3.3: Administrative Requirements

Review administrative requirements for grantees.

Other Information:

􀂄 Examine and, where appropriate, amend regulations. Every year, the LSC board will review the need for regulatory changes. Recommendations for appropriate amendments for FY 2006 have already been identified. 􀂄 Examine and, if appropriate, simplify and streamline data collection from grantees. LSC will review the data that it collects from grantees and will review data which grantees must submit to state and federal agencies. Where it is possible, LSC will revise its data collection needs to conform to data already being produced and collected for another purpose. Where appropriate, LSC will seek to get other funders to accept an LSC format. LSC will work with IOLTA representatives to determine to what extent common applications for funding can be developed so as to reduce the administrative burden on grantees of preparing different applications. 􀂄 Explore the development of nationwide contracts for service, e.g., technology, health care. LSC has been successful with one vendor in establishing a nationwide contract for services that lowered the costs to grantees for those services. LSC will seek other areas in which the economies of a national market or national pricing policies will be of advantage to grantees and will pursue such contracts.
