Agreement — Supplemental Award with FY24 Funding
Implementation Date: September 20, 2024;
Expiration Date: September 30, 2024
The 28 National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System ("the System") task forces
have an opportunity to receive supplemental funding within their FY23 US&R Readiness
Cooperative Agreements.
This potential funding will continue to address the finding identified in the last Government
Accountability Office (GAO) Audit, which highlighted the System's need to develop a
comprehensive plan to prioritize and finance the replacement of equipment for the Urban Search
and Rescue (US&R) task forces. Further direction and instruction pertaining to the purchase of
specific equipment, along with corresponding specifications and quantities will be provided in
subsequent US&R Program Directives after the funding is received. The direction given will
address the funding received in this supplemental award.
Terms and Conditions: These supplemental funds may only be used for expenses incurred
on/after October I, 2023 (Le., they cannot be used to cover expenses incurred before the federal
FY24). These supplemental funds can be used for expenses incurred through the end of the FY23
award period of performance.
Since this action will need to be completed by the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2024), the
System needs to be prepared to receive the funding as soon as it Is available. To this end, all task
forces will need to initiate and submit a cost amendment request in FEMAGO no later than 5 pm
EDT, on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, for the supplemental to be awarded once the funding
is received.
REQUIRED ACTIONS
The issue is approved for FEMA National US&R Response System implementation.
All task forces are to submit a cost amendment request in FEMAGO to the FY23 award no later
than 5 pm EDT on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Because it is unclear as to the amount of

Required Use of American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and Construction
Materials Recipients must comply with the "Build America, Buy America" provisions of
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and E.O. 14005. Recipients of an award of
Federal financial assistance from a program for infrastructure are hereby notified that
none of the funds provided under this award may be used for a project for infrastructure
unless: (1) 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; (2) 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 (3) all construction
materials are manufactured in the United States —this means that all manufacturing
processes for the construction material occurred in the United States. 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. Waivers When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the agency
may grant, a waiver from these requirements. Information on the process for requesting a
waiver from these requirements is on the website below. (a) When the federal agency has
made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the awarding official
may waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference in any case in
which the agency determines that: (1) applying the domestic content procurement
preference would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) 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 (3) 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. 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.
There may be instances where an 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. The awarding Component may provide specific instructions
to Recipients of awards from infrastructure programs that are subject to the "Build
America, Buy America" provisions. Recipients should refer to the Notice of Funding
Opportunity for further information on the Buy America preference and waiver process.

Article 42 Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review DHS/FEMA
funded activities that may require an Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation
(EHP) review 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; National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended;
National Flood Insurance Program regulations; and any other applicable laws and
executive orders. General guidance for FEMA's EHP process is available on the
DHS/FEMA Website at: https://www.fema.govlgrants/guidance-tools/environmental-
historic. Specific applicant guidance on how to submit information for EHP review
depends on the individual grant program and applicants should contact their grant
Program Officer to be put into contact with EHP staff responsible for assisting their
specific grant program. The 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. 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/FEMA.
Article 43 Applicability of DHS Standard Terms and Conditions to Tribes 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 Indian tribes or there is a federal law or
regulation exempting its application to Indian tribes, then the acceptance by Tribes of, or
acquiescence to, DHS Standard Terms and Conditions does not change or alter its
inapplicability to an Indian tribe. The execution of grant documents is not intended to
change, alter, amend, or impose additional liability or responsibility upon the Tribe where
it does not already exist.
Article 44 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

original or replacement equipment acquired under this award by a non -state recipient or
non -state sub -recipients, when that equipment is no longer needed for the original project
or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding
agency, you must request instructions from FEMA to make proper disposition of the

Article 46 Prior Approval for Modification of Approved Budget Before making any change to
the FEMA approved budget for this award, you must request prior written approval from
FEMA where 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(f) regarding the transfer of funds among direct cost categories,
programs, functions, or activities. Therefore, for awards with an approved budget where
the federal share is greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000),
you may not transfer funds among direct cost categories, programs, functions, or
activities without prior written approval from FEMA where the cumulative amount of such
transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of the total budget FEMA
last approved. For purposes of awards that support both construction and non -
construction work, FEMA is utilizing its discretion under 2 G.F.R. section 200.308(h)(5) to
require the recipient to obtain prior written approval from FEMA before making any fund or
budget transfers between the two types of work. You must report any deviations from your
FEMA approved budget in the first Federal Financial Report (SF-425) you submit
following any budget deviation, regardless of whether the budget deviation requires prior
written approval.
Article 47 Indirect Cost Rate 2 C.F.R. section 200.211(b)(15) requires the terms of the award to
include the indirect cost rate for the federal award. If applicable, the indirect cost rale for
this award is stated in the budget documents or other materials approved by FEMA and
included in the award file.
Article 48 Program Income Per 2 CFR section 200.307, recipients are encouraged to earn income
to defray program costs where appropriate. Program income means gross income earned
by the recipient that is directly generated by a supported activity or earned as a result of
the Federal award during the period of performance except as provided in 2 CFR section
200.307 paragraph (f).Program income includes but is not limited to income from fees for
services performed, the use or rental of real or personal property acquired under Federal
awards, the sale of commodities or items fabricated under a Federal award, and principal
and interest on loans made with Federal award funds. Interest earned on advances of
Federal funds is not program income. Except as otherwise provided in Federal statutes,
regulations, or the terms and conditions of the Federal award, program income does not
include rebates, credits, discounts, and interest earned on any of them. When the
recipient earns program income under this cooperative agreement, this program income
must be added to the Federal award as described by 2 CFR section 200.307(e)(2)). The
program income must be used for the purposes and under the conditions of the Federal
award.
Article 49 Warehouse Leases Task force management is reminded you may only use cooperative
agreement funds to pay for warehouse leases for a twelve-month consecutive period
within the overall period of performance and that there is no guarantee of cooperative
agreement funding in future years. See Section VI, Cooperative Agreement Funding at
pages 3-4. Task forces may write contracts with an available fund's clause or option years
for protection.
Article 50
Article 51
Article 52
Article 53
Cooperative Agreement Program authority and responsibility under this cooperative
agreement resides with FEMA and the recipient, consistent with the terms of the award,
including the Notice of Funding Opportunity. FEMA will work with the recipient to review
and refine work plans to ensure program goals and objectives can be effectively
accomplished. The recipient and its subrecipients shall not develop or engage in the
development of tasks not approved in recipient's application without post -award approval
from the FEMA program office, and the issuance of a Grant Amendment from FEMA.
FEMA will monitor the project on a continual basis by maintaining ongoing contact with
the recipient and will provide input to the program's direction, in consultation with the
recipient, as needed.
Renovation and Modification Costs Except for minor renovations and modifications of
existing warehouse facilities that do not change the footprint of the structure, construction
and renovation costs are not allowed. Examples of permissible minor renovation and
modification costs include but are not limited to office!storage space build -out
reconfiguration, ceilings, loading docks/doors, lighting, HVAC, and security fencing. The
National US&R Branch approval is required for reimbursement of renovation and
modification costs. The purpose of allowing minor renovation and modification costs is to
ensure the equipment cache is maintained as required under the National Urban Search
and Rescue Response program. See 42 U.S.C. section 5165f(I)(2); 44 C.F.R. section
208.23(c](4).
Performance Goals The objective of the FY 2023 National Urban Search and Rescue
(US&R) Response System (the System) is to provide funding for 28 national task forces
staffed and equipped to assist State and local governments to conduct around -the- clock
search -and -rescue operations following a Presidentially declared major disaster or
emergency under the Stafford Act. FEMA will measure the effectiveness of the
Cooperative Agreement program by comparing the input of federal resources used to
sustain readiness of the System and local jurisdictions to respond and deploy to no -notice
and notice events within the timeframes specified for each particular category of incident
and locality upon having received a request from the Authority Having Jurisdiction. In
addition, FEMA will evaluate whether the recipient's activities provided for the
sustainment and readiness of the System and local jurisdiction in support of OHS Mission
5, Goal 5.1: Enhance National Readiness, which seeks to reduce the vulnerability of
individuals and families and mitigate risks to communities. In order to measure
performance, FEMA may request information throughout the period of performance and in
response to the recipient's final performance report submitted at closeout.
