Title 45


Several Parts under Title 45 contain the Department-wide regulations that apply to DHHS programs. Most important among these in terms of the day-to-day operation of the programs under discussion are Part 74, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Awards and Subawards to Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, Other Non-Profit Organizations, and Commercial Organizations and Part 92, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperation Agreements to State and Local Governments including Indian Tribal Governments.

Part 74 and Part 92 contain the procedures governing the administration of awards issued by DHHS. The Subparts cover topics such as cash management, financial reports, allowable and unallowable costs, and property management and procurement. Part 92 applies to tribal governments.

Regulations related to the operation of a Tribal Child Care (CCDF) program are found at 45 CFR Part 98, Subpart I. Subpart I specifies the extent to which general regulatory requirements apply to Tribes. In accordance with Section 98.80(a), Tribes shall be subject to all regulatory requirements in Parts 98 and 99, unless otherwise indicated. Subpart I lists general regulatory requirements that apply to Tribes. It also identifies requirements that do not apply to Tribes. Financial Management issues that apply to Tribes are addressed in Subpart G - Financial Management, and Data Reporting issues that apply to Tribes are addressed in Subpart H - Program Reporting Requirements.

Regulations related to Tribal TANF are found at 45 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter II (Office of Family Assistance), Part 286. Part 286 is divided into five subparts:

Subpart A - General Tribal TANF Provisions;
Subpart B - Tribal TANF Funding;
Subpart C - Tribal TANF Plan Content and Processing;
Subpart D - Accountability and Penalties; and
Subpart E - Data Collection and Reporting Requirements.

*CCDF: Follows Parts 98 and 99

*As noted in Part 98.84(d), Tribes that have ACF approval to use CCDF funds for construction are required to comply with certain requirements set forth in Part 92.
