Sec. 74.4  Deviations.

    The Secretary, after consultation with the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB), may grant exceptions for classes of grants or recipients 
subject to the requirements of this part when exceptions are not 
prohibited by statute. However, in the interest of maximum uniformity, 
exceptions from the requirements of this part are permitted only in 
unusual circumstances. The Secretary may apply more restrictive 
requirements to a class of recipients when approved by OMB. The 
Secretary may apply less restrictive requirements when awarding small 
awards, except for those requirements which are statutory. Exceptions on 
a case-by-case basis may also be made by the Secretary.
