicates the
amount for which each unit of local government is eligible to apply. For a listing of eligible units
of local government and eligible amounts, go to
www.oip. usdoi.gov/BJA/recovervJAG/recovervallocations. html.
Purpose Areas
JAG funds may be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel,
equipment, supplies, contractual support, information systems for criminal justice, and criminal
justice-related research and evaluation activities that will improve or enhance:
• 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).
Responsibilities
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of an eligible unit of local government or a local agency
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 reports including pertormance measures
and program assessment data; 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 for costs associated with
administering JAG funds.
Disparate Certification
A disparate allocation occurs when a city or municipality is scheduled to receive one and one-
half times (150 percent) more than a county with concurrent jurisdiction, while that county bears
more than 50 percent of the costs associated with prosecution or incarceration of the
municipality's Part 1 violent crime. Multiple disparate allocations occur when multiple cities or
municipalities are collectively eligible to receive four times (400 percent) more than the county.
JAG disparate jurisdictions are certified by the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA), based in part on input from the state's Attorney General. For a listing of disparate
jurisdictions, go to www.oip.usdoi.gov/BJA/recovervJAG/recovervallocations html.
* Jurisdictions certified as disparate must identify a fiscal agent that will submit a joint
application for the total eligible allocation. The joint application must specify the award
distribution to each unit of local government and the purposes for which the funds will be
OMB No. TI27-0323
Approval Expires 9/30/2009 4
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.oip.usdoi aov/BJA/recovervJAG/JAGrecovervMOU odf.
Governing Body Review
The applicant agency (fiscal agent) must make the grant application available for review by its
governing body (or to the organization designated by that governing body) not fewer than 30
days before the application is submitted to BJA.
Public Comment
The Local JAG application 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 neighborhood or community organizations.
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 of 4 grant period years.
Trust Fund
Each unit of local government may draw down any or all JAG funds after acceptance of the
award. 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.
Recipients of funds, however, should be aware that the authority to retain such advance funding
may be withdrawn should the recipient persistently remain delinquent in applicable reporting
required by the Recovery Act. Specific information relating to this will be detailed in grant award
documents.
Prohibited Uses
No JAG funds may be expended outside of the JAG purpose areas. Even within the purpose
areas, however, JAG funds may not 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.
Non-Supplanting
Federal funds must be used to supplement existing state and local funds for program activities
and must not replace those funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. See the
OJP Financial Guide (Part II. Chanter 3). Additional information appears on the "OJP Recovery
Act Additional Requirements" web page at
www.oip.usdoi gov/recovery/solicitationreouirements htm.
OMB No. 1121-0323 5
Approval Expires 9/30/2009
Recovery Act: Buy American
All applicants that propose to use grant funds to construct, alter, maintain, or repair a public
building or public work should be aware that the Recovery Act (in section 1605) contains a "Buy
American' provision that applies to iron, steel, and manufactured goods, subject to certain
exceptions. The provision is to be applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations
under international agreements. Government-wide guidance on this provision is not yet
available, but is expected. For the text of section 1605, please refer to the ""OJP Recovery Act
Additional Requirements" web page at
www.oip.usdoi.qov/recovery/solicitationreguirements htm.
Recovery Act: Wage Rate Requirements
All applicants should be aware that the Recovery Act contains a provision on wage rate
requirements that concerns projects funded or assisted by Recovery Act funds that employ
laborers and mechanics. See section 1606 of the Recovery Act, the text of which appears on
the "OJP Recovery Act Additional Requirements" web page at
www.oio.usdoi.qov/recovery/solicitationreguirements htm. Government-wide guidance on this
provision is not yet available, but is expected.
Recovery Act: Preference for Quick-Start Activities
Pursuant to section 1602 of the Recovery Act, recipient of funds under this solicitation for
infrastructure investment are to give preference to activities that can be started and completed
expeditiously, and also are expected to use grant funds in a manner that maximizes job creation
and economic benefit. For the details of this requirement, please refer to the text of section
1602, which appears on the "OJP's Recovery Act Additional Requirements" web page at
www. o f p. usdoi. qov/recovery/so I i citatic n req u i rements. htm.
Recovery Act: Contracts
Generally speaking, the Recovery Act places special emphasis on the use of fixed-price
contracts awarded through competitive procedures. As information becomes available, OJP will
provide guidance to applicants as to what, if any, particular procurement requirements or
procedures may apply to contracts awarded with Recovery Act grant funds, apart from those
that appear in 28 C.F.R. Part 66 and 28 C.F.R. Part 70.
Recovery Act: Limit on Funds
The Recovery Act specifically provides that funds may not be used by any state or local
government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium,
zoo, golf course, or swimming pool.
Recovery Act: Use of Funds in Conjunction with Funds from Other Sources.
Recovery Act funds may be used in conjunction with other funding as necessary to complete
projects, but tracking and reporting of Recovery Act funds must be separate, to meet the
reporting and other requirements of the Recovery Act and other applicable law. There can be no
commingling of funds. (See "Accountability and Transparency under the Recovery Act," below.)
Accountability and Transparency under the Recovery Act
Separate Tracking and Reporting of Recovery Act Funds and Outcomes
Consistent with the special purposes and goals of the Recovery Act, and its strong emphasis on
accountability and transparency, it is essential that all funds from a Recovery Act grant be
tracked, accounted for, and reported on separately from all other funds (including DOJ grant
OMB No. 1121-0323
Approval Expires 9/30/2009 6
funds from non-Recovery Act grants awarded for the same or similar purposes or programs).
Recipients must also be prepared to track and report on the specific outcomes and benefits
attributable to use of Recovery Act funds.
The accounting systems of all recipients and subrecipients must ensure that funds from any
award under this Recovery Act solicitation are not commingled with funds from any other
source.
Misuse of grant funds may result in a range of penalties, including suspension of current and
future funds, suspension or debarment from federal grants, recoupment of monies provided
under a grant, and civil and/or criminal penalties.
Quarterly Financial and Programmatic Reporting
Consistent with the Recovery Act emphasis on accountability and transparency, reporting
requirements under Recovery Act grant programs will differ from and expand upon OJP's
standard reporting requirements for grants. In particular, section 1512(c) of the Recovery Act
sets out detailed requirements for quarterly reports that must be submitted within 10 days of the
end of each calendar quarter. Receipt of funds will be contingent on meeting the Recovery Act
reporting requirements.
Under this Recovery Act program, quarterly financial and programmatic reporting will be
required, and will be due within 10 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter,
starting July 10, 2009.
Programmatic and Financial Reporting
Periods Due Dates
October- December Janua 10
Janua -March Aril 10
April-June Jul 10

The information from grantee reports will be posted on a public website. To the extent that grant
funds are available to pay a grantee's administrative expenses, those funds may be used to
assist the grantee in meeting the accelerated time-frame and extensive reporting requirements
of the Recovery Act.
Recovery Act grant recipients may expect that the information posted by OJP will identify
grantees that are delinquent in their reporting. In addition, in keeping with standard OJP
practice, grant recipients who do not submit required reports by the due date will not be
permitted to draw down funds thereafter, during the pendency of the delinquency, and may be
subject to other appropriate actions by OJP, including, but not limited to, restrictions on eligibility
for future OJP awards, restrictions on draw-down on other OJP awards, and suspension or
termination of the Recovery Act award.
Funding recipients may expect that a standard form and/or reporting mechanism may be
available. Additional instructions and guidance regarding the required reporting will be provided
as they become available. For planning purposes, however, all applicants should be aware that
the Recovery Act section 1512(c) provides as follows:
OMB No. 1'121-0323

Recipient Reports: Not later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each
recipient that received recovery funds from a Federal agency shall submit a report to that
agency that contains-
(1)the total amount of recovery funds received from that agency;
(2) the amount of recovery funds received that were expended or obligated to
projects or activities; and
