What happened to the proposal to permit State Commissions to pair a low-matching sub-grantee with a high-matching grantee?
The final rule did not include this proposal. Under the final rule, each sub-grantee is individually responsible to the State for meeting its required match level. We will hold State commissions to a State portfolio aggregate overall match, based on the all the programs match requirements in a State portfolio. See the preamble at page 39576 for a more in-depth explanation of this change.
