  :description "The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is a directory of Federal
programs, projects, service and activities which provide assistance or
benefits to the American Public.  It contains financial and
nonfinancial assistance programs administered by departments and
establishments of the Federal government.

A 'Federal domestic assistance program' may in practice be called a
program, an activity, a service, a project or some other name,
regardless of whether it is identified as a separate program by
statute or regulation.  It will be identified in terms of its legal
authority, administering office, funding, purpose, benefits, and
beneficiaries.  'Assistance' or 'benefits' refers to the transfer of
money, property, services or anything of value, the principle purpose
of which is to accomplish a public purpose or supporter stimulation by
Federal statute.  Assistance includes, but it not limited to grants,
loans, loan guarantees, scholarships, mortgage loans, insurance, and
other types of financial assistance, including cooperative agreements;
property, technical assistance, counseling, statistical and other
expert information; and service activities of regulatory agencies.

Assistance on ASCII text may be purchased from GSA by calling (202)
