DHS financial assistance recipients must complete either the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Standard Form 424B Assurances - Non -Construction Programs, or

Certain assurances in these documents may not be applicable to your program, and the
DHS financial assistance office (DHS FAO) may require applicants to certify additional
assurances. Applicants are required to fill out the assurances applicable to their
program as instructed by the awarding agency. Please contact the DHS FAO if you
have any questions. DHS financial assistance recipients are required to follow the
applicable provisions of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards located at Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations
(C.F.R.) Part 200, and adopted by DHS at 2 C.F.R. Part 3002.
Article 2 DHS Specific Acknowledgements and Assurances
All recipients, subrecipients, successors, transferees, and assignees must
acknowledge and agree to comply with applicable provisions governing DHS access to
records, accounts, documents, information, facilities, and staff. 1. Recipients must
cooperate with any compliance reviews or compliance investigations conducted by
DHS. 2. Recipients must give DHS access to, and the right to examine and copy,
records, accounts, and other documents and sources of information related to the
federal financial assistance award and permit access to facilities, personnel, and other
individuals and information as may be necessary, as required by DHS regulations and
other applicable laws or program guidance. 3. Recipients must submit timely, complete,
and accurate reports to the appropriate DHS officials and maintain appropriate backup
documentation to support the reports. 4. Recipients must comply with all other special
reporting, data collection, and evaluation requirements, as prescribed by law or
detailed in program guidance. 5. Recipients of federal financial assistance from DHS
must complete the DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool within thirty (30) days of receipt of
the Notice of Award or, for State Administering Agencies, thirty (30) days from receipt
of the DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool from DHS or its awarding component agency.
Recipients are required to provide this information once every two (2) years, not every
time an award is made. After the initial submission for the first award under which this
term applies, recipients are only required to submit updates every two years, not every
time a grant is awarded. Recipients should submit the completed tool, including
supporting materials to CivilRightsEvaluation@hq.dhs.gov. This tool clarifies the civil
rights obligations and related reporting requirements contained in the DHS Standard
Terms and Conditions. Subrecipients are not required to complete and submit this tool
to DHS. The evaluation tool can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/publication/dhs-civil-
rights-evaluation-tool. 6. The DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties will
consider, in its discretion, granting an extension if the recipient identifies steps and a
timeline for completing the tool. Recipients should request extensions by emailing the
request to CivilRightsEvaluation@hq.dhs.gov prior to expiration of the 30-day deadline.

in connection therewith, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, disability,
familial status, and sex (see 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.), as implemented by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development at 24 C.F.R. Part 100. The prohibition

C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E may not be charged to other federal financial assistance
awards to overcome fund deficiencies; to avoid restrictions imposed by federal statutes,
regulations, or federal financial assistance award terms and conditions; or for other
reasons. However, these prohibitions would not preclude recipients from shifting costs
