Article 34

Required Use of American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and
Construction Materials

Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from a program for
infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award
may be used for a project for infrastructure unless: (1) all iron and steel used in the
project are produced in the United States—this means all manufacturing
processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings,
occurred in the United States; (2) all manufactured products used in the project are
produced in the United States—this means 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; and (3) all construction materials are
manufactured in the United States—this means that all manufacturing processes
for the construction material occurred in the United States. The Buy America
preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in,
incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As 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. The agency should notify the recipient for information on the
process for requesting a waiver from these requirements. (a) When the Federal
agency has determined 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. Definitions The definitions applicable to this term are
set forth at 2 C.F.R. § 184.3, the full text of which is incorporated by reference.

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. General
guidance for FEMA's EHP process is available on the DHS/FEMA Website at:
https://Awww.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic. Specific
applicant guidance on how to submit information for EHP review depends on the
individual grant program and applicants should contact their grant Program Officer
to be put into contact with EHP staff responsible for assisting their specific grant
program. 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 archaeological resources are
discovered the applicant will immediately cease work in that area and notify the
pass-through entity, if applicable, and DHS/FEMA.

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 sub-recipients 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.

Acceptance of Post Award Changes

In the event FEMA determines that an error in the award package has been made,
or if an administrative change must be made to the award package, recipients will
be notified of the change in writing. Once the notification has been made, any
subsequent requests for funds will indicate recipient acceptance of the changes to
the award. Please call FEMA Grant Management Operations at (866) 927-5646 or
via e-mail to: ASK-GMD@fema.dhs.gov if you have any questions.

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 sub-recipients, when that equipment is no longer
needed for the origint! 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 sub-recipients must follow the
disposition requirements in accordance with state laws and procedures.

Article 48

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.
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. 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.

Indirect Cost Rate

2 C.F.R. section 200.21 1(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.

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.
