SUBJECT: US&R Program Directive 2018-009a — (Revised) FY2017 US&R Readiness
Cooperative Agreement — Supplemental Award with FY2018 Funding
Implementation Date: September 6, 2018; Re -issue / Expiration Date: October 4, 2018
This revision changes the cooperative agreement to which the supplemental award will be applied.
Based on further discussion with the Grant Programs Directorate, the required actions below should
be applied to your 2017 cooperative agreement, not the 2018 cooperative agreement as previously
indicated.
To those that have already submitted the cost amendment request to their 2018 award, the Branch will
deny the request in your 2018 award and release it back to you. Once received, you need to withdraw
the cost amendment request from your 2018 award. You will need to re-create your cost amendment
request in your 2017 award. The NDGrants Help Desk can provide assistance if necessary.
The 28 National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System ("the System") task forces
have an opportunity to receive supplemental funding within their FY2017 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) taskforces. Specifically, this funding will allow the System to continue the
re -capitalization of the communications capability for individual task force equipment caches.
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 previous fiscal years'
supplemental award funding as well as the funding received in this supplemental award.
Since this action will need to be completed by the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2018), 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 NDGrants by Monday,
September 17, 2018 so the supplemental can be awarded when the funding is received.

funding (if any) that would be provided, each task force should leave the dollar amount blank and
this will be filled in once the dollar amount is known. In the "narrative" field, include the
following: "This funding will be used to continue the re -capitalization of communications
capability of the task force equipment cache. Communication equipment includes items such

direction will be provided by the US&R Branch"

interest on loans made with grant funds. Program Income does not include interest on grant funds, rebates, credits, discounts,
refunds, etc. and interest earned on any of them. When the grantee earns program income under this cooperative agreement,
this program income may be added to the funds committed to the grant agreement by the Federal agency and the grantee

cooperative agreement.
Article XXXIX - Acceptance of Post Award Changes
