(c) Recipients subject to this part are also subject to 34 CFR Parts 75, 76, 77, 78, and 79, to the extent applicable.

(Authority: 20 U.S.C. 3474; OMB Circular A-110)

§ 74.2 Scope of subpart.

This subpart contains general rules pertaining to this Part 74 (definitions, purpose and scope, applicability, and appeals) and procedures for control of deviations from the part.

(Authority: 20 U.S.C. 3474; OMB Circular A-110)

§ 74.3 Definitions.

As used in this part:

“Awarding party” means (1) with respect to a grant, ED, and (2) with respect to a subgrant, the grantee. (See § 74.4(b))

"Contract" means (except as used in the definitions for "grant" in this section and except where qualified by "Federal") a procurement contract under a grant and "subcontract" means a procurement subcontract under such a contract.

"Cost-type contract" means a contract or subcontract in which the contractor or subcontractor is paid on the basis of the costs it incurs, but the term does not include such subcontracts under a non-cost-type contract or subcontract.

"ED" means the U.S. Department of Education.

"Expenditure report" means:

(1) For nonconstruction grants, the "Financial Status Report" (or other equivalent report);

(2) For construction grants, the "Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs" (or other equivalent report). (See Subpart I of this part.)

"Grant" means an award of financial assistance in the form of money, or property in lieu of money, by the Federal Government to an eligible recipient. The term does not include any Federal procurements subject to the procurement regulations in 48 CFR, nor does it include technical assistance, which provides services instead of money, or other assistance in the form of revenue sharing, loans, loan

guarantees, interest subsidies, insurance, or direct appropriations. Also, the term does not include assistance, such as a fellowship or other lump sum award, which the recipient is not required to account for on an actual cost basis.

"Grantee" means the nonprofit corporation or other legal entity to which a grant is awarded and which is accountable to the Federal Government for the use of the funds provided. The grantee is the entire legal entity even if only a particular component of the entity is designated in the award document. For example, a grant award document may name as the grantee one school or campus of a university. In this case, the granting agency usually intends, or actually requires, that the named component assume primary or sole responsibility for administering the grant-assisted project or program. Nevertheless, the naming of a component of a legal entity as the grantee in a grant award document shall not be construed as relieving the whole legal entity from accountability to the Federal Government for the use of the funds provided. (This definition is not intended to affect the eligibility provision of grant programs in which eligibility is limited to organizations, such as State educational agencies, which may be only components of a legal entity.) The term "grantee" does not include any secondary recipients such as subgrantees, contractors, etc., who may receive funds from a grantee pursuant to a grant.

"OMB" means the Office of Management and Budget within the Executive Office of the President.

"Recipient" means grantee or subgrantee.

"Terms of a grant or subgrant" means all requirements of the grant or subgrant, whether in statute, regulations, the award document or elsewhere.

(Authority: 20 U.S.C. 3474; OMB Circular A-110)
