Fatality Management. All entities responsible for completion of a given performance element must have completed the performance element in order to answer “Yes” to Question 2. For the awardee to enter “Yes” on Question 2 for that performance element, the 5 funded LHDs (not 10) must have completed it. If the awardee itself was responsible for completion of a different performance element, it could only enter “Yes” on Question 2 for its performance element once it has been completed by the awardee. Pre-Incident Once the main office and the 4 regional offices have done so, the awardee may enter “Yes” on Question 2 for those performance elements. If, in this example, the awardee main office is the only entity responsible for completing a performance element (i.e., it does not assign any responsibility to any of its regions), then it may enter “Yes” once it (the main office) has completed the performance element.
