Services, nor does the mention of trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply
<br />endorsement by the U.S. Government,
<br />Logo Use for Conference and Other Materials: Neither the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
<br />nor the CDC logo may be displayed if such display would cause confusion as to the funding source or give false
<br />appearance of Government endorsement. Use of the HHS name or logo is governed by U.S.C, Part 1320b -10,
<br />which prohibits misuse of the HHS name and emblem in written communication. A non - federal entity is
<br />unauthorized to use the HHS name or Togo governed by U.S.C. Part 1320b -10. The appropriate use of the HHS
<br />logo is subject to review and approval of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (OASPA).
<br />Moreover, the HHS Office of the Inspector General has authority to impose civil monetary penalties for violations
<br />(42 CFR Part 1003). Accordingly, neither the HHS nor the CDC logo can be used by the grantee without the
<br />express, written consent of either the CDC Project Officer or the CDC Grants Management Officer. It is the
<br />responsibility of the grantee to request consent for use of the logo in sufficient detail to ensure a complete
<br />depiction and disclosure of all uses of the Govemment logos. In all cases for utilization of Government logos, the
<br />grantee must ensure written consent is received from the Project Officer and/or the Grants Management Officer.
<br />Equipment and products: To the greatest extent practicable, all equipment and products purchased with CDC
<br />funds should be American -made. CDC defines equipment as tangible non - expendable personal property
<br />(including exempt property) charged directly to an award having a useful life of more than one year AND an
<br />aequisitlon cost of $5,000 or more per unit. However, consistent with grantee policy, a lower threshold may be
<br />established. Please provide the Information to the Grants Management Officer to establish a lower equipment
<br />threshold to reflect your organization's policy.
<br />The grantee may use its own property management standards and procedures, provided it observes provisions in
<br />applicable grant regulations found at 45 CFR Pan 75.
<br />Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA): All information systems, electronic or hard copy, that
<br />contain federal data must be protected from unauthorized access. This standard also applies to information
<br />associated with CDC grants. Congress and the OMB have instituted laws, policies and directives that govern the
<br />creation and implementation of federal information security practices that pertain specifically to grants and
<br />contracts. The current regulations are pursuant to the Federal Information Security Management Act ( FfSMA),
<br />Title 1I1 of the E- Government Act of 2002, PL 107 -347.
<br />FISMA applies to CDC grantees only when grantees collect, store, process, transmit or use information on behalf
<br />of HHS or any of its component organizations. In all other cases, FISMA is not applicable to recipients of grants,
<br />including cooperative agreements, Under FISMA, the grantee retains the original data and intellectual property,
<br />and Is responsible for the security of those data, subject to all applicable laws protecting security, privacy, and
<br />research. It/When information collected by a grantee is provided to HMS, responsibility for the protection of the
<br />HMS copy of the Information is transferred to HHS and it becomes the agency's responsibility to protect that
<br />Information and any derivative copies as required by FISMA. For the full text of the requirements under Federal
<br />Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Title III of the E- Government Act of 2002 Pub, L. No. 107 -347,
