Hi Pam,
As I understand it, Fly America Act is still in place. It is not part of the UG but is incorporated in the "public policy" requirements of the grant terms and conditions. I was able to easily find the NIH and NSF references:
4 Public Policy Requirements, Objectives and Other Appropriation Mandates
http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/gc1/policymatrix_dec14.pdf
Hope this helps!

Now that the Uniform Guidance has be come effective with guidelines as to acceptable pricing of a plane ticket, is the Fly American Act still in place for grants? The website hasn't changed and I can't find any information if the UG travel section supersedes Fly American. Thanks. Pam
