Report Notes

The Outer Pacific Committee (OPC) compiled this report from the grant program information provided by the reporting

Federal agencies. The OPC has endeavored to capture information on the grant programs for which the Pacific

jurisdictions were funded in FY 2013 through Federal agencies and offices based in Region IX as well as select Federal

programs based outside of the Region. As such, the report is not completely encompassing since non-Region IX-based

Federal entities with potentially supporting programs such as the Department of Defense, USAID and possibly others

are not included. Each year we have identified additional Region IX-based agencies to include in the report and we will

continue to add new agencies as we become aware of their funding and program information. This report will be

posted on the Department of Health and Human Services Website (http://www.hhs.gov/iea/regional/region9/2013-

final-opc-report-feb.pdf) as well as the Department of Interior/Office of Insular Affairs Website

(http://www.doi.gov/oia/reports/outer-pacific-grants.cfm).

Please note:

o We have endeavored to accurately record the information we received from the reporting Federal agencies and

have shown the narrative text and funding amounts and totals as they were submitted to us.

o Grant programs may exist for which no Pacific jurisdiction received funding in FY 2013 – in most cases, such

programs will not appear in this report.

Eligibility: For the third time, this report includes eligibility information in the funding tables for each Federal

grant program listed.

 Where a jurisdiction was theoretically eligible to apply for a listed grant program but no funding

was awarded in FY 2013, you will see the following notation in the funding tables:

“$0 but Eligible".

 Where a jurisdiction was not eligible to apply for a listed grant program in FY 2013,

you will see the following notation in the funding tables: "Not Eligible".

 Under the Department of Labor’s “WIA Program: Discretionary Grants” in the funding table, an

asterisk indicates that qualifying information regarding program eligibility is provided below the

table.

If you would like further information on the Federal grant programs in this report, please connect with the individual

points of contact that have been provided in the narrative section of the document.

If you have any comments on this report, please contact CAPT John Walmsley at [email protected].

FEDERAL REGIONAL COUNCIL

GrantstotheOuterPacificFY2013Report

Introduction

The Federal Regional Council (FRC) is a consortium of 19 Federal Departments and Agencies representing nearly 30 program offices in

Region IX working in partnership to better serve the public. Its goal is to work in a coordinated manner to make Federal programs

more effective and efficient in Region IX. The FRC, which just celebrated its 15

anniversary, includes committees which focus on

broad geographic areas and/or special populations in the vast expanse of Region IX. These entities for 2013 are the Border

Committee, Tribal Affairs Committee, Homelessness Committee (Region IX Interagency Council on Homelessness), and

Outer Pacific Committee (OPC). Executive Orders or Administration Initiatives serve as the underlying authority to guide each

committee’s work in fulfilling Administration priorities.

Outer Pacific Committee Accomplishments

The OPC deals with issues related to the three U.S. Flag Territories: American Samoa (AS), the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana

Islands (CNMI), and Guam; and the three Freely Associated States: Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Republic of the Marshall

Islands (RMI), and Republic of Palau (ROP). It includes the Guam-CNMI Build-up Committee/Task Force that was established in 2009 to

address issues relating to the relocation of military personnel from Okinawa, Japan to Guam and to coordinate Federal agency support

to Guam and the CNMI as they prepare for the buildup in terms of programs and technical assistance, where possible.

The OPC has met regularly since 1998. By convening the participating Federal agencies, the Committee believes it can achieve better

outcomes for the people in the Pacific jurisdictions. The Committee's work plan for 2013 included the following objectives: 1)

Compilation and dissemination of the annual grants report; 2) Improved communications between Federal agencies on Pacific issues;

3) Program planning and coordination; 4) Improving grants and financial management in the jurisdictions; 5) Enhancing Central

Office/Regional Office collaboration; and 6) Increased committee membership.

In 2013 the committee convened on six occasions and is pleased to report accomplishments in the following areas:

 The OPC prepares an annual report on "Grants to the Outer Pacific" for use by Federal representatives but which is also

widely requested by officials in the Pacific jurisdictions. The current report reflecting FY 2013 grants marks the 14

year this

document has been prepared. It outlines information primarily for agencies that are represented either on the Federal

Regional Council’s Outer Pacific Committee or that have a Region IX presence. Copies of the report will be distributed for the

year in a row at the annual Interagency Group on Insular Areas (IGIA) meeting that is held after the National Governors

Association winter meeting in Washington, DC.

 The Committee continued its past cooperative efforts with the HHS Office of Minority Health and the Asian Pacific Islander

American Health Forum in addressing health disparities in the Pacific jurisdictions. The Committee also continued working

throughout the year with other governmental entities including the Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs

(DOI/OIA) to develop strategies to address inequities in health care access in the jurisdictions.

 Since the beginning days of the OPC, the issue of grants and financial management has always been a priority concern. The

committee in 2013 continued its communications with DOI/OIA, the Graduate School (formerly the USDA Graduate School)

and other partners on the development of strategies to provide training and mentorship in best practices for grants and

financial management. The Committee continues to promote the groundbreaking fiscal training and mentoring work that has

been accomplished in the Pacific by one of its member agencies, the HHS Administration for Children and Families, as a

model for other Federal agencies to emulate in improving grants and financial management practices in the jurisdictions.

On JUN 5, 2013, a select group of FRC members met with the Island Government Finance Officers’ Association in a meeting

facilitated by the Graduate School to address grants management and financial accountability issues relating to Federal

grant programs. Subsequent OPC and FRC meetings have continued to deliberate on the outcomes of the JUN 5 meeting;

the OPC and FRC memberships are moving forward with the development of strategies to build capacity in these areas.

 The Committee continued to keep its membership abreast of developments in the field of telecommunications in the Pacific.

With the rapid development of technologies and linkages in the Pacific, there continue to be major developments and

impending improvements in telecommunications capabilities that are regularly brought to the attention of the OPC.

 The Committee continues to be involved in deliberations and strategy development with the Federal effort to assist Guam in

preparing for the arrival of US Marines and their dependents, as well as other military personnel, at some point in the future.

Committee members' issues and concerns regarding the military buildup have been shared via the Committee with the

Interagency Group on Insular Affairs. The OPC also participates in the Federal Regional Council (FRC) meetings when the

FY2013 Pagevi



Governor of Guam and his staff attend to share their concerns regarding the buildup. At the end of 2009, the Guam-CNMI

Build-Up Committee/Task Force merged with the OPC and military buildup issues in the Western Pacific continue to have

high priority at OPC meetings.

 In line with the Committee’s work plan, additional Federal agencies joined the group in 2013 and participated in our

meetings.

The Outer Pacific Committee 2013 Report

This annual OPC grant report captures funding information provided primarily by the Federal programs that are active in the Pacific

jurisdictions and that are based in Region IX. In addition, input has been included from select programs operating from central offices

on the East coast. The report is organized by Federal department and includes descriptions of programs, points of contact, and funding

awarded to Pacific jurisdictions. Charts at the beginning of the report provide a summary of funding by jurisdiction and by department.

The OPC is pleased to be an integral part of the Federal Regional Council, proving that Federal agencies working together result in

improved working relationships, stronger partnerships, and better communications and outcomes.

Grants to the Outer Pacific FY 2013 Report

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

MISSION: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) works to support the American agricultural

economy to strengthen rural communities; to protect and conserve our natural resources; and to provide a safe,

sufficient, and nutritious food supply for the American people. The Department’s wide range of programs and

responsibilities touches the lives of every American every day. Website: www.usda.gov

FOOD & NUTRITION SERVICE

MISSION: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers the USDA nutrition assistance programs that provide children and low-

income people access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition education. Programs include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance

Program (SNAP, formerly called the Food Stamp Program), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and

Children (WIC), School Lunch and Breakfast, among others. Website: www.fns.usda.gov

Child & Adult Care Food Program: As part of the Child Nutrition Program, this program provides reimbursement for healthy meals

served by participating family daycare providers, child care centers, afterschool care programs, homeless shelters and adult daycare

centers. In Guam, about 1,000 children participate each day; Guam has no participating adult care centers.

For more information on this program, contact Kathryn Lee at (415) 645-1918 or [email protected].

Child Nutrition Program Block Grants (American Samoa & Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands): FNS has

separate memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with American Samoa and CNMI under which FNS provides cash block grants for

operation of nutrition assistance programs in lieu of the traditional Child Nutrition Programs. The block grants provide flexibility for the

Territory and the Commonwealth to meet their nutrition needs within certain broad parameters established in the MOUs

For more information on this program, contact Ashley Ryckman at (415) 645-1933 or [email protected].

National School Lunch Program: As part of the Child Nutrition Program, the National School Lunch Program provides cash

reimbursements and commodity foods to help support non-profit food services in elementary and secondary schools, and in residential

child care institutions. Every school day, approximately 17,000 children in Guam, and about 30 million children in over 101,000 schools

across the country, eat a lunch provided through the National School Lunch Program. More than half of these children receive the meal

free or at a reduced price. The National School Lunch Program also offers the After School Snacks Program and the Fresh Fruit and

Vegetable Program.

For more information on this program, contact Kathryn Lee at (415) 645-1918 or [email protected].

School Breakfast Program: As part of the Child Nutrition Program, low-income children may qualify to receive school breakfast free

or at a reduced price and states are reimbursed according to the number of meals served in each category. Meals must meet

nutritional standards similar to those in the National School Lunch Program. In Guam, approximately 7,000 children participate in this

program each day.

For more information on this program, contact Kathryn Lee at (415) 645-1918 or [email protected].

Special Food Assistance (SFA) Program: The SFA Program for the Republic of the Marshall Islands was originally authorized under

Public Law 99-239 and the Compact of Free Association of 1985. Under a Memorandum of Understanding, FNS provides a cash block

grant for the needy people of Bikini, Enewetak, Rongelap, and Utrix Atolls (the Nuclear Affected Areas

For more information on this program, contact Melissa Baker at (415) 228-3133 or [email protected].

Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children (WIC): WIC’s program goal is to improve the health

of low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and infants and children up to 5 years old. WIC

provides supplemental foods, nutrition education, and access to health services. Participants receive vouchers that can be redeemed at

retail food stores for specific foods that are rich sources of the nutrients frequently lacking in the diet of low-income mothers and

children.

For more information on this program, contact Mike Drew at (415) 705-1318 or [email protected].

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is the cornerstone of the

USDA nutrition assistance programs. Initiated as a pilot program in 1961 and made permanent in 1964, the program issues monthly

coupons that are redeemable at retail food stores, or provides benefits through electronic benefit transfer (EBT).

FY2013 Page2



Eligibility and allotments are based on household size, income, assets, and other factors. The Food Stamp Program in Puerto Rico was

replaced in

1982 by a block grant program. American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific provide benefits under block grants.

These territories (Guam is considered a state under SNAP) provide coupons to participants rather than food stamps or food distribution.

For more information on this program, contact Dennis Stewart at (415) 705-2333 or [email protected].

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP): TEFAP provides commodity foods to State Agencies for distribution to

households, soup kitchens and food banks. First initiated in 1981, TEFAP was initially designed to reduce inventories and storage costs

of surplus commodities through distribution to needy households. TEFAP for CNMI is included in the cash block grant under the Child

Nutrition MOU.

ADMINISTRATION FOR COMMUNITY LIVING

MISSION: The mission of the Administration for Community Living is to maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older

adults, people with disabilities across the lifespan, and their families and caregivers. ACL brings together the efforts and achievements

of the Administration on Aging, the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the HHS Office on Disability to

serve as the Federal agency responsible for increasing access to community supports, while focusing attention and resources on the

unique needs of older Americans and people with disabilities. Website: www.hhs.gov/acl

Older Americans Act (OAA): On April 16, 2012, U.S. Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the formation

of the department’s newest division – the Administration for Community Living (ACL). This new operating division is the next step,

following establishment of President Obama’s Community Living Initiative, to ensure the fullest inclusion of all people in the life of our

nation. This new entity will enhance and strengthen HHS efforts, to support seniors and people with disabilities, regardless of age. As

a result of this change, ACL brought together the Administration on Aging (AoA), the Office on Disability, and the Administration on

Developmental Disabilities into a single agency that supports both cross-cutting initiatives and efforts focused on the unique needs of

individual groups, such as children with developmental disabilities or seniors with dementia. This new agency will work on increasing

access to community supports and achieving full community participation for people with disabilities and seniors.

AoA, established by the passage of the OAA in 1965, has been charged to administer grant programs and to serve as the Federal focal

point on matters concerning older persons. It also provides funding to the Pacific territories to support the development and

administration of comprehensive, coordinated programs that serve elderly persons and their caregivers.

Congregate nutrition, home delivered meals, nutrition education, and in American Samoa, food vouchers, are provided under Title III-C

of the OAA. American Samoa is making plans to transition from the food voucher program to a congregate and home delivered meals

program.

Supportive services funded with Title III-B and Title VII OAA funds include: transportation, information and assistance, legal, health

promotion, socialization, in home services, pension counseling, adult day care, ombudsman, and elder abuse prevention.

The National Family Caregiver Support Program under Title III-E provides assistance to families and caregivers of elderly persons.

Services include information, assistance, caregiver training, counseling and support, respite care, and supplemental services.

HEALTH RESOURCES & SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

MISSION: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services, is the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated or medically

vulnerable. Website: www.hrsa.gov

Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program-University of Guam School of Nursing: The Guam/Micronesia (G/M) AHEC

Program was established in 2009 and supports three AHECs: 1) Guåhan (Guam) AHEC, serving the island territory of Guam (GU); 2)

Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI)/College of Marshall Islands AHEC, serving the RMI; and 3) Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)

AHEC, serving three of the four states within FSM. The Yap AHEC, which is affiliated with the University of Hawaii, Pacific-Basin AHEC,

serves the fourth state of FSM. The G/M AHEC Program emphasizes community-based, in-country (local), and inter-island training for

health professions students and health care providers while enhancing the health career education and recruitment pipeline from high

school to community college levels. The G/M AHEC Program has played a significant role in improving the public health capacity and

infrastructure in the region, including the development of an innovative public health training pipeline program. This program provides

a career ladder from a Certificate of Achievement to a Master of Public Health degree. The G/M AHEC Program has also established

strong collaborations with the CDC and the Pacific Islands Health Officers Association (PIHOA) to support training in public health

capacity building.

In September 2012, the G/M AHEC Program received a one-time supplemental funding from the Department of Interior to build on

existing systems and support strategic nursing workforce and infrastructure development activities that focus on strengthening nurse

training programs and the nursing leadership pipeline in the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI). There are no additional funds

provided for this project in FY2013, however activities will continue with carryover funds for the current fiscal year. These activities are

carried out in each of the USAPI jurisdictions.

For more information on this program, contact Meseret Bezuneh at (301) 594-4149 or [email protected].

Koror; Huli Au Ola AHEC located in Kaunakakai; the CNMI AHEC located in Saipan; Yap AHEC located in Kolonia, FSM; Waimanalo AHEC

located in Waimanalo; America Samoa (AS) AHEC located in Pago, Pago; and Waianae AHEC, located in Waianae. The Pacific Basin

AHEC Program focuses its programmatic activities to improve the diversity, distribution, supply, and quality of the health professions

workforce in the Pacific in five specific areas: 1) recruiting underrepresented minority students to health science careers; 2) training

students in rural and underserved areas, often in interdisciplinary teams; 3) recruiting providers to rural areas and providing activities

to improve retention; 4) providing and facilitating community-based health education; and 5) providing distance learning options across

the region for health information and education. Partners in this effort include schools, healthcare and government organizations,

workforce investment agencies, rural health associations, and community-based organizations in the region.

For more information on this program, contact Meseret Bezuneh at (301) 594-4149 or [email protected].

California Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) Program: CALPACT addresses the urgent and growing regional need for a

well-trained and expanded public health workforce, responsive to the health needs of almost 9.5 million people in Northern California,

Central California, Hawaii, and the USAPI. CALPACT defines a collaborative partnership among the following accredited institutions:

the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley; the Office of Public Health Studies at the University of Hawaii,

Manoa; the Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of California, Davis; and the Central Valley Health Policy Institute at

California State University, Fresno. The offerings focus on three themes that align with the core strengths of the partner schools and

address the priority needs of public health professionals, organizations, and communities in their region. These themes are to

strengthen leadership and management competency and performance, expand the effective use of emerging new media and

communication tools, and develop organizational capacity to more effectively address health issues of diverse and underserved

populations.

For more information on this program, contact Marian Ladipo at (301) 443-7756 or [email protected].

Community Health Center Program: The term “health center” refers to all the diverse public and non-profit organizations and

programs that receive federal funding under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Health

Centers Consolidated Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-299), the Safety Net Amendments of 2002, the Health Care Safety Net Act of 2008, Public

Law 111-148, the Affordable Care Act of 2010, Title V, Section 5601 and Title X, Section 10503, and Public Law 111-152, Health Care

and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Section 2303. Health centers are community-based and patient-directed organizations that

serve people with limited access to health care. These include low-income patients, the uninsured, those with limited English

proficiency, agricultural workers, individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and those living in public housing. HRSA-

supported health centers advance the preventive and primary medical/healthcare home model of coordinated, comprehensive, and

patient-centered care, coordinating a wide range of medical, dental, behavioral, and social services. Services include pharmacy, mental

health, substance abuse, and oral health treatment, as well as supportive services (education, translation, transportation, and case

management) that promote access to health care and ensure patient well-being. Health centers are required to be located in or serve

a high-need community (a “medically underserved” area or population) and to make their services available to all patients on a sliding

scale, with fees based on ability to pay. By law, community health centers must be governed by community boards with majority

patient representation. Website: http://bphc.hrsa.gov/.

Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program: AS, GU, CNMI, FSM, RMI, and ROP are funded to improve the

quality of health care for children by assuring health professionals are trained and equipped to medically manage and treat pediatric

patients while en route to a medical facility; and form collaboratives to assure the expeditious transport and transfer of children to a

definitive care facility when medically necessary. In 2013, AS, GU, and CNMI reassessed the availability of pediatric medical control

24/7 and pediatric equipment on ambulances. AS, GU, and CNMI are continuing efforts to assure that pediatric recognition systems for

medical emergencies and trauma are in place; pediatric continuing education is required prior to recertification of prehospital providers;

and the EMSC Program establishes permanence. This program year, FSM, RMI, and ROP received first year planning grants and

immediately joined the other USAPI jurisdictions to assess the availability of inter-facility transfer agreements and guidelines, and have

formed Advisory groups to begin the development of strategic plans. Some project activities related to the objectives mentioned

include building National Emergency Medical Services Information System compliant data systems; organizing/evaluating pre-hospital

and hospital personnel training programs; sponsoring pediatric-focused training to improve emergency medical services (EMS)

personnel pediatric competencies; partnering to support injury prevention and disaster preparedness programs; and managing a

Special Needs Alert Program, to assure Children with Special Health Care Needs are known to local EMS providers and providers are

trained to treat and transport medically fragile children should the need arise. Frequent and regular collaboration and information

sharing of resources between the Pacific Basin jurisdictions, is central to improving the quality of emergency care and the transport and

transfer of pediatric patients to specialty health care facilities. Pacific grantees have organized as the Pacific Islands EMSC Region

(PIER) and are recognized by the federal EMSC program as one of nine EMSC Program regions.

Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 is federal legislation that

addresses the unmet health needs of persons living with HIV disease (PLWH) by funding core medical and support services that

enhance access to and retention in care. First enacted by Congress in 1990, the legislation was amended and reauthorized in 1996,

2000, 2006, and again in 2009. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program reaches over 529,000 individuals each year, making it the federal

government's largest program specifically for care and treatment services for PLWH. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program consists of

four major funded programs, referred to as Parts (formerly referred to as Titles). Currently, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program

provides Part B funding to each of the USAPI jurisdictions. Guam has been a Part B (Title II) Grantee since 1991 and is considered a

minimum award state.

State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI): The SSDI was launched in 1993 to facilitate the development of state level

infrastructure, which would support the development of systems of care at the community level. The SSDI Program is designed to

complement the Title V Maternal and Child (MCH) Health Block Grant Program and to combine the efforts of state MCH and Children

with Special Health Care Needs Agencies. SSDI projects must concentrate on the Title V Block Grant ongoing needs assessment,

performance/outcome measures, and Health Status Indicators. These projects focus grant resources on the Title V Block Grant Health

System Capacity Indicator #9 (A) regarding Data Capacity. States will be expected to focus SSDI resources on establishing or

improving the data linkages between birth records and: 1) infant death certificates; 2) Medicaid eligibility or paid claims files; 3) WIC

eligibility files; and 4) newborn screening files. States should give first priority to the four data linkages and then focus on establishing

or improving access to: 1) hospital discharge surveys; 2) a birth defects surveillance system; 3) survey of recent mothers at least

every 2 years (like PRAMS); and 4) survey of adolescent health and behaviors at least every two years (like Youth Risk Behavior

Surveillance System). While states are expected to direct SSDI resources to addressing the Health System Capacity Indicator #9(A)

with first priority on data linkages, they may continue to address ongoing needs assessment and improve the data for the

performance/outcome measures. Any activity regarding needs assessment or performance/outcome measures should focus on

deficiencies and specifics for improvement since SSDI project accountability will focus on Health System Capacity Indicator #9(A).

For more information on this program, contact Scott Snyder at (301) 443-0345 or [email protected].

Title V Maternal & Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant Program: The Title V MCH Services Block Grant Program has

services; reduce infant mortality and the incidence of preventable diseases and handicapping conditions among children; reduce the

need for inpatient and long-term care services; increase the number of children (especially preschool children) appropriately immunized

against disease; increase the number of low income children receiving health assessments and follow-up diagnostic and treatment

services; promote the health of mothers and infants by providing prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care for low income, at-risk

pregnant women; promote the health of children by providing preventive and primary care services for low income children; provide

rehabilitation services for blind and disabled individuals under the age of 16 receiving benefits under Title XVI, to the extent medical

assistance for such services is not provided under Title XIX; and to provide and promote family-centered, community-based systems of

services for such children and their families.

Center for the Application of Prevention Technology (CAPT): SAMHSA’s CAPT provided the following TA and training to the

Pacific Jurisdictions from November 1, 2012–October 31, 2013:

• Delivered trainings to American Samoa on the fundamentals of epidemiology and strategies for using epidemiological data to

mobilize communities, and for identifying data gaps and on the intersection of substance abuse prevention and HIV/AIDS.

• Delivered trainings to the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) on: prioritizing risk and protective factors related to underage

drinking, and on selecting evidence-based interventions to address prioritized factors; on cultural competency, sustainability,

SPF SIG Steps 4 and 5 (implementation and evaluation), and on the Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist Training (SAPST)

Adapted for Pacific Islander Populations.

• Provided training for Palau on the importance of using data when implementing the SPF and culturally appropriate ways to use

data to mobilize community members around prevention issues, and delivered the online course Ethics in Prevention to Palau

SPF SIG staff and prevention practitioners.

• Provided TA to staff in American Samoa, FSM, and RMI in managing their prevention work, including revitalizing their work on

epidemiology and planning for delivery of a SAPST to their prevention workforce

FY2013 Page33



For most of the trainings, CAPT staff members co-delivered the service with jurisdiction staff. This approach helped to build the

capacity of jurisdiction- and community-level prevention practitioners to provide these services independently.

For more information on this program, contact Patricia Getty at (240) 276-2540 or [email protected].

Drug Free Communities (DFC): The DFC is a collaborative initiative, sponsored by Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP),

in partnership with SAMHSA, which works to establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit

agencies, and Federal, State, local, and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and

reduce substance use among youth. For the purposes of this RFA, “youth” is defined as individuals 18 years of age and younger. In FY

2013, Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia, received funding through this program, and Palau has continuation funds.

For more information on this program, contact Charles Reynolds at (240) 276-2607 or [email protected].

Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants (SPF SIG): The SPF SIG program provides funding to the Pacific

Jurisdictions to implement SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). Its purpose is to prevent the onset and reduce the

progression of substance abuse, reduce substance abuse-related programs in communities, and build prevention capacity and

infrastructure at the Jurisdiction and community levels. In FY2013, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the

Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) continued to receive funding for the SPF SIG.

For more information on this program, contact Richard Moore at (240) 276-2572 or [email protected].

Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership for Success (SPF PFS): The SPF-PFS is designed to address two of the nation's

top substance abuse prevention priorities: 1) underage drinking among persons aged 12 to 20; and 2) prescription drug misuse and

abuse among persons aged 12 to 25. These awards provide an opportunity for recipients of the Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG)

(referred to herein as "states") that have completed a Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) and are not

currently receiving funding through SAMHSA's Partnerships for Success (PFS) grants (including the SPF-PFS II grant) to acquire

additional resources to implement the SPF process at the state and community levels. Equally important, the SPF-PFS program

promotes the alignment and leveraging of prevention resources and priorities at the federal, state, and community levels. In FY2013,

American Samoa, Guam, and Palau received funding for the SPF-PFS.

For more information on this program, contact Richard Moore at (240) 276-2572 or [email protected].

CENTER FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT (CSAT): Supports the provision of effective substance abuse treatment and

recovery services.

Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC): The purpose of this program is to develop and strengthen the workforce that

provides addiction treatment and recovery support services to those in need. In partnership with Single State Authorities, treatment

provider associations, addictions counselors, multidisciplinary behavioral health professionals, faith and recovery community leaders,

family members of those in recovery, and other stakeholders, the ATTCs assess the training and development needs of the substance

use disorders workforce, and develop and conduct training and technology transfer activities to meet identified needs. The ATTC

providing services to the Pacific region in FY 2013 is the Pacific Southwest ATTC (PSATTC), located at UCLA. In FY2013, in

collaboration with the Pacific Behavioral Health Collaborating Council and the Pacific Jurisdictions Workforce Development Initiative

(PJWDI), the PSATTC will provide training to all six Jurisdictions on a variety of substance abuse treatment topics, including behavioral

health workforce issues, clinical supervision, and motivational interviewing.

For more information on this program, contact Andrea Kopstein at (240) 276-1681 or [email protected].

Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment Program (SBIRT): The purpose of this program is to implement

screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment services for adults in primary care and community health settings, for substance

misuse and substance use disorders (SUD). American Samoa continued to receive funding in FY 2013 awarded in FY2011 for five years

to establish SBIRT in 13 primary care, public and community based health settings throughout American Samoa. In FY 2013, the

project will target the 35,000 adults on the main islands of Tutuila (where Pago Pago is located) and Manu'a who may be at risk for

behavioral health issues. An Integrated Primary Care and Behavioral Health model will implemented: 1) Screening using a culturally

adapted Wellness Questionnaire based on the AUDIT, DAST and PHQ-2 depression screen; 2) Brief Intervention utilizing Motivational

Interviewing (MI); 3) Brief Treatment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBTs); 4) Referral to Treatment including residential and

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP); and 5) Telemedicine services from Honolulu providers to assist with clients needing more acute

psychiatric assistance. At least 100 primary care professionals will receive SBIRT orientation/training.

For more information on this program, contact Reed Forman at (240) 276-2416 or [email protected].

CSAP and CSAT-Substance Abuse Prevention & Treatment Block Grant (SAPTBG): In FY 2013, the SAPT block grant provided

approximately $1.710B to States and territories, including $2.586M to the Pacific Jurisdictions to support community and faith-based

organizations which provide prevention, early intervention, treatment, and recovery support services to individuals, families, and

communities impacted by substance abuse and substance use disorders. It is an integral component of demand reduction in the

National Drug Control Strategy Website:http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/national-drug-control-strategy. The program is authorized

by Title XIX, Part B, Subpart II and Subpart III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 300x-21-66).

SAMHSA-WIDE

SAMHSA’s Pacific Jurisdictions Workforce Development Initiative (PJWDI): In its third year, what was SAMHSA’s Pacific

Master Trainer Development Program (MTDP) broadened to become the Pacific Jurisdictions Workforce Development Initiative

(PJWDI). Under the second year of management by the Pacific Behavioral Health Collaborating Council (PBHCC), the Initiative has not

only provided significant training and workforce related outcomes, it has also significantly increased the ability of the PBHCC to develop

and manage a range of projects across the Pacific, not just for individual Jurisdictions. What developed is now a Pacific-wide service

and administrative capability that can be brought to bear in a number of pressing areas from infrastructure development to Block Grant

applications and management. The outcomes achieved represent significant development and success for modest investment in an

entire region.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

MISSION: The U.S. Department of the Interior protects America’s natural resources and heritage, honors our

cultures and tribal communities, and supplies the energy to power our future. Website: www.doi.gov

OFFICE OF INSULAR AFFAIRS

MISSION: The Secretary of the Interior has administrative responsibility for coordinating federal policy in the territories of American

Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the responsibility to

administer and oversee U.S. federal assistance provided to the Freely Associated States of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM),

the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau (ROP) under the Compacts of Free Association. The Office of

Insular Affairs (OIA) executes these responsibilities on behalf of the Secretary.

Website: www.doi.gov/oia/

American Samoa Operations Program: Each year the Office of Insular Affairs provides grant funds to American Samoa for the

operation of the local government, including the judiciary. The American Samoa Government (ASG) does not have sufficient local

revenues to fund the entire operating costs of its government. The purpose of this program activity is to fund the difference between

budget needs and local revenues. The Department defines “budget needs” as the cost of maintaining current programs and

services. Unless mutually agreed upon by the ASG and the Department, new programs are funded from local revenues.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Brown Treesnake Control Program: This fund is used to control ecological and economic damage caused by the brown tree snake

on Guam and prevent dispersal of the snake to other areas.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Compact Impact Discretionary: The Amended Compacts of Free Association, PL 108-188, with the Marshall Islands and Micronesia,

under Section 104 (e) of Title One, authorizes financial assistance to affected jurisdictions such as Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and

the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The goal of this assistance is to provide through 2023, $30 million in annual

grants to affected jurisdictions to aid in defraying costs incurred as a result of increased demands placed on health, educational, social,

or public safety services, or to infrastructure related to such services, due to the residence in affected jurisdictions of qualified non-

immigrants from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau. Discretionary

Compact Impact funds supplement the permanent appropriations made under PL 108-188; however, discretionary Compact Impact can

only be used in support of education activities.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Compact Impact Program: The Amended Compacts of Free Association, PL 108-188, with the Marshall Islands and Micronesia,

under Section 104 (e) of Title One, authorizes financial assistance to affected jurisdictions such as Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and

the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The goal of this assistance is to provide through 2023, $30 million in annual

grants to affected jurisdictions to aid in defraying costs incurred as a result of increased demands placed on health, educational, social,

or public safety services, or to infrastructure related to such services, due to the residence in affected jurisdictions of qualified non-

immigrants from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Compact of Free Association with Palau: Article I of Title Two of the Compact of Free Association describes the financial

assistance committed to the Republic of Palau by the United States. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the

financial assistance established in Article I is the most significant part of the economic relationship with Palau. Compact funding was

appropriated on a permanent and indefinite basis in 1986 (Public Law 99-349). However, because of delays in the ratification process

by the Republic of Palau, its Compact was not implemented until 1995, eight years after implementation for the other two freely

associated states. The Department of the Interior is responsible for oversight and coordination of U.S. funding assistance under the

Compact of Free Association. Financial assistance provisions under the Palau Compact were set to expire on September 30, 2009 but

have been extended by Congress through subsequent annual appropriations.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Compact of Free Association - Current: The Compacts of Free Association guarantee that the freely associated states (FAS) will

continue to receive certain Federal services in accordance with negotiated agreements, as is the case for the Federated States of

Micronesia (FSM) and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). These services include those of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Compacts of Free Association with the FSM and RMI: In 2003, the U.S. signed with the FSM and with the RMI a second

Compact or what is called the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-188) that is in effect for the next

20 years until 2023. Although the basic relationships as enshrined in the first Compact were unchanged, there were significant

FY2013 Page41



changes in the financial provisions of the amended Compact. The Amended Compact included creation of a Trust Fund to serve as an

ongoing source of revenue after Fiscal Year 2023 and to contribute to the long-term budgetary self-reliance of the FSM and RMI. It

also provided for sector specific grant assistance in six primary sectors: Education; Health Care; Public Infrastructure; Environment;

Public Sector Capacity Building; Environment; and Private Sector Development. The Department of the Interior continues to be

responsible for oversight and coordination of U.S. funding assistance under the Amended Compact of Free Association.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Coral Reef Initiative: The goal of the Coral Reef Initiative program is to improve the health of coral reefs in the U.S. insular areas

for their long-term economic and social benefit through enhanced local management and protection.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Covenant Capital Improvement Project (CIP): The U.S. territories for which OIA has responsibilities may request capital

improvement grants through the annual budget process. A unique feature of these grants is that they may be used to meet the local

matching requirement for capital improvement grants of other Federal agencies, subject to OIA’s approval.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Enewetak Support Program: In 1980, The Enewetak Support program was implemented to provide supplemental foods for the

community, replant vegetation of the inhabited islands, provide agricultural maintenance training and transport food to the island. The

Enewetak community developed a plan with the assistance of the University of the South Pacific to provide greater amounts of locally

produced food and to better integrate necessary imported food into the local diets.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202) 208-6971 or jonathan_dunn@ios.doi.gov.

Empowering Insular Communities: This fund is used to pursue sustainable energy strategies that will lessen the dependence of

the insular areas on oil imports.

For more information on this program, contact Jonathan Dunn at (202)

Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title 1B: On August 7, 1998, President Clinton signed the Workforce Investment Act of 1998

(WIA), comprehensive reform legislation into law that supersedes the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and amends the

Wagner - Peyser Act. WIA also contains the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (Title II) and the Rehabilitation Act Amendments

of 1998 (Title IV). WIA creates a new, comprehensive workforce investment system, which is intended to be customer-focused, to help

Americans access the tools needed to manage their careers through information and high quality services and to help U.S. companies

find skilled workers. The America’s Job Center system, formerly called One Stop Career system, is the infrastructure that empowers

individuals to receive the professional advice, guidance, and support to become gainfully employed. The ultimate goal of the Act is to

increase employment, retention, and earnings of participants, and in doing so, improve the quality of the workforce to sustain

employment and/or post-secondary education through strong linkages between academic and occupational learning. Local communities

provide youth activities and services in partnership with the WIA Workforce System and under the direction of local Workforce

Investment Boards.

Workforce Investment Act - National Emergency Grants (NEG): Discretionary grants awarded by the Secretary of Labor are to

provide employment-related services for dislocated workers as authorized under WIA Section 173 and 20 CFR Part 671. The purpose of

the regular National Emergency grant program is to respond to significant dislocation events that arise as a result of economic

globalization and business fluctuations. Recipients of Workforce Investment Act Dislocated Worker funds are eligible to apply if they

have expended 70 percent or more of their WIA Dislocated worker funds from the previous year’s allocation, and a layoff has occurred

affecting fifty or more workers. Applications may be submitted at any time and awards are made at the discretion of the Secretary of

Labor. There is also a Disaster category of National Emergency Grants, which can be available after unexpected disaster events (e.g.,

tsunamis, earthquakes, super typhoons and tornados). Eligibility includes the dislocated worker fund expenditure requirement as above

plus that the political entity must have received a disaster declaration from FEMA. The additional requirement of eligibility for FEMA

may prevent some Outer Pacific Jurisdictions from eligibility for the disaster NEG category even though they can be eligible for the

regular NEG category. Disaster National Emergency grants are awarded in phases, the first of which includes disaster clean up related

work with preference to providing paid employment those who have been displaced or affected by the disaster to work in the clean-up

and repair activities. The second phase is referred to as “Workforce Development,” meaning that the resources of the workforce system

are applied to needs assessment and skill development with a goal toward placement of participants in permanent jobs.

VETERANS’ EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING SERVICE

MISSION: The mission of Veterans’ Employment & Training Service (VETS) serves America's veterans and separating service

members by preparing them for meaningful careers, providing employment resources and expertise, and protecting their employment

rights. Website: www.dol/gov/vets

Jobs for Veterans State Grants Program - Employment Services for Veterans: The U.S. Department of Labor, Veterans'

Employment and Training Service (VETS) offers employment and training services to eligible veterans through a non-competitive Jobs

for Veterans State Grants Program. Under this grant program, funds are allocated to State Workforce Agencies in direct proportion to

the number of veterans seeking employment within their state. The grants support two staff positions (Disabled Veterans Outreach

Program Specialists & Local Veterans Employment Representatives) in state workforce agencies.

Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program (DVOP) Specialists: Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists provide

intensive services to meet the employment needs of disabled veterans and other eligible veterans, with the maximum emphasis

directed toward serving those who are economically or educationally disadvantaged, including homeless veterans, and veterans with

barriers to employment. This grant provides funds to exclusively serve veterans, other eligible persons, transitioning service members,

their spouses and, indirectly, employers. The grant also gives the State the flexibility to determine the most effective and efficient

distribution of their staff resources based upon the distinct roles and responsibilities of the two positions.

Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER): Local Veterans' Employment Representatives conduct outreach to

employers and engage in advocacy efforts with hiring executives to increase employment opportunities for veterans, encourage the

hiring of disabled veterans, and generally assist veterans to gain and retain employment. LVER staff conduct seminars for employers

and job search workshops for veterans seeking employment, and facilitate priority of service in regard to employment, training, and

placement services furnished to veterans by all staff of the employment service delivery system.

This grant provides funds to exclusively serve veterans, other eligible persons, transitioning service members, their spouses and,

indirectly, employers. The grant also gives the State the flexibility to determine the most effective and efficient distribution of their staff

resources based upon the distinct roles and responsibilities of the two positions.



DVOP and LVER staff provide services to all veterans that Title 38 indicates are eligible for their services, but their efforts are

concentrated, according to their respective roles and responsibilities, on outreach and the provision and facilitation of direct client

services to those who have been identified as most in need of intensive employment and training assistance. DVOP and LVER staff,

through outreach with employers, develop increased hiring opportunities within the local work force by raising the awareness of

employers of the availability and the benefit of hiring veterans.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

MISSION: The mission of the Department of Transportation is to serve the United States by ensuring a fast, safe

efficient, accessible and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances

the quality of life of the American people, today and into the future. Website: www.dot.gov

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION

MISSION: The mission of the Federal Transit Administration is to enhance citizens' mobility, accessibility, and economic well-being

through the development and management of public transport services that are comprehensive, affordable, efficient, reliable, safe, and

environmentally sound. We build sustainable partnerships through community planning support, technical assistance, grant provision,

and project monitoring. In accordance with federal regulations and policies, we seek to achieve maximum productivity, exemplary

professionalism, and exceptionally-responsive customer service.

Website: www.fta.dot.gov

Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP): The Rural Transit Assistance Program establishes a rural transportation assistance

program in non-urbanized areas implemented by grants and contracts for transportation research, technical assistance, training, and

related support services in non-urbanized areas. The goals of RTAP are to provide training and technical assistance for rural public

transportation operators, improve professionalism and safety of rural public transit services, promote efficiency and effectiveness of rural

transit services and support coordination with human service transportation.

For more information on this program, contact Ted Matley at (415) 744-2590 or [email protected].

Section 5307: Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program: The Urbanized Area Formula Funding program (49 U.S.C. 5307)

makes Federal resources available to urbanized areas and to Governors for transit capital and operating assistance in urbanized areas

and for transportation related planning. An urbanized area is an incorporated area with a population of 50,000 or more that is

designated as such by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The Job Access and Reverse Commute Program,

Section 5316, is now part of this Section 5307 grant program, and no longer exists as a stand-alone grant program.

For more information on this program, contact Ted Matley at (415) 744-2590 or [email protected].

Section 5310: Transportation for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Program: Section 5310 makes funds

available to meet the special transportation needs of elderly persons and persons with disabilities. These funds are apportioned to the

states and territories annually by a formula that is based on the number of elderly persons and persons with disabilities in each state.

The program is administered through the states/territories and it is at that level that funding decisions are made. Funds for this

program are consolidated with the Section 5311 grant. The former New Freedom program (5317) is folded into this program. The New

Freedom program provided grants for services for individuals with disabilities that went above and beyond the requirements of the

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Projects selected for funding must be included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan;

and the competitive selection process, which was required under the former New Freedom program, is now optional. At least 55

percent of program funds must be spent on the types of capital projects eligible under the former section 5310 -- public transportation

projects planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public

transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. The remaining 45 percent may be used for: public transportation projects

that exceed the requirements of the ADA; public transportation projects that improve access to fixed-route service and decrease

reliance by individuals with disabilities on complementary paratransit; or, alternatives to public transportation that assist seniors and

individuals with disabilities. Using these funds for operating expenses requires a 50 percent local match while using these funds for

capital expenses (including acquisition of public transportation services) requires a 20 percent local match.

For more information on this program, contact Ted Matley at (415) 744-2590 or [email protected].

Section 5311: Rural and Small Urban Areas Program: The Section 5311 program provides funding for public transportation in

non-urbanized areas. FTA apportions funds for non-urbanized areas to the states according to a statutory formula based on each state's

population in rural and small urban areas. The funds are available to the state for obligation for the year of apportionment plus two

additional years. The states administer the program in accordance with State Management Plans. Eligible recipients include public bodies

and private non-profit organizations. Participation by private for-profit enterprises under contract to an eligible recipient is encouraged.

Funds for this program are consolidated with the Section 5310 grant.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

MISSION: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to

aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and

strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to

building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and

evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build

and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA

delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam.

Pacific Island Small Business Development Center Network Program: The Pacific Island Small Business Development Center

Network (SBDC) program provides technical assistance to small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs throughout the United States

and its territories.

That after December 31, 1990, the Administration shall not make a grant to any applicant other than an institution of higher education

or a Women’s Business Center. Section 648 also states that the Administration shall require any applicant for a Small Business

Development Center grant with performance commencing on or after January 1, 1992 to have its own budget and to primarily utilize

institutions of higher education and Women’s Business Centers operating pursuant to section 656 of this title to provide services to the

small business community.” Any organization which currently has an SBDC Cooperative Agreement with SBA’s Office of Small Business

Development Centers remains eligible.

For more information on this program in Guam, contact Ken Lujan at (671) 472-7277 or Kenneth.lujan@sba.gov.

State Trade and Export Promotion Program: The State Trade and Export Promotion (STEP) program is a three year pilot program

and to raise the value of exports for those small businesses that are currently exporting.
