9

separate agreement, but you still have
responsibility for reporting.

13
Grant Agreement

• Box 11 Funding or project period. Two years
  from date of FWS signature

  match amounts.
• Box 15 Project summary. Objectives include only
  grant and match acres.

14
Grant Agreement

• Box 14 References items included in the grant
  agreement
• Proposal
• Regulations

15
Project Costs

• A reasonable cost . . .
• doesnt exceed what a prudent person would pay
  under the circumstances and at the time.
• is ordinary and necessary for the project.

16
Project Costs

• An allocable cost . . .
• is specific to the award, or
• benefits both the award and other work, and can
  be distributed in reasonable proportion to the
  benefits received, or
• is necessary to the overall operation of the
  organization, although a direct relationship to a
  particular cost objective of an award cant be
  shown. 

17
Project Costs

• An allowable cost is . . .
• allocable to the award, necessary and reasonable
  for the project.
• treated consistently as a direct or indirect
  cost.
• not included as a cost in or used to match
  another federal award.
• adequately documented.
• in compliance with applicable laws, regulations,
  and policy.

18
Project Costs

• Match Grant
• Both required by law, so are subject to the same
  regulations.
• Rarely, policy dictates differences in how grant
  and match are used.

19
Match Tips

• Grant and match must equal what is shown in the
  grant agreement (or modification).
• The recipient, not the partner, will be held
  responsible for match.
• Shortfalls in match can be covered by any
  partner.
• All match obligated before FWS receives the
  proposal is considered a matching in-kind
  contribution. 
• All match must be received and spent in the
  funding period.

20
Modifications

• Projects change through the funding period.
• Prior approval is required for most changes.

21
Modifications

• Prior approval is needed to
• Change the purpose and scope of the project
• Extend the funding period
• Substitute acquisition, restoration, or
  enhancement tracts if sites were identified in
  the proposal
• Change the boundary of the project area
• Decrease acres or conservation benefits
• Decrease total match
• Transfer funds from a direct to indirect cost
  category or vice versa 

Prior approval is not needed to change a
recipients project officer.
22
Modifications

• Tract substitutions or newly identified sites -
• Confirm that
• The tract shouldnt be included in the National
  Wildlife Refuge System
• Requirements of the NEPA and the ESA have been
  met
• NHPA Section 106 process will be completed
• Contaminants survey is completed for all lands
  that will become part of a Federal land
  management system.
• Submit
• Revised TAQs 4 and 5
• Revised tract table
• New maps
• Revised budget, if necessary

23
Modifications

•  If there has been a modification to the habitat
  objectives, match, or any other aspect of your
  grant agreement, remember that project compliance
  will be based on the last modification, not your
  original grant agreement.

24
