16 o For construction under an award, submit: SF-424D, Standard Assurances (Construction), submitted via the forms generated by ND Grants, in addition to or instead of SF-424B •SF-LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, submitted via the forms generated by ND Grants; and •Indirect Cost Agreement or Proposal, submitted as an attachment in ND Grants if the budget includes indirect costs and the applicant is required to have an indirect cost rate agreement or proposal. If the applicant does not have or is not required to have an indirect cost rate agreement or proposal, please see the “Funding Restrictions and Allowable Costs” section in the relevant program NOFO and the section below on indirect costs for further information regarding allowability of indirect costs and whether alternatives to an indirect cost rate agreement or proposal might be available or contact the relevant Preparedness Officer or Program Manager for further instructions. Generally, applicants need to submit either the non-construction forms (i.e., SF-424A and SF-424B) or construction forms (i.e., SF-424C and SF-424D), meaning that applicants that only have construction work and do not have any non-construction work need only submit the construction forms (i.e., SF-424C and SF-424D) and not the non-construction forms (i.e., SF-424A and SF-424B), and vice versa. However, applicants who have both construction and non-construction work under these programs need to submit both the construction and non-construction forms. Intergovernmental Review An intergovernmental review may be required. Applicants must contact their state’s Single Point of Contact to comply with the state’s process under Executive Order 12372. See Executive Orders | National Archives and Intergovernmental Review (SPOC List) (whitehouse.gov). Funding Restrictions and Allowable Costs All costs charged to awards covered by this Manual must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, unless otherwise indicated in this Manual, the applicable program NOFO, or the terms and conditions of the award. This includes, among other requirements, that costs must be incurred, and products and services must be delivered, within the period of performance of the award. See 2 C.F.R. § 200.403(h) (referring to budget periods, which for FEMA preparedness grant awards is the same as the period of performance). In general, the Cost Principles establish standards for the allowability of costs, provide detailed guidance on the cost accounting treatment of costs as direct or administrative costs, and set forth allowability principles for selected items of cost. More specifically, except as otherwise stated in the applicable program appendix to this Manual, the program NOFO, or the terms and condition of an award, costs charged to awards covered by this Manual must be consistent with the Cost Principles for Federal Awards located at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E. In order to be allowable, all costs charged to a FEMA award or applied to the cost share must be reasonable in nature and amount and allocable to the particular FEMA award. Additionally, all costs charged to awards must comply with the grant program’s applicable statutes, policies, NOFOs, and requirements in this Manual and the applicable NOFO, as well as with the terms and conditions of the award. If FEMA staff identify costs that are inconsistent with any of these requirements, these costs may be disallowed, and FEMA may recover funds as appropriate, consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and policies.
