Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Regulation Delay
The United States Congress passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) delaying the implementation of the proposed OMB regulation until December 11th. The regulation proposes sweeping changes to federal grant making to overhaul the set of rules, known as the Uniform Guidance, governing federal grants, cooperative agreements, and other monetary awards to nonprofits, state and local governments, and other grantees. The National Council of Nonprofits has provided a detailed list of these changes.
