On June 14, 2023, NRECA sent a letter to NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson urging the agency to follow recent guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury regarding 2 CFR 200 requirements. As implementation of the BEAD and Middle Mile Grant programs approaches, NTIA has yet to issue its guidance on application of the uniform administrative requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 for programs under its purview. When it does, NRECA asks that guidance on application of 2 CFR 200 granted by Treasury is similarly adopted for all NTIA programs. Adoption by NTIA of similar supplementary broadband guidance would 1) provide needed clarity and flexibility and 2) result in consistencies across broadband programs and efficiencies in implementation, reducing the burden of applying for and participating in these programs.
