SUMMARY: This document contains an amendment to the regulations

of assistance awards to U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 19, 1995, USAID issued an interim final rule at 22 CFR 
part 226 which implemented Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
Circular A-110.

Need for Amendment

    As published, the regulation unduly limits the use of financial 
reporting forms to Standard Form 269 and Standard Form 270. The purpose 
of the amendment is to relieve this restriction and allow any such 
forms as OMB approves. OMB now requires Federal Agencies to use the 
Federal Financial Report (Standard Form 425 or 425a) to give recipients 
of grants and cooperative agreements a standard format for reporting 
the financial status of their grants and cooperative agreements (68 FR 
17097, 73 FR 47246).

List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 226

Accordingly, 22 CFR part 226 is amended by making the following 
technical amendment:

obtaining financial information as may be approved by OMB.
