2    Subparts B through D of 2 CFR 200, the rules shall set
3    forth the uniform administrative requirements for grant
4    and cooperative agreements, including the requirements for

2    forth the policies and procedures for State and federal
3    pass-through entities when using the results of these

8    Audits of States, Local and Non-Profit Organizations.
9    Audits of for-profit subrecipients must be conducted
10    pursuant to a Program Audit Guide issued by the Federal
11    awarding agency. If a Program Audit Guide is not available,
12    the State awarding agency must prepare a Program Audit
13    Guide in accordance with the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance
14    Supplement. For-profit entities are subject to all other
15    general administrative requirements and cost principles
16    applicable to grants.
17    (b) This Act addresses only State and federal pass-through
18auditing functions and does not address the external audit
19function of the Auditor General.
20    (c) For public institutions of higher education, the
21provisions of this Section apply only to awards funded by State
22appropriations and federal pass-through awards from a State
23agency to public institutions of higher education. Federal
