Additional Requirement – 7: Executive Order 12372 Review

Certain applications are subject to Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs, as governed by Executive Order (E.O.) 12372. The order provides for State and local governmental review of proposed Federal assistance applications where a State so chooses. If an applicant’s state participates, the applicant shall contact their State single point of contact (SPOC) as early as possible to alert the SPOC of the proposed funding opportunity, the applicant’s intention to apply, and to receive instructions on the State process for coordination and review, as applicable. For proposed projects serving more than one State, the applicant is advised to contact the SPOC for each State affected. This requirement does not apply to American Indian/Alaska Native tribes or tribal organizations.
