 On September 27, 1996, the Department announced the applicability of
 revised Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A-21, "Cost
 Principles for Educational Institutions," revised by OMB in the
 Federal Register of May 8, 1996, (61 FR 20880), and A-133, "Audits

 The text of the Federal Register announcement is located in Appendix A.

Does that help?

I understand from my grants accountant that there is a newish USDE reg that
states that carryforward is automatic unless an exception is placed in the
award document. I've a project that was in effect at the time that the reg
was put in place.  Does anyone know if that carryforward reg is
retroactive?  The program officer tells the PI that this is true but is
hesitant to give me anything in writing.  I suspect this person may be
shooting fromteh hip to satisfy a rather persistent PI.  But I've not a
speck of backup and am hesitant to take this one on faith.
