    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On January 27, 2016 (81 FR 4573), the Department adopted as a final rule the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) regulations for all Federal award-making agencies, the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), with minor deviations to make the Uniform Guidance consistent with existing Department policy. Treasury's regulations are codified at 2 CFR part 1000.

    On August 13, 2020 (85 FR 49506), OMB adopted revisions to the Uniform Guidance. Among other things, in the final rule, OMB redesignated 2 CFR 200.336 as 2 CFR 200.337. This change results in an incorrect section numeration and cross-reference in the Department's regulations that is corrected in this technical amendment.
