The National Board Fiscal Year 1994 Plan for Carrying Out the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

The National Board Fiscal Year 1994 Plan for Carrying Out the

Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice sets out the plan by which the Emergency Food and

Shelter Program National Board (National Board) will conduct a program

during fiscal year (FY) 1994 to distribute $130,000,000 to private

voluntary organizations and local governments for delivering emergency

food and shelter to needy individuals. The distribution formula for

selecting organizations and localities, and the award amount for each,

follow the Plan text.

DATES: The award to the National Board was made November 17, 1993.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fran McCarthy, Emergency Food and

Shelter Program, Federal Emergency Management Agency, (202) 646-3652,

or Dennis H. Kwiatkowski, Chair, EFSP National Board, (202) 646-3487.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Stewart B. McKinney

Homeless Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 11301 et seq., authorizes use of

funds appropriated by the Congress to supplement and expand ongoing

efforts to provide shelter, food, and supportive services to homeless,

needy individuals. As in past phases, grant awards from this program

are provided to address emergency needs. This program is not intended

to address or correct structural poverty or long-standing problems.

Rather, this appropriation is intended for the purchase of food and

shelter to supplement and expand current available resources and not to

substitute or reimburse ongoing programs and services.

The National Board has once again adopted the following operating

principles:

Speedy administration and funding.

Awards to areas of greatest need.

Local decision-making.

Public/private sector cooperation.

Minimum, but accountable reporting.

The National Board expects Local Boards, Local Recipient

Organizations (LROs), and State Set-Aside (SSA) Committees to abide by

the stated rules of this Plan and to focus on the following concerns

and principles mandated by the National Board:

Serve individuals in need without discrimination and avoid

duplication of benefits by supplementing food and shelter services

which individuals might currently be receiving, as well as by aiding

those who are receiving no assistance.

Refuse to authorize the spending of funds on costs that

differ from those allowed by the National Board, unless a written

request is made in advance and approved by the National Board.

Restrict shelter repairs to the minimum work required to

bring the facility into compliance with local building codes and for

emergency repairs only to keep the facility open during the program

year ($5,000 limit). Avoid decorative or non-essential repairs and

purchases as this is outside the intent of this program. The benefit of

rehabilitation to provide service should be carefully weighed against

the response to needs that exist at the time. Emphasis should be placed

on currently existing needs.

The National Board is mandated, as are Local Boards, LROs, SSA

Committees, and FEMA, to carry out the intent of the law. We must all

ensure that as decisions are made, we not only question if a specific

expenditure falls within the guidelines for eligible costs, but also if

making the expenditure would fulfill the intent of the program and the

law.

EFSP funding should be used to target special emergency needs. And

when we discuss emergency needs we are referring to economic, not

disaster-related, emergencies. The funding should supplement feeding

and sheltering efforts in ways that make a difference. What this means

is:

EFSP is not intended to make up for budget shortfalls or

to be considered just a line in an annual budget;

It is not intended that the funds must go to the same

agencies for the exact same purposes every year; and,

The funding is open to all organizations helping hungry

and homeless people and is not intended that the funds should go only

to Local Board member agencies or local government agencies.

Having stated what it is not, what does the National Board want

this program to be? EFSP should:

Create inclusive local coalitions that meet regularly to

determine the best use of funds and to monitor their use in their

respective communities;

Treat every program year as a fresh opportunity to

reassess what particular community needs (e.g. on-site feeding or

utility assistance, mass shelter or homelessness prevention) should be

addressed;

Encourage agencies to work together to emphasize their

respective strengths, work out common problems, and prevent duplication

of effort; and,

Examine whether the program is helping to meet the needs

of special populations such as minorities, Native Americans, veterans,

families with children, the elderly, and the handicapped.

We must emphasize that this program has a commitment to emergency

services. We continue to view it as an opportunity for building a

cohesive emergency structure which can, for example,

Coordinate across agencies the emergency assistance

provided to families and individuals applying for rental, mortgage, or

utility assistance;

Enhance a food banking network that is economical in its

cost and broad in its coverage;

Reinforce creative cooperation among feeding and

sheltering sites to ensure help for street populations most in need;

and,

Establish or maintain a system that complements rather

than supplants existing private and governmental efforts to provide

rent, mortgage, or utility assistance.

The National Board is aware that much is asked of our voluntary

Local Boards and LROs, and very little administrative funding is

provided. But the cooperative model that EFSP has helped to create can

be a useful vehicle for many governmental and community-based programs.

As a group, local providers can accomplish much:

Initiating a dialogue with local offices of Federal

entities such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take full

advantage of excess commodities and its other programs or with the U.S.

Department of Labor's Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA);

Working with Federal programs that require the input of

local providers such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development's (HUD's) Community Development Block Grant and Emergency

Shelter Grant and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services'

Health Care for the Homeless;

Pooling agency efforts to gain Federal (for example, HUD's

Transitional Housing Program) and private foundation grants;

Leveraging EFSP funds within the community by encouraging

matches of local EFSP allocations from State and local governments and

private resources; and,

Exchanging ideas on administrative and accounting methods

that can improve delivery of services and focus on the collaborative

rather than the competitive aspects of agency relations.

Eleven years ago this program began as a one-time effort to help

address urgent needs. The survival of this public-private partnership

is not only a testament to needs, but also to the effectiveness of EFSP

as an example of local decision-making and community responsibility in

attempting to meet those needs.

EFSP is a reminder of this nation's willingness to confront

difficult problems within society in new ways. But most importantly,

EFSP has fed and sheltered homeless and hungry people, it has

maintained homes and the families in those homes, and it has created

useful public-private partnerships within communities.

Section 1.0 Background and Introduction

The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) was established on

March 24, 1983, with the signing of the ``Jobs Stimulus Bill,'' Public

Law 98-8. That legislation created a National Board, chaired by FEMA,

which consisted of representatives of the American Red Cross; Catholic

Charities, USA; the Salvation Army; Council of Jewish Federations,

Inc.; United Way of America; and the National Council of Churches of

Christ in the U.S.A.

Since that first piece of legislation in 1983, through its

authorization under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act

(Pub. L. 100-77--signed into law on July 24, 1987, subsequently

reauthorized under Public Law 100-628, and signed into law on November

7, 1988), the EFSP has distributed more than $1.1 billion to over

10,500 social service agencies in more than 2,500 communities across

the country.

From its inception, the unique features of this program have been

the partnerships it has established. At the national level, the Federal

government and Board member organizations have the legal responsibility

to work together to set allocations criteria and establish program

guidelines. Such coalitions, as set forth in the law, are even more

vital on the local level. In each community Local Boards make the most

significant decisions on their own make-up and operation, the types of

services most in need of supplemental help, what organizations should

be funded and for what purpose and amount. These portions of the law

have remained unchanged and are the core of this unique public-private

partnership.

Section 1.1 Purpose

This publication is developed by the National Board to outline the

roles, responsibilities, and implementation procedures which shall be

followed by the Local Boards, Local Recipient Organizations (LROs),

State Set-Aside (SSA) Committees, National Board, and FEMA in the

distribution and use of these funds. National in scope, EFSP will

provide food and shelter assistance to individuals in need through

local private voluntary organizations and local governments in areas

designated by the National Board as being in highest need.

The intent of EFSP is to meet emergency needs by supplementing and

expanding the food and shelter assistance that individuals might

currently be receiving, as well as to help those who are receiving no

assistance. Individuals who received assistance under previous programs

may again be recipients, providing they meet local eligibility

requirements.

Section 2.0 Concept of Operations.

(a) Secretariat of National Board. United Way of America will act

as the National Board's Secretariat and fiscal agent and perform the

necessary administrative duties that the Board must accomplish.

(b) Funds distribution. Funds distributed by the National Board

will be to areas of greatest need (refer to section 2.3(a) and

Supplementary Information, above, for jurisdiction distribution formula

and funding requirements).

(c) Distribution to LROs. National Board funds will be distributed

to LROs and Fiscal Agents certified eligible by Local Boards. (Refer to

section 2.2(e) for selection of LROs and section 2.2(f) for the Fiscal

Agent/Fiscal Conduit Agency Relationship).

(d) Administrative allowance limitation. There is an administrative

allowance limitation of two percent (2%) for local jurisdictions, one-

half of one percent (0.5%) for SSA Committees (when in operation), and

one percent (1%) for the National Board. Local administrative funds are

intended for use by LROs and not for reimbursement of program or

administrative costs which any recipient's parent organization (its

State or regional offices) might incur as a result of this additional

funding.

(e) Notification of award eligibility. The National Board will

notify qualifying jurisdictions of award eligibility within 60 days

following allocation by FEMA. Unused or recaptured funds will be

reallocated by the National Board, except in the case of SSA counties

whose funds may be reallocated by the respective SSA Committees.

(f) Funds end-date. All funds shall be paid out by LROs and

spending shall cease by their jurisdiction's selected end date. Local

Boards have until one month following their end date to submit final

reports and complete documentation of expenses (for specified LROs

only) to the National Board.

Those LROs not required to submit documentation to the National

Board must satisfy the Local Board that all funds have been expended in

accordance with National Board guidelines. Q04

Note: Local Boards and LROs are reminded that although

documentation may not be required to be submitted with their final

report, they are subject to random audits which may require the

submission of documentation at a later date.

Section 2.1 Financial Terms and Conditions

(a) Definitions. Local Recipient Organization refers to the local

private or public organizations that will receive any award of funds

from the National Board.

Award refers to the award of funds made by the National Board to a

local private or public organization on the recommendation of a Local

Board.

End-of-program date refers to the date, as agreed upon by Local and

National Board, by which all monies in a given jurisdiction must be

spent or returned.

(b) Amendments. An award may be amended at any time by a written

modification. Amendments that reflect the rights and obligations of

either party shall be executed by both the National Board and the LRO.

Administrative amendments such as changes in accounting data may be

issued unilaterally by the National Board.

(c) Local Board authority related to LROs. (1) The Local Board is

responsible for monitoring expenditures of LROs providing food,

emergency services, or both, authorizing the adjustment of funds

between food and shelter programs, and reallocating funds from one LRO

to another.

(2) Local Boards may not alter or change National Board cost

eligibility or approve expenditures outside the National Board's

criteria without National Board permission. (Refer to Section 5.0 on

Variances and waivers.)

(3) A Local Board can call back funds from an LRO and reallocate to

another LRO in the case of gross negligence, inadequate use of funds,

failure to use funds for purposes intended, or for any other violation

of the National Board guidelines, or in cases of critical need in the

community. The Local Board must advise, in writing, all LROs of any

reduction or reallocation of their original award.

(4) If the Local Board discovers ineligible expenditures by an LRO,

the Local Board must send to the organization a written request for

reimbursement of the amount. The National Board must also be notified.

If the LRO is unwilling or unable to reimburse the National Board for

the ineligible expenditures, the Local Board must refer the matter to

the National Board. The National Board may ask the Local Board to take

further action to see that reimbursement of ineligible expenditures is

made to the National Board, or the National Board may refer the matter

to FEMA.

If the Local Board suspects that fraud has been committed by an

LRO, the Local Board must contact the Office of the Inspector General,

FEMA, in writing or by telephone at 1-800-323-8603 with details of

suspected fraud or misuse of Federal funds.

(5) If an LRO received an award under previous phases, it must not

include those funds in any reporting for the present awards. Reports

should be confined to the amount granted by the National Board under

the new appropriations legislation.

(d) Cash Depositories. (1) Any money advanced to the LRO under the

terms of this award must be deposited in a bank with Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Federal Savings & Loan Insurance

Corporation (FSLIC) insurance coverage, and the balance exceeding the

FDIC or FSLIC coverage must be collaterally secured. Interest income

earned on these monies must be put back into program costs.

(2) LROs are encouraged to use minority banks (a bank which is

owned at least 50 percent by minority group members). This is

consistent with the national goal of expanding the opportunities for

minority business enterprises. A list of minority-owned banks can be

obtained from the Office of Minority Business Enterprises, Department

of Commerce, Washington, DC 20203.

(e) Retention and custodial requirements for records. (1) Financial

records, supporting documentation, statistical records, and all other

records pertinent to the award shall be retained for a period of three

years, with the following exceptions:

(i) If any litigation, claim or audit is started before the

expiration of the three-year period, the records shall be retained

until all litigation, claims or audit findings involving the records

have been resolved.

(ii) Records for nonexpendable property, if any, acquired in part

with Federal funds shall be retained for three years after submission

of a final report. Nonexpendable property is defined as tangible

property having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition

cost of more than $300 per unit.

(2) The retention period starts from the date of the submission by

the LRO of the final expenditure report.

(3) The National Board may request transfer of certain records to

its custody from the LRO when it determines that the records possess

long-term retention value. The LRO shall make such transfers as

requested.

(4) The Director of FEMA, the Comptroller General of the United

States, and the National Board, or any of their duly authorized

representatives, shall have access to any pertinent books, documents,

papers, and records of the recipient organization, and its subgrantees

to make audits, examinations, excerpts and transcripts.

(f) Financial management systems. (1) The LRO/fiscal agent or

fiscal conduit shall maintain a financial management system that

provides for the following:

(i) Accurate, current and complete disclosures of the financial

results of this program.

(ii) Records that identify adequately the source and application of

funds for federally supported activities. These records shall contain

information pertaining to Federal awards, authorizations, obligations,

unobligated balances, assets, outlays, and incomes.

(iii) Effective control over and accountability for all funds,

property, and other assets.

(iv) Procedures for determining eligibility of costs in accordance

with the provisions of the EFSP manual.

(v) Accounting records that are supported by source documentation.

The LRO must maintain and retain a register of cash receipts and

disbursements and original supporting documentation such as purchase

orders, invoices, canceled checks, and whatever other documentation is

necessary to support its cost under the program.

(vi) A systematic method to ensure timely and appropriate

resolution of audit findings and recommendations.

(vii) In cases where more than one civil jurisdiction (e.g., a city

and a balance of county, or several counties) recommends awards to the

same LRO, the organization can combine these funds in a single account.

However, separate program records for each civil jurisdiction award

must be kept.

(g) Audit requirements. The LRO will be eligible to receive funds

if it arranges for an audit of funds to coincide with the next

scheduled annual audit of its financial affairs. An original and two

copies of this audit will be provided to the National Board on request.

It is not necessary to have a separate, independent audit for this

award so long as program funds are treated as a separate element in the

agency's regular annual audit. If the LRO does not have a certified

annual audit, its audit must be provided by a Local Board-designated

fiscal agent for the recipient organization willing to account for the

funds. No funds will be issued to an LRO funded in the previous phase

that has not completed an annual audit.

All National Board-funded agencies (both governmental and not-for-

profit) that receive $100,000 or more in Federal funds must comply with

the Single Audit Act, OMB Circular A-133. This $100,000 could be

exclusively EFSP funds or a combination of EFSP funds and other Federal

funds which an agency might be receiving. In addition to compliance

with the Single Audit Act, the National Board requires all EFSP-funded

agencies to meet the requirements stated in this plan regarding program

compliance, reporting, documentation and submission of documentation.

(h) Payment. A first payment shall be made to the LRO by the

Secretariat upon recommendation of the Local Board and approval by the

National Board. An interim report will be mailed with the second and

third check requests to be completed by each agency and mailed to the

National Board. Second/third installments will be held until the

jurisdiction's final Local Board report and documentation for the

previous year has been reviewed and found to be clear.

(i) Financial reporting requirements. LROs shall submit a financial

status report to the Local Board which will forward it to the National

Board within one month after the jurisdiction's program ending date.

The National Board shall provide the LRO, through the Local Board,

with the necessary report forms well in advance of report deadlines.

(j) Closeout procedures. (1) The following definitions shall apply

to closeout procedures:

``Close-out'' is the process by which the National Board determines

that all applicable administrative actions and all required work

pertaining to the award have been completed.

``Disallowed costs'' are those charges that the National Board

determined to be unallowable in accordance with the legislation,

National Board requirements, applicable Federal cost principles, or

other conditions contained in the award. The applicable cost principles

for Private Voluntary Organizations are contained in OMB Circular A-

122, ``Cost Principles Applicable for Non-Profit Agencies,'' and OMB

Circular A-110, ``Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and

Other Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and

Other Non-Profit Organizations.'' The applicable cost principles for

Public Organizations are contained in OMB Circular A-87, ``Cost

Principles for State Agencies and Units of Local Governments.'' If

unsure of where to find these circulars, check with your local

Congressional Representative.

(k) Lobbying. Public Law 101-121, section 319, states that an LRO

shall not use federally appropriated grant funds for lobbying

activities. This condition bars the use of Federal money for political

activities, but does not in any way restrict lobbying or political

activities paid for with non-Federal funds. This condition prohibits

the use of Federal grant funds for the following activities:

(1) Federal, State or local electioneering and support of such

entities as campaign organizations and political action committees;

(2) Direct lobbying of the Congress and State legislatures to

influence legislation;

(3) Grassroots lobbying concerning either Federal or State

legislation;

(4) Lobbying of the executive branch in connection with decisions

to sign or veto enrolled legislation; and,

(5) Efforts to utilize State or local officials to lobby the

Congressional or State Legislatures.

Secton 2.2 Organization, Roles, and Responsibilities

(a) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA will perform

the following EFSP activities:

(1) Constitute a National Board consisting of individuals

affiliated with United Way of America; the Salvation Army; the National

Council of Churches of Christ in the USA; Catholic Charities, USA; the

Council of Jewish Federations, Inc.; the American Red Cross; and FEMA.

(2) Chair the National Board, using parliamentary procedures and

consensus by the National Board as the mode of operation.

(3) Provide policy guidance, management oversight, Federal

coordination, and staff assistance to the National Board.

(4) Award the grant to the National Board.

(5) Assist the Secretariat in implementing the National Board

Program.

(6) Report to Congress on the year's program activities through the

Interagency Council on the Homeless Annual Report.

(7) Conduct audits of the program.

(8) Initiate Federal collection procedures to collect funds due

when the efforts of the National Board have not been successful.

(b) National Board. The National Board will:

(1) Select jurisdictions of highest need for food and shelter

assistance and determine amount to be distributed to each.

(2) Notify national organizations interested in emergency food and

shelter to publicize the availability of funds.

(3) Develop the operational manual for distributing funds and

establish criteria for expenditure of funds.

(4) In jurisdictions that received previous awards, notify the

former Local Board chair that new funds are available. In areas newly

selected for funding, notify the local United Way, American Red Cross,

Salvation Army, or local government official. The National Board will

notify qualifying jurisdictions of award eligibility within 60 days

following allocation by FEMA.

(5) Provide copies of award notification materials to National

Board member affiliates and other interested parties.

(6) Secure certification forms and board rosters from Local Boards

that funds will be used in accordance with established criteria.

(7) Distribute funds to selected LROs.

(8) Hear appeals and grant waivers.

(9) Establish an equitable system to accomplish the reallocation of

unclaimed or unused funds.

(10) Ensure that funds are properly accounted for, and that funds

due are collected.

(11) Provide consultation and technical assistance to local

jurisdictions as necessary to monitor program compliance.

(12) Submit end-of-program report on jurisdictions' use of funds to

FEMA.

(13) Conduct a compliance review of food and shelter expenditures

made under this program for specified LROs. The National Board, FEMA,

the independent accounting firm selected by the National Board, or the

Inspector General's office may also conduct an audit of these funds.

(14) Monitor LRO compliance with OMB Circular A-133.

(c) State Set-Aside (SSA). (1) The SSA process has been adopted to

allow greater flexibility in selection of jurisdictions and is intended

to target pockets of homelessness or poverty in non-qualifying

jurisdictions (refer to Supplementary Information, above, on qualifying

criteria), areas experiencing drastic economic changes such as plant

closings, areas with high levels of unemployment or poverty which do

not meet the minimum 500 unemployed, or jurisdictions that have

documented measures of need which are not adequately reflected in

unemployment and poverty data.

(2) The distribution of funds to SSA Committees will be based on a

ratio calculated as follows: the State's average number of unemployed

in non-funded jurisdictions divided by the average number of unemployed

in non-funded jurisdictions nationwide equals the State's percentage of

the total amount available for SSA awards.

(3) An SSA Committee in each State will recommend high-need

jurisdictions and award amounts to the National Board. Priority

consideration is to be given to jurisdictions otherwise not meeting

criteria for funding, although funded jurisdictions are not exempt from

receiving additional funding. SSA Committees should also consider the

special circumstances of jurisdictions that qualified in previous

funding phases but are not eligible in the current phase. The State

Committees may wish to provide these jurisdictions with an allocation

so that the abrupt change in funding status is not disruptive to local

providers. SSA Committees are encouraged to consider current and

significant State or local data in their deliberations. Although the

National Board staff provides national data to the SSA Committees, it

does not mandate any particular formula. These committees are free to

act independently in choosing eligible jurisdictions.

(4) In each State, the State United Way (or United Way in the

capital city) will be notified of the award amount available to the SSA

Committee. In a State where there are affiliates of the voluntary

organizations represented on the National Board, they must be invited

to serve on the State Committee. If no single State affiliate exists,

an appropriate representative should be invited. The Governor or his/

her representative will replace the FEMA member. State Committees are

encouraged to expand participation by inviting or notifying other

private non-profit organizations on the State level. The National Board

encourages the inclusion of Native American representation on the State

Committee.

(5) Members of the SSA Committee shall elect a person to chair the

committee.

(6) The SSA Committees are responsible for the following:

(i) SSA Committees are charged with recommending high-need

jurisdictions and award amounts within the State. When selecting

jurisdictions with demonstrated need, the National Board encourages the

consideration of counties incorporating or adjoining Indian

reservations. The SSA Committee has 25 working days to notify the

National Board in writing of its selections and the appropriate contact

person for each area.

Note: The minimum award amount for a single jurisdiction is

$1,000 and only whole-dollar amounts can be allocated.

(ii) Notification to the National Board of selection criteria that

were used to determine which jurisdictions within the State was

selected to receive funds.

(iii) The National Board will then notify these jurisdictions

directly.

(iv) In the event that funds are not claimed by SSA jurisdictions,

SSA Committees may recommend that other jurisdictions receive the

reallocated funds.

(d) Local Board. (1) Each area designated by the National Board to

receive funds shall constitute a Local Board. In a local community

where there are affiliates of the United Way of America, The Salvation

Army, the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.,

Catholic Charities, U.S.A, Council of Jewish Federations, and the

American Red Cross, which are represented on the National Board, they

must be invited to serve on the Local Board. The National Board

mandates that if a jurisdiction is located within or encompasses a

federally recognized Indian reservation, a Native American

representative must be invited to serve on the Local Board. All Local

Boards are required to include in their membership a homeless or

formerly homeless person. Local Boards should seek recommendations from

LROs for an appropriate representative. The County Executive/Mayor,

appropriate head of local government or his or her designee will

replace the FEMA member. An agency's own governing board is not an

acceptable substitute for a Local Board. Local Boards are encouraged to

expand participation and membership by inviting or notifying minority

populations, other private non-profit organizations and government

organizations; the jurisdiction should be geographically represented as

well.

The members of each Local Board will elect a chair. Local Board

membership is not honorary; there are specific duties the board must

perform. If a member cannot regularly attend meetings, the member

should be replaced by the member's designated agency. If a member must

be absent from a meeting, the member's organization may designate an

alternate.

(2) If a locality has not previously received funding and is now

designated as being in high need, the National Board has designated the

local United Way to constitute and convene a Local Board as described

above. If there is no local United Way, or it does not convene the

board, the local American Red Cross, the local Salvation Army, or a

local government official will be responsible for convening the initial

meeting of the Local Board.

If a locality has previously received National Board funding, the

former chairman of the Local Board will be contacted regarding any new

funding the locality is designated to receive.

Each award phase is new; therefore, the Local Board is a new entity

in every phase. The convener of the Local Board must ask each agency to

designate or redesignate a representative every program year.

(3) The Local Board must establish and follow regular procedures.

The National Board encourages Local Boards to hold at least two

meetings: a meeting to allocate the grant and a second to monitor LRO

activities. A majority of members must be present for the meeting to be

official. (Attendance and decision-making minutes be kept). Meeting

minutes must be approved by the Local Board at the next meeting. They

must also be available to the National Board, Federal authorities, and

the public on request.

(4) The Local Board will have 25 working days after the

notification of the award selection by the National Board in which to

advertise and promote the program and consider all private voluntary

and public organizations for participation, including those on Indian

reservations. Consideration must be given to any agency providing or

capable of providing emergency food and shelter services, not only

those represented on the Local Board or affiliates of State or national

organizations. Advertising must take place prior to the Local Board's

allocation of funds. Failure to advertise properly will delay

processing of the jurisdiction's board plan.

(5) The Local Board selects and recommends which local

organizations should receive grants and the amounts of the grants.

Since member agencies of the Local Board may also apply for funding,

care must be taken that every applicant is judged by common, consistent

criteria. Local Board members should strive to use sound judgement and

fairness in their approach. The Local Board should be prepared to

justify an allocation of one-third (\1/3\) or more of its total award

to a single LRO.

Note: The minimum grant per LRO is $300 and only whole-dollar

amounts may be allocated.

(6) Local Boards are responsible for monitoring LROs that receive

over $100,000 in Federal funds and ensure that they comply with the

Single Audit Act, OMB Circular A-133.

(7) Local Boards must complete and return all required forms to the

National Board. (Local Board Plan, Local Board Certification Form, and

Local Board Roster).

(8) Local Boards shall secure and retain signed forms from each LRO

certifying that program guidelines have been read and understood, and

that the LROs will comply with cost eligibility and reporting

requirements.

(9) Local Boards must establish a system to ensure that no

duplication of service occurs within the expenditure categories of

rent, mortgage or utility assistance (RMU).

(10) Local Boards must notify the National Board of changes in the

Local Board chair, staff contact, or LRO contacts, including complete

addresses and phone numbers.

(11) Local Boards that determine they can better utilize their

resources by merging with neighboring boards may do so. The head of

government or his or her designee for each jurisdiction must sit on the

merged board, along with agency representatives from each jurisdiction.

The merged Local Board must ensure that the award amount designated for

each civil jurisdiction is used to provide assistance to individuals

within that jurisdiction.

(12) Local Boards are required to be familiar with current

guidelines and to provide technical assistance to service providers.

Advice and counsel can be provided by National Board staff.

(13) An appeals process must be established to address

participation or funding including, where deemed appropriate, the

involvement of individuals not a part of the dispute in the decision,

to hear and resolve appeals made by funded or non-funded organizations,

and to investigate complaints made by individuals or organizations.

Appeals should be handled promptly. Cases that cannot be handled

locally should be referred in writing to the National Board and include

details on action that has been taken. Cases involving fraud or other

misuse of Federal funds should be reported to the Office of the

Inspector General, FEMA, in writing or by telephone at 1-800-323-8603.

(14) The chair of the Local Board or his or her designated staff

will be the central coordination point of contact between the National

Board and the LRO selected to receive assistance from EFSP. To

facilitate program coordination, the chair of the Local Board will

contact the State agencies through which surplus food and other Federal

assistance are provided.

(15) Local Boards will be responsible for monitoring programs

carried out by the LROs they have selected to receive funds. Local

Boards should work with LROs to ensure that funds are being used to

meet immediate food and shelter needs on an ongoing basis. Local Boards

may not alter or change National Board cost eligibility or approve

expenditures outside the National Board's criteria without National

Board permission.

(16) The Local Board should reallocate funds whenever it determines

that the original allocation plan does not reflect the actual need for

services or if an LRO is unable to use its full award effectively.

Funds must be recovered and may be reallocated if an LRO makes

ineligible expenditures or uses funds for items that have clearly not

been approved by the Local Board. Funds held in escrow for LROs which

have unresolved compliance problems can be reallocated or may be

reclaimed by the National Board.

The Local Board may approve reallocation of funds between LROs that

are already participating in the program. However, the National Board

must be notified in writing. The Local Board may also return funds to

the National Board for reissuance to another LRO or request

reallocation of remaining funds before they are released by the

National Board (e.g., second/third payments).

If the Local Board wishes to reallocate funds to an agency that was

not approved on the original board plan, a written request for approval

must be made to the National Board. An LRO must be approved by the

National Board prior to receipt of funds.

If a Local Board is unable to satisfy the National Board that it

can utilize funds in accordance with this plan, the National Board may

reallocate the funds to other jurisdictions.

(17) Should anyone have reason to suspect that EFSP funds are being

used for purposes contrary to the law and guidelines governing the

program, the National Board recommends taking action to assist in

bringing such practices to a halt.

The National Board requires that the Office of the Inspector

General, FEMA, be contacted immediately when fraud, theft, or other

criminal activity is suspected in connection with the use of EFSP

funds, or the operation of a facility receiving EFSP funds. This

notification can be made by calling the FEMA Inspector General's

Hotline at 1-800-323-8603, or by writing to: Office of the Inspector

General, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472. The complainant

should include as much information as possible to support the

allegation and preferably furnish his/her name and telephone number so

that the special agents assigned to the Inspector General's office may

make a follow-up contact. The confidentiality of any communication made

with the Office of Inspector General is protected by Federal law.

A complainant desiring to remain totally anonymous should make a

follow-up phone call to the Office of the Inspector General within 30

days from the date of the original complaint so that any follow-up

questions may be asked. Follow-up calls should be made to 1-202-646-

3894 during normal business hours, Eastern Standard Time (charges may

be reversed). The caller should advise that he/she is making a follow-

up call regarding a prior anonymous complaint. The Office of the

Inspector General, FEMA, will appropriately notify both local law

enforcement authorities and the National Board concerning the substance

of the allegations and the results of the investigation.

(18) Reports to the National Board on LROs' expenditures shall be

submitted as the date each LRO's second/third check is requested and a

final report should be submitted one month after the jurisdiction's

end-of-program date.

(19) After the close of the program, the accuracy of all LROs'

reports and documentation shall be reviewed. Documentation for

specified LROs should be forwarded to the National Board as requested.

In the event of expenditures violating the eligible costs under this

award, the Local Board must require reimbursement to the National

Board.

Local Boards are required to remain in operation until all program

and compliance requirements of the National Board have been satisfied.

All records related to the program must be retained for three (3) years

from the end-of-program date.

(20) Each jurisdiction will be granted the option to extend its

spending period by 30, 60, or 90 days. This option will be offered

during the summer of each phase. The extension applies to the entire

jurisdiction. Should the jurisdiction receive a grant in the next

phase, that phase's spending period will begin the day after the chosen

end-date.

(e) Local Recipient Organization. (1) In selecting LROs to receive

funds, the Local Board must consider the demonstrated ability of an

organization to provide food and shelter assistance. LROs should be

selected to receive funds to supplement and extend eligible ongoing

services, not be funded in anticipation of a needed service (e.g.,

victims of fire, flood, or tornado); neither should agencies be

selected for funding due to budget shortfalls nor for cuts in other

funding sources. Local participation in the program is not limited to

organizations that are part of any State or national organization.

Agencies on Indian reservations are eligible to receive EFSP funds if

they meet LRO requirements as set forth in the program manual.

Organizations that received awards from previous legislation may again

be eligible provided that the organization still meets eligibility

requirements.

(2) For a local organization to be eligible for funding it must:

(i) Be nonprofit or an agency of government;

(ii) Have an accounting system or an approved fiscal agent;

(iii) Have a Federal employer identification number (FEIN), or be

in the process of securing FEIN (Note: contact local Internal Revenue

Service (IRS) office for more information on securing FEIN and the

necessary form [SS-4];

(iv) Conduct an independent annual audit (Note: if LRO was funded

in previous phase, information regarding annual audit must be included

on final report; no funds will be issued until annual audit has been

conducted);

(v) Practice nondiscrimination. Those agencies with a religious

affiliation wishing to participate in the program must agree not to

refuse services to an applicant based on religion or require attendance

at religious services as a condition of assistance, nor will such

groups engage in any religious proselytizing in any program receiving

EFSP funds; and,

(vi) For private voluntary organizations, have a voluntary board.

Each LRO will be responsible for certifying in writing to the Local

Board that it has read and agrees to abide by the cost eligibility and

reporting standards of this publication and any other requirements made

by the Local Board.

An LRO may not operate as a vendor for itself or other LROs except

for the shared maintenance fee for food banks.

(3) LROs selected for funding must:

(i) Maintain records according to the guidelines set forth in the

manual. Consult the Local Board chair/staff on matters requiring

interpretation or clarification prior to incurring an expense or

entering into a contract. It is important to have a thorough

understanding of these guidelines to avoid ineligible expenditures and

consequent repayment of funds. LROs' questions can be answered by

National Board staff at (703) 706-9660.

(ii) Provide services within the intent of the program. Funds are

to be used to supplement and extend or initiate food and shelter

services, not as a substitute for other program funds. LROs should take

the most cost-effective approach in buying or leasing eligible items/

services, and should limit purchases to essential items within the

$300.00 limit for equipment, unless prior approval has been granted by

the National Board.

(iii) Deposit funds for this program in a federally insured bank

account. Proper documentation must be maintained for all expenditures

under this program according to the guidelines. Agencies should ensure

that selected banks will return canceled checks. LROs' expenditures and

documentation will be subject to review for program compliance by the

Local Board, National Board or Federal authorities. Records must be

maintained for three years and any interest income must be put back

into program expenditures.

(iv) LRO Documentation of EFSP expenditures requires copies of

canceled checks (both sides) and itemized vendor invoices. An

acceptable invoice has the following characteristics:

(A) It must be vendor originated;

(B) It must have name of vendor;

(C) It must have name of purchaser;

(D) It must have date of purchase;

(E) It must be itemized; and,

(F) It must have total cost of purchase.

All LROs will be required to periodically submit documentation to

the National Board to ensure continued program compliance. Any LRO

receiving over $100,000 in Federal funds must comply with the Single

Audit Act, OMB Circular A-133.

(v) In addition to the aforementioned documentation, reports to the

Local Board must be submitted by their due date. Interim report/second

and third check request forms will be enclosed in the LROs' first check

package. When the LRO is ready to request its second/third check it

must complete and sign the interim report and forward it to the Local

Board for its review and approval. The reverse side (second/third check

request) should be completed by the Local Board chair and mailed to the

National Board. LROs must complete all portions of the final report

form, return two copies to the Local Board, including one copy of

documentation if requested, and retain a copy for their records.

(vi) The LRO must work with the Local Board to quickly clear up any

problems related to compliance exception(s) at the end of the program.

(vii) The LRO shall contact the Local Board regarding technical

assistance, interpretation of guidelines, and resources from other

Federal programs, such as U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) surplus

food.

(f) Fiscal Agent/Fiscal Conduit Relationship. (1) For National

Board purposes, a fiscal agent/fiscal conduit is an agency that is

serving as the mechanism for other agencies to benefit from EFSP funds.

(2) The fiscal agent/fiscal conduit is the organization responsible

for the receipt of funds, disbursement of funds to vendors, and

documentation of funds received. The fiscal agent/fiscal conduit must

meet all of the requirements of an LRO.

(3) Local Boards may wish to use a fiscal agent/fiscal conduit when

they desire to fund an agency not having an adequate accounting system

or not conducting an annual audit.

(4) Any agency benefitting from funds received by a fiscal agent/

fiscal conduit must meet all of the criteria to be an LRO except the

accounting system and annual audit requirements and sign the Fiscal

Agent/Fiscal Conduit Relationship Certification Form.

(5) Fiscal agents/fiscal conduits may cut checks to vendors only.

They may not cut checks to the agencies on whose behalf they are acting

or to agencies/sites under their ``umbrella.'' The exception to this is

when an agency is using the per diem allowance.

(6) Fiscal agents will be required to submit individual interim and

final reports for each agency. Fiscal conduits will file a single

interim report on their awards along with a breakdown of agencies and

spending with the final report.

(7) Fiscal agents may not fund an LRO with an outstanding

compliance exception. If a fiscal agent has an unresolved compliance

exception, any other funds awarded to the fiscal agent will be held in

escrow until all compliance exceptions are resolved.

Section 2.3 General Guidelines

(a) Designation of target areas. Local jurisdictions will be

selected to receive funds from the National Board based on average

unemployment statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor for the most

current 12-month period (July 1992-August 1993) available. Also used

are poverty statistics from the 1990 Census. The Board adopted this

combined approach in order to target funds for high-need areas more

effectively. Funds designated for a particular jurisdiction must be

used to provide services within that jurisdiction.

The National Board based its determination of high-need

jurisdictions on four factors:

1. Most current twelve-month national unemployment rates;

2. Total number of unemployed within a civil jurisdiction;

3. Total number of individuals below the poverty level within a

civil jurisdiction; and,

4. The total population of the civil jurisdiction.

In addition to unemployment, poverty was used to qualify a

jurisdiction for receipt of an award.

Jurisdictions were selected under Phase XII (PL 103-124) according

to the following criteria:

Jurisdictions, including balance of counties, with 18,000+

unemployed and a 6.1% rate of unemployment.

Jurisdictions, including balance of counties, with 500 to

17,999 unemployed and an 8.5% rate of unemployment.

Jurisdictions, including balance of counties, with 500 or

more unemployed and an 11.7% rate of poverty. Jurisdictions with a

minimum of 500 unemployed may qualify for an award based upon their

rate of unemployment or their rate of poverty. Once a jurisdiction's

eligibility is established, the National Board will determine its fund

distribution based on a ratio calculated as follows: The average number

of unemployed within an eligible area divided by the average number of

unemployed covered by the national program equals the area's portion of

the award (less National Board administrative costs, and less that

portion of program funds required to fulfill designated awards).

Area's avg. No. unemployed--Avg. No. unemployed in all eligible areas =

Area's percent of the award (less National Board's administrative costs

and designated awards)

Puerto Rico and U.S. territories will receive a designated percentage

of the total award based on the decision of the National Board.

(b) Grant award process. (1) United Way of America has been

designated as the fiscal agent for the National Board and as such will

process all Local Board plans. Payments will be made to organizations

recommended by Local Boards for funding. Local Boards have the right to

reallocate funds throughout the program period, as they determine

necessary. When a Local Board reallocation between two or more LROs

occurs, the Local Board must promptly notify the National Board in

writing so that the National Board's records can be updated

accordingly.

(2) The National Board offers two methods of payment to LROs. The

two methods are either direct deposit (electronic funds transfer) or

checks. The National Board encourages LROs to take advantage of direct

deposit where possible.

(3) To ensure greater accountability and reporting, awards totaling

less than $100,000 are paid in two equal installments. Awards totaling

$100,000 or more will be paid in three equal installments.

(4) The National Board will distribute second/third payments once

the jurisdiction's compliance review is completed for the previous

program period. Second/third payments will be held in escrow until all

compliance exceptions are satisfied by the LRO.

All payments will be mailed directly to the LRO. Second and third

payments will be mailed to the LRO only upon the written request of the

Local Board Chair which encloses the LROs interim report. The Local

Board will authorize second and/or third payments once it is assured

that the organization is implementing the current program as intended

and according to the guidelines in the Plan.

(c) Client eligibility. The National Board does not set client

eligibility criteria. Local Boards may choose to set such criteria. If

the Local Board does not set eligibility criteria, the LRO may use its

existing criteria or set criteria for assistance under this award.

However, the LROs criteria must provide for assistance to needy

individuals without discrimination (age, race, sex, religion, national

origin, or handicap).

Note: Funds allocated to a jurisdiction are intended for use

within that jurisdiction. Residents of or transients in a specific

jurisdiction should seek service within that jurisdiction.

Citizenship is not an eligibility requirement to receive assistance

from EFSP. The National Board does not mandate nor recommend the use of

any particular existing criteria (i.e., food stamp guidelines, welfare

guidelines, or income guidelines).

Section 2.4 Eligibility of Costs

The intent of this appropriation is for the purchase of food and

shelter to supplement and extend current available resources and not to

substitute or reimburse ongoing programs and services. Questions

regarding interpretation of the program's guidelines should be cleared

by the LRO with the Local Board prior to action. Local Boards unsure of

the meaning of these guidelines should contact the National Board at

(703) 706-9660 for clarification prior to advising the LRO.

If an expenditure requested by an LRO is not listed below as

eligible, the Local Board has the option of requesting a waiver from

the National Board for consideration.

(c) Administrative allowance. (1) There is an administrative

allowance limitation of two percent (2%) of total funds received by the

Local Board, excluding any interest earned. This allowance is a part of

the total award, not in addition to the award. The local administrative

allowance is intended for use by LROs or Local Boards and not for

reimbursement of the program or administrative costs that a recipient's

parent organization (its State or regional offices) might incur as a

result of this additional funding.

(2) The Local Board may elect to use, for its own administrative

costs, all or any portion of the 2 percent allowance. The decision on

distribution of the allowance among LROs rests with the Local Board. No

LRO may receive an allowance greater than 2 percent of that LROs award

amount unless the LRO is providing the administrative support for the

Local Board and it is approved by the National Board.

(3) The SSA Committee, when in operation, may utilize a maximum of

one-half of one percent (0.5%) for its administrative costs in

allocating the SSA grant. As with Local Board awards, this

administrative allowance is part of the total award, not in addition to

the award.

(4) Any of the administrative allowance not used must be put back

into program funds for additional services.

Note: The administrative allowance may only be allocated in

whole-dollar amounts.

Section 3.0 Independent Annual Audit Requirements

To be eligible to receive or administer EFSP funds, every LRO must

have an independent annual audit. Depending on several factors (the

size of the agency's budget, the number of Federal grants the agency

receives, the size of the agency's grant, the complexity of the

agency's accounting system, etc.), the agency's audit may or may not

require the expertise of a certified public accountant. In some

instances, an agency's accounting system is so simple and the

restricted funds are only from EFSP, that a knowledgeable bookkeeper

could perform the audit. In other cases, the agency has many Federal

grants and is required to have an A-133 audit which must be performed

by a CPA. Agencies must carefully choose what type of audit is required

and select an appropriate independent auditor.

An independent audit is performed by someone unaffiliated with the

organization. For instance, an agency's own accountant cannot audit his

employer's books. The audit must include an examination of the agency's

fiscal controls as well as an inspection of records (including

journals, ledgers, checkbooks and bank statements, receipts, contracts,

etc.). Finally, the auditor must render an opinion on the agency's

financial records (do the records presented accurately reflect the

agency's finances?). The independent annual audit must include the

following:

(1) A balance sheet as of the last day of the fiscal year;

(2) A statement of revenue and expense for the fiscal year;

(3) A statement of internal controls;

(4) The auditor's opinion.

The agency's entire program funds must be included in the audit. The

audit must meet the generally accepted auditing standards as set by the

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For a copy of the

generally accepted auditing standards, contact the National Board

staff.

Section 4.0 Appeals Process for Participation/Funding

(a) Fairness and openness. An appeals process is a statement to

eligible agencies and to the community at large that the Local Board is

interested in fairness and openness.

A good appeals process begins with prevention. If the Local Board

includes both representatives of affiliates of the National Board and

representatives of other groups involved with assisting hungry and

homeless people, it is less likely to experience an appeal. Similarly,

if the Local Board's decision-making process is open, thorough, and

even-handed, appeals are less likely.

It is the responsibility of the Local Board to establish a written

appeals process. That process may be simple or elaborate, depending on

the needs of the community.

(b) Appeals guidelines. The appeal process should meet the

following guidelines:

(1) It should be available to agencies and to the public upon

request;

(2) It should be timely, without undue delay;

(3) It should include the basis for appeal (e.g., provision of

information not previously available to the group making the appeal or

to the Local Board; correction of erroneous information; violation of

Federal or National Board guidelines; or allegation of bias, fraud, or

misuse of Federal funds on the part of the Local Board may be cause for

appeal);

(4) The decision should be communicated to the organization making

the appeal in a timely manner. In the case of an appeal on the basis of

fraud or other abuse of Federal funds, the agency making the appeal

must be informed of the right of referral to the National Board.

(c) Primary decision maker. Except for cost and LRO eligibility,

the Local Board is the primary decision maker. Only when there is a

significant question of misapplication of guidelines, fraud, or other

abuse on the part of the Local Board will the National Board consider

action.

(d) Common appeals practices. The National Board does not mandate

any particular appeals process. However, some Local Boards have

developed processes which work well for them and may offer some help to

other communities. Common practices include the following:

(1) Set a time period of not more than 30 days for agencies or

organizations to appeal a funding decision;

(2) Require written notice of appeal, signed by the Chief Volunteer

Officer of the organization making the appeal;

(3) The first level of appeal is usually to the Local Board, or to

an executive committee of the board.

(e) Appeals boards, delegations. Some boards appoint one or more

members to act as a liaison with the organization making the appeal:

(1) In the case of an appeal for the purpose of providing

previously unavailable information or correction of erroneous

information, the process usually ends with prompt notification of

decision (within 10 working days of appeal).

(2) In the case of appeals for the purpose of contesting alleged

prejudice, violation of law or National Board guidelines, fraud, or

misuse of Federal funds, some boards have allowed appeals to a group

other than the board itself. This practice is not mandated but is

permitted by the National Board. Such groups vary. They may simply be

composed of different individuals representing the same organizations

that make up the Local Board. They may also include an entirely

different group of persons who have knowledge of the program and are

deemed by the board to be both responsible and unbiased, and to hold

the trust of the community at large.

(3) If the board chooses to delegate authority to any third party

in an appeals process, the power and authority of that body should be

clear. Is it simply advisory to the Local Board? Will the board abide

by the decisions of this body as long as they are consistent with the

law and the National Board guidelines?

(4) The disposition of appeals is often communicated by telephone

to the chief professional and volunteer officers of the organization

appealing immediately after a decision is made. In such cases, a

written communication is sent as soon as possible confirming the action

taken. The written communication is, of course, the official

notification.

(f) National Board role. It is important to reaffirm that no single

appeals process is mandated or advised by the National Board.

Section 5.0 Variances and Waivers

(a) Variances. Local Boards may receive requests for variances in

the budgets they have approved for LROs. Local Boards may allow such

changes provided that the requested items are eligible under this

program. If there is any doubt on the part of the Local Board as to

eligibility, it should contact the National Board for clarification.

If an expenditure requested by an LRO falls outside the program

guidelines, the Local Board, if in accord, should request in writing a

waiver from the National Board in advance of the expenditure.

(b) Waivers. Waivers requested because of a compliance exception

must be submitted to the Local and then National Board for review.

National Board staff will evaluate waiver requests and use discretion

to approve or deny requests. In general, the National Board considers

waiver requests that are not within the guidelines but address the

program's intent.

The waiver request from the Local Board should clearly state the

need for the exception, approximate costs, timeliness or any other

pertinent information it deems necessary for the National Board to make

its decision.

Section 6.0 Reporting Requirements

Local Boards must monitor LROs' expenditures and eligible cost

compliance throughout the program period. An interim report of

expenditures is due to the National Board with each LRO's second/third

check request. A final report (accompanied by financial documentation

for specified LROs) is due one month after the end of each

jurisdiction's program. The National Board will provide forms for all

required reports. The National Board advises Local Boards to request at

least one other report from their LROs at a time deemed appropriate by

each Local Board.

LROs that successfully completed previous program compliance

reviews and are receiving funds under this program may not be required

to submit documentation with their final reports unless specifically

asked to do so by the National Board; however, successful completion

does not mean automatic exemption from submission. Documentation will

be required for LROs not funded in the previous phase of the program.

Failure of an LRO to comply with the National Board's reporting

requirements may result in its funds being held in escrow. Funds will

be held until all reporting requirements have been satisfied. If an LRO

does not comply in a timely manner, the Local Board or National Board

may reclaim and reallocate the funds being held in escrow.

The National Board will compile the reports it receives from the

Local Boards and submit a detailed accounting of use of all program

monies in the form of a report to FEMA.

If the Local Board discovers lack of documentation, ineligible

expenditures or any other problem in an LRO report, it should contact

the LRO and attempt to correct the problem before submitting the report

to the National Board. If the National Board discovers a problem, it

will inform the Local Board and LRO and advise them of the action to be

taken. It is the responsibility of the Local Board to continue working

with LROs which have compliance problems until they have been cleared

by the Secretariat.

To avoid compliance-related problems, the Local Board should ensure

that LROs have a thorough understanding of the types of documentation

(e.g., canceled checks [both sides], invoices, contracts, lease

agreements, utility bills) they must retain to meet cost eligibility

guidelines. Items not listed as eligible or ineligible should not be

assumed to be eligible. Local Boards are advised to contact National

Board staff for clarification on items subject to interpretation.

LROs failing to clear the National Board compliance review after a

reasonable amount of time will be referred to FEMA and will remain

ineligible to receive funds until audit problems are resolved with

FEMA.

Section 7.0 Amendments to Plan

The National Board reserves the right to amend this Plan at any

time.
