Recipients are required to comply with the requirements set forth in the
government -wide financial assistance award term regarding the System for
Award Management and Universal Identifier Requirements located at 2 C.F.R.
Part 25, Appendix A, the full text of which is incorporated here by reference.
Article 36 USA PATRIOT Act of 2001
Recipients must comply with requirements of Section 817 of the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), Pub. L. No. 107-56,
which amends 18 U.S.C. §§ 175-175c.
Article 37 Use of DHS Seal, Logo and Flags
Recipients must obtain permission from their DHS FAO prior to using the DHS
seal(s), logos, crests or reproductions of flags or likenesses of DHS agency
officials, including use of the United States Coast Guard seal, logo, crests or

Article 38 Whistleblower Protection Act

protections (if applicable) at 10 U.S.0 § 2409, 41 U.S.C. § 4712, and 10 U.S.C.
§ 2324, 41 U.S.C. §§ 4304 and 4310.
Article 39 Acceptance of Post Award Changes
In the event FEMA determines that changes are necessary to the award
document after an award has been made, including changes to period of
performance or terms and conditions, recipients will be notified of the changes
in writing. Once notification has been made, any subsequent request for funds
will indicate recipient acceptance of the changes to the award. Please call the
FEMA/GMD Call Center at (866) 927-5646 or via e-mail to ASK-
GMD@fema.dhs.gov if you have any questions.
Article 40 Prior Approval for Modification of Approved Budget
Before making any change to the FEMA approved budget for this award, you
must request prior written approval from FEMA where required by 2 C.F.R. §
200.308. FEMA is also utilizing its discretion to impose an additional restriction
under 2 C.F.R. § 200.308(f) regarding the transfer of funds among direct cost
categories, programs, functions, or activities. Therefore, for awards with an
approved budget where the federal share is greater than the simplified
acquisition threshold (currently $250,000), you may not transfer funds among
direct cost categories, programs, functions, or activities without prior written
approval from FEMA where the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or
is expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of the total budget FEMA last
approved. You must report any deviations from your FEMA approved budget in
the first Federal Financial Report (SF-425) you submit following any budget
deviation, regardless of whether the budget deviation requires prior written
approval.
Article 41 Disposition of Equipment Acquired Under the Federal Award
When original or replacement equipment acquired under this award by the
recipient or its subrecipients is no longer needed for the original project or
program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a federal
awarding agency, you must request instructions from FEMA to make proper
disposition of the equipment pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.313.
Article 42 Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review
DHS/FEMA funded activities that may require an EHP review are subject to the
FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) review process.
This review does not address all federal, state, and local requirements.
Acceptance of federal funding requires recipient to comply with all federal,
state, and local laws. DHS/FEMA is required to consider the potential impacts
to natural and cultural resources of all projects funded by DHS/FEMA grant
funds, through its EHP Review process, as mandated by the National
Environmental Policy Act; National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended; National Flood Insurance Program regulations; and, any other
applicable laws and Executive Orders. To access the FEMA EHP screening
form and instructions, go to the DHS/FEMA website at:
https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/90195. In order to
initiate EHP review of your project(s), you must complete all relevant sections of
this form and submit it to the Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) along with all
other pertinent project information. The EHP review process must be completed
before funds are released to carry out the proposed project; otherwise,
DHS/FEMA may not be able to fund the project due to noncompliance with EHP
laws, executive order, regulations, and policies. If ground disturbing activities
occur during construction, applicant will monitor ground disturbance, and if any
potential archeological resources are discovered, applicant will immediately
cease work in that area and notify the pass -through entity, if applicable, and
DHS/FEMA.
Article 43 Award Performance Goals
FEMA will measure the recipient's performance of the grant by comparing the
number of items requested in its application, the numbers acquired (ordered,
paid, and received) within the period of performance. In order to measure
performance, FEMA may request information throughout the period of
performance. In its final performance report submitted at closeout, the recipient
is required to report on the recipients compliance with the applicable industry,
local, state and national standards described in the NOFO.
