SUMMARY: On June 30, 1997 (62 FR 35278), the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) issued the final notice of revision to Circular A-133, 
``Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.'' 
The notice also offered interested parties an opportunity to comment on 
Appendix B to Circular A-133 which was entitled ``Circular A-133 
Compliance Supplement (provisional).'' OMB received comments from eight 
different respondents. In general, commenters were very satisfied with 
the approach and clarity of the document. The 1998 Circular A-133 
Compliance Supplement (1998 Supplement) has been updated to add 47 
additional programs, update for program changes, make technical 
corrections, and make changes reflected in the public comment letters. 
A list of changes to the 1998 Supplement can be found at Appendix 5 of 
the supplement. Due to its length, the 1998 Supplement is not included 
in this Notice. See ADDRESSES for information about how to obtain a

supplement.
