USDA United States Department of Agriculture 1.2 Order of Precedence If there is inconsistency between award provisions, AMS will resolve the issue by giving precedence in the following order: 1. Applicable laws and statutes of the United States, including any specific legislative provisions mandated in the statutory authority for the award 2. Code of Federal Regulations 3. AMS General Terms and Conditions for Grants Agreements 4. Agency policy 5. Application documents 1.3 Definitions AMS aligns its grant term definitions to the maximum extent possible with the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2. CFR §·200 ). Select definitions referenced in this document are highlighted below: Cost sharing or matching (2 CFR § 200.29 ) means the portion of project costs not paid by Federal funds. Federal award (2 CFR § 200.38 ) means the grant agreement, cooperative agreement, other agreement for assistance, or the cost-reimbursement contract awarded under the Federal Acquisition Regulations setting forth these terms and conditions. Non-Federal entity (2 CFR § 200.69) means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education, or nonprofit organization that carries out the award as a recipient or subrecipient. These award terms are applicable to non-Federal entities. Period of Performance (2 CFR § 200.77 ) means the time during which the non-Federal entity may incur new obligations to carry out the work authorized under the Federal award. In addition, the term includes any extension of the end date of the award, such as a no-cost extension authorized by 2 CFR § 200.308, paragraph (d)(2). The period of performance is identified in block 15 of the Grant Agreement Face Sheet (Form AMS-33) and will determine the effective commence date of the award. Personally Identifiable Information (Pl/) (2 CFR § 2.00.79 ) means information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. Non-PII can become PII whenever additional information is made publicly available, in any medium and from any source, that, when combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual. Program income (2 CFR § 200.80 ) means gross income earned by the non-Federal entity that is directly generated by a supported activity or earned as a result of the Federal award during the period of performance. • Recipient (2 CFR § 200.86 ) means a non-Federal entity that receives a Federal award directly from a Federal awarding Agency to carry out an activity under a Federal program. The term recipient does not include subrecipients. Subaward (2 CFR § 200.92 ) means an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include payments to contractors or to individuals who are beneficiaries of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including a contract. Subrecipient (2 CFR § 200.93 ) means a non-Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. Unrecovered indirect cost (2. CFR §_2Q0.30G(c)) means the difference between the amount charged to the Federal award and the amount that could have been charged to the Federal award under the potential recipient's approved negotiated indirect cost rate. 4
