H. Program Income:
 
Program income as defined at 2 CFR §200.1 means gross income received by the grantee or subrecipient that is directly
generated by a grant supported activity or earned as a result of the Federal award during the period of performance. Under
DERA grants, program income is generally limited to the sale of scrapped or remanufactured engines/chassis or salvaged

DS - 98T26201 - 0      Page 14
engine/vehicle/equipment components and does not include revenue generated by recipients or subrecipients through the
commercial use of vehicles and equipment purchased with grant funds. “Period of performance” is the time between the
start and end dates of the period of performance as included in the Federal award.
 
Program income earned during the project period shall be retained by the recipient and, in accordance with 2 CFR
§200.307 recipient is authorized to use program income to meet the cost-sharing or matching requirement of the Federal
award, including any mandatory or voluntary cost-share. The amount of the Federal award remains the same. The recipient
will maintain records adequate to document the extent to which transactions generate program income and the disposition
of program income. The recipient must provide as part of its final performance report, a description of how program income
is being used.  Further, a report on the amount of program income earned during the award period must be submitted with
the final Federal Financial Report, Standard Form 425.
 
I. Equipment Use, Management, and Disposition
 
These equipment use, management, and disposition instructions are applicable to assistance agreement recipients and
subrecipients acquiring equipment under this award. State agencies may use, manage and dispose of equipment acquired
a Federal award by the state in accordance with state laws and procedures.
 
Recipient agrees the equipment acquired under this assistance agreement will be subject to the use and management and
disposition regulations at 2 CFR §200.313.
 
Equipment is defined as tangible personal property having a useful life of more than one year and a per-unit acquisition
cost which equals or exceeds the lesser of $5,000, or the capitalization level established by the non-Federal entity for
financial statement purposes (see Capital assets at 2 CFR §200.1 Definitions). Certified or verified technologies, vehicles,
engines and nonroad equipment are considered to be equipment to the extent they fall within this definition. 
 
Recipient agrees that at the end of the project period the recipient will continue to use the equipment purchased under this
assistance agreement in the project or program for which it was acquired as long as needed, whether or not the project or
program continues to be supported by the Federal award.  When acquiring replacement equipment, the non-Federal entity
may use the equipment to be replaced as a trade-in or sell the property and use the proceeds to offset the cost of the
replacement property.  Items of equipment with a current per unit fair market value of $5,000 or less may be retained, sold
or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation to the Federal awarding agency.
 
J. Procurement Procedures:
 
The recipient must follow applicable procurement procedures.  EPA will not be a party to these transactions. When
procuring property and services under a Federal award, a state must follow the same policies and procedures it uses for
procurements from its non-Federal funds as provided by 2 CFR §200.317. The state will comply with 2 CFR §200.323
Procurement of Recovered Materials, and ensure that every purchase order or other contract includes any clauses required
by 2 CFR §200.327 Contract provisions. All other non-Federal entities, including subrecipients of a state, will follow 2 CFR
§§200.318 General Procurement Standards through 200.327 Contract Provisions.

M. Employee and/or Contractor Selection:
 
EPA will not help select employees or contractors hired by the recipient.
 
N. Cybersecurity Condition
 
State Grant Cybersecurity
 
N.1. The recipient agrees that any subawards it makes under this agreement will require the subrecipient to
comply with the requirements in N.2. 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.
 
O. 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.
 
P. Mandatory Cost-Share Requirement:
 
 
Any voluntary matching funds provided by the state to qualify for the matching incentive are included in the “EPA
funds + Voluntary Match including VW Trust” described below. Mandatory cost-share funds provided by the state
and/or eligible third parties cannot count towards the state’s voluntary matching funds to qualify for the matching
incentive. However, if a state requires a third-party cost-share contribution above and beyond the mandatory cost-
share amount for the elected technology, then the “excess” cost-share may be applied towards the state voluntary
match funds for the purpose of qualifying for the matching incentive.
 
Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust Funds cannot be used to fund any mandatory cost-share.
 
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 estimates, the recipient is required to provide no less than the cost-share percentages outlined below, as
applicable, of the final equipment costs.  EPA's participation shall not exceed the total amount of federal funds
awarded or the maximum federal cost-share percentages outlined below, as applicable, of the final equipment costs.
Recipients must satisfy any applicable cost share requirements with allowable costs as set forth in 2 CFR §200.306.

DS - 98T26201 - 0      Page 18
The cost share requirements are as follows:
 
The eligible acquisition cost for equipment means the net invoice price of the equipment, including the cost of any
modifications, attachments, accessories, or auxiliary apparatus necessary to make it usable for the purpose for
which it is acquired. Ancillary charges, such as taxes, duty, protective in transit insurance and freight may be
included in or excluded from the acquisition cost in accordance with the non-Federal entity's regular accounting
practices.
 
P. Leveraging:
 
The recipient agrees to provide the proposed leveraged funding, including any voluntary cost-share contribution that
is described in its final approved workplan.  If the proposed leveraging does not materialize during the period of
award performance, and the recipient does not provide a satisfactory explanation, the Agency may consider this
factor in evaluating future applications from the recipient.  In addition, if the proposed leveraging does not

materialize during the period of award performance then EPA may reconsider the legitimacy of the award; if EPA
determines that the recipient knowingly or recklessly provided inaccurate information regarding the leveraged
funding the recipient described in its final approved workplan.  EPA may take action as authorized by 2 CFR Part
200 and/or 2 CFR Part 180 as applicable.
 
R. Voluntary Cost-Share:
 
If a state provides a voluntary match equal to the base allocation offered by EPA, EPA will provide a matching
incentive equal to 50 percent of the base allocation. The voluntary match may be satisfied by allowable costs
incurred by the state (i.e. in-kind contributions), or by cash donations of state funds or private funds. State voluntary
matching funds included in the approved project budget are subject to the same terms and conditions and funding
limits as the awarded DERA funds. A recipient is legally obligated to expend any voluntary match included in the
approved project budget within the project period of that award.
 
Any voluntary matching funds provided by the state to qualify for the matching incentive count towards the “EPA
funds + Voluntary Match including VW Trust” described in Term and Condition P, above. Mandatory cost share
funds provided by the state and/or eligible third parties cannot count towards the state’s voluntary matching funds to
qualify for the matching incentive. However, if a state requires a third-party cost-share contribution above and
beyond the mandatory cost-share amount for the elected technology, then the “excess” cost-share may be applied
towards the state voluntary match funds for the purpose of qualifying for the matching incentive.
 
Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust Funds may be used (via the DERA Option) as voluntary matching funds
but cannot be used to fund any mandatory cost-share.
 
This award and the resulting federal funding of $525,392 is based on estimated costs requested in the recipient’s
final approved workplan. Included in these costs is a voluntary cost-share contribution of $1,745,550 by the recipient
in the form of a voluntary cost-share that the recipient included in its final approved workplan.  The recipient must
provide this voluntary cost-share contribution during performance of this award unless the EPA agrees otherwise in
a modification to this agreement. While actual total costs may differ from the estimates in the recipient’s application,
EPA's participation shall not exceed the total amount of federal funds awarded.  
 
  
If the recipient fails to provide the voluntary cost-share contribution during the period of award performance, and
does not provide a satisfactory explanation, the Agency may consider this factor in evaluating future applications
from the recipient.  In addition, if the voluntary cost-share contribution does not materialize during the period of
award performance then EPA may reconsider the legitimacy of the award; if EPA determines that the recipient
knowingly or recklessly provided inaccurate information regarding the voluntary cost-share or overmatch the
recipient described in its final approved workplan, EPA may take action as authorized by 2 CFR Part 200 and/or 2
CFR Part 180 as applicable.
 
S. 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.
Engine replacements, marine and locomotive shorepower 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

DS - 98T26201 - 0      Page 20
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.
 
• 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 rebate 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 Award Official or Grants Management Officer is also required.
