National Endowment for the Arts Implementation of OMB Guidance on Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension
AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, National Endowment for the Arts, Arts.
SUMMARY: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) implements Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on nonprocurement suspension and debarment, issued on August 31, 2005 [70 FR 51863], by adopting the guidelines in a new part in title 2 of the CFR, the Government-wide title recently established for OMB guidance on grants and agreements, and removing 45 CFR part 1154, the part containing the NEA implementation of the government-wide common rule on nonprocurement debarment and suspension. This regulatory action would make no substantive change in NEA policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.
DATES: Effective Date:The rule will become effective March 12, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: National Endowment for the Arts, ATTN: Federal Register, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 518, Washington, DC 20506; or Laura Nelson, (202) 682-5595.
This final rule implements the OMB guidance and does not make any changes in current policies and procedures.
This rule is not significant because the replacement of the common rule with OMB guidance and a brief NEA adopting regulation does not make any changes in current polices and procedures.

§ 3254.20 Does this part apply to me?
§ 3254.30 What policies and procedures must I follow?
The NEA policies and procedures that you must follow are the policies and procedures specified in each applicable section of the OMB guidance in Subparts A through I of 2 CFR part 180, as that section is supplemented by the section in this part with the same section number. The contracts that are covered transactions, for example, are specified by section 220 of the OMB guidance (i.e., 2 CFR 180.220) as supplemented by section 220 in this part (i.e., § 3254.220). For any section of OMB guidance in Subparts A through I of 2 CFR 180 that has no corresponding section in this part, NEA policies and procedures are those in the OMB guidance.
