effect on October 1, 2024. </p> <p>The revision of this OMB guidance was conducted to reduce administrative burden for non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards while reducing the risk of waste, fraud and abuse by streamling and enhancing federal grant management, promoting greater efficiency and accountability in the administration of federal funds.</p> <p>The purpose of the Tribal listening
