exhaustive list of enumerated eligible uses for assistance to nonprofits that are impacted or <br />disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. <br />A recipient may also identify a class of nonprofits that have been disproportionately <br />impacted by the public health emergency and design and implement a program that responds to <br />the source of that disproportionate impact. For example, a recipient may determine that <br />nonprofits offering after -school programs within its jurisdiction were disproportionately <br />impacted by the pandemic due to the previous in -person, indoors nature of the work and the <br />nonprofits' reliance on fees received for services (e.g., attendance fees). The recipient might then <br />design an intervention to assist those nonprofits in adapting their programming (e.g., to outdoor <br />or online venues), their revenue structure (e.g., adapting the fee for service structure or <br />developing expertise in digital donation campaigns), or both. Additional information about this <br />framework is included in General Provisions: Structure and Standards. In order to ease <br />administrative burden, the final rule presumes that nonprofits operating in QCTs, operated by <br />Tribal governments or on Tribal Lands, or operating in the U.S. territories were <br />disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. <br />To summarize, a recipient may determine that certain nonprofits were impacted by the <br />pandemic or were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and provide responsive services. <br />Public Comment: Beneficiaries and Subrecipients: As noted elsewhere in this final rule, <br />Treasury received multiple comments expressing uncertainty on how to categorize a particular <br />activity in the eligible use categories. For instance, some commenters requested that recipients be <br />able to use SLFRF funds for certain expenses incurred by nonprofits (e.g., unemployment <br />charges) as a response to a public health or negative economic impact to that nonprofit; others <br />asked if nonprofits providing certain services (e.g., social services) made them eligible for direct <br />157 <br />
