GR900081 Civil Penalty <br /> 10. Grant funds shall not be used to attempt to influence the public on legislation pending <br /> before Congress. <br /> 11. For purposes of this grant, program income includes, but is not limited to, income <br /> earned during the grant performance period from the sale of publications, the sale of <br /> real or personal property purchased with grant funds, the sale of services under a grant <br /> (such as the sale of computer time), permit fees, income earned from investment of <br /> permit fees or other program income, income from royalties received as a result of <br /> copyrights or patents produced under the grant and insurance premiums under the <br /> subsidence insurance program. Program income does not include income from fines, <br /> penalties, taxes, or forfeitures. Program income earned on the non-Federal lands <br /> portion of an administration and enforcement grant shall be used to finance the <br /> Grantee's matching share of grant costs (cost sharing option). When a grant includes <br /> funds for Federal lands activities, the program income derived from such activities shall <br /> be deducted from the total allowable Federal lands cost for the purpose of determining <br /> the net allowable Federal lands costs (deductive option). Proceeds from the sale, <br /> transfer or distribution of real or personal property must be handled in accordance with <br /> the Grants Management Common Rule and implementing DOI regulations. <br /> 12. Prior to the start of any construction activity, the Grantee shall ensure that all applicable <br /> Federal, State, and local permits and clearances are obtained. <br /> 13. It is a national policy to place a fair share of purchases with minority business firms. <br /> Minority Business Enterprises/Women's Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE) utilization is <br /> based on Executive Orders 11625, 12138 and 12432, and the Grants Management <br /> Common Rule. The Department of the Interior (DOI) is strongly committed to the <br /> objectives of this policy and encourages all recipients of its grants and cooperative <br /> agreements to take affirmative steps to ensure such fairness. In particular, recipients <br /> should: <br /> a. Place minority business firms on bidder's mailing lists. <br /> b. Solicit these firms whenever they are potential sources of supplies, equipment, <br /> construction or services. <br /> c. Where feasible, divide total requirements into smaller needs, and set delivery <br /> schedules that will encourage participation by these firms. <br /> d. Use the assistance of the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department <br /> of Commerce, the Small Business Administration, the Office of Small and <br /> Disadvantaged Business Utilization, DOI, the Business Utilization and Development <br /> Specialists who reside in each DOI bureau and office, and similar State and local <br /> offices, where they exist. <br /> 3 <br />
