DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Application of the Revised Version of the Uniform Guidance to 
Department Grants

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, 
Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces updates to awardees' Grant Award 
Notices (GANs) to apply the 2024 revision of the Uniform Administrative 
Requirements, Cost Principles, And Audit Requirements for Federal 
Awards the Uniform Guidance to all Department grants that are subject 
to the Uniform Guidance.

DATES: This change is effective January 16, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 22, 2024, the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) published a final rule in the Federal Register that 
revised the Uniform Guidance (89 FR 30046). This final rule, effective 
as of October 1, 2024, provided new flexibilities and due process 
protections to grantees, and also clarified several grant requirements. 
In order to ensure that the new flexibilities and due process 
protections for grantees set out in that revised 2024 guidance apply 
uniformly to Department grantees, we have updated the terms and 
conditions of Department grants to clarify that the revised Uniform 
Guidance (89 FR 30136, April 22, 2024) is the version that applies to 
all Department grants that are subject to the Uniform Guidance.
    Specifically, the Department is adding the following condition to 
Box 10 of its Grant Award Notifications (GANs):

    By the drawdown of funds under this GAN, the grantee accepts 
that this award is subject to the requirements of the Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements 
for Federal Awards; Title 2 CFR part 200 as revised at 89 FR 30136-
30208 (April 22, 2024).

    While grantees will not automatically receive a new printed GAN, 
the updated Box 10 and this notice supersede any previous GAN or notice 
that applied an earlier version of the Uniform Guidance. Grantees are 
not required to take any action other than continuing to draw down 
funds to take advantage of this change but are encouraged to maintain a 
copy of this notice within their grant files as documentation for grant 
management and auditing purposes.
