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

AGENCY: Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Interim final rule; correction and technical amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services published a 
document containing technical amendments in the Federal Register on 
January 20, 2016, revising the Uniform Administrative Requirements, 
Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for HHS Awards. That document 
inadvertently failed to update the following: A provision in Appendix 
II; an improper citation; a recent OMB change; and a grammatical error. 
This document makes correcting amendments to correct these sections.

DATES: Effective on April 4, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Audrey E. Clarke, Ph.D., Division of 
Grants, Office of Grants and Acquisition Policy and Accountability, 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources, U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS is correcting its regulations in line 
with FR Doc. 2014-28697, published on December 19, 2014 (79 FR 75871), 
entitled ``Federal Awarding Agency Regulatory Implementation of Office 
of Management and Budget's Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost 
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards'', the ``Guidance 
for Reporting and Use of Information Concerning Recipient Integrity and 
Performance'' to 2 CFR part 200, published on July 22, 2015 (80 FR 
43301), and ``Universal Identifier and System of Award Management; 
Corrections'', published on September 10, 2015 (80 FR 54407), made by 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). HHS adopts the correcting 
amendments made by OMB. HHS is also making amendments to address 
citation or grammatical inconsistencies, to amend incomplete statements 
in the regulation, and to update existing HHS regulations to 
incorporate 45 CFR part 75. The correcting amendments will go into 
effect at the time of publication.
    This is the second set of corrections. The first set of corrections 
was published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004). 
This document augments the corrections which were published in the 
Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004). This document 
includes a corresponding change made by OMB to 2 CFR 200 on November 9, 
2015 (80 FR 69111) that was omitted from the first set of corrections. 
This document also removes instruction 197c on page 3018 in the Federal 
Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004), which as published attempted 
to amend the wrong appendix in 45 CFR part 75. Because that instruction 
cited the wrong appendix, that amendment could not be incorporated into 
the CFR.

 Correction

    In the Federal Register issue of January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004), 
make the following correction:
    On page 3018, in the third column, remove amendatory instruction 
197c.

List of Subjects in 45 CFR Part 75

    Accounting, Auditing, Administrative practice and procedure, 
Colleges and universities, Cost principles, Grant programs, Grant 
programs-health, Grants administration, Hospitals, Indians, Nonprofit 
organizations, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and State and 
local governments.

    Accordingly, HHS makes the following technical amendments to 45 CFR 
part 75:
