The political pre-issuance review at §200.205 is dominating headlines, but the May 29 OMB rewrite quietly inverts the allowability standard for four entire cost categories that nonprofits, universities, and state agencies have historically charged routinely. Advertising and public relations move from allowable-with-conditions to presumptively unallowable. Conferences require express agency approval rather than the current reasonableness test. Lobbying restrictions are tightened with new printing, subscription, and travel sub-limits. By the October 1 effective date, every recipient's indirect cost pool composition and budget narrative template will need to be rewritten — and the institutions that ignore this category of change in favor of the louder political-review fight will find their fall award packages rejected on cost-narrative grounds.
