INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION
1.

By signing and submitting this form, the grantee is providing the certification set out on pages 1 and 2.

2.

The certification set out on pages 1 and 2 is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed
when the agency awards the grant. If it is later determined that the grantee knowingly rendered a false
certification, or otherwise violates the requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act, the agency, in addition
to any other remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action authorized under the Drug-Free
Workplace Act.

3.

Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the certification. If
known, they may be identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not identify the workplaces at the
time of application, or upon award, if there is no application, the grantee must keep the identity of the
workplace(s) on file in its office and make the information available for Federal inspection. Failure to
identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free workplace requirements.

4.

Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or parts of buildings) or other sites
where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all vehicles of a mass
transit authority or State highway department while in operation, State employees in each local
unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio studios).

5.

If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the grant, the grantee shall
inform the agency of the change(s). If it previously identified the workplaces in question (see paragraph
three).

6.

Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment common rule and Drug-Free
Workplace common rule apply to this certification. Grantees' attention is called, in particular, to the
following definitions from these rules:
"Controlled substance" means a controlled substance in Schedules I through V of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and as further defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through
1308.15);
"Conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo contendere) or imposition of sentence,
or both, by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to determine violations of the Federal or
States criminal drug statutes;
"Criminal drug statute" means a Federal or non-Federal criminal statute involving the manufacture,
distribution, dispensing, use, or possession of any controlled substance;
"Employee" means the employee of a grantee directly engaged in the performance of work under a
grant, including: (i) all "direct charge" employees; (ii) all "indirect charge" employees unless their
impact or involvement is insignificant to the performance of the grant; and, (iii) temporary personnel
and consultants who are directly engaged in the performance of work under the grant and who are on
the grantee's payroll. This definition does not include workers not on the payroll of the grantee (e.g.
volunteers, even if used to meet a matching requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on
the grantee's payroll; or employees of subrecipients or subcontractors in covered workplaces)
