Page 18 of 52 Il. RECLAMATION STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. REGULATIONS The regulations at 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 200 "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards", are hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth in full text. Failure of a Recipient to comply with any applicable regulation or circular may be the basis for withholding payments for proper charges made by the Recipient and/or for termination of support. 2. PAYMENT 2.1 Payment (2 CFR 200.305). (a) For states, payments are governed by Treasury -State CMIA agreements and default procedures codified at 31 CFR Part 205 "Rules and Procedures for Efficient Federal -State Funds Transfers" and TFM 4A-2000 Overall Disbursing Rules for All Federal Agencies. (b) For non -Federal entities other than states, payments methods must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United States Treasury or the pass - through entity and the disbursement by the non -Federal entity whether the payment is made by electronic funds transfer, or issuance or redemption of checks, warrants, or payment by other means. See also 200.302 Financial management paragraph (b)(6). Except as noted elsewhere in this part, Federal agencies must require recipients to use only OMB -approved standard governmentwide information collection requests to request payment. (1) The non -Federal entity must be paid in advance, provided it maintains or demonstrates the willingness to maintain both written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds and disbursement by the non -Federal entity, and financial management systems that meet the standards for fund control and accountability as established in this part. Advance payments to a non -Federal entity must be limited to the minimum amounts needed and be timed to be in accordance with the actual, immediate cash requirements of the non -Federal entity in carrying out the purpose of the approved program or project. The timing and amount of advance payments must be as close as is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by the non -Federal entity for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs. The non -Federal entity must make timely payment to contractors in accordance with the contract provisions. Agreement No. R20AP00075 Agreement Template (0312019)
