LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

45 CFR Parts 1630 and 1631

[Docket No. LSC-2017-0028]


Cost Standards and Procedures; Purchasing and Property 
Management; Correction

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is correcting a final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register on August 10, 2017. LSC's 
Property Acquisition and Management Manual (PAMM) and its cost 
standards rule required grantees to seek approval prior to making any 
real estate purchase with LSC funds, regardless of the purchase price. 
The final rule's language describing this longstanding policy was 
incorrect. This document corrects the language to remain consistent 
with LSC's current policy. The document also contained an incorrect 
cross-reference to another section. This document corrects the final 
rule by revising that cross-reference.

DATES: Effective December 31, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stefanie K. Davis, Assistant General 
Counsel, Legal Services Corporation, 3333 K St. NW., Washington, DC 
20007; (202) 295-1563; [email protected].
