Duplication

If you or a subrecipient needs to duplicate less than 5,000 units of only 1 page, or less than 25,000 units in the aggregate of multiple pages, of its findings for the awarding agency, OJP will not consider this duplication to constitute printing primarily or substantially for the awarding agency (e.g., 5,000 copies of 5 pages, etc.). Duplicated pages may not exceed a maximum image size of 10¾ by 14¼ inches.
