Office of the Chief Financial Officer


Agency Programs Subject to Intergovernmental Review

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Financial Officer, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is 
publishing an updated list of USDA financial assistance programs which 
States may choose to review under their Single Point of Contact (SPOC) 
intergovernmental review processes. These programs are also eligible 
for intergovernmental review by directly affected State, areawide, 
regional, and local entities if a State does not have a SPOC or chooses 
not to review an application for USDA financial assistance. USDA is 
streamlining the intergovernmental review process.

DATES: The list of financial assistance programs will be posted on the 
USDA website beginning April 7, 2022 and updated annually.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyson P. Whitney, Office of the Chief 
Financial Officer, Director, Transparency and Accountability Reporting 
Division, United States Department of Agriculture, 1400 Independence 
Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20250-9011, 202-720-8978, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As provided in 2 CFR 415.5, USDA published a 
notice in the Federal Register on December 4, 1987 (52 FR 46109) which 
listed USDA financial assistance programs subject to review under 
Executive Order 12372 and Section 204 of the Demonstration Cities and 
Metropolitan Development Act (Section 204) and Section 401(a) of the 
Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (Section 401). This notice 
advises the public of the availability of a current list of USDA 
programs which States may choose to (1) review under their official 
Executive Order 12372 SPOC process or (2) are subject to the review 
process described at 2 CFR 415.9(a) if it does not have a SPOC or 
elects not to include an USDA program in the SPOC process. Executive 
Order 12372 exempts tribal programs from intergovernmental review.
    As part of a streamlining initiative, rather than posting changes 
to the list in Federal Register notices, USDA's list of financial 
assistance programs subject to intergovernmental review will be posted 
on the USDA Office of the Chief Financial Officer website at https://www.ocfo.usda.gov/FederalFinancialAssistancePolicy. USDA will provide 
updates to the website annually.
