1205-AB71 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1205 Employment and Training Administration ETA 1200 Department of Labor DOL Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards--DOL Exceptions

To deliver on the promise of a 21st-century government that is more efficient, effective, and transparent, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is streamlining the Federal government's guidance on Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal awards. These modifications are a key component of a larger Federal effort to more effectively focus Federal resources on improving performance and outcome while ensuring the financial integrity of taxpayer dollars in partnership with non-Federal stakeholders. Therefore, OMB has tasked Federal agencies, including the Department of Labor, with updating their respective regulations on Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal awards by issuing new regulations that conform to the OMB guidance. The regulation will reflect a government-wide framework for grants management which will be complemented by additional efforts to strengthen program outcomes through innovative and effective use of grant-making models, performance metrics, and evaluation. This regulation will reduce administrative burdens for non-Federal awards while reducing the risk of waste, fraud and abuse.
