Draft Reporting Requirements

Initial ARRA Project Plan (Form: FHWA-1586)
This section covers the by-project information to be provided by each State which
accounts for how it plans to invest its allotment of ARRA funding. The list needs to be
consistent with the list of projects provided in the State’s Section 1511 certification, as it
may be amended. States should provide their best estimates of complete list of projects
to be funded with ARRA grants as of the plan’s due date. If a State has not
programmed all ARRA funds by that time, that information should be provided as well.
The project list should be provided in an electronic format that allows for data sorting.
For the purpose of this initial project plan report, the State may provide the Section 1511
list of projects if that list of projects provides all data are listed below. Simply
referencing the STIP will likely not be sufficient, since most do not contain all of the
required data. These data will be used for meeting the reporting requirements of
Sections 1201, and 1512. The data are also used to link together State DOT and
FHWA provided ARRA project data.
Format:

The file can be provided as either a geospatial information system (GIS)
shapefile, or an MS Excel spreadsheet.
Due date: By March 31, 2009. The State shall provide an additional list of projects
within 2 weeks of the State issuing a new Section 1511 certification until
September 2012.
Due to:
The States will e-mail their list of projects to: [email protected], with
a copy sent to the FHWA Division Office official mailbox
([email protected]). Questions should be directed to
[email protected]. Submittal of data to this e-mail account will not
qualify as the required submittal under section 1511.
