Federal Awarding Agency Regulatory Implementation of Office of 
Management and Budget's Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost 
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce publishes this rule to adopt as a 
final rule, without change, a joint interim final rule published with 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for all Federal award-making 
agencies that implemented guidance on Uniform Administrative 
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal 
Awards (Uniform Guidance). This rule is necessary to incorporate into 
regulation and thus bring into effect the Uniform Guidance as required 
by OMB for the Department of Commerce.

DATES: This rule is effective August 27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2014, OMB issued an interim 
final rule that implemented for all Federal award-making agencies the 
final guidance on Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, 
and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). In that 
interim final rule, Federal awarding agencies, including the Department 
of Commerce, joined together to implement the Uniform Guidance in their 
respective chapters of title 2 of the CFR, and, where approved by OMB, 
implemented any exceptions to the Uniform Guidance by including the 
relevant language in their regulations. Where applicable, agencies 
provided additional language beyond that included in 2 CFR 200, 
consistent with their existing policy, to provide more detail with 
respect to how they intend to implement the policy, where appropriate.
    In addition, the interim final rule made technical corrections to 
the Uniform Guidance, where needed, to ensure that particular language 
in the final guidance matched with the Council on Financial Assistance 
Reform's intent and to avoid any erroneous implementation of the 
guidance. The interim final rule went into effect on December 26, 2014. 
The public comment period for the interim final rule closed on February 
17, 2015.
    The Department of Commerce publishes this final rule to adopt the 
provisions of the interim final rule. The Department did not request 
any exceptions to the Uniform Guidance and did not provide any language 
beyond what was included in 2 CFR 200. The Department did not receive 
any public comments on its regulations. Accordingly, the Department 
makes no changes to the interim final rule.

Classification

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule contains no collections of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 3506). 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to 
respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to 
comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act unless that collection displays a currently valid OMB 
Control Number.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not 
required and has not been prepared.

Executive Order 12866

    Pursuant to Executive Order 12866, OMB has determined this final 
rule to be not significant.

Barry Berkowitz,
Director of Acquisition Management, U.S. Department of Commerce.

    Accordingly, the interim rule amending 2 CFR part 1327, and 15 CFR 
parts 14 and 24, which was published at 79 FR 75867 on December 19, 
2014, is adopted as a final rule without change.
