    (2) Federal award of cost-reimbursement contract under the FAR to a 
non-Federal entity. When a non-Federal entity is awarded a cost-
reimbursement contract, only subpart D of this part Sec. Sec.  75.351 
through 75.353 (in addition to any FAR related requirements for 
subaward monitoring), Subpart E of this part and Subpart F of this part

Accounting Standards (CAS) are applicable to the contract, they take 
precedence over the requirements of this part except for subpart F of 
this part when they are in conflict. In addition, costs that are made 
unallowable under 10 U.S.C. 2324(e) and 41 U.S.C. 4304(a) as described 
in the FAR subpart 31.2 and subpart 31.603 are always unallowable. For 
requirements other than those covered in subpart D of this part, 
Sec. Sec.  75.351 through 75.353, subpart E of this part and subpart F 
of this part, the terms of the contract and the FAR apply.

the procurement standards in previous OMB guidance (superseded by this 
part as described in 45 CFR 75.104) for two additional fiscal years

(1) Prior to making a Federal award, the HHS awarding agency is 
required by 31 U.S.C. 3321 and 41 U.S.C. 2313 note to review 
information available through any OMB-designated repositories of 
governmentwide eligibility qualification or financial integrity 
information as appropriate. See also suspension and debarment 
requirements at 2 CFR parts 180 and 376.
    (2) In accordance 41 U.S.C. 2313, the HHS awarding agency is 
required to review the publicly available information in the OMB-
designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM 
(currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information 
System (FAPIIS)) prior to making a Federal award where the Federal 
share is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, 
defined in 41 U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance. At a minimum, 
the information in the system for a prior Federal award recipient must 
demonstrate a satisfactory record of executing programs or activities 
under Federal grants, cooperative agreements, or procurement awards; 
and integrity

and business ethics. The HHS awarding agency may make a Federal award 
to a recipient who does not fully meet these standards, if it is 
determined that the information is not relevant to the current Federal 
award under consideration or there are specific conditions that can 
appropriately mitigate the effects of the non-Federal entity's risk in 
accordance with Sec.  75.207.

Sec.  75.212  Reporting a determination that a recipient is not 
qualified for a Federal award.

    (a) If an HHS awarding agency does not make a Federal award to a 
non-Federal entity because the official determines that the non-Federal 
entity does not meet either or both of the minimum qualification 
standards as described in Sec.  75.205(a)(2), the HHS awarding agency 
must report that determination to the designated integrity and 
performance system accessible through SAM (currently FAPIIS), only if 
all of the following apply:
    (1) The only basis for the determination described in paragraph (a) 
of this section is the non-Federal entity's prior record of executing 
programs or activities under Federal awards or its record of integrity 
and business ethics, as described in Sec.  75.205(a)(2), (i.e., the 
entity was determined to be qualified based on all factors other than 
those two standards), and
    (2) The total Federal share of the Federal award that otherwise 
would be made to the non-Federal entity is expected to exceed the 
simplified acquisition threshold over the period of performance.
    (b) The HHS awarding agency is not required to report a 
determination that a non-Federal entity is not qualified for a Federal 
award if it makes the Federal award to the non-Federal entity and 
includes specific award terms and conditions, as described in Sec.  
75.207.
    (c) If an HHS awarding agency reports a determination that a non-
Federal entity is not qualified for a Federal award, as described in 
paragraph (a) of this section, the HHS awarding agency also must notify 
the non-Federal entity that--
    (1) The determination was made and reported to the designated 
integrity and performance system accessible through SAM, and include 
with the notification an explanation of the basis for the 
determination;
    (2) The information will be kept in the system for a period of five 
years from the date of the determination, as required by section 872 of 
Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313), then archived;
    (3) Each HHS awarding agency that considers making a Federal award 
to the non-Federal entity during that five year period must consider 
that information in judging whether the non-Federal entity is qualified 
to receive the Federal award when the total Federal share of the 
Federal award is expected to include an amount of Federal funding in 
excess of the simplified acquisition threshold over the period of 
performance;
    (4) The non-Federal entity may go to the awardee integrity and 
performance portal accessible through SAM (currently the Contractor 
Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)) and comment on any 
information the system contains about the non-Federal entity itself; 
and
    (5) HHS awarding agencies will consider that non-Federal entity's 
comments in determining whether the non-Federal entity is qualified for 
the future Federal award.
    (d) If an HHS awarding agency enters information into the 
designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM 
about a determination that a non-Federal entity is not qualified for a 
Federal award and subsequently:
    (1) Learns that any of that information is erroneous, the HHS 
awarding agency must correct the information in the system within three 
business days;
    (2) Obtains an update to that information that could be helpful to 
other Federal awarding agencies, the HHS awarding agency is strongly 
encouraged to amend the information in the system to incorporate the 
update in a timely way.
    (e) HHS awarding agencies shall not post any information that will 
be made publicly available in the non-public segment of the designated 
integrity and performance system that is covered by a disclosure 
exemption under the Freedom of Information Act. If the recipient 
asserts within seven calendar days to the HHS awarding agency that 
posted the information that some or all of the information made 
publicly available is covered by a disclosure exemption under the 
Freedom of Information Act, the HHS awarding agency that posted the 
information must remove the posting within seven calendar days of 
receiving the assertion. Prior to reposting the releasable information, 
the HHS awarding agency must resolve the issue in accordance with the 
agency's Freedom of Information Act procedures.

bearing accounts must be remitted annually to the Department of Health 
and Human Services Payment Management System (PMS) through an 
electronic medium using either Automated Clearing House (ACH) network 
or a Fedwire Funds Service payment. Remittances must include pertinent 
information of the payee and nature of the payment in the memo area 
(often referred to as ``addenda records'' by Financial Institutions) as 
that will assist in the timely posting of interest earned on federal 
funds. Pertinent details include the Payee Account Number (PAN) if the

0
179. In Sec.  75.372, revise paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) and add 
paragraph (c) to read as follows:

    (1) By the HHS awarding agency or pass-through entity, if the non-
Federal entity fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the 
award;
* * * * *
    (b) When an HHS awarding agency terminates a Federal award prior to 
the end of the period of performance due to the non-Federal entity's 
material failure to comply with the Federal award terms and conditions, 
the HHS awarding agency must report the termination to the OMB-
designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM 
(currently FAPIIS).
    (1) The information required under this paragraph (b) is not to be 
reported to the designated integrity and performance system until after 
the non-Federal entity either--
    (i) Has exhausted its opportunities to object or challenge the 
decision, see Sec.  75.374; or
    (ii) Has not, within 30 calendar days after being notified of the 
termination, informed the HHS awarding agency that it intends to appeal

    (i) Learns that any of the information is erroneous, the HHS 
awarding agency must correct the information in the system within three 
business days;
    (ii) Obtains an update to that information that could be helpful to

update in a timely way;
    (3) HHS awarding agencies shall not post any information that will 
be made publicly available in the non-public segment of the designated 
integrity and performance system that is covered by a disclosure 
exemption under the Freedom of Information Act. If the non-Federal 
entity asserts within seven calendar days to the HHS awarding agency 
who posted the information, that some of the information made publicly 
available is covered by a disclosure exemption under the Freedom of 
Information Act, the HHS awarding agency who posted the information 
must remove the posting within seven calendar days of receiving the 
assertion. Prior to reposting the releasable information, the HHS 
agency must resolve the issue in accordance with the agency's Freedom

* * * * *
    E. * * *
    3. For any Federal award under a notice of funding opportunity, 
if the HHS awarding agency anticipates that the total Federal share 
will be greater than the simplified acquisition threshold on any 
Federal award under a notice of funding opportunity may include, 
over the period of performance (see Sec.  75.2 Simplified 
Acquisition Threshold), this section must also inform applicants:
    i. That the HHS awarding agency, prior to making a Federal award 
with a total amount of Federal share greater than the simplified 
acquisition threshold, is required to review and consider any 
information about the applicant that is in the designated integrity 
and performance system accessible through SAM (currently FAPIIS) 
(see 41 U.S.C. 2313);
    ii. That an applicant, at its option, may review information in 
the designated integrity and performance systems accessible through 
SAM and comment on any information about itself that the HHS 
awarding agency previously entered and is currently in the 
designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM;
    iii. That the HHS awarding agency will consider any comments by 
the applicant, in addition to the other information in the 
designated integrity and performance system, in making a judgment 
about the applicant's integrity, business ethics, and record of 
performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk 
posed by applicants as described in Sec.  75.205.
    4. Anticipated Announcement and Federal Award Dates--Optional. 
This section is intended to provide applicants with information they 
can use for planning purposes. If there is a single application 
deadline followed by the simultaneous review of all applications, 
the HHS awarding agency can include in this section information 
about the anticipated dates for announcing or notifying successful 
and unsuccessful applicants and for having Federal awards in place. 
If applications are received and evaluated on a ``rolling'' basis at 
different times during an extended period, it may be appropriate to 
give applicants an estimate of the time needed to process an 
application and notify the applicant of the HHS awarding agency's 
decision.
    F. * * *
    3. Reporting--Required. This section must include general 
information about the type (e.g., financial or performance), 
frequency, and means of submission (paper or electronic) of post-
Federal award reporting requirements. Highlight any special 
reporting requirements for Federal awards under this funding 
opportunity that differ (e.g., by report type, frequency, form/
format, or circumstances for use) from what the HHS awarding 
agency's Federal awards usually require. HHS agencies must also 
describe in this section all relevant requirements such as those at 
2 CFR 180.335 and 2 CFR 180.350. If the Federal share of any Federal 
award may include more than $500,000 over the period of performance, 
this section must inform potential applicants about the post award 
reporting requirements in Appendix XII.

Appendix XII--Award Term and Conditions for Recipient Integrity and 
Performance Matters

A. Reporting of Matters Related to Recipient Integrity and Performance

1. General Reporting Requirement

    If the total value of your currently active grants, cooperative 
agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding 
agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the 
period of performance of this Federal award, then you as the 
recipient during that period of time must maintain the currency of 
information reported to the System for Award Management (SAM) that 
is made available in the designated integrity and performance system 
(currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information 
System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or administrative 
proceedings described in paragraph 2 of this award term and 
condition. This is a statutory requirement under section 872 of 
Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by 
section 3010 of Public Law 111-212, all information posted in the 
designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 
2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal 
procurement contracts, will be publicly available.

2. Proceedings About Which You Must Report

    Submit the information required about each proceeding that:
    a. Is in connection with the award or performance of a grant, 
cooperative agreement, or procurement contract from the Federal 
Government;
    b. Reached its final disposition during the most recent five 
year period; and
    c. If one of the following:
    (1) A criminal proceeding that resulted in a conviction, as 
defined in paragraph 5 of this award term and condition;
    (2) A civil proceeding that resulted in a finding of fault and 
liability and payment of a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement, 
restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more;
    (3) An administrative proceeding, as defined in paragraph 5 of 
this award term and condition, that resulted in a finding of fault 
and liability and your payment of either a monetary fine or penalty 
of $5,000 or more or reimbursement, restitution, or damages in 
excess of $100,000; or
    (4) Any other criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding if:
    (i) It could have led to an outcome described in paragraph 
2.c.(1), (2), or (3) of this award term and condition;
    (ii) It had a different disposition arrived at by consent or 
compromise with an acknowledgement of fault on your part; and
    (iii) The requirement in this award term and condition to 
disclose information about the proceeding does not conflict with 
applicable laws and regulations.

3. Reporting Procedures

    Enter in the SAM Entity Management area the information that SAM 
requires about each proceeding described in paragraph 2 of this 
award term and condition. You do not need to submit the information 
a second time under assistance awards that you received if you 
already provided the information through SAM because you were 
required to do so under Federal procurement contracts that you were 
awarded.

4. Reporting Frequency

    During any period of time when you are subject to this 
requirement in paragraph 1 of this award term and condition, you 
must report proceedings information through SAM for the most recent 
five year period, either to report new information about any 
proceeding(s) that you have not reported previously or affirm that 
there is no new information to report. Recipients that have Federal 
contract, grant, and cooperative agreement awards with a cumulative 
total value greater than $10,000,000 must disclose semiannually any 
information about the criminal, civil, and administrative 
proceedings.

5. Definitions

    For purposes of this award term and condition:
    a. Administrative proceeding means a non-judicial process that 
is adjudicatory in nature in order to make a determination of fault 
or liability (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission 
Administrative proceedings, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals 
proceedings, and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals 
proceedings). This includes proceedings at the Federal and State 
level but only in connection with performance of a Federal contract 
or grant. It does not include audits, site visits, corrective plans, 
or inspection of deliverables.
    b. Conviction, for purposes of this award term and condition, 
means a judgment or conviction of a criminal offense by any court of 
competent jurisdiction, whether entered upon a verdict or a plea, 
and includes a conviction entered upon a plea of nolo contendere.
    c. Total value of currently active grants, cooperative 
agreements, and procurement contracts includes--
    (1) Only the Federal share of the funding under any Federal 
award with a recipient cost share or match; and
    (2) The value of all expected funding increments under a Federal 
award and options, even if not yet exercised
    B. [Reserved]
