Third Party Monitor. XXX may require a Third-Party Monitor at any point during the Award to assess the Recipient’s compliance with the research technology and economic security (RTES) requirements of this Award, but not more often than once every year. The engagement of the Third-Party Monitor and the scope and terms of the monitoring (the “Monitoring Plan”) shall be subject to the prior non-objection of DOE. If DOE notifies the Recipient that monitoring is required, within thirty (30) days, the Recipient shall propose a Third-Party Monitor and the Monitoring Plan for their non-objection. If DOE does not provide written objection within thirty (30) days, the lack of action shall constitute a non-objection.

If DOE objects to the Monitoring Plan, the Recipient shall address the objections and submit a revised Monitoring Plan within fifteen (15) days, subject to the same non-objection procedure as the initial proposal.
