SUBJECT: Updated DOE Guide to Financial Assistance

TO: HCAs/Procurement Directors/Contracting Officers
FROM: Director, Contract and Financial Assistance Policy Division, Office of Policy, Office of Acquisition Management

SUMMARY: Provides notice of revisions to the DOE Guide to Financial Assistance. These revisions include updates due to changes made by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to several Parts of 2 CFR to incorporate statutory requirements and administration priorities, reduce Recipient and Agency 
burden, provide clarifications on interpretation of the guidance, and use ‘plain’ language. These revisions provide clarity and updated guidance to improve the 
award and administration of DOEs financial assistance.

The DOE Guide to Financial Assistance can be found on the DOE Financial Assistance webpage at: https://www.energy.gov/management/department-energy-guidance-acquisition-financial-assistance-and-other-transactions
