48 CFR Chapter 99


Federal Regulations, Guidance, OFPP Policy Letters, and CASB Cost 
Accounting Standards Included in the Semiannual Agenda of Federal 
Activities

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is publishing its 
semiannual agenda of upcoming activities for Federal regulations, OMB 
Guidance, Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Policy Letters, 
and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) Board Cost Accounting Standards.
    OMB Guidance and OFPP Policy Letters are published in accordance 
with OMB's internal procedures for implementing Executive Order 12866 
(58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993)). OMB policy guidelines are issued under 
authority derived from several sources, including: Subtitles I, II, and 
V of title 31, U.S. Code; Executive Order 11541; and other specific 
authority as cited. OMB Guidance and OFPP Policy Letters communicate 
guidance and instructions of a continuing nature to executive branch 
agencies. As such, most OMB Guidance and OFPP Policy Letters are not 
regulations. Nonetheless, because these issuances are typically of 
interest to the public, they are generally published in the Federal 
Register at both the proposed (for public comment) and final stages. 
For this reason, they are presented below in the standard format of 
``pre-rule,'' ``proposed rule,'' and ``final rule'' stages.
    CASB Cost Accounting Standards are issued under authority derived 
from 41 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. Cost Accounting Standards are rules 
governing the measurement, assignment, and allocation of costs to 
contracts entered into with the United States Government.
    For purposes of this agenda, we have excluded directives that 
outline procedures to be followed in connection with the President's 
budget and legislative programs, as well as directives that affect only 
the internal functions, management, or personnel of Federal agencies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See the agency contact person listed 
for each entry in the agenda, c/o Office of Management and Budget, 
Washington, DC 20503. On the overall agenda, contact Laura Dennehy,

339. 2 CFR Changes To Address Statutory and/or Regulatory Needs

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Not subject to, not significant.
    Legal Authority: 31 U.S.C. 503
    Abstract: The Office of Management and Budget will pursue proposed 
rulemaking to revise parts of title 2 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (2 CFR) Subtitle A--OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements 
(Guidance). The Guidance is scheduled for review every five years after

proposed revisions are to address burden reduction for recipients, fix 
inconsistent terminology, resolve conflict within areas of 2 CFR, 
incorporate the President's Management Agenda, and address statutes 
enacted since the final guidance was issued.
