    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On April 22, 2024, OMB issued a final rule revising its Guidance for Grants and Agreements, henceforth to be known as the OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance, effective October 1, 2024 (89 FR 30046, April 22, 2024).

    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.
