PROGRAM PROCEDURES. NGB uses a CA as the means of providing financial assistance and other support to recipients for the operation of the NGB program in the recipient’s jurisdiction, except for financial assistance and support provided under separate authority (e.g., military and technician pay and the military supply system). Recipients enter into a Master Cooperative Agreement (MCA) with the NGB. Generally, an MCA consists of two parts: (1) the Agreement and (2) the Appendices. The Agreement includes the standard terms and conditions applicable to all Appendices. The Appendices contain the terms and conditions, policy, administrative procedures, scope of work, authorized and unauthorized activities/charges, budget information, funding limitations, and Agreement particulars applicable to that functional area (e.g., Real Property Operations and Maintenance, Security Guard activities, etc.). Funding for the CA is identified in each of the Appendices to the MCA. The total sum of Federal reimbursements to the recipient for an MCA Appendix may not exceed the approved funding limits identified in the Funding Limitation section of the Appendix. . The Adjutant General (TAG) of the State Military Department and the United States Property & Fiscal Officer (USPFO) are responsible for the execution of the MCA and Appendices.

PROGRAM PROCEDURES. NGB, a joint Bureau of the Department of the Army (DA) and the Department of the Air Force (AF), enters into a CA with a State when NGB transfers something of value, through funding or otherwise, to the State to support the State ARNG FP and ANG FOMA instead of acquiring (by purchase, lease, or barter) property or services for the direct benefit or use of the ARNG or ANG and substantial involvement is expected between the NGB and the State when carrying out the activity contemplated in the agreement (NGR 5-1/XXXX 63-101, chapter 1-1). Generally, a CA consists of two parts, the agreement and appendices (Master Cooperative Agreement (MCA) and as many Appendices as apply to that State). Policies and procedures to be followed for cooperative agreements with States are contained in National Guard Grants and Cooperative Agreements NGR 5-1/XXXX 63-101. The MCA includes standard terms and conditions applicable to all Appendices under the MCA and the required signatures of the parties. There will be a separate Appendix for each CA functional area applicable to the State. Each Appendix shall contain terms and conditions, allowable costs, reports, approved budget, management controls, and administrative information applicable only to that functional area (NGR 5-1/XXXX 63-101, chapter 2-1). The Adjutant General (TAG) and the United States Property & Fiscal Officer (USPFO) are responsible for the execution of the MCA and Appendices. A CA is the means of providing all financial assistance and other support to States for the operation of the National Guard except for financial assistance and support provided under separate authority (e.g., military and technician pay and the military supply system). Single-purpose CAs will specify the responsible parties (NGR 5-1/XXXX 63-101, chapter 2-1). The sum of Federal reimbursements and program income may not exceed the requirements listed for each program in the approved budget. The State Military Department must have prior written USPFO approval of an amended budget before it may request a reimbursement or receive program income that would bring its receipts above the maximum program funding level. Funding transfers into the FP (chapter 13-1e) or FOMA (chapter 33-3b) programs or funding transfers within each program do not require prior written approval of the appropriate NGB program managers. However, funding may not be transferred from the FP (chapter 13-1d) or FOMA (chapter 33-3c) programs without a signed modification to the...
