TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(1) The Office of Management and Budget requires all Federal agencies to assign a Federal Award Identifying Number (FAIN) to each of their financial assistance awards. The PR/AWARD NUMBER identified in Block 2 is your FAIN.

If subawards are permitted under this grant, and you choose to make subawards, you must document the assigned PR/ AWARD NUMBER (FAIN) identified in Block 2 of this Grant Award Notification on each subaward made under this grant. The term subaward means:

1. A legal instrument to provide support for the performance of any portion of the substantive project or program for which you received this award and that you as the recipient award to an eligible subrecipient. (See 2 CFR 200.331(a))

2. The term does not include your procurement of property and services needed to carry out the project or program (The payments received for goods or services provided as a contractor are not Federal awards, see 2 CFR 200.501(f) of the OMB Uniform Guidance: "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards").

3. A subaward may be provided through any legal agreement, including an agreement that you or a subrecipient considers a contract. (See 2 CFR 200.1)

(2) THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE INCORPORATED IN THE GRANT AGREEMENT:

1) THE RECIPIENT'S APPLICATION (BLOCK 2);

2) THE APPLICABLE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, 2 CFR PART 180 AS ADOPTED IN 2

CFR 3485, AND 2 CFR PART 200 AS ADOPTED AT 2 CFR 3474 (BLOCK 8); AND

3) THE SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHOWN AS ATTACHMENTS (BLOCK 8).

IN ACCORDANCE WITH 2 CFR 200.308(c)(2), CHANGES TO KEY PERSONNEL IDENTIFIED IN BLOCK 5

MUST RECEIVE PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

THE RECIPIENT IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ALL NECESSARY REPORTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF

EDUCATION WITHIN 120 DAYS AFTER THE END OF FEDERAL SUPPORT (BLOCK 6).

Requirement: As a condition of this award, a grantee using grant funds for infrastructure projects or activities (e.g., construction, remodeling, and broadband infrastructure) must comply with the following requirements:

(1) All iron and steel used in the infrastructure project or activity are produced in the United States. Accordingly, all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States.

Accordingly, the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation.

GRANT AWARD NOTIFICATION

P116Z230291

(3) All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. Accordingly, all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.

Scope: The Buy America domestic sourcing requirement only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. The requirement does not apply to

(1) tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project.

(2) equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.

Waivers: Grantees may request waivers to the Buy America domestic sourcing requirements by submitting a Build America, Buy America Act Waiver Request Form. Pass-through entities may not approve waivers of the BABAA domestic sourcing requirements.

Records: As required under 2 CFR 200.334, a grantee must maintain financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other non-Federal entity records pertinent to their infrastructure project for a period of three years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report, including all records related to the domestic sourcing of materials used in the infrastructure project(s) supported by this grant or the applicability of any agency-level waivers of the BABAA domestic sourcing requirements the grantee chooses to implement.

Contact: If you have questions about this grant condition, please contact your Education Program contact listed in box 3 of this grant award notification. For more information, see the Department of Education s Build America Buy America Waiver website at: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/fund/guid/buy-america/index.html.

(4) Unless this grant solely funds research, you must comply with new regulations regarding awards to faith-based organizations (FBOs) that provide beneficiary services under this grant or under a contract you award to provide beneficiary services under this grant. These new regulations clarify the rights of FBOs and impose certain duties on FBOs regarding the referral of beneficiaries they serve. See 34 CFR 75.52, 75.712-75.714, appendix A to part 75, and 2 CFR 3474.15. The Department has established a web page that provides guidance on the new regulations, including FAQs and other implementation tools, which is available at http://www2.ed.gov/policy/fund/reg/fbci-reg.html. If you have any questions about these regulations, please contact the Education Program Contact identified in Block 3 of this

GAN.

(5) In accordance with 2 CFR 200.305(b), which applies to the Congressionally Funded Community Projects Program, grantees must minimize the time between drawing down funds from G5 and applying those funds to support the award s activities. Consistent with this requirement, grantees must maintain grant funds in interest-bearing accounts, and any interest earned on grant funds above $500 must be returned to the Federal government. Therefore, the Department requires grantees to only draw down the minimum amount of grant funds necessary, where they are able to be applied immediately to the grant purposes, and to establish a distribution plan prior to drawing down grant funds.

(6) Reimbursement of indirect costs is subject to the availability of funds and statutory and regulatory restrictions. The negotiated indirect cost rate agreement authorizes a non-Federal entity to draw down indirect costs from the grant awards. The following conditions apply to the below entities.

A. All entities (other than institutions of higher education (IHE))

The GAN for this grant award shows the indirect cost rate that applies on the date of the initial grant for this project.

However, after the initial grant date, when a new indirect cost rate agreement is negotiated, the newly approved indirect cost rate supersedes the indirect cost rate shown on the GAN for the initial grant. This new indirect cost rate should be applied according to the period specified in the indirect cost rate agreement, unless expressly limited under EDGAR or program regulations. Any grant award with an approved budget can amend the budget to account for a change in the indirect cost rate. However, for a discretionary grant award any material changes to the budget which

GRANT AWARD NOTIFICATION

P116Z230291 may impact the scope or objectives of the grant must be discussed with the program officer at the Department. See 34 CFR 75.560 (d)(3) (ii) (part 75 of EDGAR).

B. Institutions of higher education (IHE)

Under 2 CFR part 200, Appendix III, Indirect (F&A) Costs Identification and Assignment, and Rate Determination for Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), the Department must apply the negotiated indirect cost rate in effect on the date of the initial grant award to every budget period of the project, including all continuation grants made for this project. See 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix III, paragraph C.7. Therefore, the GAN for each continuation grant will show the original indirect cost rate and it applies to the entire period of performance of this project. If the indirect cost rate agreement that is applicable to this grant does not extend to the end of the grant s project period, the indirect cost rate set at the start of the project period must still be applied to the end of project period regardless of the fact that the rate has otherwise expired.

4. Final - In coordination with the submission of final performance reports, FFRs are due within 120 days after the project or grant period end date (2 CFR 200.328).

When completing an FFR for submission, the following must be noted:

1. Multiple Grant Reporting Using SF 425A Prohibited: While the FFR is a governmentwide form that is designed for single grant and multiple grant award reporting, the Department’s policy is that multiple grant award reporting is not permitted for Department grants. Thus, a Department grantee that is required to submit an FFR in accordance with any of the above referenced selections must complete and submit one FFR for each of its grants. Do not use the FFR attachment (Standard Form 425A), which is available for reporting multiple grants, for reporting on Department grants. As such, references to multiple grant reporting and to the FFR attachment in items 2, 5 and 10 of the FFR are not applicable to Department grantees. With regards to item 1 of the note found in the FFR Instructions, a grantee must complete items 10(a) through 10(o) for each of its grants. The multiple award, multiple grant, and FFR attachment references found in items 2, 5, 6, before 10(a), in item 10(b), before 10(d), before 10(i) and before 10(l) of the Line Item Instructions for the FFR are not applicable to Department grants.

2. Program Income: Unless disallowed by statute or regulation, a grantee will complete item 10(m) or 10(n) in accordance with the options or combination of options as provided in 2 CFR Part

200.307. A grantee is permitted, in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.307, to add program income to its Federal share to further eligible project or program objectives, use program income to finance the non-Federal share of the project or program; and deduct program income from the Federal share of the total project costs.

3. Indirect Costs: A grantee will complete item 11(a) by listing the indirect cost rate type identified on its indirect cost rate agreement, as approved by its cognizant agency for indirect costs.

A Department grantee that does not have an indirect cost rate agreement approved by its cognizant agency for indirect costs, and that is using the Department approved (beyond the 90-day temporary period) temporary indirect cost rate of 10% of budgeted direct salaries and wages, or the de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct cost (MTDC) must list its indirect cost rate in 11(a) as a Department Temporary Rate or De Minimis Rate. The de minimis rate of 10% of MTDC consists of:

All direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and subawards and contracts up to the first $25,000 of each subaward (i.e., subgrant). MTDC excludes equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000. Other items, including contract costs in excess of $25,000, may be excluded when necessary to avoid a serious inequity in the distribution of indirect costs (see definition of MTDC at 2 CFR § 200.1).

A training program grantee whose recovery of indirect cost limits indirect cost recovery to 8% of MTDC or the grantees negotiated indirect cost rate, whichever is less in accordance with EDGAR § 75.562 (c), must list its rate in 11(a) as a Department Training Grant Rate. The 8% limit does not apply to agencies of Indian tribal governments, local governments, and States1 as defined in

2 CFR § 200.1

A restricted program grantee must list its rate as a Restricted Indirect Cost Rate in 11(a). A restricted program (i.e., programs with statutory supplement-not-supplant requirements) grantee must utilize a restricted indirect cost rate negotiated with its cognizant agency for indirect costs, or may elect to utilize a restricted indirect cost rate of 8% MTDC if their negotiated restricted indirect cost rate calculated under 34 CFR 75.563 and 76.564 – 76.569, is not less than 8% MTDC. A State or local government2 that is a restricted program grantee may not elect to utilize the 8% MTDC rate. Additionally, restricted program grantees may not utilize the de minimis rate, but may utilize the temporary rate until a restricted indirect cost rate is negotiated. If a restricted program grantee elects to utilize the temporary rate, it must list its rate as a Department Temporary Rate in 11(a).

Grantees with indirect cost rates prescribed in program statute or regulation must list their rate as a Rate Required in Program Statute or Regulation in 11(a). Grantees are required to follow program-specific statutory or regulatory requirements that mandate either indirect cost rate type or maximum administrative costs recovery.

For detailed information including restrictions related to temporary, de minimis, training, restricted, and program prescribed indirect cost rates see GAN ATTACHMENT 4.

4. Supplemental Pages: If grantees need additional space to report financial information, beyond what is available within the FFR, they should provide supplemental pages. These additional pages must indicate the following information at the top of each page: the PR/Award Number

1 Note that a State-funded institution of higher education is not considered a “State government” for these purposes;

and a Tribal college or university funded by a federally-recognized Tribe is not considered a Tribe for these purposes.

2 Note that a State-funded institution of higher education is not considered a “State government” for these purposes.

GAN ATTACHMENT 3

AN OVERVIEW OF SINGLE AUDIT REQUIREMENTS OF STATES,

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

This GAN ATTACHMENT is not applicable to for-profit organizations. For-profit organizations comply with audit requirements specified in block 10 of their Grant Award Notification

(GAN).

Summary of Single Audit Requirements for States, Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations:

1. Single Audit. A non-Federal entity (a State, local government, Indian tribe, Institution of Higher Education (IHE)1, or nonprofit organization) that expends $750,000 or more during the non-Federal entity’s fiscal year in Federal awards must have a single audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.501, “Audit Requirements,” except when it elects to have a program specific audit conducted.

2. Program-specific audit election. When an auditee expends Federal awards under only one Federal program (excluding research and development (R&D)), and the Federal program’s statutes, regulations, or the terms and conditions of the Federal award do not require a financial statement audit of the auditee, the auditee may elect to have a program–specific audit conducted. A program–specific audit may not be elected for R&D unless all of the Federal awards expended were received from the same Federal agency, or the same Federal agency and the same pass-through entity, and that Federal agency, or pass-through entity in the case of a subrecipient, approves in advance a program-specific audit.

3. Exemption when Federal awards expended are less than $750,000. A non-Federal entity that expends less than $750,000 during the non-Federal entity’s fiscal year in Federal awards is exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR 200.503, but records must be available for review or audit by appropriate officials of the Federal agency, pass-through entity, and Government Accountability Office (GAO). Generally, grant records must be maintained for a period of three years after the date of the final expenditure report (2 CFR § 200.334)

4. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC). Management of an auditee that owns or operates a FFRDC may elect to treat the FFRDC as a separate entity.

5. Report Submission. To meet audit requirements of U.S. Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) Uniform Guidance: Cost Principles, Audit, and Administrative Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), grantees must submit all audit documents required by Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512, including Form SF- SAC: Data Collection Form electronically to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse at:

1 As defined under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) section 101.

https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=307ff59e308082cbd19c1e419b742b69&mc=true&node=se2.1.200_1334&rgn=div8

The audit must be completed, and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Unless restricted by Federal statutes or regulations, the auditee must make copies available for public inspection. Auditees and auditors must ensure that their respective parts of the reporting package do not include protected personally identifiable information. (2 CFR 200.512)

Grantees are strongly urged to obtain the “OMB Compliance Supplement” and to contact their cognizant agency for single audit technical assistance.

The designated cognizant agency for single audit purposes is “the Federal awarding agency that provides the predominant amount of direct funding to the recipient.” Grantees should obtain a copy of the OMB Compliance supplement. This supplement will be instructive to both grantees and their auditors.

Appendix III of the supplement provides a list of Federal Agency Contacts for Single Audits, including addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses for technical assistance.

For single audit-related questions, if the U.S. Department of Education is the cognizant agency, grantees should contact the Non-Federal Audit Team in the Department’s Office of Inspector General, at oignon-federalaudit@ed.gov. Additional resources for single audits are also available on the Non-Federal Audit Team’s website at https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/nonfed/index.html. For programmatic questions, grantees should contact the education program contact shown on the Department’s GAN.

Grantees can obtain information on single audits from:

The OMB website at www.omb.gov. Look under Office of Management and Budget (in right column) then click Office of Federal Financial Management (to obtain OMB Compliance Supplement). The SF- SAC: Data Collection Form can be found at the Federal Audit Clearinghouse at:
