Common use of Entities Affected Clause in Contracts

Entities Affected. Only entities that are signatories to the Grant Agreement for the Tribal Transit Project are parties to that Grant Agreement. To achieve compliance with certain Federal laws, regulations, or directives, however, other entities participating in the Tribal Transit Project, (such as a subrecipient, lessee, third party contractor, or other participant at any tier of the Project) will necessarily be affected. Accordingly, the Indian Tribe agrees to take the appropriate measures necessary to ensure that all Project participants comply with applicable Federal laws and regulations, and follow Federal directives affecting Project implementation, except to the extent FTA determines otherwise in writing. In addition, if another entity is expected to fulfill responsibilities typically performed by the Indian Tribe, the Indian Tribe agrees to assure that the entity carries out the Indian Tribe’s responsibilities as set forth in the Grant Agreement for the Tribal Transit Project or this Tribal Transit Program Master Agreement.
