Subject: Nonmonetary Recognition
Sec. 1 What is the purpose of this Order? This Order clarifies what authority allows us to grant nonmonetary awards to partners-in-mission.
Sec. 2 Does this Order amend other directives? This Order amends 224 FW 5, November 29, 2001, by adding the following to paragraph 5.1:
Partners-in-mission are not permitted to receive awards under 5 U.S.C. 45.
However, the Department of the Interior's Appropriations Act of 1992

value to private individuals and organizations that make contributions to
Department of the Interior programs.
