U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Micro-Grant Award Provisions
General
For purposes of this U.S. Fish and Wildlife (Service) agreement, the term “grant” refers to both grants and cooperative agreements. The fixed amount grant is subject to the terms and is issued in accordance with 43 CFR Part 12 with the exception of the “Exclusions” noted below (www.access.gpo.gov\nara\cfr).
Type of Award
This grant award specifies a fixed amount of funding, based on the approved budget for a Service project described in the award and referenced proposal. By accepting this agreement, the recipient certifies that the budget reflects a good faith estimate for accomplishing the objectives of the grant and that the project will be carried out in accordance with the proposed objectives and budget. The Service anticipates paying the full award amount without regard to the grantee’s actual cost. The fixed amount is not subject to adjustment except as provided under the termination provisions of the award. The award is not subject to the financial management standards except as provided under 43 CFR 12.923 and 12.960.
The Service will make advanced payment when deemed appropriate and authorized by the Service Program Representative. Final payment of this fixed-amount is subject to the recipient’s acceptance and compliance with the terms of the grant. The Service will make final payment by EFT or other means when the Service’s Program Representative determines that the grantee has successfully accomplished the objectives. Program income, if any, must be used in accordance with 43 CFR 12.924(b)(2) and (b)(1). If the grant requires cost sharing or matching, such amounts will be based on the fixed amount of Service support specified in the grant award.
Reports
The Service waives any requirements for financial status reports. The Service anticipates waiving performance reports requirements unless otherwise specified in the award. If performance reporting is required, the recipient must submit a performance report to the Service Program Representative identified in the award within 90 days of the end of the grant. The report must contain the information required by 43 CFR 12.951 as applicable. Recipients must comply with the requirements in the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Manual (DM) Part 505, Chapter 4 “Deposit of Publications Produced Under Grants” (http://www.doi.gov/pam/pamfaeg.html).
Exclusions
Except as otherwise specified in the award, we exclude the following requirements contained in 43 CFR Part 12 (and corresponding OMB Circulars A-110 and A-122) from this grant:
Subpart F 12.921, Standards for Financial Management Systems 12.925, Revision of Budget and Program Plans (paragraphs (c) (1) through (3) and (8), (d) and (e) still apply). 12.927, Allowable Costs 12.928, Period of Availability of Funds 12.935, Supplies and Other Expendable Property. 12.952, Financial Reporting. 12.971, Closeout Procedures
