It’s Back – DCAA’s Non-Defense Audit Authority Revived

A recent DCAA policy memorandum lifted the moratorium on DCAA performing non-Defense audits, which (as discussed here) effectively applied only to incurred cost audits. Specifically, because DCAA has purportedly "met the requirement of less than 18 months of incurred cost inventory" outlined in the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act as of October 1, 2016, DCAA "may again provide full audit support for non-Defense agencies" and the Operations Directorate "has coordinated at the Executive level with [its] reimbursable customers to inform them that [its] audit services can resume."

HHS Suggests It Will Provide Less Notice and Opportunity for Comment on Grant and Contract Rules
On February 28, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that it was rescinding the Richardson Waiver, a policy in place since 1971 which said HHS would provide notice of proposed rulemaking in certain cases where it was not otherwise required to do so by law. This announcement signals a policy shift for the agency and suggests that where permitted by law, HHS will generally now issue rules relating to “agency management or personnel or to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts” without providing notice and comment to stakeholders, and may otherwise find good cause to forego notice and comment procedures.
