View Rule

The Department of Defense Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) need to be updated. Much of the updating is required to implement Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance to Federal agencies on administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements applicable to Federal grants, cooperative agreements, and other assistance instruments (2 CFR part 200). DoD established an interim implementation of that guidance at 2 CFR part 1103 in December 2014, pending needed updates to the DoDGARs. This proposed regulatory action would implement the OMB guidance as it applies to general reporting requirements, such as the use of the System of Award Management. Though mirrored after the current regulation, 32 CFR part 21, this rule proposes to remove those requirements and policies that are internal to DoD. It thereby takes a major step toward the update the DoDGARs requires.
