Title 31 — Money and Finance — § 6307. Interpretative guidelines and exemptions
Summary
Section 6307 of Title 31 lets the Director of the Office of Management and Budget issue supplementary interpretative guidelines to promote consistent and efficient use of procurement contracts, grant agreements and cooperative agreements, and exempt a transaction or program of an executive agency from the chapter. The same Code page also prints section 6306, under which an agency head may vest title in tangible personal property bought for research in a nonprofit college or research organization. Section 6308 allows more than one relationship on jointly financed projects, and section 6309, added by the MAPS Act of 2021, which stops changes to core-based statistical area delineations from carrying over automatically to non-statistical program uses.
