Internet users may also reach the Office of the Federal Register’s home page at: https://www.nara.gov/fedreg and the Government Printing Office’s Web page at: https://www.access.gpo.gov/ nara. Background Regulations governing two types of U.S. Department of Transportation grant and cooperative agreement recipients are found in Parts 18 and 19 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations: 1. 49 CFR Part 18: Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. 2. 49 CFR Part 19: Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations Both of these parts contain a provision that governs allowable costs. However, while 49 CFR 18.22(a) identifies certain specific limitations on the use of grant or cooperative agreement funds by state or local governments receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Transportation, 49 CFR 19.27 does not contain similar limitations. Specifically, under 49 CFR 18.22(a), grant funds may only be used for: (1) The allowable costs of the grantees, subgrantees and cost-type contractors, including allowable costs in the form of payments to fixed-price contractors; and (2) Reasonable fees or profit to cost-type contractors but not any fee or profit (or other increment above allowable costs) to the grantee or subgrantee. This proposal would impose the same limitation on the use of funds used for grants and agreements with institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other non-profit organizations as there are on the use of funds used for uniform administrative requirements for grants and cooperative agreements to state and local governments, which are set forth above. In addition, this proposal would update references to applicable cost principles for grants and cooperative agreements with state and local governments that appear in 49 CFR 18.22(b) and include comparable updated references in 49 CFR 19.27(b) with regard to grants and agreements awarded to institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other non- E:\FR\FM\02MYP1.SGM 02MYP1
