<p class="MsoNormal">Attached is the COGR Guide to the Uniform Guidance. The Introduction on page 1 provides an orientation to the COGR Guide.<br>
<br>
We encourage you to pay attention to the COGR assessments and next steps in RED TEXT as we believe there are a number of issues that still need to be addressed and/or clarified. COGR is engaging actively with federal officials on a number of topics and advocating
for those interpretations that are the most intuitive, sensible, and reasonable.<br>
<br>
The COGR Guide is organized by section as presented in the Uniform Guidance. However, going forward COGR will share with the membership its perspective on the priority items. A Thursday morning session at the June COGR Meeting will be focused on priority
items, as will future COGR publications.<br>
<br>
If you have comments or questions, please feel free to contact COGR staff. <br>
