4    CFR 200, the rules shall establish principles for
5    determining the allowable costs incurred by non-federal
6    entities under State and federal pass-through awards. The
7    principles are intended for cost determination, but are not
8    intended to identify the circumstances or dictate the
9    extent of State or federal pass-through participation in
10    financing a particular program or project. The principles
11    shall provide that State and federal awards bear their fair
12    share of cost recognized under these principles, except
13    where restricted or prohibited by State or federal law.
14        (3) Audit and single audit requirements and audit

17    shall set forth standards to obtain consistency and
18    uniformity among State and federal pass-through awarding
19    agencies for the audit of non-federal entities expending
20    State and federal awards. These provisions shall also set
21    forth the policies and procedures for State and federal
22    pass-through entities when using the results of these
23    audits.
24        The provisions of this item (3) do not apply to
25    for-profit subrecipients because for-profit subrecipients

5    the State awarding agency must prepare a Program Audit
6    Guide in accordance with the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance
7    Supplement. For-profit entities are subject to all other
8    general administrative requirements and cost principles
9    applicable to grants.
10    (b) This Act addresses only State and federal pass-through
11auditing functions and does not address the external audit
12function of the Auditor General.
13    (c) For public institutions of higher education, the
14provisions of this Section apply only to awards funded by State
15appropriations and federal pass-through awards from a State

19federal guidelines under 2 CFR 200.

22by for-profit subrecipients. The agreement with the for-profit
23subrecipient shall describe the applicable compliance
24requirements and the for-profit subrecipient's compliance
25responsibility. Methods to ensure compliance for State and
