2 Page I-2 Proposed FTA C 5010.1E The circular revision also incorporates provisions of the Office of Management and Budget, "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards," (referred to as the Super Circular or Uniform Guidance),2 CFR part 200. The Super Circular,2 CFR part 200, supersedes and streamlines the administrative and cost principles provisions of requirements from former OMB Circulars A-21,A-87,A-102,A- 110, and A-122, administrative requirements. The Super Circular also supersedes former OMB Circulars A-89,pertaining to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, and former OMB Circulars A-133,which addressed the Single Audit Act, and A-50,which addressed Single Audit Act follow-up. U.S.DOT regulations,"Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards,"2 CFR part 1201, supersedes and replaces the requirements of the DOT Common Rule,former 49 CFR parts 18 and 19, except that former 49 CFR parts 18 and 19 will continue to apply to Grant and Cooperative Agreements awarded before December 26,2014,as in effect on the date of such Grant or Cooperative Agreements(See information below for further clarity). The final guidance consolidates the guidance previously contained in the aforementioned regulations and circulars into a streamlined format that aims to improve both the clarity and accessibility.DOT's Common Rule, 2 CFR part 1201,incorporates the OMB guidance by reference and makes that guidance part of the DOT regulation. The OMB final guidance is located in 2 CFR,part 200. Copies of 2 CFR part 200 and the former OMB Circulars that are superseded by this guidance are available on OMB's Web site at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars default/. 3.
