Assistance Regulations; Technical and Administrative Amendments

The Department of Energy (DOE) is amending the Department of Energy Assistance Regulations to make technical and administrative changes. These changes include: revising a definition for clarity, updating titles and addresses, changing an approval authority, eliminating provisions that contain internal procedures for DOE officials, removing obsolete coverage, eliminating redundant coverage, and correcting a typographical error. These changes are technical and administrative in nature and have no significant impact on non-agency persons, such as recipients or applicants. The uniform administrative requirements for grants and cooperative agreements with institutions of higher education, hospitals, other non-profit organizations, commercial organizations, and state and local governments are not changed by this rule.
