PF 2020-44 Revisions to 2 CFR Parts 25, 170, and 200 and the addition of part 183.

SUMMARY:  

Policy Flash 2020-44 provides notification of the revisions to the guidance set forth in 2 CFR parts 25, 170, 183, and 200 that were published as final in the Federal Register by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on August 13, 2020.

The revisions to 2 CFR amplify and institutionalize the vision of the President’s Management Agenda (PMA), implement new statutory requirements, strengthen national security, increase transparency and reduce burden to recipients by clarifying existing rules. These revisions are reflective of the foundational shift outlined in the PMA to set the stage for result-oriented accountability for financial assistance (FA). This represents a continuing effort to pivot towards a focus on stewardship and the results that the American people are receiving for the funding expended through FA programs.

You can view the revised 2 CFR in the Federal Register at the following link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/08/13/2020-17468/guidance-grants-and-agreements .

These revisions to the guidance are effective November 12, 2020, except for the amendments to Sec. 200.216, Prohibition on certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment, and 200.340, Termination, which are effective as of August 13, 2020.

Additional guidance will be forthcoming.
