The May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 quietly rebuilds the pass-through entity compliance architecture. Proposed §200.332 strengthens subrecipient risk assessment, monitoring documentation, and remediation triggers. A new requirement mandates that every subaward be reported to SAM.gov with the reported records confirmed in performance reports — converting subaward administration from a back-office accounting function into a public-record certification regime.
