Sec. 96.16  Applicability of title XVII of the Reconciliation Act (31 U.S.C. 7301-7305).

    This section interprets the applicability of the general provisions 
governing block grants set forth in title XVII of the Reconciliation Act 
(31 U.S.C. 7301-7305):
    (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section or unless 
inconsistent with provisions in the individual block grant statutes, 31 
U.S.C. 7301-7305 apply to the community services, preventive health and 
health services, and alcohol and drug abuse and mental health services 
block grants.
    (b) The requirement in 31 U.S.C. 7303(b) relating to public hearings 
does not apply to any of the block grants governed by this part. 
Instead, the provisions in the individual block grant statutes apply.
    (c) The maternal and child health services block grant is not 
subject to any requirements of 31 U.S.C. 7301-7305.
    (d) The social services and low-income home energy assistance 
programs are subject only to 31 U.S.C. 7304.
    (e) The audit provisions of 31 U.S.C. 7305 have, in most cases, been 
overridden by the Single Audit Act. Pub. L. 98-502, 31 U.S.C. 75, et 
seq., and do not apply to the block grants. Pursuant to 
Sec. 96.31(b)(2), certain entities may, however, elect to conduct audits 
under the block grant audit provisions. For entities making this 
election, the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 7305 apply to the community 
services block grant.
    (f) The applicability of 31 U.S.C. 7303(a) relating to the contents 
of a report on proposed uses of funds is specified in Sec. 96.10.
