124n(d)(2)(A)(iii)) to exercise the authority granted under subsection (a)(2) of such section. For each fiscal year that the JAG program receives an appropriation, BJA issues two JAG notices of funding opportunity (NOFOs), one for States and one for eligible units of local government.
Only the designated state administering agencies (SAAs) for the 56 states, U.S. Territories, and District of Columbia are eligible to receive funding under the State JAG program. Only specified units of local government and tribes are eligible to receive funding under the Local JAG program; eligibility for units of local government and tribes may change year to year due to the annual formula.
The most recent fiscal year State and Local allocations are posted on the JAG Allocations page. See the JAG Archives page for allocations for previous years. Units of local government not eligible to receive JAG funding from BJA in a given fiscal year should visit their designated SAA’s website to see if JAG pass-through funding is available.

The Justice Department's timeline put September 2026 as the month it starts executing the Bureau of Justice Grants consolidation, folding OJP, COPS, and OVW into one component under a Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General. Phase 1 is a single NOFO template and a uniform review framework. The FY2027 request cuts BJG discretionary funding 30.3 percent to $3.057 billion while eliminating $939.4 million in earmarks.

The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint.
