33 Grantee Question QUESTION: On Pg. 18 of the FOA under “Funding Consideration” how do we know if we qualify when we don’t know what our FY 14 Award is? Priority Funding Provision RESPONSE: We will notify those grantees that are eligible for priority funding in the next few weeks but well ahead of the Part B Supplemental application deadline.

34 Grantee Question QUESTION: Need clarification on the "5% fund cancellation" ineligibility. Does that include a state grantee that is deobligated for not meeting the 75% obligation of award within 120 days after receipt? Eligibility

35 Grantee Question RESPONSE: This is referring to the UOB penalty. If a State/Territory has UOB of their formula award which exceeds five percent, two penalties are imposed: 1. Future year award is reduced by amount of UOB less the amount of approved carryover; and 2. The grantee is not eligible for a future year supplemental award
