C. Other Requirements of Recipients

1. Federal Policies and Procedures

If you receive Federal funding, you

are subject to all Federal laws and

Federal and Department of Commerce

policies, regulations, and procedures

applicable to financial assistance

awards. You must comply with general

provisions that apply to all recipients

under Department of Commerce grant

and cooperative agreement programs.

2. Name Check Review

You may be subject to a name check

review process. Name checks are used

to determine whether any of the key

individuals named in the application

has been convicted of, or are presently

facing, criminal charges, such as fraud,

theft, perjury, or other matters, that

significantly reflect on his or her

management skills, honesty, or financial

integrity.

3. Financial Management Certification/

Preaward Accounting Survey

You may, at the discretion of the

NOAA Grants Officer, be required to

have your financial management

systems certified by an independent

public accountant as being in

compliance with Federal standards

specified in the applicable OMB

Circulars prior to execution of the

award. If you are a first-time applicant

for Federal grant funds, you may be

subject to a pre-award accounting

survey by Commerce prior to execution

of the award.

4. Past Performance

An applicant’s unsatisfactory

performance under prior Federal awards

may result in the applicant’s proposal

not being considered for funding.

5. Delinquent Federal Debts

Federal funds will not be awarded to

you or to any sub-recipients who have

an outstanding delinquent Federal debt

or fine until:

a. The delinquent account is paid in

full,

b. A negotiated repayment schedule is

established and at least one payment is

received, or

c. Other arrangements satisfactory to

Commerce are made.

6. Buy American

You are encouraged to the extent

feasible to purchase American-made

equipment and products with the

funding provided under this program.

7. Pre-award Activities

If you incur any costs prior to

receiving an award agreement signed by

an authorized NOAA official, you do so

solely at your own risk of not being

reimbursed by the Government.

Notwithstanding any verbal or written

assurance that you may have received,

the Department of Commerce has no

obligation to cover pre-award costs.

8. False Statements

A false statement on the application is

grounds for denial or termination of

funds and grounds for possible

punishment by a fine or imprisonment

(18 U.S.C. 1001).
