Common use of Additional Project Signatories Clause in Contracts

Additional Project Signatories. Following the first progress report by the Universities (15 months after effective date of final rule) and an EPA evaluation of the project that indicates that it is being implemented successfully, additional academic laboratories that are members of the Laboratory Consortium for Environmental Excellence may apply to participate in this Project. As with the original laboratory participants, the new proposals must meet the Project XL criteria. The addition of new project elements and new signatories would require the consent of the existing Project Signatories. Moreover, such additions would be considered a modification under this FPA and would require a stakeholder involvement process leading to amendments to both the FPA and the final rule (40 CFR 262 Subpart J) which accompanies this project. As always, XL participants must have a good compliance record as outlined in the Compliance Screening Guidance for XL projects.
