Sec.  59.212  Grantee accountability.



    (a) Accounting for grant award payments. All payments made by the 

Secretary shall be recorded by the grantee in accounting records 

separate from the records of all other grant funds, including funds 

derived from other grant awards. With respect to each approved project 

the grantee shall account for the sum total of all amounts paid by 

presenting or otherwise making available evidence satisfactory to the 

Secretary of expenditures for direct and indirect costs meeting the 

requirements of this part: Provided, however, That when the amount 

awarded for indirect costs was based on a predetermined fixed-percentage 

of estimated direct costs, the amount allowed for indirect costs shall 

be computed on the basis of such predetermined fixed-percentage rates 

applied to the total, or a selected element thereof, of the reimbursable 

direct costs incurred.

    (b) [Reserved]

    (c) Accounting for grant-related income--(1) Interest. Pursuant to 

section 203 of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 

4213), a State will not be held accountable for interest earned on grant 

funds, pending their disbursement for grant purposes. A State, as 

defined in section 102 of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, means 

any one of the several States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 

any territory or possession of the United States, or any agency or 

instrumentality of a State, but does not include the governments of the 

political subdivisions of the State. All grantees other than a State, as 

defined in this subsection, must return all interest earned on grant 

funds to the Federal Government.

    (d) Grant closeout--(1) Date of final accounting. A grantee shall 

render, with respect to each approved project, a full account, as 

provided herein, as of the date of the termination of grant support. The 

Secretary may require other special and periodic accounting.

    (2) Final settlement. There shall be payable to the Federal 

Government as final settlement with respect to each approved project the 

total sum of:

    (i) Any amount not accounted for pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 

section;

    (ii) Any credits for earned interest pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of 

this section;

    (iii) Any other amounts due pursuant to subparts F, M, and O of 45 

CFR part 74.



Such total sum shall constitute a debt owed by the grantee to the 

Federal Government and shall be recovered from the grantee or its 

successors or assignees by setoff or other action as provided by law.
