The recipient agrees to comply with all Federal, State, and local environmental laws and regulations applicable to the development and implementation of the activities to be funded under this award. Categorical Exclusions: Based upon the infonnation provided by the recipient in its application for these funds, Nil has determined and the recipient understands that the proposed activities meet the definition of a categorical exclusion, as defined in the Department of Justice' Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act found at 28 CFR Part 61. A categorical exclusion is an action that because of the proposed activities' very limited and predictable potential environmental impacts, both on an individual and a cumulative basis, does not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. Consequently, no further environmental impact analysis is necessary under the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.c. 4321, for these categorically excluded activities. Modifications: Throughout the term of this award, the recipient agrees that for any activities that are the subject of this categorical exclusion, it will inform NIJ of any change(s) that it is considering making to the previously assessed activities that may be relevant to the environmental impacts of the activities. The recipient will not implement a proposed change until NIl, with the assistance of the recipient, has completed any applicable environmental impact review requirements necessitated by the proposed change and NIJ has concurred in the proposed change. This approval will not be unreasonably withheld as long as any requested modification(s) is consistent with eligible program purposes and found acceptable under an NIl conducted environmental impact review process. 20. No portion of these federal grant funds shall be used towards any part of the annual cash compensation of any employee of the grantee whose total annual cash compensation exceeds 110% of the maximum salary payable to a member of the Federal government's Senior Executive Service at an agency with a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System for that year. This prohibition may be waived on an individual basis at the discretion of the Assistant Attorney General for OJP. 9tt OIP FORM 4000/2 (REV. 4-8~)
