(a)for that recommendation and any substantially similar recommendation after providing the Inspector General for that agency with a written explanation of the determination of the head of the agency. For each audit of a research institution conducted by an Inspector General, the Inspector General shall include in each public report, including the semiannual report required under section 5 of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.), only such disallowed costs found in the audit which are sustained by the head of the agency.
