2026

On Friday, May 29, 2026, the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published proposed revisions to the framework governing federal grants management and the use of federal grant funds. The proposal covers Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, including 2 CFR Part 200, the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). If implemented, these changes would affect the operations and use of federal funds by all federal grant recipients, including Community Action Agencies (CAAs). This article includes CAPLAW’s initial review of the proposed changes.
