9 3. Intergovernmental Review - Required under Executive Order 12372 Executive Order 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs, was issued with the desire to foster the intergovernmental partnership and strengthen federalism by relying on state and local processes for the coordination and review of proposed federal financial assistance and direct federal development. The Order allows each state to designate an entity to perform this function. Review the State Point of Contact (SPOC) List at Office of Federal Financial Management to determine if your state is participating. States that are not listed have chosen not to participate in the intergovernmental review process. If you are located within a state that has chosen not to participate, you may send application materials directly to a federal awarding agency.
