    The 2020 Supplement is available on the OMB home page at
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/offices/offm

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:     The 2020 Supplement (2 CFR part 200, subpart
    F, appendix XI) adds 3 new programs, deletes 6 expired programs and provides updates on
    many other programs, where necessary. Consistent with the President's Management
    Agenda, Cross Agency Priority (CAP) goal number 8, "Results-Oriented Accountability
    for Grants," Federal awarding agencies are encouraged to begin a paradigm shift in grants
    management from one heavy on compliance to a balanced approach that includes
    establishing measurable program and project goals and analyzing data to improve results.
    To that end, the 2020 Compliance Supplement continues the reduction of the compliance
    areas for auditor review in part 2, Matrix from a maximum of twelve to six, which was first
    implemented in the 2019 Supplement, and requires a review for performance reporting for
    29 programs under part 4. OMB will work with Federal awarding agencies in future
    Supplements that will further emphasize the review on performance. This year's
    Supplement also includes guidance related to Coronavirus administrative relief included in
    the four OMB memoranda in appendix VII of the Supplement. OMB plans to work with
    Federal awarding agencies to identify the new COVID-19 programs with special
    compliance and reporting requirements that will be included as an Addendum to this
    Supplement, as appropriate. OMB intends to balance the review of both compliance and
    performance goals for these new COVID-19 programs.
