Limited Exceptions.In certain special circumstances,the U.S.Department of Justice("DOT')may determine that it will
not enforce,or enforce only in part,one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award.Any such exceptions
regarding enforcement,including any such exceptions made during the period of performance,are(or will be during

2. Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements
The Uniform Administrative Requirements,Cost Principles,and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R.Part 200,as adopted
and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R.Part 2800(together,the"Part 200 Uniform Requirements")apply to this FY
2020 award from OJP.
The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26,2014. If this FY 2020 award
supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number(e.g.,funds awarded during or before
December 2014),the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under that award number
(regardless of the award date,and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award)that
are obligated on or after the acceptance date of this FY 2020 award.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and subawards
("subgrants"),see the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UniformRequirements.htm.
Record retention and access: Records pertinent to the award that the recipient(and any subrecipient("subgrantee")at
any tier)must retain--typically for a period of 3 years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report(SF

any tier)must provide access,include performance measurement information,in addition to the financial records,
supporting documents,statistical records,and other pertinent records indicated at 2 C.F.R.200.333.
In the event that an award-related question arises from documents or other materials prepared or distributed by OJP

recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.

reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards(that is,OJP grants and
cooperative agreements),including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S.Code.
Effective as of September 1,2017,any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has been
reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S.Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified to
Title 34.This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions,references set out in
