GULF COAST ECOSYSTEM 

RESTORATION COUNCIL 

2 CFR Part 5900 

[Docket Number: 112102020–1111–02] 

Uniform Administrative Requirements, 

Cost Principles, and Audit 

Requirements for Federal Awards 

AGENCY: Gulf Coast Ecosystem 

Restoration Council. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Gulf Coast Ecosystem 

Restoration Council (Council) publishes 

this rule to amend the Council’s 

regulation on the Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards, to align with the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

recent amendments to its regulations on 

Grants and Agreements. 

DATES: This rule is effective February 8, 

2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kristin Smith at 504–444–3558 or 

Kristin.smith@restorethegulf.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 19, 2014, OMB issued an 

interim final rule that implemented for 

all Federal award-making agencies the 

final guidance on Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). In 

that interim final rule, Federal awarding 

agencies, including the Council, joined 

together to implement the Uniform 

Guidance in their respective chapters of 

title 2 of the CFR, and, where approved 

by the Office of OMB, implemented any 

exceptions to the Uniform Guidance by 

including the relevant language in their 

regulations. The intent of this effort was 

to simultaneously reduce administrative 

burden and the risk of waste, fraud, and 

abuse while delivering better 

performance. Implementation of the 

Uniform Guidance became effective on 

December 26, 2014 (79 FR 75867, 

December 19, 2014) and must be 

reviewed every five years in accordance 

with 2 CFR 200.109. 

OMB has revised sections of OMB 

Guidance for Grants and Agreements, 

effective November 12, 2020, except for 

the amendments to §§ 200.216 and 

200.340, which were effective on 

August 13, 2020. (85 FR 49506, August 

13, 2020). The Council publishes this 

final rule to adopt those revisions, 

without exception. 

Classification 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule contains no collections of 

information subject to the requirements 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3506). Notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, no person is required 

to respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless 

that collection displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because notice and opportunity for 

comment are not required pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the 

analytical requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis is not 

required and has not been prepared.
