The awarded funds may not be used under this award by a forensic laboratory or forensic laboratory system with accreditation (or by such laboratory to obtain accreditation) that BJA determines not to be consistent with the Coverdell law and the solicitation or to be otherwise deficient. The recipient agrees to notify FDLE promptly upon any change in its accreditation status.

The recipient further understands and agrees that any program income earned during the award period that is not obligated and expended with one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the award period must be returned to OJP. The recipient understands and agrees that, throughout the award period, it must promptly notify BJA if it either starts or stops charging fees for forensic science or medical examiner services, or if it revises its method of allocating fees received for such services to program income. Notice must be provided in writing to the BJA grant manager for the award within ten (10) business days of implementation of the change. For Paul Coverdell: External Investigations ~ The recipient shall comply with 34 U.S.C. section 10562(4), relating to processes in place to conduct independent external investigations into allegations of serious negligence or misconduct by employees or contractors.

Should the project period for this award be extended, the recipient shall submit the above information as to the first twelve months of the award as part of the first semi-annual progress report that comes due after the conclusion of the first twelve months of the project period, and shall submit the required information as to subsequent twelve-month periods every twelve months thereafter (as part of a semi-annual progress report) until the close of the award period, at which point the recipient shall submit the required information as to any period not covered by prior reports as part of its final report.
