(a) The recipient agrees that when collecting and managing environmental data under this assistance agreement, it will
protect the data by following all applicable State law cybersecurity requirements.
(b) (1) EPA must ensure that any connections between the recipient’s network or information system and EPA networks
used by the recipient to transfer data under this agreement, are secure. For purposes of this Section, a connection is
defined as a dedicated persistent interface between an Agency IT system and an external IT system for the purpose of
transferring information. Transitory, user-controlled connections such as website browsing are excluded from this definition.
If the recipient’s connections as defined above do not go through the Environmental Information Exchange Network or
EPA’s Central Data Exchange, the recipient agrees to contact the EPA Project Officer (PO) and work with the designated
Regional/Headquarters Information Security Officer to ensure that the connections meet EPA security requirements,
including entering into Interconnection Service Agreements as appropriate. This condition does not apply to manual entry of
data by the recipient into systems operated and used by EPA’s regulatory programs for the submission of reporting and/or
compliance data.
(2) The recipient agrees that any subawards it makes under this agreement will require the subrecipient to comply with the
requirements in (b)(1) if the subrecipient’s network or information system is connected to EPA networks to transfer data to
the Agency using systems other than the Environmental Information Exchange Network or EPA’s Central Data Exchange.
The recipient will be in compliance with this condition: by including this requirement in subaward agreements; and during
subrecipient monitoring deemed necessary by the recipient under 2 CFR 200.332(d), by inquiring whether the subrecipient
has contacted the EPA Project Officer. Nothing in this condition requires the recipient to contact the EPA Project Officer on
behalf of a subrecipient or to be involved in the negotiation of an Interconnection Service Agreement between the
subrecipient and EPA.
c. Mandatory Cost-Share Requirement
This award and the resulting federal funding share (as shown under "Notice of Award" in the award document) is based on
estimated costs requested in the recipient’s final approved workplan. While actual total costs may differ than those

must not be prominently displayed to imply that any of the recipient or subrecipient’s activities are being conducted by the
EPA. Instead, the EPA logo should be accompanied with a statement indicating that the [Insert Recipient or subrecipient
NAME] received financial support from the EPA under an Assistance Agreement. More information is available
at: https://www.epa.gov/stylebook/using-epa-seal-and-logo#policy.
g. Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any references to collection of information in the recipient’s application or proposal for EPA funding, the
scope of work for this cooperative agreement does not include a survey or other information collection of identical
information from 10 or more parties. No EPA funds (directly paid by EPA or from the recipient’s cost share) may be used
for the design or administration of such an information collection, and EPA personnel may not participate in such activities.
Reasonable costs for analyzing independently collected information and publishing the results of such information
collections are allowable to the extent authorized in the EPA approved budget for this agreement.
h. Final Approved Workplan and Modifications
Recipient agrees to carry out the project in accordance with the final approved workplan. Recipients are required to report
deviations from budget or project scope or objective, and must request prior written approval from EPA:
For any change in the scope or objective of the project or program (even if there is no associated budget revision
requiring prior written approval);
For any change in a key person specified in the application or workplan;
For the disengagement from the project for more than three months, or a 25% reduction in time devoted to the
project, by the approved project director or principal investigator;
For the inclusion of costs that require prior approval in accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200 Subpart E—Cost
Principles or 48 CFR part 31, “Contract Cost Principles and Procedures,” as applicable;
For the transfer of funds budgeted for participant support costs as defined in 2 CFR Section 200.1 Definitions to
other categories of expense; and/or
Unless described in the final approved workplan and budget:
For the subawarding, transferring or contracting out of any work under the award;
For changes in the approved cost-sharing or matching provided by the recipient; or

DS - 98T86201 - 0 Page 10
When the need arises for additional Federal funds to complete the project.
Proposed modifications to the approved workplan or budget, including additions, deletions, or changes in the schedule,
shall be submitted in a timely manner to the EPA Project Officer for approval. Depending on the type or scope of changes,
a formal amendment to the award may be necessary. Major project modifications which include changes to the approved
types and number of affected vehicles, engines, or equipment, or the approved types of emission reduction technologies to
be implemented, or to the approved project location(s) may not be allowed.
i. For-Profit Sub-Recipients
In addition to the EPA General Term and Condition “Establishing and Managing Subawards”, the recipient (i.e. “pass-
through entity”) agrees to require that for-profit subrecipients comply with Subparts A through F of the Uniform Grant
Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) and the Federal cost principles applicable to for-profit entities located at 48 CFR Part 31, with
the exception of the method of payment to for-profit subrecipients must be “reimbursement” rather than “advance”. Pass-
through entities must obtain documentation that the for-profit subrecipient has incurred eligible and allowable costs prior to
releasing EPA funds to the subrecipient.
j. Rebates
Rebates, subsidies, and similar one-time, lump-sum payments to program beneficiaries for the purchase of eligible
emissions control technologies and vehicle replacements are eligible participant support costs under this award, when the
program beneficiary rather than the recipient owns the equipment. Engine replacements, marine and locomotive shore
power projects, and most electrified parking space technology projects are not eligible as participant support costs.
Rebates can only fund a participating fleet owner’s equipment purchase and installation costs (i.e. parts and labor, including
costs incurred to scrap the existing vehicle); if a participating fleet owner requires funding for project administration, travel,
extensive design/engineering, construction, etc., in order to carry out the project a subaward is the more appropriate option.
Questions regarding the use of rebates under this award should be directed to the EPA Project Officer. Rebates are not
considered subawards/subgrants as defined in 2 CFR Part 200 and should not be treated as such under this award.
Program beneficiaries may be individual owner/operators or private or public fleet owners, however program beneficiaries
cannot be employees, contractors or subrecipients of the DERA grant recipient. Rebates cannot exceed the applicable EPA
cost share limits as defined in the terms of this award agreement. Participant support costs for rebates must be supported
by guidelines issued by the recipient and approved by EPA’s Award Official or Grants Management Officer, defining the
rules, restrictions, timelines, programmatic requirements, reporting and transaction documentation requirements, eligibility,
and funding levels that rebate beneficiaries must follow. Additionally, there must be written agreement between recipient or
subrecipient and the program beneficiary that describes the activities that will be supported by rebates, subsidies or other
payments, specifies the amount of the rebate, subsidy or payment, identifies which party will have title to equipment (if any)
purchased with a rebate or subsidy, and establishes source documentation requirements to ensure proper accounting of
EPA funds and specifies any reporting required by the beneficiary.
EPA Guidance on Participant Support Costs (https://www.epa.gov/grants/rain-2018-g05-r1) specifies requirements for r
ebate program approval by Authorized EPA Officials. EPA’s Award Official or Grants Management Officer must approve
participant support costs on the basis of either a precise description of the participant support costs in the EPA approved
budget and work plan, or on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Should a DERA recipient decide to award participant
support costs that were not described in the approved work plan and budget the recipient must obtain prior written approval
from EPA’s Award Official or Grants Management Officer. Moreover, after a grant is awarded, should a recipient decide to
modify the amount approved (upwards or downwards) for participant support costs, prior written approval from EPA’s

DS - 98T86201 - 0 Page 11
Award Official or Grants Management Officer is also required.
k. Procurement Procedures
The recipient must follow applicable procurement procedures. EPA will not be a party to these transactions. If EPA funds
are used to purchase goods or services, recipient agrees to compete the contracts for those goods and services and
conduct cost and price analyses to the extent required by the fair and open competition for procurement provisions of 2
CFR §§200.317 – .327. Approval of a funding application does not relieve recipients of their obligations to compete service
contracts and conduct cost and price analyses.
l. Project Eligibility Criteria
(a) Recipient agrees that funds under this award, including subawards/subgrants, cannot be used to upgrade engines,
vehicles, and equipment that do not meet the eligibility criteria defined in Table 4: Medium and Heavy-Duty Truck, Transit
Bus, and School Bus Project Eligibility, Table 5. Nonroad Engine Project Eligibility, Table 6: Marine Engine Project
Eligibility, and/or Table 7: Locomotive Engine Project Eligibility found in the 2023-2024 DERA State Grants Program Guide,
EPA-420-B-23-031.
(1) Drayage Vehicle Replacement Project Requirements: In addition to the applicable requirements for highway vehicles
described in (a) above, recipients replacing drayage vehicles are required to establish and document guidelines to ensure
that the scrapped vehicle has a history of operating on a frequent basis over the prior year as a drayage truck, defined as
any Class 8a and 8b in-use on-road vehicle with a gross weight rating (GVWR) of greater than 33,000 pounds operating on
or transgressing through port or intermodal rail yard property for the purpose of loading, unloading or transporting cargo,
such as containerized, bulk or break-bulk goods.
(b) Best Achievable Technology (BAT): Recipient agrees to submit a best achievable technology analysis to EPA for
approval before Tier 3 or Tier 4i vehicles, equipment, or engines can be purchased, as defined below.
(1) The analysis must be prepared by the engine manufacturer or installer.
(2) Using good engineering judgment, the engine manufacturer or installer must determine that no internal combustion
engine certified to Tier 4 is produced by any manufacturer with the appropriate physical or performance characteristics to
replace the existing engine in the equipment.
(3) If the engine manufacturer or installer determines that no internal combustion engine certified to Tier 4 is available with
the appropriate performance characteristics, explain why certified Tier 4 engines produced by them and other
manufacturers cannot be used as a replacement because they are not similar to the engine being replaced in terms of
power or speed.
(4) If there are available internal combustion engines with the appropriate performance characteristics but the engine
manufacturer or installer determines that no engine certified to Tier 4 is available with the appropriate physical
characteristics, explain why certified internal combustion engines produced by them and other manufacturers cannot be
used as a replacement because their weight or dimensions are substantially different than those of the engine being
replaced, or because they will not fit within the equipment’s engine compartment.
(5) In evaluating appropriate physical or performance characteristics, the engine manufacturer or installer may account for
compatibility with equipment components that would not otherwise be replaced when installing a new engine, including but
not limited to transmissions or reduction gears, drive shafts, cooling systems, operator controls, or electrical systems. If the
engine manufacturer or installer makes their determination on this basis, they should identify the equipment components

DS - 98T86201 - 0 Page 12
that are incompatible with internal combustion engines certified to Tier 4 and explain how they are incompatible and why it
would be unreasonable to replace them.
(6) Identify the proposed Tier 3 or Tier 4i engines to be used and discuss the physical and performance characteristics of
the engines that will ensure compatibility with the existing equipment. Quantify proposed emission reductions, PM cost
effectiveness and NOx cost effectiveness for the proposed options.
(7) DERA project eligibility or approval does not supersede any regulatory requirements for equipment owners, operators,
manufactures, installers and others, including but not limited to 40 CFR §1068.240, §1042.615, and §1033.601.
(8) Costs for design and engineering analysis may be included in the project budget.
m. Ownership, Usage and Remaining Life Requirements

o. Buy America Requirements
Certain projects under this competition are subject to the Buy America Sourcing requirements under the Build America, Buy
America (BABA) provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (P.L. 117-58, §§70911-70917) when using
Federal funds for the purchase of goods, products, and materials on any form of construction, alteration, maintenance, or
repair of infrastructure in the United States. The Buy America preference applies to all of the iron and steel, manufactured
products, and construction materials used for the infrastructure project under an award for identified EPA financial
assistance funding programs. Please consider this information when preparing project and budget information.
These sourcing requirements require that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in
Federally funded infrastructure projects must be “produced in the United States”, as defined in P.L. 117-58 § 70912(6). The
recipient must implement these requirements in its procurements, and this article must flow down to all subawards and
contracts at any tier. For legal definitions and sourcing requirements, the recipient must consult EPA’s Build America, Buy
America website.
Under BABA, a Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated
into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. On-highway vehicles/engines and non-road engines/equipment funded by this
program are not considered “infrastructure.” The following potentially eligible projects under this competition meet the
definition of “infrastructure” and are subject to Buy America preference requirements under BABA:
• Structures, facilities, and equipment that generate, transport, and distribute energy - including electric vehicle (EV)
charging equipment. (While EV charging equipment constitutes infrastructure, recipients should note that EPA
issued a temporary, time-limited, public-interest product waiver for electric vehicle chargers in July 2023. See
Electronic Vehicle Chargers Product Waiver of Section 70914(a) of P. L. 117-58, Build America, Buy America Act,
2021 for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Financial Assistance Awards, available at
https://www.epa.gov/cwsrf/build-america-buy-america-baba-approved-waivers.)
• Any other permanent public structure that meets the infrastructure definition in M-22-11. Questions regarding
BABA applicability to specific projects should be submitted to DERA@epa.gov.
When supported by rationale provided in IIJA §70914, the recipient may submit a request for a BABA waiver to EPA. If
selected for funding, the recipient should request guidance on submitting a BABA waiver request to EPA from the EPA
Project Officer. A list of approved EPA waivers is available on the Build America, Buy America website. Please continue to
monitor this website for further BABA guidance or any future EPA-wide waivers that may impact the DERA State Grants
program.
In additional to BABA requirements, all procurements under grants may be subject to the domestic preference provisions of
2 CFR 200.322. See “Build America, Buy America” clause in EPA Solicitation Clauses.
p. Scrappage
The vehicle, equipment, and/or engine being replaced must be scrapped or rendered permanently disabled within ninety
(90) days of being replaced.
