As a result of a five year rule review and to provide the most current funding practices, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is making changes to the following Administrative Code rules:

• 5101:9-4-01 "Acquisition standards definitions" is being rescinded. The information contained in this rule can be found in the revised Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 2 C.F.R. 200 and other sections of the Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual.
• 5101:9-4-02 "Standards for acquisition" is being amended. The rule incorporates the revised Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 2 C.F.R. 200, issued December 26, 2013, as well as 45 C.F.R. 75, issued December 19, 2014. This final guidance supersedes and streamlines requirements from OMB Circular A-87 and 2 C.F.R. 225.
