From the Document: "On June 18, 2020, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Memorandum M-20-26, 'Extension of Administrative Relief for Recipients and Applicants of Federal Financial Assistance Directly Impacted by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) due to Loss of Operations.' This was the fourth OMB-issued memorandum specifically providing COVID-19 related class exceptions under the authority of 2 C.F.R. § 200.102(a), 'Exceptions', allowing Federal awarding agencies to grant various administrative, financial, and audit requirement flexibilities to their recipients. The flexibilities offered by the first three memoranda were meant to provide short-term relief of certain requirements of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, 'Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards', without compromising Federal financial assistance accountability requirements."
