OMB is proposing revisions that would improve transparency, accountability, and oversight for Federal awards across the Federal Government. This includes ensuring that American tax dollars are not wasted or misused, activities performed under Federal awards are consistent with law and policy, and recipients are held accountable when they fail to meet relevant standards. The revisions also aim to ensure that basic American principles of equality and equal opportunity are upheld throughout all stages of the award making process and that unlawful discrimination is no longer permitted. Proposed changes also include providing further clarification on the regulatory status of the OMB requirements and on the process for future updates to the government- wide requirements. Finally, OMB also proposes changes to reduce recipient burden. The listed Federal grant-making agencies propose conforming changes to their respective adopting regulations, or, in the case of some agencies and other entities, establishing new adopting regulations or policies. The proposed changes reflect the administration's commitment to transparency, accountability, and proper oversight for the Federal grantmaking process. The proposed regulations seek to ensure that American tax dollars are ultimately used to serve the needs of the American public.","document_number":"2026-10817","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/29/2026-10817/regulation-for-federal-financial-assistance","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-29/pdf/2026-10817.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf?1779984020","publication_date":"2026-05-29","agencies":[{"raw_name":"OFFICE

The HOLD Act prohibits consideration of the income of the organ transplant recipient in determining eligibility for reimbursement of qualifying non-medical expenses related to living organ donation under LODRP. Consistent with this statutory requirement, HRSA proposes to revise the LODRP eligibility guidelines to eliminate recipient income as a factor in eligibility determinations and to establish a donor-focused eligibility framework based on donor household income and financial need. HRSA will continually monitor the effectiveness and availability of funds for LODRP and further modify the eligibility guidelines in the future if needed.","document_number":"2026-13250","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/01/2026-13250/modification-of-living-organ-donation-reimbursement-program-eligibility-guidelines-in-response-to","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-01/pdf/2026-13250.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13250.pdf?1782823512","publication_date":"2026-07-01","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Health Resources and Services Administration","name":"Health Resources and Services Administration","id":222,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-resources-and-services-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/222","parent_id":221,"slug":"health-resources-and-services-administration"}],"excerpts":"Removal of <span class=\"match\">Recipient</span> HHI as a Criterion for Eligibility for Reimbursement <span class=\"match\">Under</span> LODRP \n \n Per the HOLD Act, “the <span class=\"match\">recipient</span> of a grant <span class=\"match\">under</span> this <span class=\"match\">section</span>, in providing reimbursement to a donating individual through such grant, shall not give any consideration to the income of the organ <span class=\"match\">recipient</span>.” \n 8 \n \n Additionally, the HOLD Act removes the “expectation of payments by organ <span class=\"match\">recipients</span>” as a barrier to eligibility in the program.\n 9 \n \n To comply with these requirements, HRSA will modify LODRP's eligibility guidelines to remove the <span class=\"match\">recipient's</span> HHI as"},{"title":"Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department) issues this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise 45 CFR 84.4(g) in the regulation implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504) as it applies to recipients of HHS funding (entitled \"Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance,\" 89 FR 40066 (\"2024 Final Rule\")), published on May 9, 2024.

BOEM is tasked with managing the development of U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) energy, mineral, and geological resources in an environmentally and economically responsible way. As such, BOEM is proposing to maintain certain provisions of the existing regulations and modify only those elements that, under new market conditions, merit updating. The major proposed amendments in this rule include returning to the previous BOEM practice of considering the financial strength of jointly liable predecessor lessees, revising the credit rating threshold for determining whether oil, gas, and sulfur lessees, right-of-use and easement (RUE) grant holders, and pipeline right-of-way (ROW) grant holders on the OCS are required to provide supplemental financial assurance above the required general financial assurance amount to ensure compliance with their Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) obligations, revising the decommissioning estimate used to determine the amount of supplemental financial assurance required, and revising the appeals bond provision related to the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) appeal procedures. Each of these proposed amendments will be discussed in its corresponding section of this preamble. This proposed rule, if finalized, would significantly reduce the amount of supplemental financial assurance required from oil, gas, and sulfur lessees operating on the OCS, thereby supporting the goals of E.O. 14154 Unleashing American Energy. BOEM estimates that a total of approximately $6.2 billion of financial burden to the regulated community will be reduced. This reduction of the financial burden increases the amount of capital available for oil and gas exploration and production on the OCS.","document_number":"2026-04517","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/09/2026-04517/risk-management-and-financial-assurance-for-ocs-lease-and-grant-obligations","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-09/pdf/2026-04517.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04517.pdf?1772804709","publication_date":"2026-03-09","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Ocean Energy Management","name":"Ocean Energy Management Bureau","id":575,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/ocean-energy-management-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/575","parent_id":253,"slug":"ocean-energy-management-bureau"}],"excerpts":"supplemental <span class=\"match\">financial</span> assurance required from P70 to P50, as described in <span class=\"match\">section</span> II.C of this preamble; \n • revising the list of acceptable supplemental <span class=\"match\">financial</span> assurance instruments for leases to explicitly include dual-obligee <span class=\"match\">financial</span> assurance instruments; \n • adding an alternative option to allow the Regional Director to consider the use of the 3-to-1 proved reserves to decommissioning liabilities ratio for ROW grant holders (when they also have lease rights to the proved reserves) when determining supplemental <span class=\"match\">financial</span> assurance requirements;"},{"title":"Exemption for Certain Prohibited Transactions Involving Meta Platforms, Inc.
