<br />collects, uses, processes, stores, maintains, disseminates, discloses, or disposes of personally
<br />identifiable information (PII) (as defined in 2 C.F.R. 200.1) within the scope of an OVW grant-funded
<br />program or activity, or 2) uses or operates a Federal information system (as defined in OMB Circular

<br />hours after an occurrence of an actual breach, or the detection of an imminent breach.
<br />31. REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO PROHIBITED CONDUCT RELATED TO THE
<br />TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS (INCLUDING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND OVW
<br />AUTHORITY TO TERMINATE AWARD)
<br />The Grantee, and any subgrantee at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements (including
<br />requirements to report allegations) pertaining to prohibited conduct related to the trafficking of
<br />persons, whether on the part of the Grantee, subgrantees, or individuals defined (for purposes of this
<br />condition) as "employees" of the Grantee or of any subgrantees. The details of the Grantee’s
<br />obligations related to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons are posted on the OVW
<br />website at: https://www.justice.gov/ovw/award-conditions (titled “Award Condition: Prohibited conduct
<br />by recipients and subrecipients related to trafficking in persons (including reporting requirements and
<br />OVW authority to terminate award”)), and are incorporated by reference here.
<br />32. REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT AND UNIQUE
<br />ENTITY IDENTIFIERS
<br />Grantees must have obtained a Unique Entity Identifier from the System for Award Management
<br />(SAM), currently at https://www.sam.gov, and provided their Unique Entity Identifier to OCVA.
<br />Grantees are not required to maintain an active SAM registration, but must obtain a Unique Entity
<br />Identifier.
<br />33. RESTRICTIONS ON “LOBBYING” AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT
<br />In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds may not be used by the Grantee, or any
<br />subgrantee at any tier, either directly or indirectly, in support of the enactment, repeal, modification or
<br />adoption of any law, regulation or policy, at any level of government, in order to avoid violation of 18
<br />U.S.C. § 1913. The Grantee, or any subgrantee may, however, use federal funds to collaborate with
<br />and provide information to federal, state, local, tribal and territorial public officials and agencies to
<br />develop and implement policies and develop and promote state, local, or tribal legislation or model
<br />codes designed to reduce or eliminate domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking
<br />(as those terms are defined in 34 U.S.C. § 12291(a)) when such collaboration and provision of
<br />information is consistent with the activities otherwise authorized under this grant program.
<br />Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by the Office on Violence Against
<br />Women from being used by the Grantee, or any subgrantee at any tier, to pay any person to influence
<br />(or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a Member of Congress, or Congress (or an official or
<br />employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or cooperative agreement,
<br />subgrant, grant, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as renewing, extending, or
<br />modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an
<br />exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
<br />Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by the Grantee (or any
<br />subgrantee) would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the Grantee is to contact
<br />COMMERCE for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of
<br />COMMERCE.
<br />34. SERVICES TO LIMITED-ENGLISH-PROFICIENT (LEP) PERSONS
<br />To ensure compliance with Title VI and the Safe Streets Act, Grantees are required to make
<br />reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to their programs. Meaningful
<br />access may entail providing language assistance services, including interpretation and translation
