AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 1998 Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement.

SUMMARY: On June 30, 1997 (62 FR 35278), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the final notice of revision to Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations." The notice also offered interested parties an opportunity to comment on Appendix B to Circular A-133 which was entitled "Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement (provisional)." OMB received comments from eight different respondents. In general, commenters were very satisfied with the approach and clarity of the document. The 1998 Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement (1998 Supplement) has been updated to add 47 additional programs, update for program changes, make technical corrections, and make changes reflected in the public comment letters. A list of changes to the 1998 Supplement can be found at Appendix 5 of the supplement. Due to its length, the 1998 Supplement is not included in this Notice. See Addresses for information about how to obtain a copy. OMB intends to annually review, revise and/or update this supplement.
