SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    On November 14, 2013, NASA published a proposed rule (78 FR 68376) 
to remove internal procedures for delegation of grant administration 
from the regulation at 14 CFR 1260.70 and 1274.301. The action was 
published with an incorrect RIN number (2700-AE11). On December 26, 
2013, a correction was published (78 FR 78305) to indicate that the 
correct RIN number is 2700-AE12. No public comments were received on 
the proposed rule. NASA will not proceed to finalize this action at 
this time. NASA is currently preparing guidance and regulations to 
implement OMB's Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, 
and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (78 FR 78589, Dec 26, 2013). 
Because implementation of OMB's guidance will necessitate major changes 
to NASA's Grant Handbook, NASA will make changes to internal delegation 
of administration procedures concurrent with or following the 
implementation of OMB's uniform requirements.
