U.S. GRANT ADMINISTRATION STANDARDS - JANUARY 2006 <br />North American Wetlands Conservation Act and Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act <br />beginning of the calendar year two years before the year in which FWS receives the <br />proposal. <br />D -9 What documentation is required to ensure compliance with Section 106 of the National <br />Historic Preservation Act for matching in -kind contributions acquired or performed <br />before the FWS receives a NAWCA Proposal (matching in -kind contributions are not <br />eligible for a NMBCA proposal)? <br />No advance documentation for Section 106, of the National Historic Preservation Act, as <br />implemented in 36 CFR, Part 800, is required for matching in -kind contributions acquired <br />or performed before the FWS receives a NAWCA Proposal. However, if the Recipient or <br />subrecipient or match provider has disturbed or allowed the disturbance of a site that is <br />subject to NHPA, the FWS may disallow the use of that property in a NAWCA project or <br />require the Recipient to take other steps as appropriate to ameliorate the disturbance. <br />D -10 Are acquisition costs that are incurred before the FWS receives the Proposal and used as <br />matching in -kind contributions (ineligible in NMBCA grants) subject to the relocation <br />assistance and real property acquisition requirements of 49 CFR, Part 24? <br />Acquisition costs of matching in -kind contributions incurred before the FWS receives a <br />NAWCA proposal are not subject to the relocation assistance and real property <br />acquisition requirements of 49 CFR, Part 24. However, costs for such matching property <br />must still be allowable, reasonable, and allocable, as required by 43 CFR, Part 12. <br />D -11 What constitutes satisfactory compliance with matching commitments? <br />At the end of the funding period, the matching contributions must at least equal the <br />amount committed to by the Recipient in the Grant Agreement. <br />D -12 Who may contribute matching cash or, for NAWCA only, in -kind contributions to a <br />project? <br />All Recipients and their partners may contribute matching cash or, for NAWCA only, in- <br />kind contributions. <br />D -13 What is program income? <br />Program income is income directly generated by any Project activity, or earned only as a <br />result of the Grant Agreement during the funding period. By definition, program income <br />is that income received by the grant Recipient itself, if the grant Recipient is an institution <br />of higher education, hospital, or other non - profit organization (43 CFR 12.902); or <br />received by the Recipient or Sub - recipient if it is a state or local government (43 CFR <br />12.65(b)). <br />D -14 Should "net" or "gross" income be used when calculating and reporting program income? <br />Either "net" or "gross" program income can be calculated and reported. If the Recipient <br />chooses, and if authorized by the awarding agency, "net" program income may be <br />determined by deducting the costs necessary for the generation of program income from <br />the gross program income, provided these costs have not been charged to the award (43 <br />CFR 12.65(c ), 43 CFR 12.924(f)). It is the Recipient's responsibility to identify these <br />6 <br />
