APPENDIX A

GRANTS

GENERAL CONDITIONS GOVERNING
UNDER TITLES II, III-B AND VII OF THE ECO-
NOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 1964, AS AMEND-
ED (INCLUDING AMENDMENTS MADE BY THE
COMMUNITY SERVICES ACT OF 1974)

Program funds expended under authority of this funding action are subject to the provisions of the Community Services Act of 1974, the general conditions listed below, any attached special grant conditions, and Community Services Administration (CSA) directives. The grantee is expected to inform CSA promptly if it fails to receive, or has reason to believe it has failed to receive, all CSA applicable directives or any attachments to the Statement of OEO Grant. Many of those provisions do not represent invariable policies of the CSA and exceptions should be requested in cases in which compliance with one or more of them would cause unnecessary difficulties in carrying out the approved program. Requirements found in grant conditions or CSA directives may be waived only by a written notification signed by an authorized CSA official. Any such waiver must be explicit: no waiver may be inferred from the fact that the funding action is responsive to a grant funding request which may have contained material inconsistent with one or more of these conditions.

1. Definitions. As used in these conditions: (a) An "approved program" consists only of those activities described in the grant funding request for which funding is approved in the Statement of OEO Grant and its attachments (which may include modifications of proposed activities) or in CSA approved written amendments to the Statement of OEO Grant.

(b) "Program account funding period" extends from the effective date of a new or refunding action through the termination date or expiration of planned number of months for which funding is provided.

(c) "Total program funds" refers to all amounts approved for expenditure for the approved program as shown on the Statement of OEO Grant, whether such amounts are derived from Federal or non-Federal sources, or whether they are provided in cash or in kind.

(d) "CSA directives" are statements of policy and procedure published in the CSA publications system.

2. Applicability of conditions to delegate agencies. These conditions are applicable both to the grantee and to any delegate agency or organization that, pursuant to an agreement with the grantee, undertakes responsibility for any part of the approved program. Such an agreement may be entered into only if (1) the intention to make such a delegation to the particular agency

has been set forth in the funding request for this grant action or has otherwise been approved by CSA, and (2) the contract contains all of the provisions found in the approved "Standard Contract Form for Delegation of Program Accounts."

3. Limitations on expenditure of program funds. Expenses charged against program funds may not be incurred prior to the effective date of the grant or subsequent to the termination date unless written prior approval has been received from the CSA funding official and may be incurred only as necessary to carry out the purposes and activities of the approved program. Such expenditures may not exceed the maximum limits shown on the Statement of OEO Grant or those subsequently approved for that approved program, subject to allowable flexibility guidelines published by CSA. All expenses incurred for the approved program must be supported by approved contracts, purchase orders, requisitions, bills, or other evidence of liability consistent with the grantee or delegate agency's established purchasing procedures. Expenses charged against program funds must also be incurred in accordance with CSA directives. Liabilities of the grantee or its delegate agencies to third parties as a result of termination action which are costs of phasing out in accordance with CSA directives or are specifically approved shall be considered proper expenditures of program funds. CSA will determine the disposition of unexpended funds at the termination of the grant.

4. Limitations on expenditures of federal funds. Expenditures of funds derived from Federal grant funds must not exceed in any event the amount of the Federal grant shown in the Statement of OEO Grant, (Column 9, OEO Form 314). Moreover, if a minimum non-Federal percentage of program funds is shown in the Statement of OEO Grant (Column 10, OEO Form 314), the portion of the total expenditures of the approved program derived from non-Federal sources, valuated in accordance with CSA Instructions, must not be less than that minimum percentage of the total program funds for the approved program. This requirement must be met for each program account funding period, and should be substantially true for each financial reporting period. Deficiencies of non-Federal share in one program account may be supplied by an excess in other program accounts consistent with applicable CSA Instructions concerning the pooling of non-Federal share. Further, the amount of total program funds derived from Federal grant funds must not exceed the grantee's allowable costs for the approved program which have been or are to be paid in cash.

5. Property. No program funds may be expended or costs incurred for the purchase of real property except as in accordance with

regulations on the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of personal property as set forth in CSA directives.

6. Discrimination prohibited. No person in the United States shall on the ground of race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the proceeds of, or be subject to discrimination under the program approved as a result of this funding request. The grantee and its delegate agencies will comply with the regulations promulgated by the Director of CSA, pursuant to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and pursuant to the Community Services Act of 1974.

7. Discrimination in employment prohibited. In all hiring or employment made possible by or resulting from this grant action, each employer (1) will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin, and (2) will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin. This requirement shall apply to, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates or pay of other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The grantee and its delegate agencies shall comply with all applicable Statutes and Executive Orders on equal employment opportunity and this grant action shall be governed by the provisions of all such Statutes and Executive Orders, including enforcement provisions, as implemented by, but not limited to, CSA directives.

8. Religious institutions. The grantee and its delegate agencies shall ensure that any part of the approved program that is conducted by a church or church related institution is entirely non-sectarian in content and purpose, and that CSA directives on grants and delegations to churches or church related institutions are satisfied.

9. Labor standards. All laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors in the construction, alteration or repair, including painting and decorating, of projects, buildings, and works which are federally assisted under this grant shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on similar construction in the locality, as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-5).

10. Patents. Any discovery or invention arising out of or developed in the course of work aided by the grant shall be promptly and fully reported to the Director of CSA for determination as to whether patent protection on such invention or discovery shall
