View Rule

The rule would update NEW regulations at 45 CFR part 287 to avoid inconsistencies and reflect the changes that have been made to the NEW statute and Administration for Children and Families (ACF) grant policy and procedures since the current regulation’s publication on February 18, 2000.  In particular, the regulations need to address changes made in section 404(e) of the Social Security Act as amended in 1999, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement for HHS Awards (45 CFR part 75) - Part 75 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for HHS Awards, Public Law 106-107, the "Federal Financial Assistance Management, Improvement Act of 1999" (Nov. 20, 1999), and various minor technical changes. While some of these changes have been addressed and communicated to the public and grantees via program instructions and information memoranda, the regulations themselves are now inconsistent with current law and policy.
