Conflict of Interest <br />To eliminate and reduce the impact of conflicts of interest in the subaward process, <br />recipients and pass - through entities must follow their own policies and procedures <br />regarding the elimination or reduction of conflicts of interest when malting subawards. <br />Recipients and pass - through entities also are required to follow any applicable state, <br />local, or tribal statutes or regulations governing conflicts of interest in the malting of <br />subawards. <br />The recipient or pass - through entity must disclose to FEMA, in writing, any real or <br />potential conflict of interest as defined by the Federal, state, local, or tribal statutes or <br />regulations or their own existing policies that may arise during the administration of the <br />federal award. Recipients and pass - through entities must disclose any real or potential <br />conflicts to their Regional Program Manager within five days of learning of the conflict <br />of interest. Similarly, subrecipients must disclose any real or potential conflict of interest <br />to the pass - through entity as required by the Recipient's conflict of interest policies, or <br />any applicable state, local, or tribal statutes or regulations. <br />Conflicts of interest may arise during the process of FEMA making a Federal award in <br />situations where an employee, officer, or agent, any members of his or her immediate <br />family, his or her partner has a close personal relationship, a business relationship, or a <br />professional relationship, with an applicant, subapplicant, recipient, subrecipient, or <br />FEMA employee. <br />23 <br />FY 2015 EMPG Program <br />55B -31 <br />
