SUMMARY:
any information you would not like to
be made publically available.
The 2020 Supplement is available
online on the OMB home page at
https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
offices/offm.
Recipients and auditors should contact
their cognizant or oversight agency for
audit, or Federal awarding agency, as
appropriate under the circumstances.
The Federal agency contacts are listed
in appendix III of the Supplement.
Subrecipients should contact their passthrough entity. Federal agencies should
contact Gil Tran at Hai_M._Tran@
omb.eop.gov or (202) 395–3052 or the
OMB Grants team at GrantsTeam@
omb.eop.gov.
The 2020
Supplement (2 CFR part 200, subpart F,
appendix XI) adds 3 new programs,
deletes 6 expired programs and provides
updates on many other programs, where
necessary. Consistent with the
President’s Management Agenda, Cross
Agency Priority (CAP) goal number 8,
‘‘Results-Oriented Accountability for
Grants,’’ Federal awarding agencies are
encouraged to begin a paradigm shift in
grants management from one heavy on
compliance to a balanced approach that
includes establishing measurable
program and project goals and analyzing
data to improve results. To that end, the
2020 Compliance Supplement continues
the reduction of the compliance areas
for auditor review in part 2, Matrix from
a maximum of twelve to six, which was
first implemented in the 2019
Supplement, and requires a review for
performance reporting for 29 programs
under part 4. OMB will work with
Federal awarding agencies in future
Supplements that will further
emphasize the review on performance.
This year’s Supplement also includes
guidance related to Coronavirus
administrative relief included in the
four OMB memoranda in appendix VII
of the Supplement. OMB plans to work
with Federal awarding agencies to
identify the new COVID–19 programs
with special compliance and reporting
requirements that will be included as an
Addendum to this Supplement, as
appropriate. OMB intends to balance the
review of both compliance and

10 CFR Part 430
RIN 1904–AE36
Energy Conservation Program: Test
Procedures for Cooking Products
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
On August 9, 2019, as a result
of a petition from the Association of
Home Appliance Manufacturers
(AHAM) and data received in response
to that petition, the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NOPR) proposing
to withdraw the test procedure for
conventional cooking tops established
under the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (EPCA). In this final
rule, DOE withdraws the test procedure
for conventional cooking tops under
EPCA. DOE has determined that the
conventional cooking tops test
procedure is not representative of
energy use or efficiency during an
average use cycle and is overly
burdensome to conduct.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is
September 17, 2020. The incorporation
by reference of certain publications
listed in this rule was approved by the
Director of the Federal Register on April
8, 2011 and December 17, 2012.
ADDRESSES: The docket is available for
review at https://www.regulations.gov.
All documents in the docket are listed
in the https://www.regulations.gov index.
However, some documents listed in the
index may not be publicly available,
such as those containing information
that is exempt from public disclosure.
