Generally, applicants have to submit either the non-construction forms (i.e., SF-424A and SF-424B) or construction forms (i.e., SF-424C and SF-424D),meaning that applicants that only have construction work and do not have any non-construction work need only submit the construction forms (i.e., SF-424C and SF-424D) and not the non-construction forms (i.e., SF-424A and SF-424B), and vice versa. However, applicants who have both construction and non-construction work under this program need to submit both the construction and non- construction forms. b. Program-Specific Required Forms and Information The following program-specific forms or information are required to be submitted in ND Grants as file attachments: • Associated Investment Justifications (IJs) • Detailed budgets • Associated Memoranda of Understanding (MOU)/Memoranda of Agreement(MOA) I.
