subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, either directly or indirectly, to support or oppose the enactment, repeal,
<br />modification, or adoption of any law, regulation, or policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There may
<br />be exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain activities that otherwise would be barred by
<br />law.)
<br />Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OJP from being used by the recipient, or any
<br />subrecipient at any tier, to pay any person to influence (or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a Member of
<br />Congress, or Congress (or an official or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or
<br />cooperative agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as renewing,
<br />extending, or 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 a recipient (or subrecipient) would or might
<br />fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the
<br />express prior written approval of OJP.
<br />Condition 31
<br />FFATA reporting: Subawards and executive compensation
<br />The recipient must comply with applicable requirements to report first-tier subawards ("subgrants") of $30,000 or more
<br />and, in certain circumstances, to report the names and total compensation of the five most highly compensated
<br />executives of the recipient and first-tier subrecipients (first-tier "subgrantees") of award funds. The details of recipient
<br />obligations, which derive from the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), are posted
<br />on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/FFATA.htm (Award condition: Reporting Subawards and
<br />Executive Compensation), and are incorporated by reference here.
<br />This condition, including its reporting requirement, does not apply to-- (1) an award of less than $30,000, or (2) an
<br />award made to an individual who received the award as a natural person (i.e., unrelated to any business or non-profit
<br />organization that he or she may own or operate in his or her name).
<br />Condition 32
<br />The recipient agrees to submit to BJA for review and approval any product (e.g., curricula, training materials,
<br />publications, reports, videos, or any other written, web-based, or audio-visual, or other materials) that will be developed
<br />and published under this award at least thirty (30) working days prior to the targeted dissemination date. The current
<br />edition of the DOJ Grants Financial Guide provides guidance on allowable printing and publication activities. Any
<br />products developed under this award, (with the exception of press releases, web sites, and mobile applications), shall
<br />contain the following statements: “This project was supported by Grant No. <Award_Number> awarded by the Bureau
<br />of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. Points of view or opinions in this
<br />document are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the U.S.
<br />Department of Justice." (Note: A separate disclaimer has been developed and is required for web sites and mobile
<br />applications. No disclaimer is required for press releases.)
<br />Condition 33
<br />The recipient agrees to cooperate with any assessments, national evaluation efforts, or information or data collection
<br />requests, including, but not limited to, the provision of any information required for the assessment or evaluation of any
<br />activities within this project.
<br />Condition 34
<br />Verification and updating of recipient contact information
<br />The recipient must verify its Grant Award Administrator, Financial Manager, and Authorized Representative contact
<br />information in JustGrants, including telephone number and e-mail address. If any information is incorrect or has
<br />changed, the award recipient’s Entity Administrator must make changes to contact information through DIAMD.
<br />Instructions on how to update contact information in JustGrants can be found at https://justicegrants.usdoj.gov/training/
<br />training-entity-management.
