In regard to the conflicting audit threshold requirements set forth in the PROGRESS Act and Single Audit Act, a) defer consideration of the proposal to resolve the conflicting audit threshold requirements by technical amendment while the Department obtains a Solicitor’s opinion regarding how to deal with these conflicting provisions; b) the Department confer with Indian Health Services regarding these conflicting audit threshold provisions; and c) that the Committee continue to separately move forward with its request to extend the deadline for exercising authority to promulgate regulations implementing the PROGRESS Act.
