For awards made after December 26, 2014, 2 CFR 200 and EPA’s implementation of 2 CFR 200 at 2 CFR 1500 ‘‘Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards’’ establishes the management requirements for all entity types. These regulations include only those provisions mandated by statute, required by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars, or added by EPA to ensure sound and effective financial assistance management. For all awards, 40 CFR part 33 ‘‘Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Procurement under Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Financial Assistance Agreements’’ establishes DBE utilization requirements for all entity types. These regulations include only those provisions mandated by statue or added by EPA to ensure sound and effective financial assistance management with respect to DBE utilization. This ICR combines all of these requirements under OMB Control Number 2030–0020. The information required by these regulations will be used by EPA award officials to make assistance awards and assistance payments and to verify that the recipient is using Federal funds appropriately.
