<br />period of performance for this award, if the recipient is designated as "high-risk" for purposes of the DOJ
<br />high-risk grantee list.
<br />Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 42
<br />The recipient, and any subrecipient (subgrantee) at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of
<br />28 C.F.R. Part 42, specifically including any applicable requirements in Subpart E of 28 C.F.R. Part 42 that
<br />relate to an equal employment opportunity program.
<br />Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 38
<br />The recipient, and any subrecipient (subgrantee) at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of
<br />28 C.F.R. Part 38.
<br />Among other things, 28 C.F.R. Part 38 includes rules that prohibit specific forms of discrimination on the
<br />basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a
<br />religious practice. Part 38 also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to recipient and subrecipient
<br />(subgrantee) organizations that engage in or conduct explicitly religious activities, as well as rules and
<br />requirements that pertain to recipients and subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations.
<br />Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 54
<br />The recipient, and any subrecipient (subgrantee) at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of
<br />28 C.F.R. Part 54, which relates to nondiscrimination on the basis of sex in certain "education programs."
<br />Restrictions on "lobbying" and policy development
<br />In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds may not be used by the recipient, or any subrecipient
<br />(subgrantee) at any tier, either directly or indirectly, in support of the enactment, repeal, modification or
<br />adoption of any law, regulation or policy, at any level of government, in order to avoid violation of 18 U.S.C.
<br />1913. The recipient, or any subrecipient (subgrantee) may, however, use federal funds to collaborate with
<br />and provide information to federal, state, local, tribal and territorial public officials and agencies to develop
<br />and implement policies and develop and promote state, local, or tribal legislation or model codes designed
<br />to reduce or eliminate domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (as those terms are
<br />defined in 34 U.S.C. 12291(a)) when such collaboration and provision of information is consistent with the
<br />activities otherwise authorized under this grant program.
<br />Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OVW from being used by the recipient, or
<br />any subrecipient at any tier, to pay any person to influence (or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a
<br />Member of Congress, or Congress (or an official or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of
<br />a federal grant or cooperative agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions
<br />such as renewing, extending, or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this
<br />law apply, including an exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
<br />Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or subrecipient)
<br />would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OVW for guidance, and
<br />may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OVW.
