Each Federal agency shall promulgate such amendments to its regulations as may be necessary to conform such regulations to the requirements of this chapter and of such guidance.
(1)The guidance prescribed pursuant to subsection

(A)the cost of any audit which is—
(i)not conducted in accordance with this chapter; or
(ii)conducted in accordance with this chapter when expenditures of Federal awards are less than amounts cited in section 7502(a)(1)(A) or specified by the Director under section 7502(a)(3), except that the Director may allow the cost of limited scope audits to monitor subrecipients in accordance with section 7502(f)(2)(B); and
(B)more than a reasonably proportionate share of the cost of any such audit that is conducted in accordance with this chapter.
(2)The criteria prescribed pursuant to paragraph
