SECTION 5 - APPLICANT PROJECT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND CERTIFICATIONS
I acknowledge and certify that I have reviewed and understand the following information regarding overarching
requirements to receive Fire Management Assistance Grant assistance. Please initial next to each statement.
The requirement to comply with applicable Federal, State, local, Tribal, and Territorial laws, regulations, and executive
orders. Non-compliance may result in denial or deobligation of funding. This includes but is not limited to laws prohibiting
discrimination, complying with the most restrictive of its own documented policies and procedures used for procurements
with non-Federal funds, compliance with environmental and historic preservation laws, and inclusion of required
provisions as applicable.
The requirement to comply with all Fire Management Assistance Grant Program applicable statutes. The statute that
authorizes FEMA to provide assistance through the Public Assistance Program is the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, as Amended (Stafford Act), Title 42 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) § 5187 et seq.
The requirement to comply with Fire Management Assistance Grant Program rules and regulations as described in 44
C.F.R. Part 204.
The requirement to comply with applicable administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements in 2
C.F.R. Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.

DRAFT

The requirement to comply with applicable policies which are used to articulate FEMA's intent and direction in applying
statutory and regulatory authority to achieve desired outcomes. Compliance with the Fire Management Assistance Grant
Program and Policy Guide (FMAG-PPG) is also required. The purpose of the FMAG-PPG is to define FEMA's Public
Assistance Program and its policy and procedural requirements. When the FMAG-PAPPG uses the words “must” or
“required,” it is a legal requirement.
Applicants must maintain all source documentation for each Project for 3 years after the date of transmission of the
Closeout Form as certified by the Recipient. Recipients must keep all financial and program documentation for 3 years
after the date it submits the final SF-425, in accordance with Title 2 C.F.R. §200.334-337. Longer retention periods may
apply to real property and equipment disposition, audits, and litigation. Additionally, State, local, Tribal, or Territorial
government laws may require longer retention periods.
The requirement to inform FEMA of all purchased equipment with a fair market value over $5,000 after it is no longer
needed for federally funded programs or projects in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.313. FEMA reduces eligible funding
by this amount.
The requirement to inform FEMA if the aggregate fair market value of unused supplies purchased for FEMA projects is
over $5,000 after they are no longer needed for federally funded programs or projects in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §
200.314. FEMA reduces eligible funding by this amount.
As required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 308 and 309 of the Stafford Act, and applicable
provisions of laws and authorities prohibiting discrimination, all work claimed was [will be] delivered in an impartial and
equitable manner.
As required by 44 C.F.R. § 206.228 and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, I certify the costs claimed were of a type generally
recognized as ordinary and necessary for the type of facility and work.
As required by Stafford Act § 312, I certify that I am not claiming any work or costs that are covered by another source
such as revenue, non-federal grants, cash donations, another Federal agency, or another FEMA Program (e.g.,
Individual Assistance programs or Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. If I receive funding for any work or costs in this
project application, I will notify the Recipient and FEMA, and funding will be reconciled to eliminate duplication.
All information provided regarding the project application is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Upon submittal
this project application becomes a legal document. The Recipient or FEMA may use external sources to verify the
accuracy of the information entered. It is a violation of Federal law to intentionally make false statements or hide
information when applying for Fire Management Assistance Grant assistance. The False Claims Act (31 U.S.C.
§§3729-3733) prohibits the submission of false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government. Suspicion of
fraudulent activities should be reported to the FEMA Disaster Fraud Hotline, the Department of Homeland Security's
Office of the Inspector General, or the Department of Justice Fraud Hotline. I understand that, if I intentionally make
false statements or conceal any information in an attempt to obtain Fire Management Assistance Grant assistance, it is
a violation of Federal laws, which carry severe criminal and civil penalties including a fine of up to $250,000,
imprisonment, or both. (18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, 1040, and 3571).

Projects were completed in accordance with 44 C.F.R. § 206.205 and the FEMA approved scopes of work, all necessary
documents have been received, and any appeal for project overruns have been reconciled.
The Stafford Act Section 705 imposes a 3-year limit on FEMA's authority to recover payments made to SLTT
government Recipients and Applicants unless there is evidence of fraud. Section 705 does not apply to Private Nonprofit organizations. I have read and understand FEMA issued Recovery Policy (FP 205-081-2), Stafford Act Section
