    PART 74_UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR AWARDS AND SUBAWARDS TO 

INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, HOSPITALS, OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, 

AND COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS--Table of Contents

 

                            Subpart A_General

 

Sec.  74.4  Deviations.



    (a) After consultation with OMB, the HHS OGAM may grant exceptions 

to HHS awarding agencies for classes of awards 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. HHS awarding agencies may apply more restrictive 

requirements to a class of awards or recipients when approved by the 

OGAM, after consultation with the OMB. HHS awarding agencies may apply 

less restrictive requirements without approval by the OGAM when making 

small awards except for those requirements which are statutory. 

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

agencies without seeking prior approval from the OGAM. OGAM will 

maintain a record of all requests for exceptions from the provisions of 

this part that have been approved for classes of awards or recipients.

    (b) As a matter of Departmental policy, requests for individual case 

deviations will be considered favorably by HHS and its awarding agencies 

whenever the deviation will facilitate comprehensive or integrated 

service delivery, or multiple-source consolidated awards, unless the 

deviation would impair the integrity of the program.
