The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services, nor does the mention of trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government; i. Logo use for Conference and Other Materials Neither the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) nor the CDC logo may be displayed if such display would cause confusion as to the funding source or give false appearance of Government endorsement. Use of the HHS name or logo is governed by U.S.C. Part 1320b -10, which prohibits misuse of the HHS name and emblem in written communication. A non - federal entity is unauthorized to use the HHS name or logo governed by U.S.C.Part 132Ob -10. The appropriate use of the HHS logo is subject to review and approval of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (OASPA). Moreover, the HHS Office of the Inspector General has authority to impose civil monetary penalties for violations (42 CFR- Part 1003). Accordingly, neither the HHS nor the CDC logo can be used by the Subgrantee without the express, written consent of either the CDC Project Officer or the CDC Grants Management Officer. It is the responsibility of the Subgrantee to request consent through Subgrantor for use of the logo in sufficient detail to ensure a complete depiction and disclosure of all uses of the Government PICH Subcontract Page 17 CFDA Number: 93.331 Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN): U58DP005861 Grant Number: 1U58DPO05861 -01 Funding Opportunity Announcement Number: CDC- RFA -DP14 -1417 logos. In all cases for utilization of Government logos, Subgrantee must ensure written consent is received from the Project Officer and /or the Grants Management Officer through Subgrantor; j. American Made products To the greatest extent practicable, all equipment and products purchased with CDC funds should be American -made. CDC defines equipment as tangible non - expendable personal property (including exempt property) charged directly to an award having a useful life of more than one year AND an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more per unit. However, consistent with Subgrantee policy, a lower threshold may be established. Please provide the information to Subgrantor to establish a lower equipment threshold to reflect Subgrantee's organization's policy. Subgrantee may use its own property management standards and procedures, provided it observes provisions of in applicable grant regulations and OMB circulars; k. Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) All information systems, electronic or hard copy, that contain federal data must be protected from unauthorized access. This standard also applies to information associated with CDC grants. Congress and the OMB have instituted laws, policies and directives that govern the creation and implementation of federal information security practices that pertain specifically to grants and contracts. The current regulations are pursuant to the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Title III of the E- Government Act of 2002, PL 107 -347. FISMA applies to Subgrantee only when Subgrantee collects, stores, processes, transmits or uses information on behalf of HHS or any of its component organizations. In all other cases, FISMA is not applicable to recipients of grants, including cooperative agreements. Under FISMA, Subgrantee retains the original data and intellectual property, and is responsible for the security of these data, subject to all applicable laws protecting security, privacy, and research. If/When information collected by a Subgrantee is provided to HHS, responsibility for the protection of the HHS copy of the information is transferred to HHS and it becomes the agency's responsibility to protect that information and any derivative copies as required by FISMA.
