SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: The 2020
Addendum (2 CFR part 200, subpart F,
appendix XI) adds 5 new COVID–19
programs and updates 9 current
programs for COVID–19 related
compliance requirements. Consistent
with the President’s Management
Agenda, Cross Agency Priority (CAP)
goal number 8, ‘‘Results-Oriented
Accountability for Grants,’’ Federal
awarding agencies are encouraged to
begin a paradigm shift in grants
management from one heavy on
compliance to a balanced approach that
includes establishing measurable
program and project goals and analyzing
data to improve results. To that end, the
2020 Addendum continues the
reduction of the compliance areas for
auditor review in part 2, Matrix from a
maximum of twelve to six, which was
first implemented in the 2019
Supplement, and requires a review for
performance reporting, where
applicable.
The 2020 Addendum also includes an
increased emphasis on transparency
related requirements, including a
requirement for auditor’s to review the
Federal Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act (FFATA) subaward
reporting requirements for the COVID–
19 programs included in this
Addendum, where applicable. In
addition, these requirements apply to all
programs for audits with fiscal year-
ending after September 30, 2020.

Acting Deputy Controller.

[NRC–2018–0294]
RIN 3150–AK26
Updates and Clarifications on the
Export of Nuclear Material
AGENCY
: Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION
: Final rule.
SUMMARY
: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is amending its
export and import regulations to
maintain the regulatory status quo for
nuclear exports to the United Kingdom
(U.K.), upon the entry into force of a
new civil nuclear cooperation
agreement between the United States
(U.S.) and the U.K. (the U.S.-U.K. 123
Agreement). The amendment will add
the U.K. to the list of countries eligible
to receive certain small quantities of
special nuclear material under a general
license, and to the list of countries
whose export license applications do
not require Executive Branch or
Commission level reviews for certain
exports of source material or low-
enriched uranium. This amendment is
necessary to bring the NRC’s regulations
into conformity with U.S. Government
foreign policy and preserve existing
provisions for nuclear exports to the
U.K.
DATES
: This final rule is effective on
December 31, 2020.
