AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Announcement regarding

amendments to certain cost principles.

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces

revisions to Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) Circular A–21, ‘‘Cost

Principles for Educational Institutions,’’

which is used by the Department of

Education in administering grant

programs. The preambles to previously

published final rulemaking documents

specified Circular A–21 as amended

through certain dates as the text of the

Circular used for Department of

Education programs. The Secretary

specifies in this document subsequent

OMB amendments to Circular A–21 and

adopts those amendments for grant

programs administered by the

Department.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This notice takes effect

on February 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Glenn Riley, U.S. Department of

Education, 600 Independence Avenue,

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time,

Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6,

1994, the Secretary published a revision

to Part 74—Administration of Grants

and Agreements with Institutions of

Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other

Nonprofit Organizations (59 FR 34722).

Also, on March 11, 1988, the Secretary

published a new Part 80—Uniform

Administrative Requirements for Grants

and Cooperative Agreements to State

and Local Governments (53 FR 8071).

These documents established OMB

Circular A–21 as the cost principles

used by the Department of Education for

educational institutions (34 CFR 74.27,

80.22). The preamble to the 1988

document specified all OMB

amendments to Circular A–21 as

amended through December 2, 1986 and

the preamble to the 1994 document all

amendments made by OMB to Circular

A–21 through October 3, 1991. Each of

these preambles adopted for Department

of Education programs the text of A–21

as amended through the dates specified

in those publications.

On July 26, 1993, OMB published

amendments to Circular A–21 at 58 FR

39996. This notice adopts for 34 CFR

part 80 the changes made by OMB on

October 3, 1991 and July 26, 1993, and

adopts for 34 CFR part 74 the changes

made by OMB on July 26, 1993. The

changes adopted in this announcement

bind all recipients of Department grants

and cooperative agreements to the

requirements of Circular A–21 as

amended through July 26, 1993. These

cost principles apply to educational

institutions, except to the extent

program regulations or the Department’s

administrative regulations require a

different outcome.

OMB Circular A–21 was originally

published in the Federal Register on

March 6, 1979, at 44 FR 12368. It has

been amended several times prior to the

amendment made on July 26, 1993, as

follows: On August 3, 1982, at 47 FR

33658, on June 9, 1986, at 51 FR 20908,

on December 2, 1986, at 51 FR 43487,

and on October 3, 1991, at 56 FR 50224.

The circular, as amended, is adopted by

the Department. It is available by calling

the Publications Unit for the Executive

Office of the President at (202) 395–

7332, or by writing the Executive Office

of the President, Publications, room

2200, New Executive Office Building,

725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC

20503.

Waiver of Notice and Comment

It is the practice of the Secretary to

offer interested parties the opportunity

to comment on proposed actions in

accordance with the Administrative

Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). However,

since an opportunity was previously

provided by OMB for public comment

on the October 1991 changes to the

Circular at 56 FR 22618 on May 15,

1991 and at 56 FR 29530 on June 27,

1991 and, regarding the July 1993

amendments, an opportunity was

previously provided by OMB for public

comment on that amendment to OMB

Circular A–21 (57 FR 58394; December

9, 1992), the Secretary finds that

soliciting further public comment with

respect to adoption of the revised

circular is unnecessary and contrary to

the public interest under 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B).

Number does not apply.)
