such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding,
brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure
project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to 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 When necessary, recipients may apply for, and
the agency may grant, a waiver from these requirements. Information on the process for
requesting a waiver from these requirements is on the website below. (a) When the federal
agency has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the awarding
official may waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference in any case
in which the agency determines that: (1) applying the domestic content procurement
preference would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) the types of iron, steel,
manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality; or (3) the inclusion of
iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States
will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. A request to waive the
application of the domestic content procurement preference must be in writing. The agency
will provide instructions on the format, contents, and supporting materials required for any
waiver request. Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15
days and must be reviewed by the Made in America Office. There may be instances where an
award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing waiver described at “Buy America”
Preference in FEMA Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure | FEMA.gov. The
awarding Component may provide specific instructions to Recipients of awards from
infrastructure programs that are subject to the “Build America, Buy America” provisions.
Recipients should refer to the Notice of Funding Opportunity for further information on the Buy
America preference and waiver process.

Article 42 Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review
DHS/FEMA funded activities that may require an Environmental Planning and Historic
Preservation (EHP) review are subject to the FEMA EHP review process. This review does
not address all federal, state, and local requirements. Acceptance of federal funding requires
the 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. In
order to initiate EHP review of your project(s), you must submit a detailed project description
along with supporting documentation. 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 orders, regulations, and
policies. If ground disturbing activities occur during construction, applicant will monitor ground
disturbance, and if any potential archeological resources are discovered the applicant will
immediately cease work in that area and notify the pass-through entity, if applicable, and
DHS/FEMA.

Article 43 Applicability of DHS Standard Terms and Conditions to Tribes
The DHS Standard Terms and Conditions are a restatement of general requirements imposed
upon recipients and flow down to subrecipients as a matter of law, regulation, or executive
order. If the requirement does not apply to Indian tribes or there is a federal law or regulation
exempting its application to Indian tribes, then the acceptance by Tribes of, or acquiescence
to, DHS Standard Terms and Conditions does not change or alter its inapplicability to an
Indian tribe. The execution of grant documents is not intended to change, alter, amend, or
impose additional liability or responsibility upon the Tribe where it does not already exist.
Article 44 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 45 Disposition of Equipment Acquired Under the Federal Award
For purposes of original or replacement equipment acquired under this award by a non-state
recipient or non-state subrecipients, when that equipment 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. section 200.313. State recipients and state subrecipients
must follow the disposition requirements in accordance with state laws and procedures.
Article 46 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. section 200.308. For purposes
of non-construction projects, FEMA is utilizing its discretion to impose an additional restriction
under 2 C.F.R. section 200.308(f) regarding the transfer of funds among direct cost
categories, programs, functions, or activities. Threfore, 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. For purposes of awards that support both construction and non-construction work,
FEMA is utilizing its discretion under 2 C.F.R. section 200.308(h)(5) to require the recipient to
obtain prior written approval from FEMA before making any fund or budget transfers between
the two types of work. 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 47 Indirect Cost Rate
2 C.F.R. section 200.211(b)(15) requires the terms of the award to include the indirect cost
rate for the federal award. If applicable, the indirect cost rate for this award is stated in the
budget documents or other materials approved by FEMA and included in the award file.

Article 48 Performance Measures
BRIC aims to implement projects that reduce risks posed by natural hazards, and reduce
future losses, by funding priority projects and activities. To achieve these goals, for FY20
BRIC is prioritizing the following types of projects: infrastructure projects, those that mitigate
risk to lifelines, those that incorporate nature-based solutions, and projects proposed by
applicants who adopt and enforce mandatory tribal-, territory-, or state-wide building codes
based on the latest published editions of building codes. FEMA will measure the percent of
dollars invested in these priorities, which will indicate that BRIC projects expect to meet the
goal of reducing both risk posed by natural hazards and future losses. Based on the review of
your application, FEMA has verified that the claimed costs are consistent with the stated
program objective. By accepting this award, you certify that the total Federal award will
measure the percent of dollars invested in these priorities and costs incurred by the recipient
during FY 2020, in keeping with the program objective. BRIC is a new program, and as a
result, FEMA will further assess the recipient’s performance against the program objective
during the award closeout process as outlined in Section F.3 of the FY 2020 BRIC Grant
Notice of Funding Opportunity
Article 49 Changes to Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations
The references in the FY 2020 BRIC NOFO to regulations in 2 C.F.R. Parts 25, 170, and 200
have been superseded by recent revisions by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Most of the changes are effective November 12, 2020, with a couple effective August 13,
2020. See OMB, Guidance for Grants and Agreements, Final Guidance, 85 Fed. Reg. 49,506
(Aug. 13, 2020), https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-08-13/pdf/2020-17468.pdf.
The FY 2020 BRIC NOFO was published before these rules were revised, but since this
award is being made after all revisions went into effect, the revised rules apply to this award.
To the extent the requirements or regulatory citations are the same, the FY 2020 BRIC NOFO
will continue to apply to this award. Conversely, to the extent there is a conflict between the FY
2020 BRIC NOFO and the revised 2 C.F.R. regulations, the language and citations of the
revised 2 C.F.R. regulations will apply. Additional information on the changes to these
regulations, including specific revisions regarding closeout and procurement under grants, can
be found at https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/2-cfr-2020.
Article 50 Construction Project Requirements
1. Acceptance of Federal funding requires the Recipient and any Subrecipients to comply with
all Federal, state and local laws prior to the start of any construction activity. Failure to obtain
all appropriate Federal, state and local environmental permits and clearances may jeopardize
Federal funding. 2. Any change to the approved scope of work will require re-evaluation by
FEMA for Recipient and Subrecipient compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act
and other laws and Executive Orders. 3. If ground disturbing activities occur during
construction, the Recipient and any Subrecipients must ensure monitoring of ground
disturbance and, if any potential archaeological resources are discovered, the Subrecipient
will immediately cease construction in that area and notify the Recipient and FEMA.
Article 51 Copyright and Data Rights
The recipient is free to copyright any original work developed in the course of or under this
Grant Agreement. The recipient acknowledges that DHS/FEMA reserves a royalty-free, non-
exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and authority others
to use, for Federal Government purposes: 1) the copyright in any work developed under an
award or subaward; and 2) any rights of copyright to which a recipient or subrecipient
purchases ownership with Federal support in a manner consistent with 2 C.F.R. § 200.315.
The recipient acknowledges that DHS/FEMA has the right to obtain, reproduce, publish, or
otherwise use the data produced under a Federal award and authorize others to so for Federal
Government purposes in a manner consistent with 2 C.F.R. § 200.315.

Article 52 Remedies for Noncompliance and Enforcement
FEMA remedies for noncompliance will be processed as specified in 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.339-
200.343 , and for acquisitions under this award for open space, FEMA enforcement remedies
shall be processed as specified in 44 C.F.R. § 80.19(e), when the Terms and Conditions of
this Grant Agreement are not met
Article 53 Insurance
In compliance with 42 U.S.C. § 4012a(a), when financial assistance is approved for
acquisition or construction purposes within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), flood
insurance shall be maintained for the life of the property regardless of transfer of ownership for
any properties.
Article 54 HMA Duplication of Benefits
Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funds cannot duplicate or be duplicated by funds
received by or available to Applicants, Subapplicants, or project or planning participants from
other sources for the same cost or activity already paid for by another source of funding, such
as benefits received from insurance claims, other assistance programs (including previous
project or planning grants and subawards from HMA programs), legal awards, or other
benefits associated with properties or damage that are or could be subject of litigation.
Because the availability of other sources of mitigation grant or loan assistance is subject to
available information and the means of each individual Applicant, HMA does not require proof
that other assistance (not including insurance) has been sought. However, it is the
responsibility of the property owner to report other benefits received, any applications for other
assistance, the availability of insurance proceeds, or the potential for other compensation,
such as from pending legal claims for damages, relating to the property. Amounts of other
grants, loans or other assistance designated for the same purpose as HMA funds, if received,
may be used to reduce the non-Federal cost-share. Where the property owner has an
insurance policy covering any loss to the property which relates to the proposed HMA project,
the means are available for receiving compensation for a loss or, in the case of increased cost
of compliance (ICC), assistance toward certain mitigation projects. FEMA will generally
require that the property owner file a claim prior to the receipt of HMA funds.
Article 55 Additional Non-Discrimination Requirements
Applicants/Recipients and Subapplicants/Subrecipients will ensure that no discrimination is
practiced. Applicants must consider fairness, equity, and equal access when prioritizing and
selecting project subapplications to submit with their application. Subapplicants and
Subrecipients must ensure fairness, equity, and equal access when consulting and making
offers of mitigation to property owners that benefit from mitigation activities.
Article 56 Changes in Scope of Work
Requests for changes to the scope of work (SOW) after award are permissible as long as they
do not change the nature or total project cost of the activity, properties identified in the
subapplication, the feasibility and effectiveness of the project, or the benefit cost ratio.
Requests must be supported by adequate justification from the applicant in order to be
processed. The justification is a description of the proposed change, a written explanation of
the reason or reasons for the change; an outline of remaining funds available to support the
change; and a full description of the work necessary to complete the activity. All approvals will
be at FEMA’s discretion, and there is no guarantee that SOW changes will be approved.
Article 57 Recoupment of Funds
FEMA will recoup mitigation planning grant funds for grants that do not meet the deliverable
criteria of an adopted, FEMA-approved mitigation plan by the end of the performance period.
EXHIBIT A to RESOLUTION
Article 58 Recovery of Funds
The Recipient will process the recovery of assistance paid to Subrecipients processed
through error, misrepresentation, or fraud or if funds are spent inappropriately. Recovered
funds shall be submitted to FEMA as soon as the funds are collected, but no later than 90
days from the expiration date of the appropriate grant award agreement.

SF-425) for project completion, as certified by the Recipient, final Program Performance
Report (SF-PPR), and all other closeout documents 120 days after the end date of the
performance period per the new 2 C.F.R. § 200.344.
Article 61 Record Retention
Records shall be retained for at least 3 years (except in certain rare circumstances) from the
date the final Federal Financial Report for project completion as certified by the Recipient is
submitted to FEMA in compliance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (specifically the new 2 C.F.R. §
200.334 effective Nov. 12, 2020) and Section 705 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. § 5205).
Article 62 Termination
FEMA may terminate a federal award in whole or in part for one of the following reasons.
FEMA and the recipient must still comply with closeout requirements at 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.344-
200.345 even if an award is terminated in whole or in part. To the extent that subawards are
permitted under this NOFO, pass-through entities should refer to 2 C.F.R. § 200.340 for
additional information on termination regarding subawards. Noncompliance: If a recipient fails
to comply with the terms and conditions of a federal award, FEMA may terminate the award in
whole or in part. If the noncompliance can be corrected, FEMA may first attempt to direct the
recipient to correct the noncompliance. This may take the form of a Compliance Notification. If
the noncompliance cannot be corrected or the recipient is non-responsive, FEMA may
proceed with a Remedy Notification, which could impose a remedy for noncompliance per 2
C.F.R. § 200.339, including termination. Any action to terminate based on noncompliance will
follow the requirements of 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.341-200.342 as well as the requirement of 2 C.F.R.
§ 200.340(c) to report in FAPIIS the recipient’s material failure to comply with the award terms
and conditions. With the Consent of the Recipient: FEMA may also terminate an award in
whole or in part with the consent of the recipient, in which case the parties must agree upon
the termination conditions, including the effective date, and in the case of partial termination,
the portion to be terminated. Notification by the Recipient: The recipient may terminate the
award, in whole or in part, by sending written notification to FEMA setting forth the reasons for
such termination, the effective date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be
terminated. In the case of partial termination, FEMA may determine that a partially terminated
award will not accomplish the purpose of the federal award, so FEMA may terminate the
award in its entirety. If that occurs, FEMA will follow the requirements of 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.341-
200.342 in deciding to fully terminate the award.
