Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Grant Application Fees
1) The required grant
application fee is due to the Department immediately upon submittal of the
grant application.
2) Except when
possible through electronic fee submittal, the grant applicant shall submit the
required grant application fee in the form of a bank draft made payable to the
"Illinois Department of Natural Resources".
A)
If the grant application is submitted as a paper document (hard copy), the
grant application fee shall be attached to the application at the time of
submittal.
B) If the grant
application is submitted electronically, but the Department lacks a means to
accept the payment electronically, the grant applicant shall, in advance of the
electronic submission of the application, submit a bank draft in the amount of
the correct calculated grant application fee. The Department will hold the
grant application fee pending receipt of the grant application. If the
electronic grant application is not submitted to the Department prior to the
grant program application deadline, the application fee will be returned to the
grant applicant.
C) The grant
applicant shall attach the grant application fee bank draft to supporting
documentation that clearly identifies the grant program, grant project, grant
request amount, and calculated grant application fee due with the
application.
3)
Applications submitted without the required grant application fee, or with an
incorrect amount, will not be accepted by the Department. These applications
will be returned to the grant applicant without consideration and will not be
held by the Department while awaiting submittal of the required or correct
grant application fee.
4) Failure
of a grant application fee to clear the bank it is drawn against may result in
termination of the grant award without further consideration.
b) Grant Award Fees
1) Except when possible through electronic
fee submittal, the grantee shall submit the required grant award fee in the
form of a bank draft made payable to the "Illinois Department of Natural
Resources".
A) If the grant agreement is
submitted as a paper document (hard copy), the grant award fee shall be
attached to the grant agreement at the time of submittal.
B) If the grant agreement is submitted
electronically, but the Department lacks a means to accept the payment
electronically, the grantee shall, in advance of the electronic submission of
the grant agreement, submit a bank draft in the amount of the correct
calculated grant award fee. The Department will hold the grant award fee
pending receipt of the grant agreement.
2) The grantee shall attach the grant award
fee bank draft to supporting documentation that clearly identifies the grant
program, grant project, grant award amount, and calculated grant award fee due
with the grant agreement.
3) The
Department will not execute grant agreements submitted without the required
grant award fee, or with an incorrect amount.
4) Failure of a grant award fee to clear the
bank it is drawn against may result in termination of the grant award without
further consideration.
5) A grant
award fee will be refunded to the grantee if the State unilaterally rescinds a
grant agreement at any time prior to the commencement of a project in the event
that State funds are not appropriated for the grant program. If a grantee
withdraws from a grant agreement prior to commencement of a project, the grant
award fee will only be refunded if, in the judgment of the Department, the
circumstances of the withdrawal are due to no fault of the grantee (e.g.,
statutory changes, act of God). A project shall be deemed to be commenced when
the grantee makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation with respect to the
project.
6) Failure by the grantee
to comply with any grant program regulations or the grant agreement shall be
cause for the suspension of all grant assistance obligations, including
reimbursement of a grant award fee, unless, in the judgment of the Department,
the failure was due to no fault of the grantee (e.g., statutory changes, acts
of God).
