10    When a non-federal entity is awarded a cost-reimbursement

19requirements other than those covered in Subpart D of 2 CFR
20200.330 through 200.332, the terms of the contract and the
21Federal Acquisition Regulations apply.

23required by the Single Audit Act, in any circumstances where
24the provisions of federal statutes or regulations differ from

9United States or the statute or regulations of a foreign
10government.

20monitor and address noncompliance with reporting requirements
21and with program performance standards. Where applicable, the
22process may include a corrective action plan. The monitoring
23process shall include a plan for tracking and documenting
