Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 45, November 9, 2024
Section 106.62 - General conditions(a)Grant agreement. The applicant shall sign a grant agreement setting forth the term and amount of the grant and other terms and conditions as the Department may reasonably require.(b)Verification. Within 3 months of the project completion date specified in the grant agreement, the applicant shall submit to the Department a final report that includes written receipts, records and any other pertinent documentation evidencing the total amount of the costs incurred and expenditures associated with the project. The final report shall also include a narrative report describing the effectiveness of the project, the results obtained, the experience gained and the personal knowledge acquired. The applicant shall submit a final report.(c)Failure to verify. If the final report containing all receipts, records, the narrative report and other required documentation is not submitted within the 3-month period, a portion of the grant proceeds are unaccounted for, or the applicant violates another provision of this subchapter, the Department may demand the applicant repay the entire principal balance of the grant or a lesser amount and interest incurred to date. The interest rate will be calculated using simple interest at the percentage rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate at the time the grant was made. Payment shall be due within 60 days of the written demand.(d)Default. A recipient who fails to abide by the terms of the act, the grant agreement or this subchapter shall be in default. When a grant recipient defaults, the Department may seek recovery of the grant funds as delineated in § 106.47 (relating to right of recovery). A default may be waived by the Department for extenuating circumstances the Department considers to be no fault of the recipient.(e)Availability and use of grant results. The technical information, experience gained and personal knowledge resulting from an AEEP grant are public information. Any funds which remain unused after the project's completion date or the date upon which a grant is terminated by either the Department or the recipient shall be returned to the Department within 90 days of that date.
