    Subpart E_General Considerations Pertaining to Sea Grant Funding

 

Sec. 917.43  Terms and conditions of Sea Grant funding.



    No Sea Grant funding may be applied to:

    (a)(1) the purchase or rental of any land or (2) the purchase, 

rental, construction, preservation, or repair of any building, dock, or 

vessel, except that payment under any such grant or contract may (if 

approved by the Assistant Administrator for Administration of the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or designee) be applied 

to the purchase, rental, construction, preservation, or repair of non-

self-propelled habitats, buoys, platforms, and other similar devices or 

structures, or to the rental of any research vessel which is used in 

direct support of activities under any Sea Grant program or project.

    (b) In addition, Sea Grant funding under the Sea Grant Matched 

Funding Program will be subject to the limitation that the total amount 

which may be obligated within any one state to persons under the Sea 

Grant Matched Funding Program in any fiscal year shall not exceed an 

amount equal to 15 percent of the funds appropriated for the Sea Grant 

Matched Funding Program.

    (c) Any person who receives or utilizes Sea Grant funding shall keep 

the records required by OMB Circular A-110, ``Grant and Agreements with 

Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit 

Organizations,'' and by NOAA General Provision, implementing OMB 

Circular A-110, by OMB Circular A-102, ``Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for Grants-in-Aid to State and Local Governments,'' 

including records that fully disclose the amount and disposition by the 

recipient of such proceeds, the total cost of the program or project in 

which such proceeds were used, and the amount, if any, of such cost 

which was provided through other sources. Such records shall be 

maintained for three years after the completion of such a program or 

project. The Secretary and the Comptroller General of the United States, 

or any of their duly authorized representatives, shall have access, for 

the purpose of audit and evaulation, to any books, documents, papers, 

and records of receipt which, in the opinion of the Secretary or the 

Comptroller General, may be related or pertinent to such grants and 

contracts.
