cybersecurity requirements as applicable. <br />(b)(1) EPA must ensure that any connections between the recipient's network or <br />information system and EPA networks used by the recipient to transfer data under this <br />agreement, are secure. For purposes of this Section, a connection is defined as a dedicated <br />persistent interface between an Agency IT system and an external IT system for the purpose of <br />transferring information. Transitory, user -controlled connections such as website browsing are <br />excluded from this definition. <br />If the recipient's connections as defined above do not go through the Environmental Information <br />Exchange Network or EPA's Central Data Exchange, the recipient agrees to contact the EPA <br />Project Officer (PO) no later than 90 days after the date of this award and work with the <br />designated Regional/Headquarters Information Security Officer to ensure that the connections <br />meet EPA security requirements, including entering into Interconnection Service Agreements as <br />appropriate. This condition does not apply to manual entry of data by the recipient into systems <br />operated and used by EPA's regulatory programs for the submission of reporting and/or <br />compliance data. <br />(b)(2) The recipient agrees that any subawards it makes under this agreement will <br />require the subrecipient to comply with the requirements in (b)(1) if the subrecipient's network <br />or information system is connected to EPA networks to transfer data to the Agency using <br />systems other than the Environmental Information Exchange Network or EPA's Central Data <br />Exchange. The recipient will be in compliance with this condition: by including this requirement <br />in subaward agreements; and during subrecipient monitoring deemed necessary by the <br />recipient under 2 CFR 200.331(d), by inquiring whether the subrecipient has contacted the EPA <br />Project Officer. Nothing in this condition requires the recipient to contact the EPA Project <br />Officer on behalf of a subrecipient or to be involved in the negotiation of an Interconnection <br />Service Agreement between the subrecipient and EPA. <br />### END OF DOCUMENT ### <br />ATTY/AGR.2020.25 1 /County of San Mateo (Page 21 of 21) <br />
