We're about to sign a USDA Cooperative Agreement (Form EMS-467) that has as Item 9.4 a clause that says:   "AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE COOPERATOR ASSURES AND CERTIFIES THAT IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AND WILL COMPLY IN THE COURSE OF THE AGREEMENT WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS, EXECUTIVE ORDERS, AND OTHER GENERALLY APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS."

Does anyone have an easy reference for these "applicable laws"?     Presumably these are the standard federal terms and conditions, but the administrative officer was unable to provide me with a copy of the actual wording of these laws (or a website) and I think we should have something on file outlining what we've agreed to.

Thanks, as always.
