    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

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.
