> GUIDANCE FOR NSF GRANTEES, CONTRACTORS AND OTHER AWARDEES IN THE

> EVENT OF AN NSF SHUTDOWN

>

> 1.   Awardees (grantees, recipients of cooperative agreements, contractors,

> etc. - EXCEPT those working on-site at NSF) should continue performance under

> their NSF awards during any NSF shutdown period to the extent funds are

> available under their awards. (This should apply to over 95% of NSF awards.)

>

> 2.   Payments by NSF to its awardees are expected to continue to be made,

> using normal procedures, during any NSF shutdown period to the extent funds

> are available under NSF awards.

>

> 3.   Contractors who DO NOT have sufficient funds to continue operations

> during any NSF shutdown period should notify their cognizant Contracting

> Officer as soon as this is known. Continuation of any activity in the absence

> of additional funding will be solely at their own risk.

>

> 4.   Other awardees (grantees, recipients of cooperative agreements, etc.)

> who DO NOT have funds available under their awards to continue activities

> during any NSF shutdown period also are cautioned that continuation of

> performance under their NSF awards is at the awardees own risk. It is

> expected that after any NSF shutdown is over, NSF will obligate funds to those

> awards that would have otherwise been funded. NSF cannot now authorize costs

> exceeding available award amounts nor obligate the NSF to cover such costs.

>

> EXCEPTION: Awardees undertaking or providing services or activities involving

> the safety of human life or the protection of U.S. Government property, are

> authorized to continue those limited functions necessary to meet those

> responsibilities. NSF will obligate funds to cover those reasonable costs

> after any NSF shutdown period is over.

>

> 5.   Contractors, IPAs and others working on-site at NSF have been or will

> be provided with other specific guidance.

>

> 6.   Questions related to this guidance should be directed to NSF's

> Division of Grants and Agreements or the Division of Contracts, Policy &

> Oversight, as appropriate.
