The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council has issued a final rule to update its regulations on administrative and financial requirements for federal awards. This update aligns its rules with recent changes made by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding grants and agreements. The changes, which are aimed at reducing the administrative burden and risk of waste or fraud, will take effect on February 8, 2021. The rule does not require data collection and is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council made some new rules so that their money-giving process matches with the latest rules from the "parent" rule-makers. These changes help keep things fair and safe, but they didn't explain all the little details about how they'll do it.
