OMB Required Information

OMB requests that any ARRA-related program announcements will need to address/include the following: 

1.      CFDA number

This will be included in the grant forms.

2.      Standard, searchable reference to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 ("Recovery Act")

Recovery Act grants will be identified as such in all instances.

3.      Requirement for recipients and their sub-awardees to have a DUNS number (www.dnb.com) <http://www.dnb.com)/>  and a current registration in the Central Contractor Registration (www.ccr.gov <http://www.ccr.gov/> )

This requirement is already covered by existing FAA policy.

4.      Recipients of Recovery Act funds must have systems and internal controls that allow them to separately track and report Recovery Act funds even if the funds are being used to funds an existing project/activity

Existing FAA policy for grants in aid projects includes this requirement already via the Grant Assurances, which are contractual responsibilities for grant recipients. Adequate financial systems and controls are a requirement for grant recipients in order to receive grants. A contract clause will require contractors to separately track and report work and funding associated with Recovery Act projects.

5.      Mention of Recovery Act section 1512 reporting requirements and any other special reporting requirements using language verbatim form the Recovery Act or a reference to the section(s) in the Recovery Act

A contract clause will require reporting outlined in Recovery Act section 1512.
