Abstract: This is to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renew the three-year approved clearance for the information collection, entitled, "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards" (2CFR 200) with OMB Control No 2105-0520. Originally the OMB guidance under this Control Number was titled: Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements to State and Local Governments and with Institution of Higher Education, Hospitals and Other Non-Profit Organizations (OMB Circulars A-110 and 2 CFR 215). However, on December 26, 2014, OMB issued new guidelines titled: Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and these guidelines cover the following data collection standard forms (SF): Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424); Federal Financial Report (SF 425); Request for Advance or Reimbursement (SF-270); and Outlay Report & Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs (SF-271).
