Payments from the Special Account Sample Clauses

Payments from the Special Account. Each agency or other provider receiving funding to perform functions under the Joint Field Management Program will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding, service agreement or contract for the provision of those services and functions specifying:  the outputs and activities to be delivered;  the funding to be allocated;  the resources, agencies and operational units responsible for performing specified activities; and  the performance indicators for monitoring, evaluating and reporting on the delivery of the outputs and activities identified. Payments to instrumentalities and other providers performing functions and activities under the Joint Field Management Program will be made by the Authority on receipt of an invoice prepared in accordance with the terms of the service-level agreement, Memorandum of Understanding or contract for that agency or other provider. All money paid directly or indirectly to an agency or other provider pursuant to this agreement must be expended in accordance with this agreement, the relevant Field Management Annual Plan and the relevant service-level agreement, Memorandum of Understanding or contract for that agency or other provider. Unless otherwise agreed, any money paid to an agency or other provider pursuant to this agreement but not spent in the financial year for which it is provided must be made available to the Authority for reallocation by the Field Management Strategy Group in the following financial year.

Payments from the Special Account. The Solicitor’s Opinion also provided recommendations regarding payments from the SNPLMA and FLTFA special accounts to Federal agencies. The opinion advised that XXXXXX does not authorize “advance payments.” Further, although the SNPLMA does not include a general authority to utilize reimbursement of funds, reimbursement may be utilized under the Economy Act if applicable. The Solicitor advised that the Executive Committee revise the SNPLMA Implementation Agreement to provide for payment of an Agency’s necessary project expenses without use of the reimbursement mechanism and that “payments for approved projects should be made at logical stages in the life of a project while it is being implemented.” Project reimbursements/payments are made to the eligible agency/entity for which the projects were approved with one exception. That exception is payment for consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act. This consultation is required for many projects across all project categories. Due to the extensive number of required consultations, funds for the Endangered Species Act consultation will be transferred directly to the FWS on a project-by-project basis following the transfer process below. The agencies/entities and FWS will identify those projects requiring such consultation and provide an estimate of the cost of the consultation as a separate line item on the Estimated Necessary Expense Form (Appendix B-1 to B-8), so that the SNPLMA Division can effect the transfer in a manner that allocates consultation costs to the appropriate projects.
