The Subrecipient shall compensate the federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.313 (e) (2). ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved . b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be provided unless the appropriate approval has been received. c. Allowable equipment categories for the EMPG Program are listed on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at http ://www.fema.gov/aufhorized- eguipment-llst. It is important that the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the specific grant program and includes items that may not be categorized as equipment according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase. If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under EMPG, the Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval prior to acquisition. d. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory and/or DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award funds. e. The Subrecipient must pass on equipment and supply management requirements that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be found at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/85376 all of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including, but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures and facilities; or new construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to initiation. Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas not considered previously disturbed, also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project initiation. c. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties.
