-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council publishes this 
rule to adopt as a final rule, without change, a joint interim final 
rule published with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for all 
Federal award-making agencies that implemented guidance on Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements 
for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). This rule is necessary to 
incorporate into a regulation and thus bring into effect the Uniform 
Guidance as required by OMB for the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration 
Council.

DATES: This rule is effective January 8, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristin Smith at 504-444-3558 or 
Kristin.smith@restorethegulf.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2014, OMB issued an interim 
final rule that implemented for all Federal award-making agencies the 
final guidance on Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, 
and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). In that 
interim final rule, Federal awarding agencies, including the Gulf Coast 
Ecosystem Restoration Council (Council), joined together to implement 
the Uniform Guidance in their respective chapters of title 2 of the 
CFR, and, where approved by OMB, implemented any exceptions to the 
Uniform Guidance by including the relevant language in their 
regulations. The interim final rule went into effect on December 26, 
2014. The public comment period for the interim final rule closed on 
February 17, 2015. The interim final rule was modified on July 22, 2015 
(80 FR 43310) to add Appendix XII (Award Term and Condition for 
Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters) as required by section 872 
of Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313).
    The Council publishes this final rule to adopt the provisions of 
the interim final rule. The Council did not request any exceptions to 
the Uniform Guidance and did not provide any language beyond what was 
included in 2 CFR part 200. The Council did not receive any public 
comments on its regulations. Accordingly, the Council makes no changes 
to the interim final rule.

Classification

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule contains no collections of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3506). 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to 
respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to 
comply with, a collection of information subject to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act unless that collection displays a currently valid OMB 
Control Number.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not 
required and has not been prepared.

Executive Order 12868

    Pursuant to Executive Order 12866, OMB has determined this final 
rule to be not significant.

    Accordingly, the interim rule amending 2 CFR part 5900 which was 
published at 79 FR 75867 on December 19, 2014, is adopted as a final 
rule without change.
