CILS CORE SERVICES
CILS provides many services, including the five core services. These services are offered to consumers (individuals with disabilities) to assist them in living as independently as possible.
These five core services include: Information and Referral (|&R); Independent Living Skills: Peer Counseling: Individual and Systems Advocacy: and Transition
Information and Referral (I1&R) - CILS maintains comprehensive files and resources on locally available accessible housing, transportation, employment opportunities, personal care attendants, interpreters, readers, recreation and personal experiences from CILS staff members. |&R is a service CILS provides to both individuals with and without disabilities.
Independent Living Skills - CILS provides skills training courses required a person with a disability needs in order to live more independently. These skills may include using public transportation, managing a budget, assistive technology training, coping with insensitive and discriminatory behavior, and supervision of personal care providers.
Peer Counseling - CILS offers peer counseling to individual with disabilities. Peer counseling allows an individual with a disability to work with other individuals with disabilities who are independent members of the local community. The interaction allows for exploring options, solving problems, making adjustments to a newly acquired disability, discussing changes in living arrangements, and learning to use community services more effectively.
Advocacy - CILS provides two types of advocacy: Individual and Systems. Individual advocacy involves staff members working with individuals with disabilities to obtain support services from other community agencies. Systems advocacy involves staff, board members, and volunteers initiating efforts toward making changes in the community to make it easier for individuals with disabilities to live independently. These changes may affect legislation, policy, housing, business, transportation, health care, employment opportunities, accessibility, or any other issue affecting the ability of an individual with a disability to live independently.
Transition - This new core service has three components: (1) facilitating the transition of individuals with significant disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions; (2) assistance to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions (diversion assistance); (3) facilitating the transition of youth with significant disabilities who are eligible for Individualized Education Programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and who have completed their secondary education or otherwise left school to postsecondary life.
Other services provided by CILS include: Community Education; Outreach; Technical Assistance: Accessibility and Legal Issues; Recreational Activities; Interpreter Services; Computer Training; Home Modifications; Disability Awareness

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, that this uncodified ordinance is hereby enacted as follows:
This ordinance allows for variances from state laws and county ordinances in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents and employees from the spread of COVID-19 while still providing for government operations to continue during this state of emergency.

Sun, VA: Conceptual Redevelopment Plan for the Former Sun Motors Property
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) of Virginia Tech received a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Assessment grant to assess and help communities develop conceptual redevelopment plans for potentially contaminated sites in southwest Virginia communities.
The EPA Assessment Grant provides funding for CDAC to help communities determine if a site is contaminated (and if so, with what), and then to plan for the possible redevelopment of that site through conceptual design development. EPA does not require or commit communities to any cleanup if the community participates in this process.
EPA’s goals are to:
The EPA describes Brownfields as: “A brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.”
The purpose of this project was to work with a Stakeholders Committee to create a conceptual redevelopment plan for former Sun Motors property. The primary end-use of the property would be a solid waste transfer station operated by Russell County.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was conducted as part of this project and included a review of property records, a site inspection, and interviews with owners, occupants, neighbors and local government officials. Phase II sampling and laboratory analysis was not be conducted during this project.
• protect human health and the environment • sustain reuse • promote partnerships, and • strengthen the marketplace

Design Process
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the design process began with a virtual stakeholder input session on May 19, 2020. During that meeting the CDAC team and Russell County stakeholders discussed their broad vision for the former Sun Motors property to be utilized as a solid waste transfer station. A representative from Cardno, an environmental consultant for the CDAC, obtained drone and on-the-ground photography that was shared with the CDAC team. These site photographs and input from the stakeholders created a comprehensive foundation that the CDAC team used to develop two preliminary conceptual site master plans.
The CDAC team presented the preliminary design concept virtually on July 14, 2020. Following the presentation, stakeholders provided feedback about what they (dis)liked about each design. The final design concept was presented virtually on August 27, 2020.

FINAL DESIGN CONCEPT
Site Master Plan
Design Description
The final design concept redevelops the former Sun Motors property into a Russell County solid waste transfer station that provides increased access for County residents to trash collection services. The site master plan is mindful of vehicle/ pedestrian safety, user friendliness, aesthetic appearance, and environmental sensitivity.
General Site Layout The site is organized in a linear fashion where vehicles move through the site using a one-way traffic pattern. Patrons enter the site in the northwest corner of the site off of Rt. 63 and exit in the southeast corner. A small attendant building is located near the site entrance to help guide patrons to the appropriate disposal lane.
Disposal Lanes The site has three disposal areas. Each disposal area is summarized as the following:
• Trash compactor ◦ The trash compactor is the closest to site entrance. The trash
compactor is used for the disposal of household trash and small items. The compactor is fixed permanently in place but the container is removed periodically to be emptied off-site.
• Open-top containers via raised platform ◦ There are two open-top containers, one located on the north and
south side of the raised platform. The platform raises patrons 8 feet above the ground, on level with the top edge of the open-top container. The platform makes disposing items in the containers much easier, particularly for elder members of the community.
• Recycling and Cardboard ◦ Patrons do not go over the raised platform but instead go to either side
where recycling/cardboard containers are located on ground level ◦ There are two containers for both single-stream recycling and
cardboard. One set is located closest to Rt. 63 near the attendant building. The second set is located south of the open-top containers.
The entire site is limited to a one-way traffic pattern. If a patron needs to utilize more than one disposal lane, he/she must exit the site using the southeast exit and re-enter from the northwest entrance.
Stream Bank Stabilization There is a stream located on the southern boundary of the site. Over the years the stream channel has begun to compromise the road stability of Rt. 63. The condition of the stream is also a priority given that it flows directly into the Clinch River, one of North America’s most biologically diverse water systems. While the stream is located outside of the site boundary, Russell County leadership has expressed interest in

FINAL DESIGN CONCEPT
partnering with both the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and The Nature Conservancy to stabilize the stream channel, remediate any environmental concerns caused by previous land uses associated with the former Sun Motors business, and establish a high functioning riparian buffer. The following pages contain initial suggestions for plant material. The plant list should be refined after consulting with the various partners associated with the stream bank restoration effort.
Special Property Line Considerations Primary design elements are all located within the sites parcel lines, as determined by as derived from the Russell County GIS. The design does not comply with traditional setback standards along the southeast boundary with The Nature Conservancy property; including the security fence. A formal survey and proper due diligence must be conducted before any property transactions, construction activities, or environmental remediation takes place.

• Metropolitan cities
• Non-entitlement units, or smaller local governments
1.2. Which governments receive funds directly from Treasury?
Treasury will distribute funds directly to each eligible state, territory, metropolitan city,
county, or Tribal government. Smaller local governments that are classified as non-
entitlement units will receive funds through their applicable state government.
1.3. Are special-purpose units of government eligible to receive funds?
Special-purpose units of local government will not receive funding allocations; however,
a state, territory, local, or Tribal government may transfer funds to a special-purpose unit
of government. Special-purpose districts perform specific functions in the community,
such as fire, water, sewer or mosquito abatement districts.
1.4. How are funds being allocated to Tribal governments, and how will Tribal
governments find out their allocation amounts?
$20 billion of Fiscal Recovery Funds was reserved for Tribal governments. The
American Rescue Plan Act specifies that $1 billion will be allocated evenly to all eligible
Tribal governments. The remaining $19 billion will be distributed using an allocation
methodology based on enrollment and employment.
There will be two payments to Tribal governments. Each Tribal government’s first
payment will include (i) an amount in respect of the $1 billion allocation that is to be
divided equally among eligible Tribal governments and (ii) each Tribal government’s pro
rata share of the Enrollment Allocation. Tribal governments will be notified of their
allocation amount and delivery of payment 4-5 days after completing request for funds in
the Treasury Submission Portal. The deadline to make the initial request for funds is
June 21, 2021.1
In mid-June or shortly after completing the initial request for funds, Tribal governments
will receive an email notification to re-enter the Treasury Submission Portal to confirm or
amend their 2019 employment numbers that were submitted to the Department of the
Treasury for the CARES Act’s Coronavirus Relief Fund. The deadline to confirm
employment numbers is July 9, 2021. Treasury will calculate each Tribal government’s
pro rata share of the Employment Allocation for those Tribal governments that confirmed
or submitted amended employment numbers. In late-June, Treasury will communicate to
Tribal governments the amount of their portion of the Employment Allocation and the
anticipated date for the second payment.

Yes. All counties that are units of general local government will receive funds directly
from Treasury and should apply via the online portal. The list of county allocations is
available here.
1.6. My local government expected to be classified as a non-entitlement unit. Instead, it
was classified as a metropolitan city. Why? [5/27]
The American Rescue Plan Act defines, for purposes of the Coronavirus Local Fiscal
Recovery Fund (CLFRF), metropolitan cities to include those that are currently
metropolitan cities under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program
but also those cities that relinquish or defer their status as a metropolitan city for purposes
of the CDBG program. This would include, by way of example, cities that are principal
cities of their metropolitan statistical area, even if their population is less than 50,000. In
other words, a city that is eligible to be a metropolitan city under the CDBG program is
eligible as a metropolitan city under the CLFRF, regardless of how that city has elected to
participate in the CDBG program.
Unofficial allocation estimates produced by other organizations may have classified
certain local governments as non-entitlement units of local government. However, based
on the statutory definitions, some of these local governments should have been classified
as metropolitan cities.
1.7. In order to receive and use Fiscal Recovery Funds, must a recipient government
maintain a declaration of emergency relating to COVID-19? [6/23]
No. Neither the statute establishing the CSFRF/CLFRF nor the Interim Final Rule
requires recipients to maintain a local declaration of emergency relating to COVID-19.
- Eligible Uses – Responding to the Public Health Emergency / Negative
Economic Impacts
2.1. What types of COVID-19 response, mitigation, and prevention activities are
eligible?
A broad range of services are needed to contain COVID-19 and are eligible uses,
including vaccination programs; medical care; testing; contact tracing; support for
isolation or quarantine; supports for vulnerable populations to access medical or public
health services; public health surveillance (e.g., monitoring case trends, genomic
sequencing for variants); enforcement of public health orders; public communication
efforts; enhancement to health care capacity, including through alternative care facilities;
purchases of personal protective equipment; support for prevention, mitigation, or other
services in congregate living facilities (e.g., nursing homes, incarceration settings,
homeless shelters, group living facilities) and other key settings like schools; ventilation
improvements in congregate settings, health care settings, or other key locations;
enhancement of public health data systems; and other public health responses. Capital

investments in public facilities to meet pandemic operational needs are also eligible, such
as physical plant improvements to public hospitals and health clinics or adaptations to
public buildings to implement COVID-19 mitigation tactics.
2.2. If a use of funds was allowable under the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) to
respond to the public health emergency, may recipients presume it is also allowable
under CSFRF/CLFRF?
Generally, funding uses eligible under CRF as a response to the direct public health
impacts of COVID-19 will continue to be eligible under CSFRF/CLFRF, with the
following two exceptions: (1) the standard for eligibility of public health and safety
payrolls has been updated; and (2) expenses related to the issuance of tax-anticipation
notes are not an eligible funding use.
2.3. If a use of funds is not explicitly permitted in the Interim Final Rule as a response to
the public health emergency and its negative economic impacts, does that mean it is
prohibited?
The Interim Final Rule contains a non-exclusive list of programs or services that may be
funded as responding to COVID-19 or the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19
public health emergency, along with considerations for evaluating other potential uses of
Fiscal Recovery Funds not explicitly listed. The Interim Final Rule also provides
flexibility for recipients to use Fiscal Recovery Funds for programs or services that are
not identified on these non-exclusive lists but which meet the objectives of section
602©(1)(A) or 603©(1)(A) by responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency
with respect to COVID-19 or its negative economic impacts.
2.4. May recipients use funds to respond to the public health emergency and its negative
economic impacts by replenishing state unemployment funds?
Consistent with the approach taken in the CRF, recipients may make deposits into the
state account of the Unemployment Trust Fund up to the level needed to restore the pre-
pandemic balances of such account as of January 27, 2020, or to pay back advances
received for the payment of benefits between January 27, 2020 and the date when the
Interim Final Rule is published in the Federal Register.
2.5. What types of services are eligible as responses to the negative economic impacts of
the pandemic?
Eligible uses in this category include assistance to households; small businesses and non-
profits; and aid to impacted industries.
Assistance to households includes, but is not limited to: food assistance; rent, mortgage,
or utility assistance; counseling and legal aid to prevent eviction or homelessness; cash
assistance; emergency assistance for burials, home repairs, weatherization, or other
needs; internet access or digital literacy assistance; or job training to address negative

economic or public health impacts experienced due to a worker’s occupation or level of
training.
Assistance to small business and non-profits includes, but is not limited to:
• loans or grants to mitigate financial hardship such as declines in revenues or
impacts of periods of business closure, for example by supporting payroll and
benefits costs, costs to retain employees, mortgage, rent, or utilities costs, and
other operating costs;
• Loans, grants, or in-kind assistance to implement COVID-19 prevention or
mitigation tactics, such as physical plant changes to enable social distancing,
enhanced cleaning efforts, barriers or partitions, or COVID-19 vaccination,
testing, or contact tracing programs; and
• Technical assistance, counseling, or other services to assist with business planning
needs
2.6. May recipients use funds to respond to the public health emergency and its negative
economic impacts by providing direct cash transfers to households?
Yes, provided the recipient considers whether, and the extent to which, the household has
experienced a negative economic impact from the pandemic. Additionally, cash transfers
must be reasonably proportional to the negative economic impact they are intended to
address. Cash transfers grossly in excess of the amount needed to address the negative
economic impact identified by the recipient would not be considered to be a response to
the COVID-19 public health emergency or its negative impacts. In particular, when
considering appropriate size of permissible cash transfers made in response to the
COVID-19 public health emergency, state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments may
consider and take guidance from the per person amounts previously provided by the
federal government in response to the COVID crisis.
2.7. May funds be used to reimburse recipients for costs incurred by state and local
governments in responding to the public health emergency and its negative
economic impacts prior to passage of the American Rescue Plan?
Use of Fiscal Recovery Funds is generally forward looking. The Interim Final Rule
permits funds to be used to cover costs incurred beginning on March 3, 2021.
2.8. May recipients use funds for general economic development or workforce
development?
Generally, not. Recipients must demonstrate that funding uses directly address a negative
economic impact of the COVID-19 public health emergency, including funds used for
economic or workforce development. For example, job training for unemployed workers
may be used to address negative economic impacts of the public health emergency and be
eligible.

2.9. How can recipients use funds to assist the travel, tourism, and hospitality
industries?
Aid provided to tourism, travel, and hospitality industries should respond to the negative
economic impacts of the pandemic. For example, a recipient may provide aid to support
safe reopening of businesses in the tourism, travel and hospitality industries and to
districts that were closed during the COVID-19 public health emergency, as well as aid a
planned expansion or upgrade of tourism, travel and hospitality facilities delayed due to
the pandemic.
Tribal development districts are considered the commercial centers for tribal hospitality,
gaming, tourism and entertainment industries.
2.10. May recipients use funds to assist impacted industries other than travel, tourism,
and hospitality?
Yes, provided that recipients consider the extent of the impact in such industries as
compared to tourism, travel, and hospitality, the industries enumerated in the statute. For
example, nationwide the leisure and hospitality industry has experienced an
approximately 17 percent decline in employment and 24 percent decline in revenue, on
net, due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Recipients should also consider
whether impacts were due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as opposed to longer-term
economic or industrial trends unrelated to the pandemic.
Recipients should maintain records to support their assessment of how businesses or
business districts receiving assistance were affected by the negative economic impacts of
the pandemic and how the aid provided responds to these impacts.
2.11. How does the Interim Final Rule help address the disparate impact of COVID-19 on
certain populations and geographies?
In recognition of the disproportionate impacts of the COVID-19 virus on health and
economic outcomes in low-income and Native American communities, the Interim Final
Rule identifies a broader range of services and programs that are considered to be in
response to the public health emergency when provided in these communities.
Specifically, Treasury will presume that certain types of services are eligible uses when
provided in a Qualified Census Tract (QCT), to families living in QCTs, or when these
services are provided by Tribal governments.
Recipients may also provide these services to other populations, households, or
geographic areas disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. In identifying these
disproportionately-impacted communities, recipients should be able to support their
determination for how the pandemic disproportionately impacted the populations,
households, or geographic areas to be served.

expenses related to COVID-19 vaccination programs. See forthcoming 31 CFR
35.6(b)(1)(i). Programs that provide incentives reasonably expected to increase the
number of people who choose to get vaccinated, or that motivate people to get vaccinated
sooner than they otherwise would have, are an allowable use of funds so long as such
costs are reasonably proportional to the expected public health benefit.
2.13. May recipients use funds to pay “back to work incentives” (e.g., cash payments for
newly employed workers after a certain period of time on the job)? [5/27]
Yes. Under the Interim Final Rule, recipients may use Coronavirus State and Local

Many of the expenses authorized under the Coronavirus Relief Fund are also eligible uses
under the CSFRF/CLFRF. However, in the case of payroll expenses for public safety,
public health, health care, human services, and similar employees (hereafter, public
health and safety staff), the CSFRF/CLFRF does differ from the CRF. This change
reflects the differences between the ARPA and CARES Act and recognizes that the
response to the COVID-19 public health emergency has changed and will continue to
change over time. In particular, funds may be used for payroll and covered benefits
expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar
employees, including first responders, to the extent that the employee’s time that is
dedicated to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
For administrative convenience, the recipient may consider a public health and safety
employee to be entirely devoted to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public
health emergency, and therefore fully covered, if the employee, or his or her operating
unit or division, is primarily dedicated (e.g., more than half of the employee’s time is
dedicated) to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Recipients may use presumptions for assessing whether an employee, division, or
operating unit is primarily dedicated to COVID-19 response. The recipient should
maintain records to support its assessment, such as payroll records, attestations from
supervisors or staff, or regular work product or correspondence demonstrating work on
the COVID-19 response. Recipients need not routinely track staff hours. Recipients
should periodically reassess their determinations.
2.15. What staff are included in “public safety, public health, health care, human
services, and similar employees”? Would this include, for example, 911 operators,
morgue staff, medical examiner staff, or EMS staff? [5/27]
As discussed in the Interim Final Rule, funds may be used for payroll and covered
benefits expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and
similar employees, for the portion of the employee’s time that is dedicated to responding
to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Public safety employees would include police officers (including state police officers),
sheriffs and deputy sheriffs, firefighters, emergency medical responders, correctional and
detention officers, and those who directly support such employees such as dispatchers
and supervisory personnel. Public health employees would include employees involved
in providing medical and other health services to patients and supervisory personnel,
including medical staff assigned to schools, prisons, and other such institutions, and other
support services essential for patient care (e.g., laboratory technicians, medical examiner
or morgue staff) as well as employees of public health departments directly engaged in

Many of the expenses authorized under the Coronavirus Relief Fund are also eligible uses under the CSFRF/CLFRF. However, in the case of payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees (hereafter, public health and safety staff), the CSFRF/CLFRF does differ from the CRF. This change reflects the differences between the ARPA and CARES Act and recognizes that the response to the COVID-19 public health emergency has changed and will continue to change over time. In particular, funds may be used for payroll and covered benefits expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees, including first responders, to the extent that the employee’s time that is dedicated to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
For administrative convenience, the recipient may consider a public health and safety employee to be entirely devoted to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency, and therefore fully covered, if the employee, or his or her operating unit or division, is primarily dedicated (e.g., more than half of the employee’s time is dedicated) to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Recipients may use presumptions for assessing whether an employee, division, or operating unit is primarily dedicated to COVID-19 response. The recipient should maintain records to support its assessment, such as payroll records, attestations from supervisors or staff, or regular work product or correspondence demonstrating work on the COVID-19 response. Recipients need not routinely track staff hours. Recipients should periodically reassess their determinations
What staff are included in “public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees”? Would this include, for example, 911 operators, morgue staff, medical examiner staff, or EMS staff? [5/27]
As discussed in the Interim Final Rule, funds may be used for payroll and covered benefits expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees, for the portion of the employee’s time that is dedicated to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Public safety employees would include police officers (including state police officers), sheriffs and deputy sheriffs, firefighters, emergency medical responders, correctional and detention officers, and those who directly support such employees such as dispatchers and supervisory personnel. Public health employees would include employees involved in providing medical and other health services to patients and supervisory personnel, including medical staff assigned to schools, prisons, and other such institutions, and other support services essential for patient care (e.g., laboratory technicians, medical examiner or morgue staff) as well as employees of public health departments directly engaged in matters related to public health and related supervisory personnel. Human services staff include employees providing or administering social services; public benefits; child welfare services; and child, elder, or family care, as well as others.
May recipients use funds to establish a public jobs program? [6/8]
AS OF JUNE 23, 2021

Yes. The Interim Final Rule permits a broad range of services to unemployed or
underemployed workers and other individuals that suffered negative economic impacts
from the pandemic. That can include public jobs programs, subsidized employment,
combined education and on-the-job training programs, or job training to accelerate
rehiring or address negative economic or public health impacts experienced due to a
worker’s occupation or level of training. The broad range of permitted services can also
include other employment supports, such as childcare assistance or assistance with
transportation to and from a jobsite or interview.
The Interim Final Rule includes as an eligible use re-hiring public sector staff up to the
government’s level of pre-pandemic employment. “Public sector staff” would not
include individuals participating in a job training or subsidized employment program
administered by the recipient.
2.17. The Interim Final Rule states that “assistance or aid to individuals or businesses
that did not experience a negative economic impact from the public health
emergency would not be an eligible use under this category.” Are recipients
required to demonstrate that each individual or business experienced a negative
economic impact for that individual or business to receive assistance? [6/23]
Not necessarily. The Interim Final Rule allows recipients to demonstrate a negative
economic impact on a population or group and to provide assistance to households or
businesses that fall within that population or group. In such cases, the recipient need only
demonstrate that the household or business is within the population or group that
experienced a negative economic impact.
For assistance to households, the Interim Final Rule states, “In assessing whether a
household or population experienced economic harm as a result of the pandemic, a
recipient may presume that a household or population that experienced unemployment or
increased food or housing insecurity or is low- or moderate-income experienced negative
economic impacts resulting from the pandemic.” This would allow, for example, an
internet access assistance program for all low- or moderate-income households, but
would not require the recipient to demonstrate or document that each individual low- or -
moderate income household experienced a negative economic impact from the COVID-
19 public health emergency apart from being low- or -moderate income.
For assistance to small businesses, the Interim Final Rule states that assistance may be
provided to small businesses, including loans, grants, in-kind assistance, technical
assistance or other services, to respond to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-
19 public health emergency. In providing assistance to small businesses, recipients must
design a program that responds to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19
public health emergency, including by identifying how the program addresses the
identified need or impact faced by small businesses. This can include assistance to adopt
safer operating procedures, weather periods of closure, or mitigate financial hardship
resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency.

As part of program design and to ensure that the program responds to the identified need,
recipients may consider additional criteria to target assistance to businesses in need,
including to small businesses. Assistance may be targeted to businesses facing financial
insecurity, with substantial declines in gross receipts (e.g., comparable to measures used
to assess eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program), or facing other economic harm
due to the pandemic, as well as businesses with less capacity to weather financial
hardship, such as the smallest businesses, those with less access to credit, or those serving
disadvantaged communities. For example, a recipient could find based on local data or
research that the smallest businesses faced sharply increased risk of bankruptcy and
develop a program to respond; such a program would only need to document a population
or group-level negative economic impact, and eligibility criteria to limit access to the
program to that population or group (in this case, the smallest businesses).
In addition, recognizing the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on disadvantaged
communities, the Interim Final Rule also identifies a set of services that are
presumptively eligible when provided in a Qualified Census Tract (QCT); to families and
individuals living in QCTs; to other populations, households, or geographic areas
identified by the recipient as disproportionately impacted by the pandemic; or when these
services are provided by Tribal governments. For more information on the set of
presumptively eligible services, see the Interim Final Rule section on Building Stronger
Communities through Investments in Housing and Neighborhoods and FAQ 2.11.
2.18. Would investments in improving outdoor spaces (e.g. parks) be an eligible use of
funds as a response to the public health emergency and/or its negative economic
impacts? [6/23]
There are multiple ways that investments in improving outdoor spaces could qualify as
eligible uses; several are highlighted below, though there may be other ways that a
specific investment in outdoor spaces would meet eligible use criteria.
First, in recognition of the disproportionate negative economic impacts on certain
communities and populations, the Interim Final Rule identifies certain types of services
that are eligible uses when provided in a Qualified Census Tract (QCT), to families and
individuals living in QCTs, or when these services are provided by Tribal governments.
Recipients may also provide these services to other populations, households, or
geographic areas disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
These programs and services include services designed to build stronger neighborhoods
and communities and to address health disparities and the social determinants of health.
The Interim Final Rule provides a non-exhaustive list of eligible services to respond to
the needs of communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, and recipients
may identify other uses of funds that do so, consistent with the Rule’s framework. For
example, investments in parks, public plazas, and other public outdoor recreation spaces
may be responsive to the needs of disproportionately impacted communities by

Assistance to small businesses could include support to enhance outdoor spaces for
COVID-19 mitigation (e.g., restaurant patios) or to improve the built environment of the
neighborhood (e.g., façade improvements).
Third, many governments saw significantly increased use of parks during the pandemic
that resulted in damage or increased maintenance needs. The Interim Final Rule
recognizes that “decrease[s to] a state or local government’s ability to effectively
administer services” can constitute a negative economic impact of the pandemic.
2.19. Would expenses to address a COVID-related backlog in court cases be an eligible
use of funds as a response to the public health emergency? [6/23]
The Interim Final Rule recognizes that “decrease[s to] a state or local government’s
ability to effectively administer services,” such as cuts to public sector staffing levels, can
constitute a negative economic impact of the pandemic. During the COVID-19 public
health emergency, many courts were unable to operate safely during the pandemic and, as
a result, now face significant backlogs. Court backlogs resulting from inability of courts
to safely operate during the COVID-19 pandemic decreased the government’s ability to
administer services. Therefore, steps to reduce these backlogs, such as implementing
COVID-19 safety measures to facilitate court operations, hiring additional court staff or
attorneys to increase speed of case resolution, and other expenses to expedite case
resolution are eligible uses.
2.20. Can funds be used to assist small business startups as a response to the negative
economic impact of COVID-19? [6/23]
As discussed in the Interim Final Rule, recipients may provide assistance to small
businesses that responds to the negative economic impacts of COVID-19. The Interim
Final Rule provides a non-exclusive list of potential assistance mechanisms, as well as
considerations for ensuring that such assistance is responsive to the negative economic
impacts of COVID-19.
Treasury acknowledges a range of potential circumstances in which assisting small
business startups could be responsive to the negative economic impacts of COVID-19,
including for small businesses and individuals seeking to start small businesses after the
start of the COVID-19 public health emergency. For example:
• A recipient could assist small business startups with additional costs associated
with COVID-19 mitigation tactics (e.g., barriers or partitions; enhanced cleaning;

3.1. How is revenue defined for the purpose of this provision? [appendix added 6/23]
The Interim Final Rule adopts a definition of “General Revenue” that is based on, but not
identical, to the Census Bureau’s concept of “General Revenue from Own Sources” in the
Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances.
General Revenue includes revenue from taxes, current charges, and miscellaneous
general revenue. It excludes refunds and other correcting transactions, proceeds from
issuance of debt or the sale of investments, agency or private trust transactions, and
revenue generated by utilities and insurance trusts. General revenue also includes
intergovernmental transfers between state and local governments, but excludes
intergovernmental transfers from the Federal government, including Federal transfers
made via a state to a locality pursuant to the CRF or the Fiscal Recovery Funds.
Tribal governments may include all revenue from Tribal enterprises and gaming
operations in the definition of General Revenue.
Please see the appendix for a diagram of the Interim Final Rule’s definition of General
Revenue within the Census Bureau’s revenue classification structure.
3.2. Will revenue be calculated on an entity-wide basis or on a source-by-source basis
(e.g. property tax, income tax, sales tax, etc.)?
Recipients should calculate revenue on an entity-wide basis. This approach minimizes
the administrative burden for recipients, provides for greater consistency across
recipients, and presents a more accurate representation of the net impact of the
COVID- 19 public health emergency on a recipient’s revenue, rather than relying on
financial reporting prepared by each recipient, which vary in methodology used and
which generally aggregates revenue by purpose rather than by source.

Recipients should classify revenue sources as they would if responding to the U.S.
Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. According to
the Census Bureau’s Government Finance and Employment Classification manual, the
following is an example of current charges that would be included in a state or local
government’s general revenue from own sources: “Gross revenue of facilities operated by
a government (swimming pools, recreational marinas and piers, golf courses, skating
rinks, museums, zoos, etc.); auxiliary facilities in public recreation areas (camping areas,
refreshment stands, gift shops, etc.); lease or use fees from stadiums, auditoriums, and
community and convention centers; and rentals from concessions at such facilities.”
3.4. What is the time period for estimating revenue loss? Will revenue losses experienced
prior to the passage of the Act be considered?
Recipients are permitted to calculate the extent of reduction in revenue as of four points
in time: December 31, 2020; December 31, 2021; December 31, 2022; and December 31,
- This approach recognizes that some recipients may experience lagged effects of the
pandemic on revenues.
Upon receiving Fiscal Recovery Fund payments, recipients may immediately calculate
revenue loss for the period ending December 31, 2020.
3.5. What is the formula for calculating the reduction in revenue?
A reduction in a recipient’s General Revenue equals:
Max {[Base Year Revenue* (1+Growth Adjustment)( nt 12
)] - Actual General Revenuet ; 0}
Where:
Base Year Revenue is General Revenue collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior
to the COVD-19 public health emergency.
Growth Adjustment is equal to the greater of 4.1 percent (or 0.041) and the recipient’s
average annual revenue growth over the three full fiscal years prior to the COVID-19
public health emergency.
n equals the number of months elapsed from the end of the base year to the calculation
date.
Actual General Revenue is a recipient’s actual general revenue collected during 12-month
period ending on each calculation date.
Subscript t denotes the calculation date.

In the Interim Final Rule, any diminution in actual revenue calculated using the formula
above would be presumed to have been “due to” the COVID-19 public health emergency.
This presumption is made for administrative ease and in recognition of the broad-based
economic damage that the pandemic has wrought.
3.7. May recipients use pre-pandemic projections as a basis to estimate the reduction in
revenue?
No. Treasury is disallowing the use of projections to ensure consistency and
comparability across recipients and to streamline verification. However, in estimating
the revenue shortfall using the formula above, recipients may incorporate their average
annual revenue growth rate in the three full fiscal years prior to the public health
emergency.
3.8. Once a recipient has identified a reduction in revenue, are there any restrictions on
how recipients use funds up to the amount of the reduction?
The Interim Final Rule gives recipients broad latitude to use funds for the provision of
government services to the extent of reduction in revenue. Government services can
include, but are not limited to, maintenance of infrastructure or pay-go spending for
building new infrastructure, including roads; modernization of cybersecurity, including
hardware, software, and protection of critical infrastructure; health services;
environmental remediation; school or educational services; and the provision of police,
fire, and other public safety services.
However, paying interest or principal on outstanding debt, replenishing rainy day or other
reserve funds, or paying settlements or judgments would not be considered provision of a
government service, since these uses of funds do not entail direct provision of services to
citizens. This restriction on paying interest or principal on any outstanding debt
instrument, includes, for example, short-term revenue or tax anticipation notes, or paying
fees or issuance costs associated with the issuance of new debt. In addition, the
overarching restrictions on all program funds (e.g., restriction on pension deposits,
restriction on using funds for non-federal match where barred by regulation or statute)
would apply.

3.11. In calculating revenue loss, should recipients use their own data, or Census data?
[6/8]
Recipients should use their own data sources to calculate general revenue, and do not
need to rely on published revenue data from the Census Bureau. Treasury acknowledges
that due to differences in timing, data sources, and definitions, recipients’ self-reported

For example, parking fees would be classified as a Current Charge for the purpose of the Census Bureau’s Annual Survey, and the Interim Final Rule’s concept of “General Revenue” includes all Current Charges. Therefore, parking fees would be included in the Interim Final Rule’s concept of "General Revenue.”

- Eligible Uses – General
4.1. May recipients use funds to replenish a budget stabilization fund, rainy day fund, or
similar reserve account?
No. Funds made available to respond to the public health emergency and its negative
economic impacts are intended to help meet pandemic response needs and provide
immediate stabilization for households and businesses. Contributions to rainy day funds
and similar reserves funds would not address these needs or respond to the COVID-19
public health emergency, but would rather be savings for future spending needs.
Similarly, funds made available for the provision of governmental services (to the extent
of reduction in revenue) are intended to support direct provision of services to citizens.
Contributions to rainy day funds are not considered provision of government services,
since such expenses do not directly relate to the provision of government services.
4.2. May recipients use funds to invest in infrastructure other than water, sewer, and
broadband projects (e.g. roads, public facilities)?
Under 602©(1)© or 603©(1)©, recipients may use funds for maintenance of
infrastructure or pay-go spending for building of new infrastructure as part of the general
provision of government services, to the extent of the estimated reduction in revenue due
to the public health emergency.
Under 602©(1)(A) or 603©(1)(A), a general infrastructure project typically would not
be considered a response to the public health emergency and its negative economic
impacts unless the project responds to a specific pandemic-related public health need
(e.g., investments in facilities for the delivery of vaccines) or a specific negative
economic impact of the pandemic (e.g., affordable housing in a Qualified Census Tract).
4.3. May recipients use funds to pay interest or principal on outstanding debt?
No. Expenses related to financing, including servicing or redeeming notes, would not
address the needs of pandemic response or its negative economic impacts. Such expenses
would also not be considered provision of government services, as these financing
expenses do not directly provide services or aid to citizens.
This applies to paying interest or principal on any outstanding debt instrument, including,
for example, short-term revenue or tax anticipation notes, or paying fees or issuance costs
associated with the issuance of new debt.

4.8. How can I use CSFRF/CLFRF funds to prevent and respond to crime, and support
public safety in my community? [6/23]
Under Treasury’s Interim Final Rule, there are many ways in which the State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Funds (“Funds”) under the American Rescue Plan Act can support
communities working to reduce and respond to increased violence due to the pandemic.
Among the eligible uses of the Funds are restoring of public sector staff to their pre-
pandemic levels and responses to the public health crisis and negative economic impacts
resulting from the pandemic. The Interim Final Rule provides several ways for recipients
to “respond to” this pandemic-related gun violence, ranging from community violence
intervention programs to mental health services to hiring of public safety personnel.
Below are some examples of how Fiscal Recovery Funds can be used to address public
safety:
• In all communities, recipients may use resources to rehire police officers and other public
servants to restore law enforcement and courts to their pre-pandemic levels.
Additionally, Funds can be used for expenses to address COVID-related court backlogs,
including hiring above pre-pandemic levels, as a response to the public health emergency.
See FAQ 2.19.
• In communities where an increase in violence or increased difficulty in accessing or
providing services to respond to or mitigate the effects of violence, is a result of the
pandemic they may use funds to address that harm. This spending may include:
o Hiring law enforcement officials – even above pre-pandemic levels – or paying
overtime where the funds are directly focused on advancing community policing
strategies in those communities experiencing an increase in gun violence associated
with the pandemic
o Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs, including capacity building
efforts at CVI programs like funding and training additional intervention workers
o Additional enforcement efforts to reduce gun violence exacerbated by the pandemic,
including prosecuting gun traffickers, dealers, and other parties contributing to the
supply of crime guns, as well as collaborative federal, state, and local efforts to
identify and address gun trafficking channels
o Investing in technology and equipment to allow law enforcement to more efficiently
and effectively respond to the rise in gun violence resulting from the pandemic
As discussed in the Interim Final Rule, uses of CSFRF/CLFRF funds that respond to an
identified harm must be related and reasonably proportional to the extent and type of
harm experienced; uses that bear no relation or are grossly disproportionate to the type or
extent of harm experienced would not be eligible uses.
• Recipients may also use funds up to the level of revenue loss for government services,
including those outlined above.

- Eligible Uses – Premium Pay
5.1. What criteria should recipients use in identifying essential workers to receive
premium pay?
Essential workers are those in critical infrastructure sectors who regularly perform in-
person work, interact with others at work, or physically handle items handled by others.
Critical infrastructure sectors include healthcare, education and childcare, transportation,
sanitation, grocery and food production, and public health and safety, among others, as
provided in the Interim Final Rule. Governments receiving Fiscal Recovery Funds have
the discretion to add additional sectors to this list, so long as the sectors are considered
critical to protect the health and well-being of residents.
The Interim Final Rule emphasizes the need for recipients to prioritize premium pay for
lower income workers. Premium pay that would increase a worker’s total pay above
150% of the greater of the state or county average annual wage requires specific
justification for how it responds to the needs of these workers.

5.2. What criteria should recipients use in identifying third-party employers to receive
grants for the purpose of providing premium pay to essential workers?
Any third-party employers of essential workers are eligible. Third-party contractors who
employ essential workers in eligible sectors are also eligible for grants to provide
premium pay. Selection of third-party employers and contractors who receive grants is at
the discretion of recipients.
To ensure any grants respond to the needs of essential workers and are made in a fair and
transparent manner, the rule imposes some additional reporting requirements for grants to
third-party employers, including the public disclosure of grants provided.
5.3. May recipients provide premium pay retroactively for work already performed?
Yes. Treasury encourages recipients to consider providing premium pay retroactively for
work performed during the pandemic, recognizing that many essential workers have not
yet received additional compensation for their service during the pandemic.
- Eligible Uses – Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure
6.1. What types of water and sewer projects are eligible uses of funds?
The Interim Final Rule generally aligns eligible uses of the Funds with the wide range of
types or categories of projects that would be eligible to receive financial assistance
through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund
(CWSRF) or Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).
Under the DWSRF, categories of eligible projects include: treatment, transmission and
distribution (including lead service line replacement), source rehabilitation and
decontamination, storage, consolidation, and new systems development.
Under the CWSRF, categories of eligible projects include: construction of publicly-
owned treatment works, nonpoint source pollution management, national estuary
program projects, decentralized wastewater treatment systems, stormwater systems, water
conservation, efficiency, and reuse measures, watershed pilot projects, energy efficiency
measures for publicly-owned treatment works, water reuse projects, security measures at
publicly-owned treatment works, and technical assistance to ensure compliance with the
Clean Water Act.
As mentioned in the Interim Final Rule, eligible projects under the DWSRF and CWSRF
support efforts to address climate change, as well as to meet cybersecurity needs to
protect water and sewer infrastructure. Given the lifelong impacts of lead exposure for
children, and the widespread nature of lead service lines, Treasury also encourages
recipients to consider projects to replace lead service lines.

What criteria should recipients use in identifying third-party employers to receive grants for the purpose of providing premium pay to essential workers?
Any third-party employers of essential workers are eligible. Third-party contractors who employ essential workers in eligible sectors are also eligible for grants to provide premium pay. Selection of third-party employers and contractors who receive grants is at the discretion of recipients.
To ensure any grants respond to the needs of essential workers and are made in a fair and transparent manner, the rule imposes some additional reporting requirements for grants to third-party employers, including the public disclosure of grants provided.
May recipients provide premium pay retroactively for work already performed? Yes. Treasury encourages recipients to consider providing premium pay retroactively for
work performed during the pandemic, recognizing that many essential workers have not yet received additional compensation for their service during the pandemic.

6.1.
‘What types of water and sewer projects are eligible uses of funds?
‘The Interim Final Rule generally aligns eligible uses of the Funds with the wide range of types or categories of projects that would be eligible to receive financial assistance through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) or Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF),
Under the DWSRF, categories of eligible projects include: treatment, transmission and distribution (including lead service line replacement), source rehabilitation and decontamination, storage, consolidation, and new systems development.
Under the CWSRF, categories of eligible projects include: construction of publicly- ‘owned treatment works, nonpoint source pollution management, national estuary program projects, decentralized wastewater treatment systems, stormwater systems, water conservation, efficiency, and reuse measures, watershed pilot projects, energy efficiency measures for publicly-owned treatment works, water reuse projects, security measures at publicly-owned treatment works, and technical assistance to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act.

6.2. May construction on eligible water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure projects
continue past December 31, 2024, assuming funds have been obligated prior to that
date?
Yes. Treasury is interpreting the requirement that costs be incurred by December 31,
2024 to only require that recipients have obligated the funds by such date. The period of
performance will run until December 31, 2026, which will provide recipients a
reasonable amount of time to complete projects funded with Fiscal Recovery Funds.
6.3. May recipients use funds as a non-federal match for the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund (CWSRF) or Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)?
Recipients may not use funds as a state match for the CWSRF and DWSRF due to
prohibitions in utilizing federal funds as a state match in the authorizing statutes and
regulations of the CWSRF and DWSRF.
6.4. Does the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) apply to eligible infrastructure
projects?
NEPA does not apply to Treasury’s administration of the Funds. Projects supported with
payments from the Funds may still be subject to NEPA review if they are also funded by
other federal financial assistance programs.
6.5. What types of broadband projects are eligible?
The Interim Final Rule requires eligible projects to reliably deliver minimum speeds of
100 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload. In cases where it is impracticable due to
geography, topography, or financial cost to meet those standards, projects must reliably
deliver at least 100 Mbps download speed, at least 20 Mbps upload speed, and be
scalable to a minimum of 100 Mbps download speed and 100 Mbps upload speed.
Projects must also be designed to serve unserved or underserved households and
businesses, defined as those that are not currently served by a wireline connection that
reliably delivers at least 25 Mbps download speed and 3 Mbps of upload speed.
6.6. For broadband investments, may recipients use funds for related programs such as
cybersecurity or digital literacy training?
Yes. Recipients may use funds to provide assistance to households facing negative
economic impacts due to Covid-19, including digital literacy training and other programs
that promote access to the Internet. Recipients may also use funds for modernization of
cybersecurity, including hardware, software, and protection of critical infrastructure, as
part of provision of government services up to the amount of revenue lost due to the
public health emergency.

6.7. How do I know if a water, sewer, or broadband project is an eligible use of funds?
Do I need pre-approval? [6/8]
Recipients do not need approval from Treasury to determine whether an investment in a
water, sewer, or broadband project is eligible under CSFRF/CLFRF. Each recipient
should review the Interim Final Rule (IFR), along with the preamble to the Interim Final
Rule, in order to make its own assessment of whether its intended project meets the
eligibility criteria in the IFR. A recipient that makes its own determination that a project
meets the eligibility criteria as outlined in the IFR may pursue the project as a
CSFRF/CLFRF project without pre-approval from Treasury. Local government
recipients similarly do not need state approval to determine that a project is eligible under
CSFRF/CLFRF. However, recipients should be cognizant of other federal or state laws
or regulations that may apply to construction projects independent of CSFRF/CLFRF
funding conditions and that may require pre-approval.
For water and sewer projects, the IFR refers to the EPA Drinking Water and Clean Water
State Revolving Funds (SRFs) for the categories of projects and activities that are eligible
for funding. Recipients should look at the relevant federal statutes, regulations, and
guidance issued by the EPA to determine whether a water or sewer project is eligible. Of
note, the IFR does not incorporate any other requirements contained in the federal
statutes governing the SRFs or any conditions or requirements that individual states may
place on their use of SRFs.
6.8. For broadband infrastructure investments, what does the requirement that
infrastructure “be designed to” provide service to unserved or underserved
households and businesses mean? [6/17]
Designing infrastructure investments to provide service to unserved or underserved
households or businesses means prioritizing deployment of infrastructure that will bring
service to households or businesses that are not currently serviced by a wireline
connection that reliably delivers at least 25 Mbps download speed and 3 Mbps of upload
speed. To meet this requirement, states and localities should use funds to deploy
broadband infrastructure projects whose objective is to provide service to unserved or
underserved households or businesses. These unserved or underserved households or
businesses do not need to be the only ones in the service area funded by the project.
6.9. For broadband infrastructure to provide service to “unserved or underserved
households or businesses,” must every house or business in the service area be
unserved or underserved? [6/17]
No. It suffices that an objective of the project is to provide service to unserved or
underserved households or businesses. Doing so may involve a holistic approach that
provides service to a wider area in order, for example, to make the ongoing service of
unserved or underserved households or businesses within the service area economical.
Unserved or underserved households or businesses need not be the only households or
businesses in the service area receiving funds.

6.10. May recipients use payments from the Funds for “middle mile” broadband
projects? [6/17]
Yes. Under the Interim Final Rule, recipients may use payments from the Funds for
“middle-mile projects,” but Treasury encourages recipients to focus on projects that will
achieve last-mile connections—whether by focusing on funding last-mile projects or by
ensuring that funded middle-mile projects have potential or partnered last-mile networks
that could or would leverage the middle-mile network.
6.11. For broadband infrastructure investments, what does the requirement to “reliably”
meet or exceed a broadband speed threshold mean? [6/17]
In the Interim Final Rule, the term “reliably” is used in two places: to identify areas that
are eligible to be the subject of broadband infrastructure investments and to identify
expectations for acceptable service levels for broadband investments funded by the
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. In particular:
• The IFR defines “unserved or underserved households or businesses” to mean one
or more households or businesses that are not currently served by a wireline
connection that reliably delivers at least 25 Mbps download speeds and 3 Mbps of
upload speeds.
• The IFR provides that a recipient may use Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds to make investments in broadband infrastructure that are
designed to provide service to unserved or underserved households or businesses
and that are designed to, upon completion: (i) reliably meet or exceed
symmetrical 100 Mbps download speed and upload speeds; or (ii) in limited
cases, reliably meet or exceed 100 Mbps download speed and between 20 Mbps
and 100 Mbps upload speed and be scalable to a minimum of 100 Mbps download
and upload speeds.
The use of “reliably” in the IFR provides recipients with significant discretion to assess
whether the households and businesses in the area to be served by a project have access
to wireline broadband service that can actually and consistently meet the specified
thresholds of at least 25Mbps/3Mbps—i.e., to consider the actual experience of current
wireline broadband customers that subscribe to services at or above the 25 Mbps/3 Mbps
threshold. Whether there is a provider serving the area that advertises or otherwise
claims to offer speeds that meet the 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speed
thresholds is not dispositive.
When making these assessments, recipients may choose to consider any available data,
including but not limited to documentation of existing service performance, federal
and/or state-collected broadband data, user speed test results, interviews with residents
and business owners, and any other information they deem relevant. In evaluating such
data, recipients may take into account a variety of factors, including whether users

In particular:
© The IFR defines “unserved or underserved households or businesses” to mean one or more households or businesses that are not currently served by a wireline connection that reliably delivers at least 25 Mbps download speeds and 3 Mbps of upload speeds.

actually receive service at or above the speed thresholds at all hours of the day, whether
factors other than speed such as latency or jitter, or deterioration of the existing
connections make the user experience unreliable, and whether the existing service is
being delivered by legacy technologies, such as copper telephone lines (typically using
Digital Subscriber Line technology) or early versions of cable system technology
(DOCSIS 2.0 or earlier).
The IFR also provides recipients with significant discretion as to how they will assess
whether the project itself has been designed to provide households and businesses with
broadband services that meet, or even exceed, the speed thresholds provided in the rule.
6.12. May recipients use Funds for pre-project development for eligible water, sewer, and
broadband projects? [6/23]
Yes. To determine whether Funds can be used on pre-project development for an eligible
water or sewer project, recipients should consult whether the pre-project development use
or cost is eligible under the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds
(CWSRF and DWSRF, respectively). Generally, the CWSRF and DWSRF often allow
for pre-project development costs that are tied to an eligible project, as well as those that
are reasonably expected to lead to a project. For example, the DWSRF allows for
planning and evaluations uses, as well as numerous pre-project development costs,
including costs associated with obtaining project authorization, planning and design, and
project start-up like training and warranty for equipment. Likewise, the CWSRF allows
for broad pre-project development, including planning and assessment activities, such as
cost and effectiveness analyses, water/energy audits and conservation plans, and capital
improvement plans.
Similarly, pre-project development uses and costs for broadband projects should be tied
to an eligible broadband project or reasonably expected to lead to such a project. For
example, pre-project costs associated with planning and engineering for an eligible
broadband infrastructure build-out is considered an eligible use of funds, as well as
technical assistance and evaluations that would reasonably be expected to lead to
commencement of an eligible project (e.g., broadband mapping for the purposes of
finding an eligible area for investment).
All funds must be obligated within the statutory period between March 3, 2021 and
December 31, 2024, and expended to cover such obligations by December 31, 2026.

8.1. What is meant by a pension “deposit”? Can governments use funds for routine
pension contributions for employees whose payroll and covered benefits are eligible
expenses?
Treasury interprets “deposit” in this context to refer to an extraordinary payment into a
pension fund for the purpose of reducing an accrued, unfunded liability. More
specifically, the interim final rule does not permit this assistance to be used to make a
payment into a pension fund if both: (1) the payment reduces a liability incurred prior to
the start of the COVID-19 public health emergency, and (2) the payment occurs outside
the recipient’s regular timing for making such payments.
Under this interpretation, a “deposit” is distinct from a “payroll contribution,” which
occurs when employers make payments into pension funds on regular intervals, with
contribution amounts based on a pre-determined percentage of employees’ wages and
salaries. In general, if an employee’s wages and salaries are an eligible use of Fiscal
Recovery Funds, recipients may treat the employee’s covered benefits as an eligible use
of Fiscal Recovery Funds.
8.2. May recipients use Fiscal Recovery Funds to fund Other Post-Employment Benefits
(OPEB)? [6/8]
OPEB refers to benefits other than pensions (see, e.g., Governmental Accounting
Standards Board, “Other Post-Employment Benefits”). Treasury has determined that
Sections 602©(2)(B) and 603©(2), which refer only to pensions, do not prohibit
CSFRF/CLFRF recipients from funding OPEB. Recipients of either the CSFRF/CLFRF
may use funds for eligible uses, and a recipient seeking to use CSFRF/CLFRF funds for
OPEB contributions would need to justify those contributions under one of the four
eligible use categories.

On June 17, 2021, Treasury released Guidance on Recipient Compliance and Reporting
Responsibilities for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. Recipients should

reporting responsibilities. A users’ guide will be provided with additional information on how
and where to submit required reports.
9.1. What records must be kept by governments receiving funds?
Financial records and supporting documents related to the award must be retained for a
period of five years after all funds have been expended or returned to Treasury,
whichever is later. This includes those which demonstrate the award funds were used for
eligible purposes in accordance with the ARPA, Treasury’s regulations implementing

to submit quarterly project and expenditure reports. This report will include financial
data, information on contracts and subawards over $50,000, types of projects funded, and
other information regarding a recipient’s utilization of award funds. Reports will be
required quarterly with the exception of non-entitlement units, which will report
annually. An interim report is due on August 31, 2021. The reports will include the
same general data as those submitted by recipients of the Coronavirus Relief Fund, with
some modifications to expenditure categories and the addition of data elements related to
specific eligible uses. The initial quarterly Project and Expenditure report will cover two
calendar quarters from the date of award to September 30, 2021 and must be submitted to
Treasury by October 31, 2021. The subsequent quarterly reports will cover one calendar
quarter and must be submitted to Treasury within 30 days after the end of each calendar
quarter.

Plan Performance Report will cover the period from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 and
must be submitted to Treasury by July 31, 2022. Each annual Recovery Plan
Performance Report must be posted on the public-facing website of the recipient. Local
governments with fewer than 250,000 residents, Tribal governments, and non-entitlement
units of local government are not required to develop a Recovery Plan Performance
Report.
Please see the Guidance on Recipient Compliance and Reporting Responsibilities for
more information.
9.3. What provisions of the Uniform Guidance for grants apply to these funds? Will the
Single Audit requirements apply?
Most of the provisions of the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) apply to this program,
including the Cost Principles and Single Audit Act requirements. Recipients should refer
to the Assistance Listing for detail on the specific provisions of the Uniform Guidance
that do not apply to this program. The Assistance Listing will be available on
9.4. Once a recipient has identified a reduction in revenue, how will Treasury track use
of funds for the provision of government services? [6/8]
The ARPA establishes four categories of eligible uses and further restrictions on the use
of funds to ensure that Fiscal Recovery Funds are used within the four eligible use
categories. The Interim Final Rule implements these restrictions, including the scope of
the eligible use categories and further restrictions on tax cuts and deposits into
pensions. Reporting requirements will align with this structure.
Consistent with the broad latitude provided to recipients to use funds for government
services to the extent of the reduction in revenue, recipients will be required to submit a
description of services provided. As discussed in IFR, these services can include a broad
range of services but may not be used directly for pension deposits, contributions to
reserve funds, or debt service. Recipients may use sources of funding other than Fiscal
Recovery Funds to make deposits to pension funds, contribute to reserve funds, and pay
debt service, including during the period of performance for the Fiscal Recovery Fund
award.
For recipients using Fiscal Recovery Funds to provide government services to the extent
of reduction in revenue, the description of government services reported to Treasury may
be narrative or in another form, and recipients are encouraged to report based on their
existing budget processes and to minimize administrative burden. For example, a
recipient with $100 in revenue replacement funds available could indicate that $50 were
used for personnel costs and $50 were used for pay-go building of sidewalk
infrastructure.

used directly to make a deposit in a pension fund. Further, recipients subject to the tax
offset provision will be required to provide information necessary to implement the
Interim Final Rule, as described in the Interim Final Rule. Treasury does not anticipate
requiring other types of reporting or recordkeeping on spending in pensions, debt service,
or contributions to reserve funds.

Fiscal Recovery Funds available here.

number for the program? [6/8]
The Assistance Listing for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
(CSLFRF) was published May 28, 2021 on SAM.gov. This includes the final CFDA
Number for the program, 21.027.
The assistance listing includes helpful information including program purpose, statutory
authority, eligibility requirements, and compliance requirements for recipients. The
CFDA number is the unique 5-digit code for each type of federal assistance, and can be
used to search for program information, including funding opportunities, spending on
usaspending.gov, or audit results through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.
To expedite payments and meet statutory timelines, Treasury issued initial payments
under an existing CFDA number. If you have already received funds or captured the
initial CFDA number in your records, please update your systems and reporting to reflect
the final CFDA number 21.027. Recipients must use the final CFDA number for all
financial accounting, audits, subawards, and associated program reporting
requirements.
To ensure public trust, Treasury expects all recipients to serve as strong stewards of these
funds. This includes ensuring funds are used for intended purposes and recipients have in
place effective financial management, internal controls, and reporting for transparency
and accountability.

Resolution Title : Naming of Route 58 location at the Castlewood US Post Office in Russell County, Virginia as the “SFC Fred Taylor Memorial Highway”.
WHEREAS, On 11 July 1965, Sergeant First Class Fred Taylor US Army Special Forces (the “Green Berets”). Detachment B-52 (Project Delta), where he made the ultimate sacrifice.
WHEREAS, Project Delta was a deep-cover classified operation in Vietnam with US Special Forces personnel training and leading indigenous irregular forces in the conduct of long-range reconnaissance patrols deep within enemy-controlled territory within the Republic of Vietnam. Their missions included locating enemy units, gathering intelligence, bomb damage assessments, artillery/air strike coordination, special purpose raids and conducting harassing and deception missions. Project Delta had the capability of deploying into any tactical zone within South Vietnam.
WHEREAS, On 11 July 1965, Master Sergeant Henry J. Gallant and Sergeant First Class Fred Taylor were the leaders of an eight-man long range reconnaissance patrol. The team was inserted by helicopter into its area of operation to gather intelligence north of Highway 19 prior to a large scale allied operation to reopen that route. At approximately 1600 hours on 13 July 1965, the team was ambushed by an enemy force of unknown size as it moved through jungle foliage on the south side of a mountain approximately 5 miles north of Highway 19. The initial burst of enemy gunfire caused the team to split up with Fred Taylor, Henry Gallant, and a South Vietnamese soldier in one group and the other seven team members in another. SFC Taylor immediately established radio contact with friendly forces informing them of the team’s location and requesting an emergency extraction. As the intense battle raged around them, Henry Gallant suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach, although its severity is not known. The last time MSG Gallant and SFC Taylor were seen by the surviving indigenous patrol members, Fred Taylor was helping Henry Gallant into the surrounding jungle as hostile forces pressed toward them.
WHEREAS, Once extraction was requested, a search and rescue (SAR) operation was conducted for the missing team members. Over the next few days SAR personnel,
