Article 38
Required Use of American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and
Construction Materials
(1) Recipients of a federal award from a financial assistance program that provides
funding for infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under
this federal award may be used for a project for infrastructure unless: (a) all iron
and steel used in the project are produced in the United States —this means all
manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of
coatings, occurred in the United States; (b) all manufactured products used in the
project are produced in the United States —this means the manufactured product
was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the
manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United
States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the
manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum
amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established
under applicable law or regulation; and (c) all construction materials are
manufactured in the United States —this means that all manufacturing processes
for the construction material occurred in the United States. (2) The Buy America
preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in,
incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply
to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the
construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure
project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings,
such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at
or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the
structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project. (3) Waivers When
necessary, recipients may apply for, and the agency may grant, a waiver from
these requirements. The agency should notify the recipient for information on the
process for requesting a waiver from these requirements. (a) When the Federal
agency has determined that one of the following exceptions applies, the federal
awarding official may waive the application of the domestic content procurement
preference in any case in which the agency determines that: (i) applying the
domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public
interest; (ii) the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction
materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities or of a satisfactory quality; or (iii) the inclusion of iron, steel,
manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States
will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. (b) A request
to waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference must be in
writing. The agency will provide instructions on the format, contents, and
supporting materials required for any waiver request. Waiver requests are subject
to public comment periods of no less than 15 days and must be reviewed by the
Made in America Office. (c) There may be instances where a federal award
qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing waiver described at "Buy America"
Preference in FEMA Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure I FEMA.gov.

sending written notification to DHS stating the reasons for such termination, the
effective date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated.
However, if DHS determines that the remaining portion of the federal award will not
accomplish the purposes for which the federal award was made, DHS may
terminate the federal award in its entirety. (4) Notice. Either party will provide
written notice of intent to terminate for any reason to the other party no less than 30
calendar days prior to the effective date of the termination. (5) Compliance with
Closeout Requirements for Terminated Awards. The recipient must continue to

Article 49
Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review
DHS/FEMA funded activities that could have an impact on the environment are
subject to the FEMA EHP review process. This review does not address all federal,
state, and local requirements. Acceptance of federal funding requires the recipient
to comply with all federal, state, and local laws. DHS/FEMA is required to consider
the potential impacts to natural and cultural resources of all projects funded by
DHS/FEMA grant funds, through its EHP review process, as mandated by: the
National Environmental Policy Act; Endangered Species Act; National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966, as amended; Clean Water Act; Clean Air Act; National
Flood Insurance Program regulations; and any other applicable laws, regulations
and executive orders. General guidance for FEMA's EHP process is available on
the DHS/FEMA Website. Specific applicant guidance on how to submit information
for EHP review depends on the individual grant program. Applicants should contact
their grant Program Officer to be put into contact with EHP staff responsible for
assisting their specific grant program. The FEMA EHP review process must be
completed before funds are released to carry out the proposed project, otherwise,
DHS/FEMA may not be able to fund the project due to noncompliance with EHP
laws, executive orders, regulations, and policies. DHS/FEMA may also need to
perform a project closeout review to ensure the applicant complied with all required
EHP conditions identified in the initial review. If ground disturbing activities occur
during construction, the applicant will monitor the 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/FEMA. EO 11988, Floodplain Management, and EO 11990, Protection of
Wetlands, require that all federal actions in or affecting the floodplain or wetlands
be reviewed for opportunities to relocate, and be evaluated for social, economic,
historical, environmental, legal, and safety considerations. FEMA's regulations at
44 C.F.R. Part 9 implement the EOs and require an eight -step review process if a
proposed action is in a floodplain or wetland or has the potential to affect or be
affected by a floodplain or wetland. The regulation also requires that the federal
agency provide public notice of the proposed action at the earliest possible time to
provide the opportunity for public involvement in the decision -making process (44
C.F.R. § 9.8). Where there is no opportunity to relocate the federal action, FEMA is
required to undertake a detailed review to determine what measures can be taken
to minimize future damages to the floodplain or wetland.
Applicability of DHS Standard Terms and Conditions to Tribal Nations
The DHS Standard Terms and Conditions are a restatement of general
requirements imposed upon recipients and flow down to sub -recipients as a matter
of law, regulation, or executive order. If the requirement does not apply to Tribal
Nations, or there is a federal law or regulation exempting its application to Tribal
Nations, then the acceptance by Tribal Nations, or acquiescence to DHS Standard
Terms and Conditions does not change or alter its inapplicability to a Tribal Nation.
The execution of grant documents is not intended to change, alter, amend, or
impose additional liability or responsibility upon the Tribal Nations where it does not
already exist.
Article 50
Article 51
Article 52
Article 53
Acceptance of Post Award Changes
In the event FEMA determines that an error in the award package has been made,
or if an administrative change must be made to the award package, recipients will
be notified of the change in writing. Once the notification has been made, any
subsequent requests for funds will indicate recipient acceptance of the changes to
the award. Please email FEMA Grant Management Operations at: ASK-
GMD@fema.dhs.gov for any questions.
Disposition of Equipment Acquired Under the Federal Award
When original or replacement equipment acquired under this award is no longer
needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or
previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the non -state recipient or
subrecipient (including subrecipients of a State or Tribal Nation), must request
instructions from FEMA to make proper disposition of the equipment pursuant to 2
C.F.R. section 200.313(e). State recipients must follow the disposition
requirements in accordance with State laws and procedures. 2 C.F.R. section
200.313(b). Tribal Nations must follow the disposition requirements in accordance
with Tribal laws and procedures noted in 2 C.F.R. section 200.313(b); and if such
laws and procedures do not exist, then Tribal Nations must follow the disposition
instructions in 2 C.F.R. section 200.313(e).
Prior Approval for Modification of Approved Budget
Before making any change to the FEMA approved budget for this award, a written
request must be submitted and approved by FEMA as required by 2 C.F.R. section
200.308. For purposes of non -construction projects, FEMA is utilizing its discretion
to impose an additional restriction under 2 C.F.R. section 200.308(i) regarding the
transfer of funds among direct cost categories, programs, functions, or activities.
For awards with an approved budget where the federal share is greater than the
simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000) and where the cumulative
amount of such transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of
the total budget FEMA last approved, transferring funds among direct cost
categories, programs, functions, or activities is unallowable without prior written
approval from FEMA. For purposes of awards that support both construction and
non -construction work, 2 C.F.R. section 200.308((f)(9) requires the recipient to
obtain prior written approval from FEMA before making any fund or budget
transfers between the two types of work. Any deviations from a FEMA approved
budget must be reported in the first Federal Financial Report (SF-425) that is
submitted following any budget deviation, regardless of whether the budget
deviation requires prior written approval.
Indirect Cost Rate
2 C.F.R. section 200.211(b)(16) requires the terms of the award to include the
indirect cost rate for the federal award. If applicable, the indirect cost rate for the
award is stated in the budget documents or other materials approved by FEMA and
included in the award file.
Article 54 Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) Required Contract Provision &
Self -Certification
In addition to the DHS Standard Terms & Conditions regarding Required Use of
American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and Construction Materials,
recipients and subrecipients of FEMA financial assistance for programs that are
subject to BABAA must include a Buy America preference contract provision as
noted in 2 C.F.R. section 184.4 and a self -certification as required by the FEMA
Buy America Preference in FEMA Financial Assistance Programs for infrastructure
(FEMA interim Policy #207-22-0001). This requirement applies to all subawards,
contracts, and purchase orders for work performed, or products supplied under the
FEMA award subject to BABAA.
Award Performance Goals
FEMA will measure the recipient's performance of the grant by comparing the
number of items requested in its application, the numbers acquired (ordered, paid,
and received) within the period of performance. In order to measure performance,
FEMA may request information throughout the period of performance. In its final
performance report submitted at closeout, the recipient is required to report on the
recipients compliance with the applicable industry, local, state and national
standards described in the NOFO.

However, if FEMA or the pass -through entity determines that the remaining portion
of the federal award will not accomplish the purposes for which the federal award
was made, FEMA or the pass -through entity may terminate the federal award in its
entirety.
5. Impacts of Termination
a. When FEMA terminates the federal award prior to the end of the period of
performance due to the recipient's material failure to comply with the terms and
conditions of the federal award, FEMA will report the termination in SAM.gov in the
manner described at 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(c).
b. When the federal award is terminated in part or its entirety, FEMA or the pass -

Article 57
Payment Information (Updated)
Recipients will submit payment requests in FEMA GO for FY25 awards under this
program.
Instructions to Grant Recipients Pursuing Payments
FEMA reviews all grant payments and obligations to ensure allowability in
accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.305. These measures ensure funds are disbursed
appropriately while continuing to support and prioritize communities who rely on
FEMA for assistance. Once a recipient submits a payment request in FEMA GO,
FEMA will review the request. If FEMA approves a payment, it will process the
payment through FEMA GO and the payment will be delivered pursuant to the
recipients SAM.gov financial information. If FEMA disapproves a payment, FEMA
will inform the recipient.
Processing and Payment Timeline
FEMA must comply with regulations governing payments to grant recipients. See 2
C.F.R. § 200.305. For grant recipients other than States, 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(b)(3)
stipulates that FEMA is to make payments on a reimbursement basis within 30
days after receipt of the payment request, unless FEMA reasonably believes the
request to be improper. For state recipients, 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(a) instructs that
federal grant payments are governed by Treasury -State Cash Management
Improvement Act (CMIA) agreements ("Treasury -State agreement") and default
procedures codified at 31 C.F.R. part 205 and Treasury Financial Manual (TFM)
4A-2000, "Overall Disbursing Rules for All Federal Agencies." See 2 C.F.R. §
200.305(a).
Treasury -State agreements generally apply to "major federal assistance programs"
that are governed by 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart A and are identified in the
Treasury -State agreement. 31 C.F.R. §§ 205,2, 205.6. Where a federal assistance
(grant) program is not governed by subpart A, payment and funds transfers from
FEMA to the state are subject to 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart B. Subpart B requires
FEMA to "limit a funds transfer to a state to the minimum amounts needed by the
state and must time the disbursement to be in accord with the actual, immediate
cash requirements of the state in carrying out a federal assistance program or
project. The timing and amount of funds transfers must be as close as is
administratively feasible to a state's actual cash outlay for direct program costs and
the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs." 31 C.F.R. § 205.33(a).
Nearly all FEMA grants are not "major federal assistance programs." As a result,
payments to states for those grants are subject to the "default" rules of 31 C.F.R.
part 205, subpart B.
If additional information is needed, a request for information will be issued by
FEMA to the recipient; recipients are strongly encouraged to respond to any
additional FEMA request for information inquiries within three business days. If an
adequate response is not received, the request may be denied, and the entity may
need to submit a new reimbursement request; this will re -start the 30-day timeline.
Submission Process
All non -disaster grant program reimbursement requests must be reviewed and
approved by FEMA prior to drawdowns.
Article 58
For all non -disaster reimbursement requests (regardless of system), please ensure
submittal of the following information:
1. Grant ID / Award Number
2. Total amount requested for drawdown
3. Purpose of drawdown and timeframe covered (must be within the award
performance period)
4. Subrecipient Funding Details (if applicable).
• Is funding provided directly or indirectly to a subrecipient?
• If no, include statement "This grant funding is not being directed to a
subrecipient."
• If yes, provide the following details:
• The name, mission statement, and purpose of each subrecipient receiving funds,
along with the amount allocated and the specific role or activity being reimbursed.
• Whether the subrecipient's work or mission involves supporting aliens, regardless
of whether FEMA funds support such activities.
• Whether the payment request includes an activity involving support to aliens?
• Whether the subrecipient has any diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
5. Supporting documentation to demonstrate that expenses are allowable,
allocable, reasonable, and necessary under 2 G.F.R. Part 200 and in compliance
with the grant's NOFO, award terms, and applicable federal regulations.
