The grant period of performance is three years from award date, which is the same as the “agreement date.” Recipients may incur pre-award costs to the extent authorized by 2 CFR 1500.9, but EPA will adjust the period of performance and budget period to cover the pre-award costs as provided in 2 CFR 200.403(h). All costs must be incurred, and grant activities must be completed, during this 3-year period of performance. As provided in 2 CFR 200.344(b), recipients will have 120 days following the end of the period of performance to liquidate financial obligations incurred during the period of performance.
