Pre-award costs are those incurred from the beginning of the period of performance of the grant until the execution of this grant agreement and must be in accordance with the final approved program budget.

Costs that are not in accordance with the final approved budget (necessary, reasonable, allowable, and allocable) shall be disallowed.

The Grant Funds awarded pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the requirements of the Cash Management Improvement Act and Treasury’s implementing regulations at 31 CFR Part 205 or 2 CFR 200.305(b)(8)-9. Thus, Grantee is exempt from the provisions in Paragraph 4.7 of this Agreement. As such, Grantee can deposit Grant Funds in an interest-bearing account, does not need to remit interest to Grantor or to Treasury, and is not limited to using that interest for eligible uses under this Award.

Civil Rights Law Compliance. In addition to the other non-discrimination and Civil Rights law compliance required in this Agreement, Grantee also certifies it is in full compliance with the terms and provisions of all legal requirements of the Treasury relating to non-discrimination and non-discriminatory use of federal funds. These requirements include ensuring that Grantee does not deny benefits or services, or otherwise discriminate on the basis of race, color national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, age, or sex (including sexual orientation and general identity), in accordance with the following authorities: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC 2000d-1 et seq.) and the Treasury's implementing regulations, 31 CFR Part 22; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 USC 794), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 USC 1681 et seq.) and the Treasury's implementing regulations, 31 CFR Part 28; and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 USC 6101 et seq.) and the Treasury's implementing regulations at 31 CFR Part 23.
