Sec. 19.4  Deviations.



    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 

shall be permitted only in unusual circumstances. Federal awarding 

agencies may apply more restrictive requirements to a class of 

recipients when approved by OMB. All requests for class deviations shall 

be processed through the Assistant Secretary for Administration. Federal 

awarding agencies may apply less restrictive requirements when awarding 

small awards, except for those requirements which are statutory, subject 

to the concurrence of the Assistant Secretary for Administration. 

Exceptions on a case-by-case basis may also be made by Federal awarding 

agencies, with the concurrence of the Assistant Secretary for 

Administration to ensure conformance with Department of Transportation 

grant administration policies.
