Adopted verbatim

NOTE: As Federal statues are enacted or revised, certain changes are automatic to A-110. For example, on August 29, 1997 (62 FR 45937), an interim final rule was issued to A-110 to implement the provisions of the 6/24/97 revision of OMB circular A-133, which combined the former A-133 and A-128 audit circulars. Another statue change resulted in the threshold for the imposition of the Central Work Hours and Safety Standards Act to be effective at the $100,000 grant award level. Likewise, other changes also have become or will become automatic, such as the redefinition of "simplified acquisition" (formerly called small purchase) threshold to $100,000 and the requirement for all federal payments to become electronic as of 1/1/99.
