达勒姆县担忧联邦拨款新规冲击 上财年6760万美元联邦资金或受影响
11月14日，北卡罗来纳州达勒姆县消息，达勒姆县官员正为联邦拨款规则可能的大改做准备，担忧新规将对县财政与本地非营利组织造成广泛冲击。今年5月，白宫管理与预算办公室牵头约40个联邦机构，提议重写规范地方政府申请、支出、监督与审计联邦拨款的《联邦统一指南》，其中包含120多项实质性修改，最早可能于12月11日定稿。达勒姆县经理克劳迪娅·黑格称，这是自2013年相关条款实施以来最大规模的一次修订。达勒姆县上财年获得联邦资金约6760万美元。县工作人员11月9日向县委员会汇报时表示，各部门正在制定应急预案，并将逐一梳理本部门的拨款清单，联系可能受影响的非营利组织。县官员表示，新规的影响不限于县政府本身，还可能波及达勒姆市、达勒姆公立学校与本地高校。
Durham County Worries New Federal Grant Rules Could Hit $67.6 Million in Federal Funds from Last Fiscal Year
On November 14, news from Durham County, North Carolina, reported that Durham County officials are preparing for a possible major overhaul of federal grant rules, worried that the new rules will have a broad impact on county finances and local nonprofit organizations. In May of this year, the White House Office of Management and Budget led about 40 federal agencies in proposing a rewrite of the Uniform Guidance governing how local governments apply for, spend, oversee, and audit federal grants, including more than 120 substantive changes, which could be finalized as early as December 11. Durham County Manager Claudia Hager called it the largest revision since the relevant provisions took effect in 2013. Durham County received about $67.6 million in federal funds in the last fiscal year. When county staff reported to the county commission on November 9, they said departments are developing contingency plans, reviewing their grant lists one by one, and contacting nonprofits that could be affected. County officials said the impact of the new rules would not be limited to the county government itself but could also affect the City of Durham, Durham Public Schools, and local colleges and universities.
