HUD does not collect or review state codes of conduct for compliance with 2 CFR 200.318(c). Instead, each state must follow the same policies and procedures for procurements under Federal awards that the state uses for procurements from its non-Federal funds, as provided in 2 CFR 200.317. 6.2. Conflict of Interest(COI) as defined by 2 CFR§200.112,means the non-Federal entity must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to the Federal awarding agency or pass- through entity in accordance with applicable Federal awarding agency policy. 6.3.

If there are no program-specific regulations for the award, the following conflict of interest requirements apply in all cases not governed by 2 CFR 11 DDnri iDDnnCKir Ar_DCDnnCKir Kii innDCD• p-23-028 Attachment A DocuSign Envelope ID:401ACFAD-EED4-4161-83C3-B3979AD3C92C JUJ Norin America inc aDa bub rorensiC Laboratories January 18, 2023 200.317 and 200.318(c): a. General prohibition.No person who is an employee,agent, consultant,officer, or elected or appointed official of the recipient or subrecipient and who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to assisted activities,or who is in a position to participate in a decision making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities,may obtain a financial interest or benefit from the activity or have an interest in any contract, subcontract, or agreement with respect thereto, or the proceeds thereunder, either for himself or herself or for those with whom he or she has immediate family or business ties,during his or her tenure or for one year thereafter. Immediate family ties include(whether by blood,marriage, or adoption)the spouse,parent(including a stepparent), child(including a stepchild),brother, sister(including a stepbrother or stepsister), grandparent, grandchild, and in-laws of a covered person. b. Exceptions. HUD may grant an exception to the general prohibition in paragraph 6.3.a, upon the recipient's written request and satisfaction of the threshold requirements in paragraph 6.3.c,if HUD determines the exception will further the Federal purpose of the award and the effective and efficient administration of the recipient's program or project, taking into account the cumulative effects of the factors in paragraph 6.3.d. c. Threshold requirements for exceptions. HUD will consider an exception only after the recipient has provided the following documentation: (i) A disclosure of the nature of the conflict,accompanied by an assurance that there has been a public disclosure of the conflict and a description of how the public disclosure was made; and (ii) An opinion of the recipient's attorney that the interest for which the exception is sought would not violate State or local law. d. Factors to be considered for exceptions. In determining whether to grant a requested exception after the recipient has satisfactorily met the threshold requirements in paragraph 6.3.c,HUD will consider the cumulative effect of the following factors,where applicable: (i) Whether the exception would provide a significant cost-benefit or an essential degree of expertise to the program or project that would otherwise not be available. (ii) Whether an opportunity was provided for open competitive bidding or negotiation. (iii)Whether the person affected is a member of a group or class of low-or moderate- income persons intended to be the beneficiaries of the assisted activity, and the exception will permit such person to receive generally the same interests or benefits as are being made available or provided to the group or class; (iv)Whether the affected person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities, or the decision-making process with respect to the specific assisted activity in question. (v) Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in a position as described in paragraph 6.3.a. (vi)Whether undue hardship will result either to the recipient or the person affected when weighed against the public interest served by avoiding the prohibited conflict; and (vii) Any other relevant considerations. 12 Donrri MCRACKir n r_DCCRACKir Kii innQCD- p-23-028 Attachment A DocuSign Envelope ID:401ACFAD-EED4-4161-83C3-B3979AD3C92C ')Ub Norin America inc aDa bub rorensiC Laboratories January 18, 2023 Important: Recipients must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to HUD. 7. Determining Subrecipient or Contractor Classification Determining Subrecipient or Contractor Classification as defined by 2 CFR§200.331 means the Non- Federal entity may concurrently receive Federal awards as a recipient, a subrecipient, and a contractor,depending on the substance of its agreements with Federal awarding agencies and pass- through entities. Therefore,a pass-through entity must make case-by-case determinations whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of Federal program funds casts the parry receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or a contractor. Please note that a non-federal entity partner to the prime recipient cannot operate as both a contractor and a subrecipient on the same award. See OLHCHH's Policy Guidance Number: 2019-02—Determining Subrecipient or Contractor Classification. 8. Procurement Standards Procurement refers to the process of selecting contracts, establishing price and terms to acquire goods and services. Recipients must follow the procurement standards articulated in 2 CFR 200. 8.1. States must follow the same policies and procedures it uses for procurements from its non- Federal funds. States must comply with §§200.321,200.322, and 200.323 and ensure that every purchase order or other contract includes any clauses required by§200.327. 8.2. All other non-Federal entities, including subrecipients of a State,must follow the procurement standards in§§200.318 through 200.327. a. As required by § 200.327, and Appendix II of Part 200 which the section cites, and which cites Executive Order 11246, "Equal Employment Opportunity",recipients performing or having subrecipients or contractors at any tier perform,federally assisted construction contracts(i.e., including work that includes rehabilitation or repair of buildings, or improvements to real property, and supervision,inspection,and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction)under their award shall comply,in implementing their agreement,with,in the Department of Labor's equal employment opportunity regulations at 41 CFR part 60, section 60-1.4,Equal opportunity clause, subsections (b) through(e)(with definitions in section 60-1.3), and excepting such contracts up to $10,000(as per section 60-4.1),with section 60-4.2, Solicitations.

Release of Funds and Environmental Certification 40.1. Award of an FY2021 OLHCHH grant does not constitute approval of specific sites where activities that are subject to environmental review may be carried out. Recipients conducting eligible construction,rehabilitation,repair,weatherization, or related hazard remediation work must comply with 24 CFR Part 58, "Environmental Review Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD Environmental Responsibilities,"or,if specified in the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the award,24 CFR Part 50,"Environmental Assessment". Except when Part 50 is specified. Recipients that are States,units of general local government, or Native American Tribes must carry out environmental review responsibilities as responsible entities, defined under Part 58. For the Healthy Homes Production grant program,recipients that are not-for-profit firms, educational or for-profit institutions must contact and partner with the responsible entity,usually the unit of general local government or Native American Tribe of the target area(s),to assume the environmental review responsibilities. Should the responsible entity object to performing the environmental review,or the non-governmental recipient is unable to identify a responsible entity with whom they can partner to perform the environmental review,HUD may designate another responsible entity to perform the review or may perform the environmental review itself under the provision of 24 CFR Part 50. For Lead Hazard Reduction grant program recipients that are not States,units of general local government, or Native American Tribes,HUD will perform the environmental review. For all grants under the NOFO,recipients and other participants in the project are prohibited from undertaking, or committing or expending HUD or non-HUD funds (including match funds) on, a project or activities under the NOFO(other than activities listed in 24 CFR§§58.34, 58.35(b)or 58.22(f))until the responsible entity completes an environmental review and the applicant submits and HUD approves a Request for the Release of Funds and the responsible entity's environmental certification(both on Form HUD-7015.15) or, in instances where 29 DDnri iDDnnCKir Ar_DCDnnCKir Kii innDCD• p-23-028 Attachment A DocuSign Envelope ID:401ACFAD-EED4-4161-83C3-B3979AD3C92C Z)Ub Norin America inc aDa bub rorensiC Laboratories January 18, 2023 HUD performs the environmental review under Part 50,HUD has completed the review and notified the grantee of its approval. The results of the environmental review may require that proposed activities be modified, or proposed sites rejected. 40.2. HUD will not make additional payments from the amount awarded to a Grantee for lead hazard and healthy homes evaluation or control until the Grantee's contractors and workers are qualified for the activities according to 24 CFR Part 35 (possessing certification as abatement contractors,risk assessors,inspectors,abatement workers, or sampling technicians, or others having been trained in a HUD-approved course in lead-safe work practices).
