Federal Grants: OMB Circular A-110 (34 CFR Part 74) (also codified in 2 CFR Part 215) Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) and NonProfit Organizations State and Federal Grants: Texas – Uniform Grants Management Standards (UGMS) (Authority – Tx Gov’t. Code, Chapter 783, Uniform Grant and Contract Management Standards Act of 1981) – instructed Governor to develop and implement a set of uniform grant administrative requirements for state-funded grants Copyright © Texas Education Agency 2012

3 Sources of Grant Requirements
U. S. Constitution – Ex: Due Process; nondiscrimination Statutes and Executive Orders – Ex: Civil Rights, Privacy Act, Lobbying, DrugFree Workplace, Americans with Disabilities Act; mandatory but may have some flexibility in how to comply Authorizing program statute OMB Circulars – government wide Considered by federal courts to be mandatory and binding on grantees as condition of accepting grant awards Agency wide regulations – Ex: EDGAR (Education Department General Administrative Regulations) All regulations have the full force and effect of law Program regulations, handbooks, guidelines, etc. – Education regulations are codified in 34 CFR. Unless contrary to other regulations, they are mandatory and binding. Non-regulatory guidance is not mandatory and binding, but if grantee implements according to guidance, they will be considered to be in compliance Grant agreement Copyright © Texas Education Agency 2012

4 General Principles of Applicability
When possible, individual grant requirements should be read in conjunction with all other grant administration requirements. When there is more than one consistent grant requirement, the more specific requirement should govern When grant requirements are inconsistent, courts and agencies generally apply in the following order: 1. Constitution takes precedence over statute 2. Statute takes precedence over regulations 3. Published regulations take precedence over unpublished requirements Copyright © Texas Education Agency 2012
