1contract, only 2 CFR 200.330 through 200.332 are incorporated

13required by the Single Audit Act, in any circumstances where
14the provisions of federal statutes or regulations differ from
15the provisions of this Act, the provision of the federal
16statutes or regulations govern. This includes, for agreements
17with Indian tribes, the provisions of the Indian

24be inconsistent with the international obligations of the

26government.
