The Office and Management and Budget has released “ STANDARD DATA ELEMENTS FOR REPORTS UNDER SECTION 1512 OF THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009, PUBLIC LAW 111–5.” The data elements can be obtained by visiting the OMB Grants Management Web page at (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants_standard_report_forms/).
The notice provides elements for both the prime and sub-recipient reporting as required under the act. Comments on the data elements are due before May 1, 2009.
In accordance with the notice “Once the standard data elements are approved, each federal agency must require its recipients of grants, cooperative agreements and loans made under the Recovery Act to report the information and data electronically through a central Government-wide portal or through an agency information collection process. Information on the reporting procedures will be posted to http://www.federalreporting.gov once available. Recipients of Recovery Act funded grants, cooperative agreements and loans may collect the data and information approved under this approved information collection from their sub-recipients and subcontractors.”
This is a great article, and a great topic to explore. Thanks for sharing.
