before accepting your award. The Award Instrument includes the Award Offer(Award Information, Project

OVW funding the Award Offer also includes any Other Award Documents.
Please note that award requirements include not only the conditions and limitations set forth in the Award
Offer, but also compliance with assurances and certifications that relate to conduct during the period of
performance for the award. These requirements encompass financial, administrative, and programmatic
matters, as well as other important matters (e.g., specific restrictions on use of funds). Therefore, all key staff
should receive the award conditions, the assurances and certifications, and the application as approved
by OJP, so that they understand the award requirements. Information on all pertinent award requirements
also must be provided to any subrecipient of the award.
Should you accept the award and then fail to comply with an award requirement, DOJ will pursue appropriate

Prior to accepting the award, your Entity Administrator must assign a Financial Manager, Grant Award

authority to accept awards and bind the entity to the award terms and conditions. To accept the award, the
Authorized Representative(s) must accept all parts of the Award Offer in the Justice Grants System
(JustGrants), including by executing the required declaration and certification, within 45 days from the award

To access your funds, you will need to enroll in the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP)

Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial
assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office
on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in discrimination prohibited by law. Several
federal civil rights laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the
https://justgrants.usdoj.gov/prweb/PRAuth/app/JGITS J3y7.6Bxxi_lpDExT0T4XnAjzjAXmVNev\AMTABTHREAD2?pyActivity=PrintWork&Prompt=rats... 1/3
9/28/2022 Funded Award
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that
they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit recipients of federal
financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and employment because of race,
color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants authorized under the Violence Against
Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recipients are also prohibited from
discriminating in services because of age. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and
nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ awards, see
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm.
Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against
recipients from individuals, entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance
reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to
evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a
nondiscriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal-
opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice
system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1)
complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs (EEOPs); and (2)
submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP
requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information regarding requirements
when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§42.204(c), .205(c)(5).
The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are
associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your
organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at askOCR@ojp.usdoj.gov.

various "general provisions" in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, are set out at
https://www.ojp.gov/funding/Explore/FY22AppropriationsRestrictions.htm, and are incorporated by reference
here.
Should a question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient(or a subrecipient)
would or might fall within the scope of an appropriations-law restriction, the recipient is to contact OJP for
guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.
rQ12
Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements
The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, as
adopted and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R. Part 2800 (together, the "Part 200 Uniform Requirements")
apply to this FY 2022 award from OJP.
The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26, 2014. If this FY 2022
award supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number(e.g., funds awarded
during or before December 2014), the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under
that award number(regardless of the award date, and regardless of whether derived from the initial award
or a supplemental award)that are obligated on or after the acceptance date of this FY 2022 award.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards
and subawards ("subgrants"), see the OJP website at
https://ojp.gov/funding/Part2000niformRequirements.htm.
Record retention and access: Records pertinent to the award that the recipient (and any subrecipient
("subgrantee") at any tier) must retain --typically for a period of 3 years from the date of submission of the
final expenditure report (SF 425), unless a different retention period applies --and to which the recipient
(and any subrecipient ("subgrantee")at any tier) must provide access, include performance measurement
information, in addition to the financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and other
pertinent records indicated at 2 C.F.R. 200.334.

by OJP that may appear to conflict with, or differ in some way from, the provisions of the Part 200 Uniform
Requirements, the recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.
n3
Requirement to report actual or imminent breach of personally identifiable information (PII)
The recipient (and any "subrecipient"at any tier)must have written procedures in place to respond in the
event of an actual or imminent"breach" (OMB M-17-12) if it (or a subrecipient)-- (1)creates, collects, uses,
processes, stores, maintains, disseminates, discloses,or disposes of"Personally Identifiable Information
(PII)" (2 CFR 200.1)within the scope of an OJP grant-funded program or activity, or (2) uses or operates a
"Federal information system" (OMB Circular A-130). The recipient's breach procedures must include a
requirement to report actual or imminent breach of PII to an OJP Program Manager no later than 24 hours
after an occurrence of an actual breach, or the detection of an imminent breach.
OJP Training Guiding Principles
Any training or training materials that the recipient-- or any subrecipient("subgrantee")at any tier--
develops or delivers with OJP award funds must adhere to the OJP Training Guiding Principles for Grantees
and Subgrantees, available at https://www.ojp.gov/funding/implement/training-guiding-principles-grantees-
and-subgrantees.

an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 days after the date of the
recipient's acceptance of the award. Successful completion of such a training on or after October 15, 2020,
will satisfy this condition.
In the event that either the Grant Award Administrator or a Financial Manager for this award changes during
the period of performance, the new Grant Award Administrator or Financial Manager must have successfully
completed an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 calendar days after the
date the Entity Administrator enters updated Grant Award Administrator or Financial Manager information in
JustGrants. Successful completion of such a training on or after January 1, 2020, will satisfy this condition.
A list of OJP trainings that OJP will consider"OJP financial management and grant administration training"
for purposes of this condition is available at https://www.ojp.gov/traininglfmts.htm. All trainings that satisfy
this condition include a session on grant fraud prevention and detection.
The recipient should anticipate that OJP will immediately withhold ("freeze") award funds if the recipient fails
to comply with this condition. The recipient's failure to comply also may lead OJP to impose additional
appropriate conditions on this award.
`mss
Effect of failure to address audit issues
The recipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency(OJP or OVW, as appropriate) may
withhold award funds, or may impose other related requirements, if(as determined by the DOJ awarding
agency)the recipient does not satisfactorily and promptly address outstanding issues from audits required
by the Part 200 Uniform Requirements (or by the terms of this award), or other outstanding issues that arise
in connection with audits, investigations, or reviews of DOJ awards.

Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or
certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of
performance also is a material requirement of this award.
Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") may determine
that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award.
Any such exceptions regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of
performance, are (or will be during the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs
("OJP")webpage entitled "Legal Notices: Special circumstances as to particular award conditions"
(ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and incorporated by reference into the award.
By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all
material requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized
recipient official, all assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to
conduct during the period of performance.
Failure to comply with one or more award requirements --whether a condition set out in full below, a
condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the
award period -- may result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award.
Among other things, the OJP may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award.
DOJ, including OJP, also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or
concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18
U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties
and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-
3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that
provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by
law. Should it be held, instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or-unenforceable, such provision shall be
deemed severable from this award.

Reclassification of various statutory provisions to a new Title 34 of the United States Code
On September 1, 2017, various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in the U.S. Code were
editorially reclassified (that is, moved and renumbered)to a new Title 34, entitled "Crime Control and Law
Enforcement."The reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards
(that is, OJP grants and cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42
of the U.S. Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has
been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision
as reclassified to Title 34. This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award

The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements
for authorization of any subaward. This condition applies to agreements that--for purposes of federal grants
administrative requirements --OJP considers a "subaward" (and therefore does not consider a procurement
"contract").
The details of the requirement for authorization of any subaward are posted on the OJP web site at

such as renewing, extending, or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this
law apply, including an exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or subrecipient)
would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and
may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.
