B. For Equipment: <br /> 1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of $5,000 or less may <br /> be retained, sold, or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation <br /> to the federal awarding agency. <br /> 2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000 <br /> may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the <br /> federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2 <br /> CFR 200.313 (e) (2). <br /> ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six <br /> years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation, <br /> claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records <br /> shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings <br /> involving the records have been resolved. <br /> b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is <br /> incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be <br /> provided unless the appropriate approval has been received. <br /> c. Allowable equipment categories for the EMPG Program are listed on the Authorized <br /> Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at http://www.fema.qov/authorized- <br /> equipment-list. It is important that the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which <br /> the Subrecipient makes a subaward regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list <br /> identifying items allowed under the specific grant program and includes items that may not <br /> be categorized as equipment according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of <br /> equipment. The Subrecipient is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting <br /> purchased items under this Agreement are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time <br /> of purchase. <br /> If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under EMPG, the Subrecipient must <br /> contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval prior to <br /> acquisition. <br /> d. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory <br /> and/or DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award <br /> funds. <br /> e. The Subrecipient must pass on equipment and supply management requirements that <br /> meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which the <br /> Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement. <br /> 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION <br /> a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental <br /> Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be <br /> found at https://www.fema.qov/media-library/assets/documents/85376 all of which are <br /> incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. <br /> b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including, <br /> but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of <br /> existing buildings, structures and facilities; or new construction including replacement of <br /> facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to initiation. <br /> Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as <br /> attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas <br /> not considered previously disturbed, also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project <br /> initiation. <br /> c. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that <br /> includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under <br /> consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the <br /> proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic <br /> properties. <br /> DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 18 Page 6 of 36 «Jurisdiction» OEM, E19-125 <br />
