This form is used to report ARRA
expenditures. Section 678(B)(2) of the Community Service Block
Grant (CSBG) Act reqiuires States receiving CSBG grants to make
reports on program activities as required by the Secretary of
Health and Human Services. 45 CFR 96.30 requires States to obligate
and expend federal funds during a specific time period. SF 269A
report form provides the mechanism for States to submit those
reports under the CSBG program.
The American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, establishes funds for the CSBG
Program under PL 111-5. This legislation provides up to $1 billion
to help States, Territories, and Tribes in fiscal years 2009 and
2010 for the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income
communities, and the empowerment of low-income families and
individuals in rural and urban areas to become fully
self-sufficient. Additionally, ARRA recipients are to report the
spending and performance data to the Federal agency. A backup sheet
has been created to identify the various activities that make up
the total Federal share of outlays reported on the 269A Report line
10(a). This attachment to the 269A form ensures that all funds
provided by the Recovery Act are clearly distinguishable in all
agency financial systems, business systems and reporting systems.
This request is being made under 5 CFR 1320.13 based on an
unanticipated event. Approval is being requested by July 31, 2009.
