Part 2: Overview of U.S. Treasury Webinar on Project and Expenditure Reports for ARPA Recovery Funds

The U.S. Senate passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) to extend government funding through December 11 and delay the OMB proposed rule on Unform Guidance that governs how every federal grant can be administered.

The Senate Appropriations Committee releases CR language to fund the government until December 11 and delay the OMB proposed rule on Uniform Guidance that governs how every federal grant can be administered, a major win for counties.

Federal grant programs represent significant funding opportunities for counties, but technical jargon and limited staff capacity make them especially hard for small and rural counties to access.

NACo urges counties to reach out to Senators opposing immediate and unfunded changes to election administration in the SAVE America Act (H.R. 7296/S. 1383), which the House passed as part the National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 8800).

NACo submitted comments to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on its proposed rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200, the Uniform Guidance governing federal grants. 

Counties everywhere are facing fundamental changes in the intergovernmental relationship how the federal government administers grants. Comments on a proposed OMB rule are dule by 11:59 ET July 13.
