OMB83C Justification for the SF424D

OMB83C Justification for the SF-424D Assurances – Construction Programs Standard - 4040-0009

The purpose of this change request is to correct the language to the third assurance of the SF424D form to the original third assurance. A portion of the language was inadvertently omitted within the form. The second sentence of the third assurance in the current form states: “Will record the Federal awarding agency directives and will include a covenant in the title of real property acquired in whole or in part with Federal assistance funds to assure non-discrimination during the useful life of the project.” It was found that the original version of the form included the following bolded excerpt: “Will record the Federal interest in the title of real property in accordance with awarding agency directives and will include a covenant in the title of real property acquired in whole or in part with Federal assistance funds to assure nondiscrimination during the useful life of the project.”

This OMB83C change requests OMB approval to add the above bolded excerpt back into the second sentence of the third assurance to the original statement version as shown below.

3. ^{Will not dispose of, modify the use of, or change the} terms of the real property title, or other interest in the site and facilities without permission and instructions from the awarding agency. Will record the Federal interest in the title of real property in accordance with awarding agency directives and will include a covenant in the title of real property acquired in whole or in part with Federal assistance funds to assure nondiscrimination during the useful life of the project.
