1991-AC09 201610 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1991 Office of Acquisition Management OAM 1900 Department of Energy DOE DOE Financial Assistance Regulation: Conflict of Interest

Corrections/updates to 2 CFR 910 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards) based on changes associated with implementing 2 CFR 200, specifically Conflict of Interest. The Super Circular seeks to strengthen oversight of federal awards by requiring that Federal agencies and pass-through entities obtain disclosures of conflicts of interests from prospective recipients of federal funds. Further, the Super Circular's conflicts of interest language imposes more stringent, yet more ambiguous, standards upon Federal award recipients than A-110. In this regard, the Super Circular states: The Federal awarding agency must establish conflict of interest policies for Federal awards.
