ROBERT CHAPMAN
Acting Director
Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial
assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the
Award Letter
:
Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in discrimination prohibited by law.
Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give
assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit
recipients of federal financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and
employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants
authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity.
Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete
review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ
awards, see https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm.
Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against
recipients from individuals, entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance
reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to
evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services
in a non discriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that
meet equal-opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or
the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal
justice system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the
awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs
(EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information
regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information
regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)
(5).
The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that
are associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your
organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at askOCR@ojp.usdoj.gov.
This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award
Information, Project Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions.

award term and condition, you must report proceedings information through SAM for the most
recent five year period, either to report new information about any proceeding(s) that you have

and administrative proceedings.
5. Definitions
For purposes of this award term and condition:
a. Administrative proceeding means a non-judicial process that is adjudicatory in nature in
order to make a determination of fault or liability (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission
Administrative proceedings, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals proceedings, and Armed
Services Board of Contract Appeals proceedings). This includes proceedings at the Federal
and State level but only in connection with performance of a Federal contract or grant. It does
not include audits, site visits, corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables.
b. Conviction, for purposes of this award term and condition, means a judgment or conviction
of a criminal offense by any court of competent jurisdiction, whether entered upon a verdict or
a plea, and includes a conviction entered upon a plea of nolo contendere.
c. Total value of currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts
includes—
(1) Only the Federal share of the funding under any Federal award with a recipient cost share
or match; and
(2) The value of all expected funding increments under a Federal award and options, even if
not yet exercised.
Restrictions on Internal Confidentiality Agreements: No recipient or subrecipient under this
award, or entity that receives a contract or subcontract with any funds under this award, may
require any employee or contractor to sign an internal confidentiality agreement or statement
that prohibits or otherwise restricts the lawful reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse to an
investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal department or agency authorized
to receive such information. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Public Law 116-260,
Division E, Title VII, Section 742.
Debarment and Suspension: The recipient agrees not to award federal funds under this
program to any party which is debarred or suspended from participation in federal assistance
programs. 2 C.F.R. Part 180 (Government-wide Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension)
and 2 C.F.R. Part 2867 (DOJ Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension).
Employment Eligibility: The recipient agrees to complete and keep on file, as appropriate, the
Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), Public Law 99-603.
Additional High-Risk Recipient Requirements: The recipient agrees to comply with any
additional requirements that may be imposed during the award performance period if the
awarding agency determines that the recipient is a high-risk recipient. 2 C.F.R. § 200.208.
Extensions: Your agency may request an extension of the award period to receive additional
time to implement your award program. Such extensions do not provide additional funding.
Only those recipients that can provide a reasonable justification for delays will be granted no-
cost extensions. Extension requests must be received prior to the end date of the award. 2

Domestic preferences for procurements: Recipient agrees that it, and its subrecipients, to the
greatest extent practicable, will provide a preference for the purchase, acquisition, or use of

Modifications: Award modifications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with
2 C.F.R. § 200.308(f). For federal awards in excess of $250,000, any modification request
involving the reallocation of funding between budget categories that exceed or are expected to
exceed 10 percent (10%) of the total approved budget requires prior written approval by the
COPS Office. Regardless of the federal award amount or budget modification percentage, any
reallocation of funding is limited to approved budget categories. In addition, any budget
modification that changes the scope of the project requires prior written approval by the COPS
Office.
Sole Source Justification: Recipients who have been awarded funding for the procurement of
an item (or group of items) or service in excess of $250,000 and who plan to seek approval for
use of a noncompetitive procurement process must provide a written sole source justification
to the COPS Office for approval prior to obligating, expending, or drawing down award funds
for that item or service. 2 C.F.R. § 200.325(b)(2).
Human Subjects Research: The recipient agrees to comply with the provisions of the U.S.
Department of Justice’s common rule regarding Protection of Human Subjects, 28 C.F.R. Part
46, prior to the expenditure of Federal funds to perform such activities, if applicable. The
recipient also agrees to comply with 28 C.F.R. Part 22 regarding the safeguarding of
individually identifiable information collected from research participants.
News Media: The recipient agrees to comply with the COPS Office policy on contact with the
news media. The policy establishes the COPS Office Communications Division as the principal
point of contact for the news media for issues relevant to the COPS Office or parameters of
this award. The recipient agrees to refer all media inquiries on these topics directly to the
COPS Office Communications Division at 202-514-9079.
Copyright: If applicable, the recipient may copyright any work that is subject to copyright and
was developed, or for which ownership was acquired, under this award in accordance with 2
C.F.R. § 200.315(b). The COPS Office reserves a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable
license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the work, in whole or in part (including create
derivative works), for Federal Government purposes, and to authorize others to do so. The
COPS Office also reserves the right, at its discretion, not to publish deliverables and other

proposed publications resulting from this award ninety (90) days prior to public release. Any

Supplementing, not Supplanting: State, local, and tribal government recipients must use award
funds to supplement, and not supplant, state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) funds that
are already committed or otherwise would have been committed for award purposes (hiring,
training, purchases, and/or activities) during the award period. In other words, state, local, and
tribal government recipients may not use COPS Office funds to supplant (replace) state, local,
or BIA funds that would have been dedicated to the COPS Office-funded item(s) in the
absence of the COPS Office award. 34 U.S.C. § 10384(a).
Computer Network Requirement: The recipient understands and agrees that no award funds
may be used to maintain or establish a computer network unless such network blocks the
viewing, downloading, and exchanging of pornography. Nothing in this requirement limits the

other entity carrying out criminal investigations, prosecution, or adjudication activities.

or provided by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or
affiliate of such entities); Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital

required, to submit all surveys, interview protocols, and other information collections to the
COPS Office for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before submission to OMB, all information

Office to ensure compliance with the Privacy Act. The Privacy Act compliance review and the
PRA clearance process may take several months to complete. 44 U.S.C. §§ 3501-3520 and 5
U.S.C. § 552a.
Allowable Costs: The funding under this award is for the payment of approved costs for
program-specific purposes. The allowable costs approved for your agency's award are limited
to those listed in your agency’s award package. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.400(g), the
recipient must forgo any profit or management fee. Your agency may not use award funds for
any costs not identified as allowable in the award package.
The recipient, and any subrecipient at any tier, must make determinations of suitability before
certain individuals may interact with participating minors. This requirement applies regardless
of an individual's employment status.
1. Advance determination regarding suitability. The recipient (and any subrecipient at any tier)
may not permit any covered individual to interact with any participating minor in the course of
activities under the award, unless the recipient or subrecipient first has made a written
determination of the suitability of that individual to interact with participating minors, based on
current and appropriate information as described in paragraph 3.E., and taking into account
the factors and considerations described in paragraph 4.

2. Updates and reexaminations
A. The recipient (or subrecipient) must, at least every five years, update the searches
described in paragraph 3.E.1. and 2., reexamine the covered individual’s suitability
determination in light of those search results, and, if appropriate, modify or withdraw that
determination.
B. The recipient also must reexamine a covered individual’s suitability determination upon
learning of information that reasonably may suggest unsuitability and, if appropriate, modify or
withdraw that determination.
3. Definitions
A. "Covered individual" means any individual (other than a participating minor, as defined in
this condition, or a client of the recipient (or subrecipient)) who is expected, or reasonably
likely, to interact with any participating minor (other than the individual's own minor children). A
covered individual need not have any particular employment status or legal relationship with
the recipient (or subrecipient). Such an individual might be an employee of a recipient (or
subrecipient), but also might be (for example) a consultant, contractor, employee of a
contractor, trainee, volunteer, or teacher.
B. "Participating minor." All individuals under 18 years of age within the set of individuals
described in the scope section of this condition as it appears on the award document are
participating minors.
C. "Interaction" includes physical contact, oral and written communication, and the
transmission of images and sound, and may be in person or by electronic (or similar) means.
But "interaction" does not include--
(1) brief contact that is both unexpected by the recipient (or subrecipient) and unintentional on
the part of the covered individual -- such as might occur when a postal carrier delivers mail to
an administrative office.
(2) personally-accompanied contact -- that is, infrequent or occasional contact (for example, by
someone who comes to make a presentation) in the presence of an accompanying adult,
pursuant to written policies and procedures of the recipient (or subrecipient) that are designed
to ensure that -- throughout the contact -- an appropriate adult who has been determined to be
suitable pursuant to this condition will closely and personally accompany, and remain
continuously within view and earshot of, the covered individual.
D. "Activities under the award." Whether paid for with federal funds from the award, "matching"
funds included in the COPS Office-approved budget for the award, or "program income" for the
award as defined by the (DOJ) Part 200 Uniform Requirements), activities under the award
include both --
(1) activities carried out under the award by the recipient (or subrecipient); and
(2) actions taken by an entity or individual pursuant to a procurement contract under the award
or to a procurement contract under a subaward at any tier.
E. "Current and appropriate information"
In addition to information resulting from checks or screening required by applicable federal,
state, tribal, or local law, and/or by the recipient's (or subrecipient's) written policies and
procedures, current and appropriate information includes the results of all required searches
listed below, each of which must be completed no earlier than six months before the
determination regarding suitability.
(1) Public sex offender and child abuse websites/registries
A search (by current name, and, if applicable, by previous name(s) or aliases), of the pertinent
and reasonably-accessible federal, state, and (if applicable) local and tribal sex offender and
child abuse websites/public registries, including--
(a) the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (www.nsopw.gov);
(b) the website/public registry for each state (and/or tribe, if applicable) in which the individual
lives, works, or goes to school, or has lived, worked, or gone to school at any time during the
past five years; and
(c) the website/public registry for each state (and/or tribe, if applicable) in which the individual
is expected to, or reasonably likely to, interact with a participating minor in the course of
activities under the award.
(2) Criminal history registries and similar repositories of criminal history records
For each individual at least 18 years of age who is a covered individual under this FY 2019
award, a fingerprint search (or, if the recipient or subrecipient documents that a fingerprint
search is not legally available, a name-based search, using current and, if applicable, previous
names and aliases) (-- encompassing at least the time period beginning five calendar years
preceding the date of the search request -- of pertinent state (and, if applicable, local and
tribal) criminal history registries or similar repositories, including--
(a) the criminal history registry for each state in which the individual lives, works, or goes to
school, or has lived, worked, or gone to school at any time during the past five years; and
(b) the criminal history registry for each state in which he or she is expected to, or reasonably
likely to, interact with a participating minor in the course of activities under the award.
4. Factors and considerations in determinations regarding suitability
In addition to the factors and considerations that must or may be considered under applicable
federal, state, tribal, or local law, and under the recipient's (or subrecipient's) written policies
and procedures, in making a determination regarding suitability, the recipient (or subrecipient)
must consider the current and appropriate information described in paragraph 3.E.
In particular (unless applicable law precludes it), with respect to either an initial determination
of suitability or a subsequent reexamination, the recipient (or subrecipient) may not determine
that a covered individual is suitable to interact with participating minors in the course of
activities under the award if the covered individual--
A. Withholds consent to a criminal history search required by this condition;
B. Knowingly makes (or made) a false statement that affects, or is intended to affect, any
search required by this condition;
C. Is listed as a registered sex offender on the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public
Website;
D. To the knowledge of the recipient (or subrecipient), has been convicted -- whether as a
felony or misdemeanor -- under federal, state, tribal, or local law of any of the following crimes
(or any substantially equivalent criminal offense, regardless of the specific words by which it
may be identified in law):
(1) sexual or physical abuse, neglect, or endangerment of an individual under the age of 18 at
the time of the offense;
(2) rape/sexual assault, including conspiracy to commit rape/sexual assault;
(3) sexual exploitation, such as through child pornography or sex trafficking;
(4) kidnapping;
(5) voyeurism; or
E. Is determined by a federal, state, tribal, or local government agency not to be suitable.
5. Administration; rule of construction
A. The requirements of this condition are among those that must be included in any subaward
(at any tier), and must be monitored. They apply as of the date of acceptance of this award,
and throughout the remainder of the period of performance.
B. The recipient is to contact the DOJ awarding agency with any questions regarding the
requirements of this condition and must not allow a covered individual to interact with a
participating minor until such questions are answered.
C. Award funds may be obligated for the reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs (if any) of
actions designed to ensure compliance with this condition, provided that such funds would not
supplant non-federal funds that would otherwise be available for such costs.
D. Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize or require any recipient, any
subrecipient at any tier, or any person or other entity, to violate any federal, state, tribal, or
local law, including any applicable civil rights or nondiscrimination law.
I have read and understand the information presented in this section of the Federal Award
