American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Integrity Grant
Special Conditions of Award
Grant Number: 23A60UB000048-01-00
Recipient: Maryland Department of Labor
The application requesting FY 2023 ARPA Integrity Grant funding, received on July 14, 2023 is
conditionally approved for $2,609,000, with access to funding restricted until a Full Project Plan
is submitted and approved. As a condition of this grant award, the recipient must submit an
amendment to the appropriate ETA Regional Office, and the assigned Federal Project Officer
(FPO), consisting of the Full Project Plan, within 60 calendar days upon receipt of this Notice of
Award (NOA). The amendment must incorporate all information requested below. Questions
pertaining to the submission of the Full Project Plan responding to these Conditions of Award
must be directed to the FPO as soon as possible.
Please review the attached Federal Award Terms, including the Program Requirements for the
ARPA Integrity Grant funding.
The submission of the required documents does not constitute approval by the Department. Upon
receipt of the Full Project Plan, the Department will review and work with the state to approve
the proposal. Once approved by the Grant Officer, the Full Project Plan will be an official
amendment to the initial NOA, and the conditions of the award that previously restricted funding
access will be resolved.
Conditions of Award
The Full Project Plan package must include:
• A copy of the completed SF-424 from the Initial Application;
• A completed SF-424A;
• A completed Budget Narrative (as described in Attachment XII to UIPL No. 11-23)
• If indirect cost is indicated on the SF-424A, then a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate
Agreement (NICRA) or Cost Allocation Plan (CAP);
• A completed Full Project Plan Template (as described in Attachment II to UIPL No. 11-23).
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 6 of 39
NOTICE REGARDING INDIRECT COSTS INCLUDED IN THE SUBMISSION OF THE
FULL PROJECT PLAN:
Indirect Costs charged to the grant must be supported by a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate
Agreement (NICRA) or Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) approved by your Federal Cognizant
Agency. It is important that grantees have documentation to justify the utilization of indirect
costs for the whole period of performance upon completion of the grant. The failure to have this
documentation will cause the closeout of the grant to be delayed and potentially have indirect
costs disallowed. Please submit all NICRAs and CAPs to the FPO as they are approved by your
Federal Cognizant Agency.

Part A: General Award, System for Award Management and Uniform
Guidance
A(1.) Compliance and the Order of Precedence
The recipient of this Federal award must assure to fully comply with the rules and
requirements specified in the award document. Program requirements may be located in
the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), statutes, Executive Orders, government-
wide regulations, agency regulations, agency policy guidance such as Unemployment
Insurance Program Letter (UIPL), and the terms outlined in the award document. The list
below identifies the hierarchy of authority.
The following order of precedence applies to your activities under this Federal award. In
the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Notice of Award
(NOA) and other requirements, consult the below order:
1. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Section 2118(a).
2. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), 2021 (Public Law 117-2), Section 9032.
3. Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA), 2023 (Public Law 118-5).
4. Other applicable Federal statutes.
5. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328) dated December
29, 2022.
6. Implementing Regulations.
7. Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda.
8. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance, including the Uniform
Guidance at 2 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) parts 200 and 2900.
9. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) directives.
10. Terms and conditions of this award.
By drawing down funds, your organization as the award recipient agrees to the provisions
of 2 CFR 200.521, 2 CFR 2900.20, and 2 CFR 2900.21 and is subject to having its award
removed as a result of an ALJ decision. As part of this process, the Grant Officer will
provide instructions on transition and closeout to both the newly selected grant recipient
and to the grant recipient whose positions is affected, or which is being removed.
A(2.) Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL)
The Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) No. 11-23 and any amendments
found at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/advisories/uipl-11-23, are hereby incorporated
into this NOA. Award recipients are bound by the authorizations, restrictions, and
requirements contained in the FOA. Therefore, the expenditure of funds by the award
recipient certifies that your organization has read and will comply with all the parts that
are contained in the NOA.

Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 11 of 39
Notice of Award The funds provided under this Notice of Award (NOA) must be
expended according to all applicable Federal statutes, regulations and policies, and the
applicable provisions in the appropriations act(s). The funds shall be obligated and
expended via a NOA. These obligations and expenditures may not exceed the amount
awarded by the NOA unless otherwise amended by the ETA.
A(3.) SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance, and SF-424B, Assurances and Certifications
The signed SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance, has been included as an
attachment to this award. The individual that signed the SF-424 on behalf of the applicant
is considered the Authorized Representative of the applicant. As stated in block 21 of the
SF-424 form, the signature of the Authorized Representative on the SF-424 certifies that
the award recipient is in compliance with the Assurances and Certifications form SF-
424B available at Grants.gov. The award recipient does not need to submit the SF-424B
form separately.
A(4.) Federal Project Officer
The DOL/ETA Federal Project Officer (FPO) for this award is identified on the Notice of
Award (NOA), Federal Agency Information, 10. Program Official Contact Information.
The FPO named on the NOA is not authorized to change any of the terms or conditions
of the award or approve prior approval requests. Any changes to the terms or conditions
or prior approvals must be approved by the Grant Officer through the use of a formally
executed award amendment process.
A(5.) System for Award Management
System for Award Management (SAM) is the official Federal system that collects,
validates, stores, and disseminates business information about the Federal government's
trading partners in support of contract awards, grants, and electronic payment processes.
A SAM registration is required for an entity to be able to apply for Federal awards, to
request amendments to existing awards, and to enable them to closeout expiring awards.
See Training and Employment Notice (TEN) 18-17 for additional guidance.
Unless the award recipient is exempt from this requirement under 2 CFR 25.110, the
grant award or cooperative agreement recipient must maintain current information in the
SAM. This includes information on the recipient’s immediate and highest-level owner
and subsidiaries, as well as on all of the recipient’s predecessors that have been awarded
a Federal contract or Federal financial assistance within the last three years, if applicable,
until the award recipient submits the final financial report required under this Federal
award or receive the final payment, whichever is later.
DOL advises award recipients and other awardees of Federal awards such as cooperative
agreements registered in SAM to review their registration information, particularly their
financial information and points of contact. Assistance is available by contacting the
5
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 12 of 39
Federal Service Desk at FSD.gov. Grant award or cooperative agreement recipients
should contact ETA at ETAAccountingGrants@dol.gov if they find that payments have
been paid to a bank account other than their registered bank account.
DOL routinely checks the validity of a grant award or cooperative agreement recipient’s
SAM registration and verifies that the recipient is not included on the excluded parties list
before making an award or approving a modification to an existing award. Failure to have
an active SAM registration can delay award recipients from receiving their initial award
or requested modifications to their existing awards.
DOL further encourages award recipients to review the expiration date of their SAM
registration and begin the renewal process well in advance, to ensure that their
registration remains valid. If the award recipient has not logged in and updated its entity
registration record within at least the past 365 days, its record will expire and go into
inactive status. Timely renewal will ensure that the award recipient can continue to
request and receive modifications to their existing grants, as well as apply for new
funding opportunities. Further, the EIN number must remain active until the award
closeout process is fully completed.
A(6.) Unique Entity Identifier Requirements
Effective on April 4, 2022, the DUNS Number was replaced by a new, non-proprietary
identifier requested in and assigned by SAM.gov. This new identifier is called the Unique
Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity ID. To learn more about how to access your UEI,
please visit the U.S. General Service Administration (GSA), Unique Entity Identifier
Update webpage.
If the grant award or cooperative agreement recipient is authorized to make subawards
(see definition below in Section A (10.)) under this award, then the recipient:
1. Must notify potential subrecipients that no entity may receive a subaward from
the award recipient until the entity has provided its UEI to the recipient.
2. May not make a subaward to an entity unless the entity has provided its UEI to
the grant award or cooperative agreement recipient. Subrecipients are not required
to obtain an active SAM registration but must obtain a UEI.
A(7.) Uniform Guidance Revisions
The Office of Management and Budget issued revisions to 2 CFR parts 25, 170, 183, and
200 (the Uniform Guidance) on August 13, 2020, and February 22, 2021 (technical
correction). These revisions became effective November 12, 2020, except for the
amendments to 2 CFR 200.216 and 200.340, which were immediately effective on
August 13, 2020. The award recipient must operate in compliance with these revised
regulations. Please note that the section numbering in the Uniform Guidance has
changed in some instances, and this terms and conditions document has been updated
accordingly.
6
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 13 of 39
A(8.) Subawards
A subaward means an award provided by a Pass-Through Entity (PTE) to a subrecipient
for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the PTE. It does not
include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a
Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement,
including an agreement that the PTE considers a contract.
The provisions of the Terms and Conditions of this award will be applied to any
subrecipient under this award. The recipient is responsible for monitoring the
subrecipient, ensuring that the Terms and Conditions are in all subaward packages and
that the subrecipient complies with all applicable regulations and the Terms and
Conditions of this award (2 CFR 200.101(b)).
A(9.) Vendor/Contractor Defined
The term “contractor,” sometimes referred to as a vendor, is a dealer, distributor,
merchant or other seller providing goods or services that are required to implement a
Federal program (see 2 CFR 200.1). These goods or services may be for an organization's
own use or for the use of the beneficiaries of the Federal program. Additional guidance
on distinguishing between a subrecipient and a contractor (vendor) is provided in 2 CFR
200.331. When procuring contractors for goods and services, DOL/ETA recipients and
subrecipients must follow the procurement requirements found at 2 CFR 200.320 (except
states, pursuant to 2 CFR 200.317), which calls for free and open competition.
A(10.) Technical Assistance, Resources, and Information
Additional resources, training, and information to assist the award recipient are located
on the ETA website, Resources webpage and on the Grants Application and Management
collection page on WorkforceGPS.org. SMART training is a technical assistance
initiative sponsored by DOL/ETA to assist its award recipients and subrecipients in
improving its program/project operations through effective grants management. Please
take some time to review the training modules which are focused on:
Strategies for sound grant management that include:
Monitoring,
Accountability,
Risk mitigation and
Transparency.
These four themes are woven throughout the OMB Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, also known
as the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200 and 2 CFR Part 2900). The 508-compliant
PowerPoints of the modules may be found on WorkforceGPS.org at the Resource page.

Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 14 of 39
A(11.) Monitoring, Technical Assistance, and Additional Specific Conditions of Award
All award recipients, including states and territories managing the Unemployment
Insurance programs, are subject to 2 CFR 200.208, Specific conditions, which indicates
that the Federal awarding agency may adjust specific award conditions as needed. A
specific condition is based on an analysis of the following factors:
1. Based on the criteria in §200.206, Federal awarding agency review of risk posed
by applicants;
2. The applicant or recipient's history of compliance with the general or specific
terms and conditions of a Federal award;
3. The applicant or recipient's ability to meet expected performance goals as
described in 2 CFR 200.211; or
4. A responsibility determination of an applicant or recipient.
Additional Federal award conditions may include items such as the following:
1. Requiring payments as reimbursements rather than advance payments;
2. Withholding authority to proceed to the next phase until receipt of evidence of
acceptable performance within a given performance period;
3. Requiring additional, more detailed financial reports;
4. Requiring additional project monitoring;
5. Requiring the non-Federal entity to obtain technical or management assistance; or
6. Establishing additional prior approvals.
Award recipients may be required to obtain technical or management assistance through
an established provider/contractor that has been selected or hired by DOL/ETA that may
include in-person or remote assistance.
A(12.) Evaluation, Data, and Implementation
Award recipients must cooperate during the implementation of a third-party evaluation.
This means providing DOL/ETA or its authorized contractor with the appropriate data
and access to program operating personnel and participants in a timely manner.
A(13.) Program Requirements
UIPL No. 11-23 contains the program requirements for this award.

Part B: Indirect Costs, Budget, and Cost Share (Match)
B(1.) Indirect Cost Rate – Financial Reporting for NICRA and De Minimis
All award recipients with an approved NICRA or de minimis rate must report indirect
costs on their FINAL ETA-9130 Financial Report. If an award recipient has a NICRA
and a CAP, only the indirect costs tied to the NICRA are reported on the FINAL ETA-
9130 Financial Report. The grant recipient may refer to the ETA-9130 Report for
additional guidance.
B(2.) Budget - Approved
The award recipient’s budget documents are attached in this NOA. The documents are: 1)
the SF-424, included as Attachment A. The award recipient must confirm that all costs
are allowable, reasonable, necessary, and allocable before charging any expense.
Pursuant to 2 CFR 2900.1, the approval of the budget as awarded does not constitute
prior approval of those items specified in 2 CFR part 200 and 2 CFR part 2900 or as a
part of the grant award as requiring prior approval. The Grant Officer is the only official
with the authority to provide such approval.
Any changes to the budget that impact the Statement of Work (SOW) and agreed upon
outcomes or deliverables will require a request for modification and prior approval from
the Grant Officer.
If the period of performance will include multiple budget periods, subsequent budget
periods are subject to the availability of funds, program authority, satisfactory
performance, and compliance terms and conditions of the Federal award.
Unless otherwise authorized in a grant award or cooperative agreement or subsequent
modification, recipients must expend funds with the shortest period of availability first
(20 CFR 683.110).
B(3.) Budget Flexibility
Award recipients are not permitted to make transfers that would cause any funds to be
used for purposes other than those consistent with this Federal program. Any budget
changes that impact the SOW and agreed upon outcomes or deliverables require a request
for modification and approval from the Grant Officer.
Any request for a budget modification or non-competing extension of the final budget
should be submitted to the Grant Officer, in writing, at least 30 days before the Period of
Performance is scheduled to expire. Such requests usually are for a period of up to 12
months.

Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 16 of 39
As directed in 2 CFR 200.308(f), for programs where the Federal share is over the
Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) (currently $250,000), the transfer of funds
among direct cost categories or programs, functions, and activities is restricted such that
if the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed 10% of the
total budget as last approved by the Federal awarding agency, the award recipient must
receive prior approval from the Grant Officer. Any changes within a specific cost
category on the SF-424A do not require a grant modification unless the change results in
a cumulative transfer among direct cost categories exceeding 10% of total budget. It is
recommended that the assigned Federal Project Officer or point of contact review any
within-line changes to the award recipient’s budget prior to implementation to ensure
they do not require a modification.
For programs where the Federal share of the project is below the SAT of $250,000,
recipients are not required to obtain the Grant Officer’s approval when transferring funds
among direct cost categories.
B(4.) Non-Federal Cost Sharing or Matching )
This award does not include a cost sharing or matching requirement.
Part C: Funds Management
C(1.) Funds – Payment Management System (PMS)
Upon receipt of a NOA, in order to draw funds from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) Payment Management System (PMS), an active account must be
established. To establish an account, award recipients must complete an SF-1199A and
PMS Access form (shown as the PMS New User Access Request on the PMS website)
(User Access). DOL is responsible for completing portions of the SF-1199A and
submitting the completed SF-1199A to the Division of Payment Management, which
operates PMS. Federal award recipients do not need to complete these forms if they
already have an account with PMS.
C(2.) Funds - Return & Refunds
DOL does not accept paper checks for any type of returned funds. For active grants, all
return of funds are to be submitted electronically through the PMS operated by the HHS
via the same method as a drawdown. For grants that have been cancelled or are expired
(typically older than five years), incoming payments, including returns and recoveries to
DOL, must be made via the Pay.gov website.
If there are questions regarding the return of funds, or your organization no longer has
access to PMS, contact the DOL/ETA, Office of Financial Administration via email at:
ETA-ARteam@dol.gov for further assistance.

Part D: Costs - Limitations, Items, and Restrictions
D(1.) Consultants
For the purposes of this grant award, the Grant Officer has determined that fees paid to a
consultant who provides services under a program shall be limited to $815.00 a day
(representing an eight-hour workday). Such costs must be reasonable, allocable, and
allowable to the program. Any fees paid in excess of this amount cannot be paid without
prior approval from the Grant Officer.
D(2.) Equipment
The award recipient(s) must submit a request to purchase equipment and receive prior
approval from the Grant Officer as defined in the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.1. A
request to purchase equipment will be reviewed and approved in a modification to the
award. Prior approval is required only when the per unit’s acquisition cost is $5,000 or
more regardless of the non-Federal entity’s capitalization threshold. Equipment purchases
must be made in accordance with 2 CFR 200.313 or 2 CFR 200.439.
Being awarded this grant does not automatically mean that the equipment specified in the
approved budget or SOW is approved by the Grant Officer. The recipient must submit a
detailed list describing the planned purchases to the FPO for review within 90 days of the
NOA date. Recipients are strongly encouraged to submit requests to purchase equipment
as early as possible in the grant’s period of performance with as many planned pieces of
equipment as possible.
Recipients may not purchase equipment during the last year of the period of performance
or the last year of full program service delivery (not follow-up activities), whichever
comes first. If any approved acquisition has not occurred prior to the last funded year of
performance, approval for that item will be rescinded.
D(3.) Pre-Award Costs
All costs incurred by the award recipient prior to the start date specified in the grant
award issued by the Department are incurred at the recipient’s own expense.
D(4.) Program Income
The “Addition” method as described in 2 CFR 200.307 must be used in allocating any
program income generated for this awards award. The award recipient must expend all
program income prior to drawing down any additional funds as required at 2 CFR
200.305(b)(5) and 2 CFR 200.307(e). The DOL will require any program income
remaining at the end of period of performance to be returned to DOL. In addition, award
recipient(s) must report program income on the quarterly financial report using the
applicable ETA-9130 or SF-425 reports.

Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 18 of 39
D(5.) Supportive Services & Participant Support Costs
When supportive services are expressly authorized by a program statute, regulation, or
FOA, this award waives the prior approval requirement for participant support costs as
described in 2 CFR 200.456. Costs must still meet the basic considerations at 2 CFR
200.402 – 200.411. Questions regarding supportive services and participant support costs
should be directed to the FPO who is assigned to the award.
D(6.) Travel
This award waives the prior approval requirement for domestic travel as contained in 2
CFR 200.475. For domestic travel to be an allowable cost, it must be necessary,
allowable, reasonable, allocable and conform to the non-Federal entity’s written policies
and procedures. All travel must also comply with Fly America Act (49 USC 40118),
which states in part that any air transportation, regardless of price, must be performed by,
or under a code-sharing arrangement with, a U.S. Flag air carrier if service provided by
such carrier is available.
D(7.) Travel – Foreign
Foreign travel is not allowable except with prior written approval from the Grant Officer
through the process described in 2 CFR 200.407 and 2 CFR 2900.16. All travel, both
domestic and Grant Officer approved foreign travel, must comply with the Fly America
Act (49 USC 40118), which states in part that any air transportation, regardless of price,
must be performed by, or under a code-sharing arrangement with, a U.S. Flag air carrier
if service provided by such carrier is available.
Travel – Mileage Reimbursement Rates
Pursuant to 2 CFR 200.475(a), all award recipients must have policies and procedures in
place related to travel costs; however, for reimbursement on a mileage basis, this Federal
grant award cannot be charged more than the maximum allowable mileage
reimbursement rates for Federal employees. Mileage rates must be checked annually at
GSA’s Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates webpage to
ensure compliance.
D(8.) Conferences and Conference Space
Conferences sponsored in whole or in part by the award recipient are allowable if the
conference is necessary and reasonable for the successful performance of the Federal
award. Award recipients are urged to use discretion and good judgment to ensure that all
conference costs charged to the grant are appropriate and allowable. For more
information on the requirements and the allowability of costs associated with
conferences, refer to 2 CFR 200.432. Recipients will be held accountable to the
requirements in 2 CFR 200.432. Therefore, costs that do not comply with 2 CFR 200.432
will be questioned and may be disallowed.

Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 19 of 39
D(9.) Hotel-Motel Fire Safety
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 2225a, the recipient must ensure that all space for conferences and
conventions or training seminars funded in whole or in part with Federal funds complies
with the protection and control guidelines of the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act (P.L.
101-391, as amended). Recipients may search the Hotel-Motel National Master List to
see if a property is in compliance, or to find other information about the Act.

E(4.) Integrity and Performance Matters – FAPIIS
1) If the total value of the 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 the award 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.

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 5-year period; and

liability and paying a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement,
restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more;
15
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 22 of 39
III. An administrative proceeding, as defined in Paragraph 5. of
this award term, that resulted in a finding of fault and liability
and grant recipient payment of either monetary fine or penalty
of $5,000 or more or a reimbursement, restitution, or damages
in excess of $100,000; or
IV. Any other criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding if:
a. It could have led to an outcome described in Paragraph
2.c.I, II, or III of this award term;
b. It had a different disposition arrived at by consent or
compromise with an acknowledgment of fault on the grant
recipient’s part; and
c. The requirement in this award term to disclose information
about the proceeding does not conflict with applicable laws
and regulations.
3) Reporting procedures. Enter in SAM, Entity Management area (formerly CCR),
or any successor system, the FAPIIS information that SAM requires about each
proceeding described in Paragraph 2 of this award term. The award recipient does
not need to submit the information a second time under assistance awards that
were received if the recipient already provided the information through SAM
(formerly CCR) because the recipient was required to do so under Federal
procurement contracts that the recipient was awarded.
4) Reporting frequency. During any period of time when the award recipient is
subject to the requirement in Paragraph 1 of this award term, the award recipient
must report FAPIIS information through SAM no less frequently than

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. It does not include audits, site visits,
corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables.
b. Conviction, for purposes of this award term, 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 —
16
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 23 of 39
I. Only the Federal share of the funding under any award with a
recipient cost share or match; and
II. The value of all options, even if not yet exercised.
E(5.) Audits
Organization-wide or program-specific audits must be performed in accordance with
Subpart F, the Audit Requirements of the Uniform Guidance. DOL award recipients that
expend $750,000 or more in a year from any Federal awards must have an audit
conducted for that year in accordance with the requirements contained in 2 CFR 200.501.
OMB’s approved DOL exception at 2 CFR 2900.2 expands the definition of ‘non-Federal
entity’ to include for-profit entities and foreign entities. As such, for-profit and foreign
entities that are recipients/subrecipients of a DOL award must adhere to the Uniform
Guidance at 2 CFR 200, including Subpart F. Audits of direct award recipients that are
for-profit and foreign entities must be submitted directly to: USDOL ETA-OGM, Attn:
Audit Resolution, 200 Constitution Ave NW, Room N-4716, Washington, DC 20210.
All other audit reports are submitted through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.
The Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) will transition from the U.S. Census Bureau
(Census) to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on October 1, 2023. At that
time, all submissions will need to be made through the new FAC hosted by GSA. Any
draft not fully submitted to the Census FAC by October 1, 2023, may need to be
completely re-started at the new GSA FAC.
E(6.) Audit Submission Deadline Extension Related to Major Disaster Areas
OMB announced on the FAC website that a six-month single audit submission extension
is available to non-federal entity recipients in Puerto Rico, Alaska, Florida, South
Carolina, and North Carolina that have due dates between September 18, 2022, and
December 31, 2022. Although the extension is due to complications created by various
weather-related events, the extension is available to all recipients in each of the states and
not just those located in certain areas of the states most significantly impacted. OMB
encourages recipients in less affected areas to submit their reports as soon as possible.
E(7.) Closeout/Final Year Requirements
At the end of the grant period, the award recipient will be required to close the grant with
the DOL. The grant award and cooperative agreement recipient will be notified
approximately 15 days prior to the end of the period of performance that the closeout
process will begin when the period of performance ends. See ETA’s Grant Closeout
webpage for further information on the closeout process. The recipient’s responsibilities
at closeout may be found at 2 CFR 200.344. During the closeout process, the award
recipient must be able to provide documentation for all direct and indirect costs that are
incurred. For instance, if an organization is claiming indirect costs, the required
documentation is a NICRA or CAP issued by the award recipient’s FCA. For those
approved to utilize a de minimis rate for indirect costs, the grant agreement or
17
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 24 of 39
cooperative agreement is sufficient documentation. Not having documentation for direct
or indirect costs will result in costs being disallowed and subject to debt collection.
The only liquidation that can occur during closeout is the liquidation of accrued
expenditures (NOT obligations) for goods and/or services received during the period of
performance specified in this award (see 2 CFR 2900.15).
Part F: National Policy and Restrictions
F(1.) Architectural Barriers
The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4151 et seq., as amended, the Federal
Property Management Regulations (see 41 CFR 102-76), and the Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards issued by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) (see
36 CFR 1191, Appendixes C and D) set forth requirements to make facilities accessible
to, and usable by, the physically handicapped and include minimum design standards. All
new facilities designed or constructed with grant support must comply with these
requirements.
F(2.) Domestic Preferences for Procurements
As appropriate and to the extent consistent with law, the non-Federal entity should, to the
greatest extent practicable under a Federal award, provide a preference for the purchase,
acquisition, or use of goods, products, or materials produced in the United States
(including but not limited to iron, aluminum, steel, cement, and other manufactured
products). The requirements of 2 CFR 200.322 must be included in all subawards
including all contracts and purchase orders for work or products under this award.
F(3.) Drug-Free Workplace
The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, 41 U.S.C. 702 et seq., and 2 CFR 182 require
that all award recipients receiving awards from any Federal agency maintain a drug-free
workplace. The award recipient must notify the awarding office if an employee of the
recipient is convicted of violating a criminal drug statute. Failure to comply with these
requirements may be cause for suspension or debarment.
F(4.) Flood Insurance
The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., provides
that no Federal financial assistance to acquire, modernize, or construct property may be
provided in communities in the United States identified as flood-prone, unless the
community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and flood insurance is
purchased within 1 year of the identification. The flood insurance purchase requirement
applies to both public and private applicants for the DOL support. Lists of flood-prone
areas that are eligible for flood insurance are published in the Federal Register by Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
18
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 25 of 39
F(5.) Intellectual Property Rights
The Federal Government reserves a paid-up, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to
reproduce, publish or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use for Federal purposes:
the copyright in all products developed under the grant, including a subgrant or contract
under the grant or subgrant; and any rights of copyright to which the award recipient,
subrecipient or a contractor purchases ownership under an award (including but not
limited to curricula, training models, technical assistance products, and any related
materials). Such uses include, but are not limited to, the right to modify and distribute
such products worldwide by any means, electronically or otherwise.
Federal funds may not be used to pay any royalty or license fee for use of a copyrighted
work, or the cost of acquiring by purchase a copyright in a work, where the DOL has a
license or rights of free use in such work, although they may be used to pay costs for
obtaining a copy which is limited to the developer/seller costs of copying and shipping.
If revenues are generated by selling products developed with grant funds, including
intellectual property, these revenues are considered as program income. Program income
must be used in accordance with the provisions of this grant award and 2 CFR 200.307.
The following language must be on all workforce products developed in whole or in part
with grant funds:
“This workforce product was funded by a grant awarded by the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL)’s Employment and Training Administration.
The product was created by the recipient and does not necessarily reflect
the official position of DOL. DOL makes no guarantees, warranties, or
assurances of any kind, express or implied, with respect to such
information, including any information on linked sites and including, but
not limited to, accuracy of the information or its completeness, timeliness,
usefulness, adequacy, continued availability, or ownership. This product is
copyrighted by the institution that created it.”
F(6.) Promoting Equitable Delivery of Government Benefits and Equal Opportunity
The Department of Labor (Labor) seeks to affirmatively advance equity, civil rights and
equal opportunity in the policies, programs, and services it provides. Therefore,
consistent with Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, grant award and
cooperative agreement recipients must execute the terms and conditions of their award in
a manner that advances equity for all, including people of color and others who have been
historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and
inequality. This extends to all award activities including, but not limited to, service
delivery, selection of subrecipients and contractors, and procurement of goods and
services. Government programs are designed to serve all eligible individuals. As an
expectation, Labor’s award recipients should make the goods and services they provide
widely available with the goal of effectively serving a diverse population of eligible
19
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 26 of 39
individuals; fairly, justly, and impartially in administering the grant award. Award
recipients are encouraged to engage in contracting and subcontracting for goods and
services related to performing the terms and conditions of their grants in such a way to
achieve equity.
The term “equity” means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment
of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that
have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native
American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color;
members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer
(LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and
persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.
The term “underserved communities” refers to populations sharing a particular
characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a
full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as
exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of “equity.”
F(7.) Personally Identifiable Information
The award recipient(s) must recognize and safeguard Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) except where disclosure is allowed by prior written approval of the Grant Officer or
by court order. Award recipients must meet the requirements in TEGL No. 39-11,
Guidance on the Handling and Protection of PII.
F(8.) Publicity and Lobbying/Advocacy
Publicity - Pursuant to P.L. 117-328, Division H, Title V, Section 503, the award
recipient is not authorized to use any funds provided under this award—other than for
normal and recognized executive–legislative relationships—for publicity or propaganda
purposes, for the preparation, distribution or use of any kit, pamphlet, booklet,
publication, electronic communication, radio, television, or video presentation, designed
to support or defeat legislation pending before the Congress or any state or local
legislature or legislative body, except in presentation to the Congress or any state or local
legislature itself, or designed to support or defeat any proposed or pending regulation,
administrative action, or order issued by the executive branch of any state or local
government, except in presentation to the executive branch of any state or local
government itself.
Lobbying/Advocacy - Pursuant to P.L. 117-328, Division H, Title V, Section 503, no
federal funds may be used to pay the salary or expenses of any grant recipient, or agent
acting for such recipient, related to any activity designed to influence the enactment of
legislation, appropriations, regulation, administrative action, or executive order proposed
or pending before the Congress or any state government, state legislature or local
legislature or legislative body, other than for normal and recognized executive–legislative
relationships or participation by an agency or officer of a state, local or tribal government
20
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 27 of 39

priority service to veterans and spouses of certain veterans for the receipt of employment,
training, and placement services in any job training program directly funded, in whole or
in part, by the DOL. The regulations implementing this priority of service can be found at
20 CFR Part 1010. In circumstances where an award recipient must choose between two
qualified candidates for a service, one of whom is a veteran or eligible spouse, the
21
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 28 of 39

priority of service, a veteran or spouse must meet the program’s eligibility requirements.
Award recipients must comply with the DOL guidance on veterans’ priority. ETA’s

The Build America, Buy America Act (“BABAA”) was enacted on November 12, 2021,
as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Public Law 117-58. With
the passage of the IIJA, federal financial assistance projects for infrastructure must
comply with domestic content procurement preference requirements established in
BABAA Section 70914. These requirements went into effect May 14, 2022. The Buy
America preference requires all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction
materials used for infrastructure projects in the United States under an award to be
domestically manufactured. Covered activities include the construction, alteration,
maintenance, or repair of public infrastructure, including buildings and real property
(See OMB Memorandum M-22-11).

subrecipients shall not use funds to pay the salary and bonuses of an individual, either as
direct costs or as indirect costs, at a rate in excess of Executive Level II. The Executive
Level II salary may change yearly and is located on the OPM.gov website. The salary
23
Case 1:26-cv-01505-EMR Document 1-3 Filed 10/09/26 Page 30 of 39
and bonus limitation does not apply to contractors (vendors) providing goods and
services as defined in 2 CFR 200.331. Where States are recipients of such funds, States
may establish a lower limit for salaries and bonuses of those receiving salaries and
bonuses from subrecipients, taking into account factors including the relative cost-of-
living in the State, the compensation levels for comparable State or local government
employees, and the size of the organizations that administer Federal programs involved
including DOL programs. See TEGL 5-06 for further clarification.
