[The Adobe� Acrobat� Reader™ for PDF files is a free download.] Action Transmittals are used by the Office of Grants to organize and disseminate information to both the operating divisions within HHS as well as the general public. This vehicle is used, where appropriate, to circulate grants administration, cost reimbursement and contract procedures, policy interpretations, and general information. Action Transmittals by their very nature are not subject to the formal notice and comment requirements of rulemaking under the Administrative Procedures Act because they transmit interpretive rules or general statements of policy. These Transmittals are named by federal fiscal year and a sequential number (e.g., Action Transmittal 2000-1, 98-1, 98-2, etc.).
