Hello everybody and welcome to the second in our fiscal year 2014 series of LIH EAP webinars this webinar is brought to you by the Office of Community Services in conjunction with our contractor the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, and today we're going to be talking about a new form that will be required of you as part of the LIH EAP model plan and it is called a standard form 424 the standard form 424 or SF 424 s I'm going to refer to it from now on in this webinar is a government-wide form that is being implemented by all programs in the administration for children and families it is basically akin to the plan cover sheet that you have been accustomed to completing every year it asks many of the same questions that the plan cover sheet used to ask except now it's going to be in ADC and it will be part of the LIHEAP model plan it will be the first section of the LIH EAP model plan when you start completing the LIH EAP model plan in Oh L DC for submission this September first, so it's going to be very similar to the cover sheet that you have done in the past general overview items about this form each field in the form will have an asterisk next to it or not have an asterisk if there is an asterisk next to the question in the form then that an answer is required to that question o LDC you will not let you submit the form and remember this form is part of your model plan, so you won't be able to submit the model plan without answering all the required questions in this form there's some new fields that are in the form that you have not seen in the past such as the organizational D UN s Duns number and congressional districts that are being served by you with LIH EAP funds another new thing that is going to be implemented as a result of this form is when you complete the form and complete all the other sections of the LIH EAP model plan and hit certify and submit in AU LDC that is going to be the new way that you sing the plan the sixteen LIHEAP assurances and they're required LIH EAP certifications and we'll go through how to do that and what that means in just a little so there are going to be questions in the form that are required and there are going to be questions in the form that will not have an asterisk, and it won't be required because this is a government-wide form not every field will apply to LIH EAP so where there is no asterisk you do not have to answer that question for example question for B the federal award identifier number you won't have that information, so you won't have to complete it it has no asterisk when you first log into the form the first thing you will see with data pre-populated will be your address make sure that you check that very carefully the address is populated based on information that oh L DC has about you as the grantee if the address is incorrect please update that information so that our records are accurate the form is going to ask like I mentioned for your organizational Duns number...
