of the DGARS, are to provide uniform policies and procedures for grants

DoD needs for:
    (1) Efficient program execution, effective program oversight, and 
proper stewardship of Federal funds.
    (2) Compliance with relevant statutes; Executive orders; and 
applicable guidance, such as Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
circulars.
    (3) Collection from DoD Components, retention, and dissemination of 
management and fiscal data related to grants and agreements.

designee:
    (1) Develops and implements DGARS policies and procedures.
    (2) Issues and maintains the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations and 
other DoD publications that comprise the DGARS.
