OMB Imported The FAR's Termination-For-Convenience Doctrine Into Federal Grants And Eliminated The Appeal Rights That Came With It. The §200.340 Rewrite Means Multiyear Awards Now Carry Government-Contract Cancellation Risk Without Government-Contract Settlement Protections

Buried in the §200.340 termination provisions of the May 29 Uniform Grants Regulation rewrite is a fundamental restructuring of federal grant termination law. The new rule explicitly models grant termination on the Federal Acquisition Regulation's termination-for-convenience framework — agencies may terminate when termination is in the agency's interest, when an award no longer advances agency priorities, or when the national interest as it exists at the time of termination has shifted. Unlike federal contracts, the rule eliminates the objection, hearing, and appeal rights that have historically attached to termination decisions, and unlike federal contracts, it does not import the FAR's termination settlement framework. Multiyear grant recipients now bear contract-level cancellation risk without contract-level settlement protection.
