Attachment D DESIGNATION OF AUTHORITY The Designation of Authority Form is submitted with each new disaster or emergency declaration to provide the authority for the Sub -Recipient's Primary Agent and Alternate Agent to access the grants management system in order to enter notes, review notes and documents, and submit the documentation necessary to work the new event. The Designation of Authority Form is originally submitted as Attachment "D" to the PA Funding Agreement for each disaster or emergency declaration. Subsequently, the Primary or Alternate contact should review the agency contacts at least quarterly. The Authorized Representative can request a change in contacts via email to the State team; a note should beentered in the grants management system if the list is correct. Contacts should be removed as soon as they separate, retire, or are reassigned by the Agency. A new form will only be needed if all authorized representatives have separated from your agency. Note that if a new Designation form is submitted, all Agency Representatives currently listed as contacts that are not included on the updated form will be deleted from the grants management system as the contacts listed are replaced in the system, not supplemented. All users must log in on a monthly basis to keep their accounts from becoming locked. Note: a designation of authority is NOT a delegation of authority. A signatory must have an attached delegation of authority as appropriate. Instructions for Completion Complete the form in its entirety, listing the name and information for all representatives who will be working in the grants management system. Users will be notified via email when they have been granted access. The user must log in to the grants management system within twelve (12) hours of being notified or their account will lock them out. Each user must log in within a sixty (60) day time period or their account will lock them out. In the event you try to log in and your account is locked, submit a ticket using the Access Request link on the home page. The form is divided into twelve blocks; each block must be completed where appropriate. Block 1: "Authorized Agent" — This should be the highest authority in your organization who is authorized to sign legal documents on behalf of your organization. (Only one Authorized Agent is allowed, and this person will have full access/authority unless otherwise requested). Block 2: "Primary Agent" — This is the person designated by your organization to receive all correspondence and is our main point of contact. This contact will be responsible for answering questions, uploading documents, and submitting reports/requests in the grants management system. The Primary Agent is usually not the Authorized Agent but should be responsible for updating all internal stakeholders on all grant activities. (Only one Primary Agent is allowed, and this contact will have full access). Block 3: "Alternate Agent" — This is the person designated by your organization to be available when the Primary is not. (Only one Altemate Agent is allowed, and this contact will have full access). Block 4, 5, and 6: "Other" (Finance/Point of Contact, Risk Management -Insurance, and Environmental - Historic). Providing these contacts is essential in the coordination and communication required between State and Local subject matter experts. We understand that the same agent may be identified in multiple blocks, however we ask that you enter the name and information again to ensure we are communicating with the correct individuals. Block 7 — 12: "Other" (Read Only Access) — There is no limit on "Other" contacts, but we ask that this be restricted to those that are going to actually need to log in and have a role in reviewing the information. This designation is only for situational awareness purposes as individuals with the "Other Read -Only" designation cannot take any action in the grants management system. 110 31
