Do underserved communities still need to register with SAM.gov and will they have the reporting responsibilities of federal subrecipient?
The recipient and any sub-recipient must comply with the applicable EPA general terms and conditions outlined below. These terms and conditions are in addition to the assurances and certifications.
Prior to making subawards, the PR must ensure that each subrecipient has a “Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).” The UEI is required by 2 CFR Part 25 and 2 CFR 200.332(a)(1). Subrecipients are not required to complete full System for Award Management (SAM) registration to obtain a UEI. Information regarding obtaining a UEI is available at the SAM Internet site and in EPA’s General Term and Condition “System for Award Management and Universal Identifier Requirements” of the pass-through entity’s agreement with the EPA.
