Under this Inter-Local Agreement, the Douglas County Health Department would administer the Lead- based Paint Hazard Control Program with monitoring and technical assistance from the City Planning Department. As you may recall, the City of Omaha has been awarded grant funding of$2,000,000 under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program. On December 14, 1999, by Resolution No. 3248, the Omaha City Council accepted and authorized the Mayor to execute the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program Grant Award Document: NELHB0142-99 and further specified that the City match of$100,000 shall be paid from the contingent liability reserve fund. The City of Omaha Planning Department prepared the successful Lead-based Paint Hazard Control Grant proposal in cooperation with the Douglas County Health Department, proposing a cooperative arrangement for implementing the Lead-based Paint Hazard Control Program. This partnership is designed to bring together the housing expertise of the City of Omaha Planning Department and the public health expertise of the Douglas County Health Department to address the problem of childhood lead poisoning in Omaha. The proposed Inter-Local Agreement will formally establish the cooperative arrangement between the City of Omaha Planning Department and the Douglas County Health Department 1 for the purpose of implementing the Lead-based Paint Hazard Control Program. The program will be effective for a 36-month period beginning January 1, 2000 and may be extended with approval from the HUD Office of Lead Hazard Control. The City Planning Department will collaborate with the Douglas County Health Department on any changes to the lead hazard control program work plan that may be necessary to successfully accomplish this program. Honorable President and Members of the City Council Page 2 We urge your favorable consideration of this Resolution. Sincerely, Referred to City r • ncil f Co ideration: 71'1" 1717 5 AVra Robert C.

PROPERTY OWNER ENROLLMENT IN PROJECT The Omaha Project targets priority housing in the designated target area consisting of nine zip code areas located in the northeastern and southeastern sections of the City. The DCIID will conduct blood-lead level testing of children residing in the target area and priority housing will be designated by the identification of a child with an elevated blood lead level at or exceeding 20 ug/dl and resides in a dwelling unit located in the targeted area. The second priority level is housing associated with the identification of a child with a blood lead level of 15-19 ug/dl. The third priority level would be in housing associated with a child with a blood lead level of 45 ug/dl who resides outside the nine zip code area. The fourth eligibility level would be pre-1950 housing in the target area in which children 6 years of age and younger reside. 2 0 OMAHA LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM WORKPLAN In addition to assistance being provided to owners(owner-occupied and rental owners) of priority housing, eligibility will be based on: Income at or below 80%of median income for the area. Cost of lead hazard control not to exceed$8000 per unit. Owner acceptance of continued maintenance and for rental owners an agreement to continue to rent to low and very low income families with children under six years of age for five years. Participation in maintenance training program. During the enrollment process, property owners and tenants will be notified that the project does not involve displacement. The CBHOs will assure that for rental property to be considered, fifty-percent of the tenants have an income of 50%of the median income for the area or less. The other 50%may have an income at or below 80%of the median income for the area. • Participants in the project will be selected so that effective lead hazard controls can be accomplished in the most cost-effective manner.Program procedures will exclude post 1978 dwelling units, childless dwelling units, 0-bedroom dwelling units, and buildings with more than four units, and dwelling units with significant building code violations or structural damage. Dwelling units without heat, electricity, and water would have to meet affordable housing standards under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Program to be considered eligible for assistance. Three community meetings will be held to provide prospective eligible property owners and the community with information about the Omaha Project and eligibility requirements. Families and property owners for dwelling units where a child has been identified with an elevated blood lead level at or exceeding 15 ug/dl will be notified of these meeting s and encouraged to attend. These meetings will be held during May at times and locations which will facilitate attendance. The three participating CBHOs will be responsible for receiving and processing grant and loan applications. They will determine income eligibility and ownership. After determining initial eligibility, a referral will be made to DCHD and the Construction Manager to provide a risk assessment and determine condition of the property to be enrolled. If the property meets the criteria listed above, the Project Manager will forward application and information to the HCD Loan Section. The HCD Loan Manager will review each grant and loan application and, if appropriate, recommend approval to the Loan/Grant Committee. The Loan/Grant Committee will review the application and information and make a decision regarding enrollment in the project. Upon the enrollment of a project, the City of Omaha (through the HCD) will provide a grant or loan to the property owner. The Construction Manager will be responsible for preparing the work write- ups,putting the project out for bid, and overseeing the construction work. The property owner will be responsible for entering into the construction contract with the contractor. 3 0 OMAHA LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM WORKPLAN—Page 2,REV. 5.1.00 It is anticipated that a total of 330 dwelling units will receive lead-based paint hazard controls by the end of the project. 210 units will receive interim controls and 120 will receive abatement including the replacement of windows. The enrollment process should take fifteen to twenty working days depending upon the availability of required information. SELECTION OF SUBGRANTEES/SUBCONTRACTORS Presently,there are three rehabilitation community-based housing organizations providing services in the targeted area: 1) Holy Name Housing Corporation(HNHC) is a successful nonprofit developer of low- cost housing started in 1982 as a grass roots effort by neighborhood residents in an area located in northeast Omaha. HNHC has a history of working with old housing (pre-1950) that is generally in poor condition. HNHC has worked with its own construction crew, with General Contractors, and has also served as a General Contractor. HNHC established a consortium of ten local lenders (Omaha 100) who provides below market rate mortgages, provides home ownership counseling and assists new homeowners with maintenance problems for a year after purchase. HNHC works in partnership with other community development corporations and has provided start-up technical assistance to other housing development organizations. 2) Housing and Neighborhood Developers (HANDS) formerly known as United Ministries of Northeast Omaha is a neighborhood-based multi-service organization that devotes a significant allocation of its resources to the production of affordable housing. Its primary focus is the acquisition, rehabilitation and sale of single-family homes in an area of Northeast Omaha, which is primarily pre 1950 housing. "HANDS"provides homebuyer training and counseling. Homeowner financing is provided by Omaha 100 and through the City of Omaha. 3) South Omaha Affordable Housing Corporation(SOAH) was established as a nonprofit community development corporation in July of 1991 with direct assistance from HNHC. SOAH helped rehabilitate dwelling units in South Omaha with the assistance of a General Contractor. SOAH provides homebuyer counseling and services to new homeowners, including language translation services. SOAH works primarily in five of the targeted zip code areas where a high percentage of older homes(pre-1950) exist. The three participating CBHOs have participated in planning for the grant application and subsequent planning for implementation. They decided that the HNHC and SOAH organizations would accept and process loan and grant applications, establish eligibility, and process the loan contracts and grant agreements. "HANDS"was willing to provide the hiring and oversight of the Construction Manager for the project. 4 el OMAHA LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM WORKPLAN All three organizations will assist in the recruitment of contractors and workers in the project area to receive certification and additional training and provide the lead-based paint control activities. Criteria for contractors who will bid on the work will be certification, experience, etc. The CBHOs and Project Manager will establish this criteria and make it available to community-based contractors. They are presently working with a representative from United Minority Contractors Association of Nebraska regarding criteria for contractors and to develop recruitment procedures. The development of contractors and workers in the targeted areas with lead-based paint hazard control skills will be promoted through the recruitment of community-based contractors and workers to be trained and certified as lead abatement contractors, supervisors, and workers. While these skills will be primarily developed for the implementation of the Omaha project,they will assist the contractors in providing lead-based paint hazard controls to other property owners. In addition,the above persons will receive training in maintenance of property so it remains free of lead-based paint hazards. They will be available to provide this service to property owners especially those with rental property. It is anticipated that 25 contractors, supervisors, and workers will be trained and certified through funding from this grant. Certification training will be provided between April 15 and May 15. In addition, Dennis Livingston will be providing hands-on training following the certification training. The train-the-trainer effort to be conducted by DCHD's CLPP Program will assist persons in providing health education for the prevention and intervention of childhood lead poisoning. A minimum of 20 persons will receive this training which would assist them in obtaining health education or community advocate positions with community organizations. PROCEDURES FOR LEAD HAZARD IDENTIFICATION DCHD CLPP Program's Lead Technicians conduct the initial inspection of a dwelling unit when a child has been identified with an elevated blood lead level> 15 ug/dl who resides in the unit. These initial inspections are completed within two weeks of identification of the child. The inspection evaluates the sources and exposure pathways in accordance with HUD Guidelines. Lead Technicians use an XRF to determine lead-based paint where chipping or peeling paint is found and in areas considered to be strike areas which could create lead dust. All interior rooms and the exterior of the dwelling are tested for lead-based paint. Dust samples will be taken in strike areas to determine if there are dust hazards present. The Project Director will be certified as a Risk Assessor and will be able to determine where lead-based paint presents a lead hazard and make recommendations for controlling the identified lead hazards. Dust wipes and paint chips(if necessary)will be collected in accordance with HUD guidelines and analysis will be performed by MACS Lab Inc., an NLLAP accredited laboratory. In evaluating exposure IC— OMAHA LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM WORKPLAN—Page 2,REV. 5.1.00 pathways, if the family identify a source pathway suggesting soil as an exposure route, soil samples will be taken in bare soil sites where young children play. Soil samples will be sent to the same accredited laboratory as dust wipes. All homes being considered for lead hazard control work will receive a risk assessment and lead based paint inspection at the same time. The risk assessment will be performed by the Project Director. Inspections will be performed by DCHD Lead Technicians. See Table Below.

It is anticipated that 120 units will receive abatement including the replacement of windows. The remaining 210 units will receive interim controls and property owners will receive maintenance training to assist in keeping the lead-based paint hazards controlled. Upon notification of preliminary approval for a grant or loan by the Project Manager,the Construction Manager will initiate the bid process notifying all eligible contractors of bid walk- through date and time. No bids can be made unless contractor participates in the bid walk- through. Bids will be submitted five days after walk-through. An award will be made to the lowest and best bid. The CBHO will be responsible for conducting the actual grant or loan closing based on the bid amount. The Construction Manager will issue a proceed order to start within ten days from closing date. The Construction Manager will be responsible for negotiating the start date between the property owner/tenant and the contractor. A Community Advocate for HANDS will assist the Construction Manager by working with the family to facilitate their vacating the premises during work (daily for interim controls and overnights for abatement). The Community Advocate will inform property owners/tenants of their responsibilities during the work and will request stipends for families during the work from the CBHO. The Community Advocate will notify the CLPP Coordinator of the start date for work and the need for a blood draw for involved children. The Community Advocate will be in touch with the family/property owner throughout the work process to assist with any problems or anticipated problems. When it is necessary to relocate the family on a temporary basis due to inability to access necessary areas of the dwelling during interim control work or during abatement work,the Community Advocate will assist the family in temporary relocation with extended family or in a local motel. The contractor awarded the bid will perform the lead-based paint hazard control work as specified by the risk assessor and Construction Manager. Level I, Level II, Level III, and Window replacement work will be performed in accordance with HUD Guidelines by certified contractors, supervisors, and workers. Upon completion of work,the Project Director will perform clearance wipes and the project work will be reviewed by the Construction Manager and Project Manager to determine that specifications were met. It is anticipated that 210 units will receive Level II and I work within a three-day period. The remaining 120 unites will receive Level III and/or Window Replacement and may take five days to perform work. Upon receipt of clearance testing data that meets HUD criteria, the Project Manager will notify the Construction Manager who will notify the family/property owner and have them sign off on completed work. A reimbursement request will then be made by the CBHO for payment to the contractor. The Project Manager will develop procedures and forms for the performance of lead-based paint hazard control activities by May 31, 2000. 7 41 OMAHA LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM WORKPLAN—Page 2,REV. 5.1.00 DCHD's CLPP Program Lead Technicians will monitor the enrolled property on a six month basis for five years to ensure that the property owner maintains the dwelling to control any lead- based paint hazards and to ensure in the case of rental property owners that the dwelling unit is rented to low and very low income families with children under six years of age. SCREENING AND HEALTH MEASURES Approximately 1320 children six years old and under residing in these 330 dwelling units will be provided case management services by DCHD's CLPP Program. Case Management will include • Monitoring of blood lead levels per CDC Guidelines. • Referrals t o physicians for medical treatment when required. • Referrals for nutritional assessment and counseling- WIC if enrolled or eligible. • Provision of information regarding lead poisoning, its sources, effects on children, and how to reduce exposure. • Coordination with the child's primary health care provider. The Douglas County Health Department Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program screens over 50%of children in Douglas County each year for blood lead analysis. Physicians and other health care clinics screen the remainder of approximately 4,500 children per year. All blood lead analysis results are required by state law to be reported to the health department. The DCHD CLPPP will provide the grant program with screening data and address data for the purpose of identifying target housing which may require lead hazard control activity. The DCHD CLPPP program exceeds CDC guidelines for Environmental Case Management by intervening in the home when a child is identified with one confirmed blood lead level of 15 ug/dl or greater. This practice will continue in the Lead Hazard Control Project. The DCHD Case Manager will receive the referral for a blood screen from the Community Advocate when a date for lead hazard control work is established and is imminent. These screens will be done within ten days of the lead hazard control work starting. These screens will provide the grant project with timely blood lead level data on the children just prior to the onset of lead hazard control work. The Case Manager will receive information when the work is completed and will schedule a blood draw six weeks after work is completed. The Case Manager can make a referral for deep cleaning of the dwelling unit upon consultation with the Lead Technician and Risk Assessor especially when the work is not being scheduled in the near future. This should reduce the child's exposure while awaiting the lead- based paint hazard work. 8 OMAHA LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM WORKPLAN The Case Management services will be provided on an ongoing basis throughout the duration of the grant. COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND OUTREACH During the grant period, 75 community-based educational or training sessions will be held with approximately 750 participants. The three participating CBHOs will facilitate these sessions by fmding a location for the session and informing the appropriate members of the community of the educational or training sessions which will be provided by DCHD staff. Forums will be held to determine the focus of the educational sessions to better meet the needs of the residents of the targeted communities. The Project Manager in collaboration with the CLPP Program Coordinator and representatives of the CBHOs will develop procedures and educational/training materials for these sessions. Community-based organizations providing early childhood programs, health care, and social services will be invited to assist in the development of the focus of these sessions. These procedures should be developed by May 31, 2000 and sessions scheduled and provided throughout the duration of the grant. The CLPP Program Coordinator with assistance from the Project Director and Project Manager will develop a train-the-trainer program for community agencies and organizations providing services to young children and their families in the targeted communities. The trainers will then be available to provide information and education regarding childhood lead poisoning to the consumers of their services. A manual and educational materials will be provided to each trainer participating. It is anticipated that this program should be developed by June 30, 2000 and provided by the CLPP Program Coordinator to 20 community agencies. A Lead Safe Omaha Coalition has been established and will be advocating for the prevention of childhood lead poisoning. DCHD will participate as a member of the LSOC and provide information and data as requested.

S .205 Basis for determining Federal awards expended. .. (a) =='Deter*n'n'na- Federal awards expended. :The determination of when an award is- expended- should be based on :when the activity_2, a a 10 • • related to the award occurs. Generally, the activity pertains to events that require the non-Federal entity to comply with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements, such as : expenditure/expense transactions associated with grants, cost-reimbursement contracts, cooperative agreements, and direct appropriations; the disbursement of funds passed through to subrecipients; the use of loan proceeds under loan and loan guarantee programs; the receipt of property; the receipt of surplus property; the receipt or use of program income; the distribution or consumption of food commodities; the disbursement of amounts entitling the non-Federal entity to an interest subsidy; and, the period when insurance is in force. (b) Loan and loan guarantees (loans) . Since the Federal Government is at risk for loans until the debt is repaid, the following guidelines shall be used to calculate the value of Federal awards expended under loan programs, except as noted in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section: • (1) Value of new loans made or received during the fiscal year; plus (2) Balance of loans from previous years for which the Federal Government imposes continuing compliance requirements; plus (3) Any interest subsidy, cash, or administrative • cost allowance received. (c) Loan and loan guarantees (loansl at institutions of nigher education. When loans are made to students of an institution of higher education but the institution does not make the loans, then only the value of loans made during the year shall be considered Federal awards expended in that year. The • balance of loans for previous years is not included as Federal awards expended because the lender accounts for the prior balances . (d) prior loan and loan guarantees (loans) . Loans, the proceeds of which were received and expended in prior-years, are not considered Federal awards expended under this part when the laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements pertaining to such loans impose no continuing compliance. requirements other than to repay. the_ loans . • (e) 'Endowment funds . The cumulative balance of: Federal awards for endowment funds which are federally restricted are consider=e-d=awards expended- in each year in which the funds are, still restricted. • 11 • • (f) Free rent. Free rent received by itself is not considered a Federal award expended under this part. However, free rent received as part of an award to carry out a Federal program shall be included in determining Federal awards expended and subject to audit under this part. • (g) Valuinc non-cash assistance. Federal non-cash assistance, such as free rent, food stamps, food commodities, donated property, or donated surplus property, shall be valued at fair market value at the time of receipt or the assessed value provided by the Federal agency. (h) M2 dicare. Medicare payments to a non-Federal entity for providing patient care services to Medicare eligible individuals are not considered Federal awards expended under this part. • (i) Medicaid. Medicaid payments to a subrecipient for providing patient care services to Medicaid eligible individuals are not considered Federal awards expended under this part unless a State requires the funds to be treated as Federal awards expended because reimbursement is on a cost-reimbursement basis . (j ) Certain loans provided by the National Credit Union ?Administration. For purposes of this part, loans made from the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and the Central Liquidity Facility that are funded by contributions from insured institutions are not considered Federal awards expended. S .210 Subrecipient and vendor determinations. (a) General. An auditee may be a recipient; a subrecipient, and a vendor. Federal awards expended as a recipient or a subrecipient would be subject to audit, under this . part. The payments received for goods or services provided as a vendor would not be considered Federal awards. The guidance in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section should be considered in determining whether payments constitute a Federal award or a payment for goods and services. (b) Federal award. Characteristics indicative of a Federal award received by a subrecipient are when the organization: (1) Determines who is eligible . to receive what Federal financial assistance; (2) Has its performance measured against whether the - objectives of the Federal program are met; • 12 • (3) Has responsibility for programmatic decision making; • (4) Has responsibility for adherence to applicable Federal program compliance requirements; and (5) Uses the Federal funds to carry out a program of the organization as compared to providing goods or services for a program of the pass-through entity. (C) -Payment for goods and services. Characteristics indicative of a payment for goods and services received by a vendor are when the organization: (1) Provides the goods and services within normal business operations; (2) Provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers; (3) Operates in' a competitive environment; (4) Provides. goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of the Federal program; and (5) Is not subject to compliance requirements of the Federal program. (d) Use of iudamer_t in making determination. There may be unusual circumstances or exceptions to the listed characteristics . In making the determination of whether a subrecipient or vendor relationship exists, the substance of the . relationship is more important than the form of the agreement. It is not expected that all of the characteristics will be present and judgment should:be used in determining whether an entity is a subrecipient or vendor. (e) For-profit subrecipient. Since this part .does not apply to for-profit subrecipients, the pass-through entity is responsible for establishing requirements, as necessary, to ensure compliance by for-profit subrecipients. The contract with the for-profit subrecipient should describe applicable compliance requirements and the for-profit subrecipient's compliance responsibility. Methods to ensure compliance for Federal awards made to for-profit subrecipients may include pre-award audits, . monitoring during the contract, and: post-award audits. - " (f) Comciiance responsibility for vendors . In most cases, the auditee ' s compliance responsibility for vendors is only to 13 ensure that the procurement, receipt, and payment for goods and services comply with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or - rant agreements. Program compliance zecp:iTa eats normally do not pass through to vendors. However, the auditee is responsible for ensuring compliance for vendor transactions which are structured such that the vendor is responsible for program compliance or the vendor' s records must be reviewed to determine program compliance. Also, when these vendor transactions relate to a major program, the scope of the audit shall include determining whether these transactions are in compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements. S .215 Relation to other audit requirements. (a) 71udi t under this part in lieu of other audits . An audit made in accordance with this part shall be in lieu of any financial audit required under individual Federal awards .

Any additional audits shall be planned and performed in such a way as to build upon work performed by other auditors . (b) federal agency to pay for additional audits . A Federal agency that conducts or contracts for additional audits shall, consistent with other applicable laws and regulations, arrange • for funding the full cost of such additional audits . (c) Request for a program to be audited as a major program. A Federal agency may request an auditee to have a particular Federal program audited as a major program in lieu of the Federal agency conducting or arranging for the additional audits. To allow for planning, such requests should be made at least 180 days prior to the end of the fiscal year to be audited. The auditee, after consultation with its auditor, should promptly respond to such request by informing the Federal agency whether the program would otherwise be audited as a major program using the risk-based audit approach described in S .520 and, if not, • the estimated incremental cost. The Federal agency shall then promptly-confirm to the auditee whether_ it wants the program audited as a major program. If the program is to be audited -as.-a : = major program based upon this Federal agency request, and the Federal agency agrees to pay the full incremental costs, then-the 14 • auditee shall have the program audited as a major program. A pass-through entity may use the provisions of this paragraph for a .subrecip_ert. .220 Frequency of audits. Except for the provisions for biennial audits provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, audits required by this part shall be performed annually. Any biennial audit shall cover both years within the biennial period.

(b) Any non-profit organization that had biennial audits for all biennial periods ending between July 1, 1992, and January 1, 1995, is permitted to undergo its audits pursuant to this part biennially. S .225 Sanctions. • No audit costs may be charged to Federal awards when audits • required by this part have not been made or have been made but not in accordance with this part. In cases of continued • inability or unwillingness to have an audit conducted in accordance with this part, Federal agencies and pass-through entities shall take appropriate action using sanctions such as: • (a) Withholding a percentage of Federal awards until the audit is completed satisfactorily; • (b) Withholding or disallowing overhead costs; (c) Suspending Federal awards until the audit is conducted; or • (d) Terminating the Federal award. S .230 Audit costs. (a) . Allowable costs . Unless prohibited by_law, the cost of - audits made- in accordance with the provisions of_this,_part _are �,, allowable charges to Federal awards.

(2) The cost of auditing a non-Federal entity which has Federal awards expended of less than $300, 000 per year and is thereby exempted under § .200 (d) from having an audit conducted under this part. However, this does not prohibit a pass-through entity from charging Federal awards for the cost of limited scope audits to monitor its subrecipients in accordance with S .400 (d) (3) , provided the subrecipient does not have a single audit. For purposes of this part, limited scope audits .only include agreed-upon procedures engagements conducted in . accordance with either the AICPA' s generally accepted auditing standards or attestation standards, that are paid for and arranged by a pass-through entity and address only one or more of • the following types of compliance requirements : activities allowed or unallowed; allowable costs/cost principles; eligibility; matching, level of effort, earmarking; and, reporting. • § .235 Program-specific audits. . .

This report shall describe the scope of testing of internal control and the results of the tests, and, where applicable, refer to the separate schedule of findings and questioned costs described in paragraph (d) of this section. (c) A report on compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements . This report shall also include an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) as to whether the auditee complied with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements which could have a direct and.material effect on each major program, and, where applicable, refer to the separate schedule of • findings and questioned costs described in paragraph (d) of this section. (d) A-schedule of findings and questioned costs which;.shall,y ,_•,; , include -the following= three components: �._., _ 34 • • • (1) A summary of the auditor' s results which shall include: (i) The type of report the auditor issued on the financial statements of the auditee (i. e. , unqualified opinion, qualified opinion, adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion) ; (ii) Where applicable, a statement that reportable conditions in internal control were disclosed by the audit of the financial statements and whether any such conditions were material weaknesses; (iii) A statement as to whether the audit disclosed any noncompliance which is material to the financial statements of the auditee; (iv) Where applicable, a statement that reportable conditions in internal control over major programs were disclosed by the audit and whether any such conditions were material weaknesses; (v) The type of report the auditor issued on compliance for major programs (i..e . , unqualified opinion, qualified opinion, adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion) ; (vi) A statement as to whether the audit disclosed any audit findings which the auditor is required to report under 5 .510 (a) ; (vii) An identification of major programs; (viii) The dollar threshold used , to distinguish between Type A and Type 3 programs, as described in 5 .520 (b) ; and • • • (ix) A statement as to whether the auditee qualified as a low-risk auditee under § .530.

(i) Audit findings (e.g. , internalcontroi - , findings;- -compliance findings, questioned costs, or fraud). which relate tothe same -issue should be presented •as_a. single :adit a� 35 1111 • finding. Where practical, audit findings should be organized by Federal agency or pass-through entity. (ii) Audit findings which relate to both the financial statements and Federal awards, as reported under paragraphs (d) (2) and (d) (3) of this section, respectively, should be reported in both sections of the schedule. However, the reporting in one section of the schedule may be in summary form with a reference to a detailed reporting in the other section of the schedule. S .510 Audit findings. (a) Audit findings reported. The auditor shall report the following as audit findings in a schedule of findings and 4 questioned costs : (1) Reportable conditions in internal control over major programs . The auditor' s determination of whether a deficiency in internal control is a reportable condition for the purpose of reporting an audit finding is in relation to a type of compliance requirement for a major program or an audit objective identified in the compliance supplement. The auditor shall identify reportable conditions which are individually or cumulatively material weaknesses. (2) Material noncompliance with the provisions of- laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements related to a major program. The auditor' s determination of whether a • noncompliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements is material for the purpose of • reporting an audit finding is in relation to a type of compliance requirement for a major program or an audit objective identified in the compliance supplement. • (3) •Known questioned costs which are greater than $10, 000 for a type of compliance requirement for a major program. Known 'questioned costs are those specifically identified by the auditor. In evaluating the effect of questioned costs on the opinion on compliance, the auditor considers the best estimate of total costs questioned (likely questioned costs) , not just the questioned costs specifically identified (known questioned costs) . The auditor shall also report known questioned costs when likely questioned costs are greater than $10, 000 for a type of compliance requirement for a major program. In reporting questioned costs, the auditor shall include information to provide proper perspective for judging the prevalence and consequences of the questioned costs. 36 • (4) Known questioned costs which are greater than $10, 000 for a Federal program which is not audited as a major program. Except for audit f.oilcw-up, the auditor is not required under this part to perform audit procedures for such a Federal program; therefore, the auditor will normally not find questioned costs for a program which is not audited as a major program. However, if the auditor does become aware of questioned costs for a Federal program which is not audited as a major program (e.g. , as part of audit follow-up or other audit procedures) and the known questioned costs are greater than $10, 000, then the auditor shall report this as an audit finding. (5) The circumstances concerning why the auditor's report on compliance for major programs is other than an unqualified opinion, unless such circumstances are otherwise . reported as audit findings in the schedule of findings and • questioned costs for Federal awards. (6) Known fraud affecting a Federal award, unless . such fraud is otherwise reported as an audit finding in the schedule of findings and questioned costs for Federal awards. This paragraph does not require the auditor to make an additional reporting when the auditor confirms that the fraud was reported P outside of the auditor' s reports under the direct reporting •requirements of GAGAS. (7) Instances where the results of audit follow-up . procedures disclosed that the summary schedule of prior audit findings prepared by the auditee in accordance with § .315 (b) materially misrepresents the status of any prior audit finding. (b) pudit finding detail . Audit findings shall be presented in Sufficient detail for the auditee to' prepare a corrective action plan and take corrective action and for Federal agencies and pass-through entities to arrive at a management :' decision. The following specific information shall be included, as applicable, in audit findings: (1) Federal program and specific Federal award identification including the CFDA title and number, Federal award number and year, name of Federal agency, and name of the applicable pass-through entity. When information, such as the CFDA title and number or Federal award ni'mher, is not available, the auditor shall provide the best information available to describe. the Federal award. i 1. r_ __. _ _ . (2) The criteria or specific requirement upon which�� the audit finding is based, including statutory, regulatory, or • other citation. 37 1110 • (3) The condition found, including facts that support the deficiency identified in the audit finding. . (4) Identification of questioned costs and how they were computed. (5) Information to provide proper perspective for judging the prevalence and consequences of the audit findings, such as whether the audit findings represent an isolated instance or a systemic problem. Where appropriate, instances identified shall be related to the universe and the number of cases examined and be quantified in terms of dollar value. (6) The possible asserted effect to provide sufficient information to the auditee and Federal agency, or pass-through entity in the case of a subrecipient, to permit them • to determine the cause and effect to facilitate prompt and proper • corrective action. (7) Recommendations to prevent future occurrences of the deficiency identified in the audit finding. (8) Views of responsible officials of the auditee when there is disagreement with the audit findings, to the extent practical. • (c) Reference numbers . Each audit finding in the schedule of findings and questioned costs shall include a reference number to allow for easy referencing of the audit findings during follow-up. • S .515 Audit working papers. (a) Retention of working papers . The auditor shall retain working papers and reports for a minimum of. three years after the date of issuance of the auditor's report (s) to the auditee, unless •the auditor is notified in writing by the cognizant agency for audit, oversight agency for audit, or pass-through entity to extend the retention period. When the auditor is aware that the Federal awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting an audit finding, the auditor shall contact the parties contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destruction of the working papers and reports. (b) , Access to working papers. Audit working papers shall be made available upon-request. to the cognizant or oversight===="-_ -. agency for auditor its designee, a Federal agency providing direct or7indirect_funding, or GAO at the completion of the = _=� ft • audit, as part of a quality review, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities consistent with the .purposes of this ipart. Access to workf_ng papers includes the right of Federal agencies to obtain copies of working papers, as is reasonable and necessary. S .520 Major program determination. (a) General . The auditor shall use a risk-based approach to determine which Federal programs are major programs. This risk-based approach shall include consideration of: Current and prior audit experience, oversight by Federal agencies and pass- • through entities, and the inherent risk of the Federal program. The process in paragraphs (b) through (i) of this section shall be followed. (b) step 1 . (1) The auditor shall identify the larger Federal programs, which shall be labeled Type A programs. Type A programs are defined as Federal programs with Federal awards expended during the audit period exceeding the larger of: (i) $300, 000 or three percent ( . 03) of total Federal awards expended in the case of an auditee for which total Federal awards expended equal or exceed $300, 000 but are less than or equal to $100 million. (ii) $3 million or three-tenths of one percent ( . 003) of total Federal awards expended in the case of an auditee for which total Federal awards expended exceed $100 million but are less than or equal to $10 billion. (iii) $30 million or 15 hundredths of one percent • ( . 0015) of total Federal awards expended in the case of an 1 ) aud itee for which total Federal awards expe nded exceed $10 billion. (2) Federal programs not labeled Type A under Ty pe B section sh all be labeled ara ra h b 1) of th is paragraph P programs . • (3) The inclusion of large loan and loan guarantees (loans) should not result in the exclusion of other programs as Type A programs. When a Federal program providing loans significantly .affects the number or size of Type_,A .programs_, - auditor hall- consider- this Federal program as a iType;A prog s ram ,N T; ,,f --- and exclude its values in determining other Type _A: p`rograms. - _ _ __ 39 • • (4 ) For biennial audits permitted under S .220, the determination of Type A and Type B programs shall be based upon the Federal a i. ds •expended during the two-year period. (c) step 2. (1) The auditor shall identify Type A programs which are low-risk. For a Type A program to be considered low-risk, it shall have been audited as a major program in at least one of the two most recent audit periods (in the most recent audit period in the case of a biennial audit) , and, in the most recent audit period, it shall have had no audit findings under S .510 (a) . However, the auditor may use judgment and consider that audit findings from questioned costs under § .510 (a) (3) and 5 .510 (a) (4) , fraud under S .510 (a) (6) , and audit follow-up for the summary schedule of prior audit findings under S .510 (a) (7) do not preclude the . Type A program from being low-risk. The auditor shall consider: the criteria in S .525 (c) , S .525 (d) (1) , S .525 (d) (2) , and S .525 (d) (3) ; the results of audit follow-up; whether any changes in personnel or systems affecting a Type A program have significantly increased risk; and apply professional judgment in . determining whether a Type A program is low-risk. (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (c) (1) of this section, OMB may approve a Federal awarding agency' s request that a Type A program at certain recipients may not be considered low-risk. For example, it may be necessary for a large Type A program to be audited as major each year at particular recipients to allow the • Federal agency to comply with the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 (31 U.S.C. 3515) . The Federal agency shall notify the recipient and, if known, the auditor at least 180 days prior to the end of the fiscal year to be audited of OMB' s approval. (d) step 3 . (1) The auditor shall identify Type B programs which are high-risk using professional judgment and the criteria in S .525. However, should the auditor select Option 2 under Step 4 (paragraph (e) (2) (i) (B) of this section) , the auditor is not required to identify more high-risk Type B programs than the number of low-risk Type A programs . Except for known reportable conditions in internal control or compliance problems as discussed in S .525 (b) (1) , S .525 (b) (2) , and S .525 (c) (1) , a single criteria in 'S .525 would seldom cause a Type B program to be considered high-risk. (2) The. auditor is not expected to perform risk assessments on relatively small Federal programs. Therefore, 'the auditor is only required to perform risk assessments on Type B programs that exceed the larger of: • 40 • • (i) $100, 000 or three-tenths of one percent ( . 003) of total Federal awards expended when the auditee has less than or equal rta $100 million in total Federal awards expended. • (ii) $300, 000 or three-hundredths of one percent ( . 0003) of total Federal awards expended when the auditee has more than $100 million in total Federal awards expended. (e) Step 4 . At a minimum, the auditor shall audit all of the following as major programs: (1) All Type A programs, except the auditor. may exclude any Type A programs identified as low-risk under Step 2 (paragraph- (c) (1) of this section) . • (2) (i) High-risk Type B programs as identified under either of the following two options: (A) Qption 1. At least one half of the Type B programs identified as high-risk under Step 3 (paragraph (d) of . this section) , except this paragraph (e) (2) (i) (A) does not require the auditor to audit more high-risk Type B programs than the number of low-risk Type A programs identified as low-risk • under Step 2. (B) Option 2. One high-risk Type B program for each Type. A program identified as low-risk under Step 2. (ii) When identifying which high-risk Type B programs to audit as major under either Option 1 or 2 in paragraph (e) (2) (i) (A) or (B) , the auditor is encouraged to use an approach which provides an opportunity for different high-risk Type B programs to be audited as major over a period of time. (3) Such additional programs as may be necessary to comply with the percentage of coverage rule discussed in • paragraph (f) of this section. This paragraph (e) (3) may require the auditor to audit more programs as major than the number of Type A programs. (f) Percentage of coverace rule. The auditor shall audit as major programs Federal programs with Federal awards expended that, in the aggregate, encompass at least _50 percent of total . Federal awards expended. If the auditee meets the criteria in S _.530 for a low-risk auditee, the& auditor need only .audit major programs Federal programs with; Federal awards expended - } 41 • • of total that, in the aggregate, encompass at least 25 percent Federal awards expended. (g) Documentation of risk. The auditor shall document in the working papers the risk analysis process used in determining major programs. (h) Auditor' s judgment. When the major program determination was performed and documented in accordance with this part, the auditor' s judgment in applying the risk-based approach to determine major programs shall be presumed correct. Challenges by Federal agencies and pass-through entities shall only be for clearly improper use of the guidance. in this part. However, Federal agencies and pass-through entities may provide auditors guidance about the risk of a particular Federal program • and the auditor shall consider this guidance in determining major programs in audits not yet completed. (i) Deviation from use of risk criteria. For first-year audits, the auditor may elect to determine major programs as all Type A programs plus any Type B programs as necessary to meet the percentage of coverage rule discussed in paragraph (f) of this • section. Under this option, the auditor would not be required to . perform the procedures discussed in paragraphs (c) , (d) , and (e) of this section. (1) A first-year audit is the first year the entity is audited under this part or the first year of a change of • auditors . (2) To ensure that a frequent change of auditors would not preclude audit of high-risk Type B programs, this election for first-year audits may not be used by an auditee more than once in every three years. § .525 Criteria for Federal program risk. (a) General . The auditor's determination should be based t` on an overall evaluation of the risk of noncompliance occurring which could be material to the Federal program. The auditor. • shall use auditor judgment and consider criteria, such as described in paragraphs (b) , (c) , and (d) of this section, to identify risk in Federal programs. Also, as part of the risk analysis, the auditor may wish to discuss a particular Federal program with auditee management and the Federal agency or pass- through entity. _ • _ • • 42 Cl • (b) CurTent and prior audit experience (1) Weaknesses in internal control over Federal programs would indicate higher . risk_. Consrntion should given tc the control environment over Federal programs and such factors as the expectation of management' s adherence to applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements and the competence . and experience of personnel . who administer the Federal programs . (i) A Federal program administered under multiple internal control structures may have higher risk. When assessing risk in a large single audit, the auditor shall consider whether weaknesses are isolated in a single operating unit (e.g. , one college campus) or pervasi•re throughout the entity. (ii) When significant parts of .a Federal program are passed through to subrecipients, a weak system for monitoring subrecipients would indicate higher risk. (iii) The extent to which computer processing is used to administer Federal programs, as well as the complexity of that processing, should be considered by the auditor in assessing risk. New and recently modified computer systems may also indicate risk. (2) Prior audit findings would indicate higher risk, particularly when the situations identified in the audit findings could have a significant impact on a Federal program or have not been corrected. (3) Federal programs not recently audited as major Tprograms recently risk than Federal o programs may be of higherp g audited as major programs without audit findings. (c) Oversight exercised by Federal agencies and pass- , through entities . (1) Oversight exercised by Federal agencies or pass-through entities could indicate risk. For example, recent monitoring or other reviews performed by an oversight entity which disclosed no significant problems would indicate lower risk. However, monitoring which disclosed significant • problems would indicate higher risk. (2) Federal agencies, with the concurrence of OMB, may identify Federal programs which are higher risk. OMB plans to provide this identification in the cempliance .supplement.... (d) Inherit risk of the Federal program. (1) The nature of a Federal program may indicate risk. Consideration should be given to the complexity of the program and the extent to which 43 11111 the Federal program contracts for goods and services. For example, Federal programs that disburse funds through third party contracts :or heve eligibility criteria may be of higher risk. Federal programs primarily involving staff payroll costs may have a high-risk for time and effort reporting, but otherwise be at low-risk. (2) The phase of a Federal program in its life cycle at the Federal agency may indicate risk. For example, a new Federal program with new or interim regulations may have higher risk than an established program with time-tested regulations. Also, significant changes in Federal programs, laws, regulations, or the provisions of contracts or grant agreements may increase risk. (3) The phase of a Federal program in its life cycle z at the auditee may indicate risk. For example, during the first and last years that an auditee participates in a Federal program, the risk may be higher due to start-up or closeout of program activities and staff. (4) Type B programs with larger Federal awards expended would be of higher risk .than programs with substantially smaller Federal awards expended. • S .530 Criteria for a low-risk auditee. • An auditee which meets all of the following conditions for each of the preceding two years (or, in the case of biennial audits, preceding two audit periods) shall qualify as a low-risk auditee and be eligible for reduced audit coverage in accordance with. S .520: (a) Single audits were performed on an annual basis in accordance with the provisions of this part. A non-Federal entity that has biennial audits does not qualify as a low-risk auditee, unless agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. (b) The auditor's opinions on the financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards were unqualified. However, the cognizant or oversight agency for audit may judge that an opinion qualification does not affect the management of Federal awards and provide a waiver. (c) There were no deficiencies in internal control which were identified as material weaknesses under the requirements of GAGAS . However, the cognizant or oversight agency for audit may 44 s •• • • judge that any identified material weaknesses do not affect the management of Federal awards and provide a waiver. (d) None of the Federal programs had audit findings from • any of the following in either of the preceding two years (or, in the case of biennial audits, preceding two audit periods) in which they were classified as Type A programs : (1) Internal control deficiencies which were identified as material weaknesses; (2) Noncompliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements which have a 'material effect on the Type A program; or • (3) Known or likely questioned costs that exceed five percent of the total Federal awards expended for a Type A program during the year.
