(a)  The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiatives shall be administered by the Division of Public Health, 1915 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1915, [phone].

(b)  The Division of Public Health shall take the following actions prior to the end of State Fiscal Year 2001-2002:  All currently funded Teen Pregnancy Prevention Projects shall be notified that they have been assigned to one of four groups, based upon the date that their Teen Pregnancy Prevention funding was initiated.  This grouping shall allow the Division to phase out, in an orderly manner, those projects funded under the former rules of operation.  These projects shall be grouped as follows:

(1)           Group one shall be informed that they have one year of funding remaining.  Projects in this group may file competitive applications for re-funding in the fall of 2002 for grants beginning on July 1, 2003.

(2)           Group two shall be informed that they have two years of funding remaining.  Projects in this group may file competitive applications for re-funding in the fall of 2003 for grants beginning on July 1, 2004.

(3)           Group three shall be informed that they have three years of funding remaining.  Projects in this group may file competitive applications for re-funding in the fall of 2004 for grants beginning on July 1, 2005.

(4)           Group four shall be informed that they have four years of funding remaining.  Projects in this group may file competitive applications for re-funding in the fall of 2005 for grants beginning on July 1, 2006.

(c)  Notwithstanding Paragraph (b) of this Rule, Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program Projects that were approved for funding prior to December 1, 2001 shall receive their annually decreasing funding amount until the end of the original five-year agreement.  These projects shall be placed in the groups described in Paragraph (b) of this Rule according to the years remaining on their original agreements.  Any existing project that decides to forgo its remaining years of APPP funding and to submit an application for stable funding under the revised program rules, may do so only after submission of a notice of voluntary program termination no later than six months prior to the start of the next fiscal year.
