A: For Option i, lost revenues are calculated for each quarter during the Period of Availability, as a standalone calculation, with 2019 quarters serving as a baseline.

Question 47

Q: How will HRSA use the net unreimbursed expenses attributable to coronavirus in the calculation of expenses or lost revenues?

Question 56

A: The security audit policy settings in Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy and the advanced security audit policy settings in Security Settings\Advanced Audit Policy Configuration\System Audit Policies appear to overlap, but they're recorded and applied differently.

Question 63

Q: What is the interaction between basic audit policy settings and advanced audit policy settings?

A: Basic audit policy settings can be edited in the Local Security Policy snap-in, but they will be overridden by advanced audit policy settings that are applied by using group policy. To edit the advanced audit policy settings, you must use group policy.

Question 64

Q: Why are audit policies applied on a per-computer basis rather than per user?

A: The most consistent way to apply an audit policy is to focus on the computer and the objects and resources on that computer. However, when you want audit settings to apply only to specified groups of users, you can accomplish this customization by configuring SACLs on the relevant objects to enable auditing for a security group that contains only the users you specify.
