If a recipient makes a subaward to another agency, what is the responsibility of the grantmaking agency for assuring the compliance of the subrecipient agency with the EEOP regulations?
Grantmaking agencies that make subawards from federal aid subject to the administrative provisions of the Safe Streets Act are responsible for ensuring that subrecipients comply with the EEOP regulations. State administering agencies as well as grantmaking agencies in local government should have established procedures for monitoring subrecipients’ compliance (e.g., requiring grant applicants to sign assurances that expressly state that the applicant will comply with the EEOP regulations, monitoring whether subrecipients have either developed an EEOP or filed the appropriate Certification Forms with the OCR). The failure of a subrecipient to comply with the EEOP regulations may result in the OCR finding that the grantmaking agency is also not in compliance with the same regulations.
