Summary

This regulation mandates that recipients of grants and cooperative agreements from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) must adhere to the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, ensuring a drug-free environment as per the guidelines set by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It outlines specific notification and compliance procedures for both organizational and individual recipients upon a drug-related conviction, including whom to notify within USAID and the actions to be taken against the convicted employee. Additionally, it defines the roles of USAID officials in enforcing these requirements and provides a detailed definition of what constitutes an "award" under this regulation, excluding certain types of financial assistance like loans and insurance.
