The EHP review process must be completed before funds are released to carry out the proposed project; otherwise, DHS may not be able to fund the project due to noncompliance with EHP laws, executive orders, regulations, and policies. If ground disturbing activities occur during construction, applicant will monitor ground disturbance, and if any potential archaeological resources are discovered the applicant will immediately cease work in that area and notify the pass -through entity, if applicable, and DHS.

The Recipient and any Recipient institution will ensure that all legal requirements for compliance with U.S. export controls are met prior to transferring commodities, technologies, technical data, or other controlled information to a non-U.S. person or entity. Patent rights The Recipient is subject to applicable regulations governing patents and inventions, including government -wide regulations, 37 CFR Part 401, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements."

The views and conclusions expressed in this document are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or the United States." S. TERMINATION PROVISIONS 1. General. The regulations at 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.340-343 set forth the administrative requirements concerning the termination of federal awards. Termination means the ending of a federal award, in whole or in part, at any time before the planned end of the period of performance. As required by 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(b), the purpose of this term and condition is to specify termination provisions applicable to the federal award in addition to those set forth in the regulations. 2. Termination by DHS. The regulation at 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a) provides that DHS may unilaterally terminate the federal award in whole or part if the Recipient fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the federal award and when, to the greatest extent authorized by law, the federal award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities. When terminating a federal award, the DHS will promptly notify the Recipient in writing via email of the termination that will set forth the reasons for the termination and the effective date of the termination. A Recipient may object and provide written information and documentation challenging the termination electronically via email to DHS within 30 days of receiving the termination notice. The termination notice may provide additional procedures for submitting an objection to the termination. 3. Termination with Consent. The regulation at 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a) provides that DHS may terminate the federal award in whole or in part with the consent of the Recipient. In that case, DHS will work with the Recipient to identify mutually agreed upon termination conditions including the effective date, and, in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated. DHS will provide to the Recipient for concurrence a draft termination notice setting forth the agreed upon termination conditions and, following the Recipient's written concurrence, DHS will issue the final termination notice. 4. Termination by Recipient. The regulation at 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a) provides that the Recipient may unilaterally terminate the federal award in whole or in part by sending DHS written notification setting forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and, in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated. However, if DHS determines in the case of partial termination that the reduced or modified portion of the federal award will not accomplish the purposes for which DHS made the federal award, DHS will provide written notice to the Recipient of the possibility that DHS will terminate the entire federal award and provide the Recipient with the opportunity to withdraw its partial termination request. If the Recipient does not withdraw its request for partial termination within 30 days of receiving the written notice, DHS will initiate procedures to terminate the entire federal award for cause following the procedures in paragraph I.B.2. 5. Costs Incurred After Termination. The regulation at 2 C.F.R. § 200.343 provides that the cost to the Recipient resulting from financial obligations incurred by the Recipient after termination are not allowable unless the federal awarding agency expressly authorizes them in the notice of termination or subsequently authorizes them. This general prohibition does not apply where costs result from financial obligations properly incurred by the Recipient before the termination and are not in anticipation of termination and those costs would otherwise be allowable if the federal award has expired normally at the end of the period of performance. The regulation at 2 C.F.R. § 200.472 sets forth the potentially allowable costs following termination. The allowability of these costs is the same for all types of terminations and do not vary whether DHS unilaterally terminates a federal award, DHS terminates a federal award with consent, or the Recipient unilaterally terminates the federal award. The Recipient should contact DHS in cases where it seeks authorization of costs incurred following the termination of a federal award. T. MONETARY DAMAGES Monetary damages are not available to the Recipient in the event of a breach of the grant or cooperative agreement by DHS, such that the United States Court of Federal Claims does not have jurisdiction to render judgment upon any claim against the United States arising under the grant or cooperative agreement under 28 U.S.C. § 1491(a). U. STANDARD OF REVIEW The scope of any judicial review for a DHS actions, fmdings, and conclusions under this cooperative agreement is limited to the standard of review under the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706.

Are costs reasonable, allowable, necessary and in line with the existing scope of work? Are there new costs that were previously unforeseen? 6 PART FIVE: APPLICATION REVIEW Continuation grant applications will be reviewed by the DHS Project and Grants Officers.

If DHS determines that an award will be made, special conditions that correspond to the degree of risk assessed may be applied to the award. In evaluating risks, DHS may consider the following: • Financial stability • Quality of management systems and ability to meet the management standards prescribed in applicable OMB Guidance • Applicant's record in managing previous DHS awards, cooperative agreements, or procurement awards, including: 1. Timeliness of compliance with applicable reporting requirements 2. Accuracy of data reported 3. Conformance to the terms and conditions of previous federal awards 4. If applicable, the extent to which any previously awarded amounts will be expended prior to future awards 5.
