Cost share of non-Federal cash is the only allowable recipient contribution for AFG–S 2 activity. On a case-by-case basis, FEMA may allow recipients already owning assets acquired with non-Federal cash, to use the trade-in allowance/credit value of those assets as cash for the purpose of meeting the costshare obligation. For FEMA to consider a trade-in allowance/credit value as cash, the allowance amount must be reasonable, and the allowance amount must be a separate entity clearly identified in the acquisition documents. In-kind cost share is not allowable for AFG–S 2. In cases of demonstrated economic hardship, and at the request of the grant recipient, the Administrator of FEMA may waive or reduce certain recipients’ AFG–S 2 cost-share requirement or maintenance of expenditure requirement. FY 2020 AFG–S 2 applicants must indicate at the time of application whether they are requesting a waiver and whether the waiver is for the cost-share requirement, maintenance of effort requirement, or both. The FEMA Administrator is required by statute to establish guidelines for determining what constitutes economic hardship. FEMA has published these guidelines at https://www.fema.gov/ media-library-data/1518026897046483d76a37022b8a581ffb7d42fa9b17e/ Eco_Hardship_Waiver_FPS_SAFER_ AFG_IB_FINAL.pdf.

New applicants must register and establish a username and password for secure access to the grant application. Previous AFG grant applicants must use their previously established username and passwords. Applicants must answer questions about their grant request that reflect the AFG–S 2 funding priorities described above. In addition, each applicant must complete a separate narrative for each project or grant activity requested. Grant applicants will also provide relevant information about their organization’s characteristics, call volume, and existing organizational capabilities. Application Process Organizations may submit one application per application period in each of the three AFG program activities (e.g., one application for Operations and Safety, and/or a separate application to be a Joint/Regional Project host). If an organization submits more than one application for any single AFG program [FR Doc. 2020–25330 Filed 11–16–20; 8:45 am] VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:46 Nov 16, 2020 Jkt 253001 System for Award Management (SAM) Per 2 CFR part 25, all Federal grant applicants and recipients must register in https://SAM.gov. SAM is the Federal Government’s System for Awards Management, and registration is free of charge. Applicants must maintain current information in SAM that is consistent with the data provided in their AFG–S 2 grant application and in the Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) database. FEMA may not accept any application, process any awards, and consider any payment or amendment requests, unless the applicant or grant recipient has complied with the requirements to provide a valid DUNS number and an active SAM registration. The grant applicant’s banking information, EIN, organization/entity name, address, and DUNS number must match the same information provided in SAM.
