Tribal Opt-Out
• The single audit reporting packages will become publicly available on the FAC web site.
• Indian tribes and tribal organizations may opt not to authorize the FAC to make the reporting package publicly available.

Questions about the Opt-Out
• Do we still have to submit our single audit to the FAC?
• Do we still have to submit our Data Collection Form?
• If we choose to opt-out, do we have to submit our single audit to a pass-through entity?
• Our tribal school, housing authority, and clinic each obtain a separate single audit. Can they all elect to opt-out?
