Term and Condition for Recipient 

Integrity and Performance Matters 

A. Reporting of Matters Related to Recipient 

Integrity and Performance 

1. General Reporting Requirement 

If the total value of your currently active 

grants, cooperative agreements, and 

procurement contracts from all Federal 

awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for 

any period of time during the period of 

performance of this Federal award, then you 

as the recipient during that period of time 

must maintain the currency of information 

reported to the System for Award 

Management (SAM) that is made available in 

the designated integrity and performance 

system (currently the Federal Awardee 

Performance and Integrity Information 

System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or 

administrative proceedings described in 

paragraph 2 of this award term and 

condition. This is a statutory requirement 

under section 872 of Public Law 110–417, as 

amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by 

section 3010 of Public Law 111–212, all 

information posted in the designated 

integrity and performance system on or after 

April 15, 2011, except past performance 

reviews required for Federal procurement 

contracts, will be publicly available. 

2. Proceedings About Which You Must 

Report 

Submit the information required about 

each proceeding that: 

a. Is in connection with the award or 

performance of a grant, cooperative 

agreement, or procurement contract from the 

Federal Government; 

b. Reached its final disposition during the 

most recent five year period; and 

c. Is one of the following: 

(1) A criminal proceeding that resulted in 

a conviction, as defined in paragraph 5 of 

this award term and condition;

finding of fault and liability and payment of 

a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement, 

restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more; 

(3) An administrative proceeding, as 

defined in paragraph 5. of this award term 

and condition, that resulted in a finding of 

fault and liability and your payment of either 

a monetary fine or penalty of $5,000 or more 

or reimbursement, restitution, or damages in 

excess of $100,000; or 

(4) Any other criminal, civil, or 

administrative proceeding if: 

(i) It could have led to an outcome 

described in paragraph 2.c.(1), (2), or (3) of 

this award term and condition; 

(ii) It had a different disposition arrived at 

by consent or compromise with an 

acknowledgment of fault on your part; and 

(iii) The requirement in this award term 

and condition to disclose information about 

the proceeding does not conflict with 

applicable laws and regulations. 

3. Reporting Procedures 

Enter in the SAM Entity Management area 

the information that SAM requires about 

each proceeding described in paragraph 2 of 

this award term and condition. You do not 

need to submit the information a second time 

under assistance awards that you received if 

you already provided the information 

through SAM because you were required to 

do so under Federal procurement contracts 

that you were awarded. 

4. Reporting Frequency 

During any period of time when you are 

subject to the requirement in paragraph 1 of 

this award term and condition, you must 

report proceedings information through SAM 

for the most recent five year period, either to 

report new information about any 

proceeding(s) that you have not reported 

previously or affirm that there is no new 

information to report. Recipients that have 

Federal contract, grant, and cooperative 

agreement awards with a cumulative total 

value greater than $10,000,000 must disclose 

semiannually any information about the 

criminal, civil, and administrative 

proceedings. 

5. Definitions 

For purposes of this award term and 

condition: 

a. Administrative proceeding means a nonjudicial process that is adjudicatory in nature 

in order to make a determination of fault or 

liability (e.g., Securities and Exchange 

Commission Administrative proceedings, 

Civilian Board of Contract Appeals 

proceedings, and Armed Services Board of 

Contract Appeals proceedings). This includes 

proceedings at the Federal and State level but 

only in connection with performance of a 

Federal contract or grant. It does not include 

audits, site visits, corrective plans, or 

inspection of deliverables. 

b. Conviction, for purposes of this award 

term and condition, means a judgment or 

conviction of a criminal offense by any court 

of competent jurisdiction, whether entered 

upon a verdict or a plea, and includes a 

conviction entered upon a plea of nolo 

contendere. 

c. Total value of currently active grants, 

cooperative agreements, and procurement 

contracts includes— 

(1) Only the Federal share of the funding 

under any Federal award with a recipient 

cost share or match; and 

(2) The value of all expected funding 

increments under a Federal award and 

options, even if not yet exercised.

controlled airspace at Independence 

Municipal Airport, KS. 

History 

On May 8, 2015, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a supplemental 

notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) 

to remove Class D airspace and Class E 

surface area airspace at Independence 

Municipal Airport, Independence, KS., 

(80 FR 26496). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. 

Class D and E airspace areas are 

published in Paragraph 5000 and 6002, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by 

removing Class D airspace and the 

associated Class E surface area airspace 

at Independence Municipal Airport, 

Independence, KS, as the air traffic 

control tower has closed and controlled 

airspace is no longer needed. 

Class D and E airspace areas are 

published in Paragraph 5000 and 6002, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E. ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
