In the September 28, 2016, Federal Register, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service ("FNS") issued a final rule amending FNS regulations to implement the Department of Agriculture's final guidance of USDA-specific requirements in the Federal Agency Regulations for Grants and Agreements. Prior to that, on December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") published "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards." There are more than 100 references throughout 19 Parts of the FNS regulations that must be revised to accurately reference the revised OMB and USDA regulations. FNS is therefore proposing nomenclature revisions to the following Parts of Title 7: 210, 215, 220, 225, 226, 227, 235, 240, 246, 247, 248, 249, 253, 272, 273, 274, 276, and 277. The rule was effective September 28, 2016.
