Step Two: Designate the Selection Committee
The U.S. Attorney will designate a selection committee to (1) choose
a single grantee to act as a fiscal agent for the strategy and (2)
determine what portions of the strategy will be funded and to whom.
In doing so, the U.S. Attorney may consult with the task force or
delegate this responsibility to a task force member, as appropriate.
This selection committee must not include the U.S. Attorney, a member
of his or her staff, or any federal employee, but can include any
or all of the other members of the task force, as long as their
participation does not represent an actual or apparent conflict
of interest. No member of the selection committee is eligible to
receive funding under the current grant program for which funding decisions are being made.
The Tool Box contains a summary of the Standards of Conduct and
Conflict of Interest Rules that apply to U.S. Attorneys and their
staff members. In designating the selection committee, the same
rules regarding conflicts of interest apply to members of the committee.
The selection committee should have a chairperson and can include
as many people as appropriate or as few as three.
