OMB Grants Policy – Performance Reporting Requirements



OMB Circular A-110, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations


2 CFR 215 (OMB CIRCULAR A-110)

215.51 Monitoring and reporting program performance.


(a) Recipients are responsible for managing and monitoring each project, program, subaward, function or activity supported by the award. Recipients shall monitor subawards to ensure subrecipients have met the audit requirements as delineated in Section 215.26.


(b) The Federal awarding agency shall prescribe the frequency with which the performance reports shall be submitted. Except as provided in paragraph 215.51(f), performance reports shall not be required more frequently than quarterly or, less frequently than annually. Annual reports shall be due 90 calendar days after the grant year; quarterly or semi-annual reports shall be due 30 days after the reporting period. The Federal awarding agency may require annual reports before the anniversary dates of multiple year awards in lieu of these requirements. The final performance reports are due 90 calendar days after the expiration or termination of the award.


(c) If inappropriate, a final technical or performance report shall not be required after completion of the project.


(d) When required, performance reports shall generally contain, for each award, brief information on each of the following.


(1) A comparison of actual accomplishments with the goals and objectives established for the period, the findings of the investigator, or both. Whenever appropriate and the output of programs or projects can be readily quantified, such quantitative data should be related to cost data for computation of unit costs.


(2) Reasons why established goals were not met, if appropriate.


(3) Other pertinent information including, when appropriate, analysis and explanation of cost overruns or high unit costs.


(e) Recipients shall not be required to submit more than the original and two copies of performance reports.


(f) Recipients shall immediately notify the Federal awarding agency of developments that have a significant impact on the award-supported activities. Also, notification shall be given in the case of problems, delays, or adverse conditions which materially impair the ability to meet the objectives of the award. This notification shall include a statement of the action taken or contemplated, and any assistance needed to resolve the situation.


(g) Federal awarding agencies may make site visits, as needed.


(h) Federal awarding agencies shall comply with clearance requirements of 5 CFR part 1320 when requesting performance data from recipients.




OMB Circular A-102, Grants and Cooperative Agreements with State and Local Governments


(Common Rule (see table of agency codifications at end of document)

§___.40 Monitoring and reporting program performance.


(a) Monitoring by grantees. Grantees are responsible for managing the day‑to‑day operations of grant and subgrant supported activities. Grantees must monitor grant and subgrant supported activities to assure compliance with applicable Federal requirements and that performance goals are being achieved. Grantee monitoring must cover each program, function or activity.


(b) Nonconstruction performance reports. The Federal agency may, if it decides that performance information available from subsequent applications contains sufficient information to meet its programmatic needs, require the grantee to submit a performance report only upon expiration or termination of grant support. Unless waived by the Federal agency this report will be due on the same date as the final Financial Status Report.


(1) Grantees shall submit annual performance reports unless the awarding agency requires quarterly or semi‑annual reports. However, performance reports will not be required more frequently than quarterly. Annual reports shall be due 90 days after the grant year, quarterly or semi‑annual reports shall be due 30 days after the reporting period. The final performance report will be due 90 days after the expiration or termination of grant support. If a justified request is submitted by a grantee, the Federal agency may extend the due date for any performance report. Additionally, requirements for unnecessary performance reports may be waived by the Federal agency.


(2) Performance reports will contain, for each grant, brief information on the following:


(i) A comparison of actual accomplishments to the objectives established for the period. Where the output of the project can be quantified, a computation of the cost per unit of output may be required if that information will be useful.


(ii) The reasons for slippage if established objectives were not met.


(iii) Additional pertinent information including, when appropriate, analysis and explanation of cost overruns or high unit costs.


(3) Grantees will not be required to submit more than the original and two copies of performance reports.


(4) Grantees will adhere to the standards in this section in prescribing performance reporting requirements for subgrantees.


(c) Construction performance reports. For the most part, on‑site technical inspections and certified percentage‑of‑completion data are relied on heavily by Federal agencies to monitor progress under construction grants and subgrants. The Federal agency will require additional formal performance reports only when considered necessary, and never more frequently than quarterly.


(d) Significant developments. Events may occur between the scheduled performance reporting dates which have significant impact upon the grant or subgrant supported activity. In such cases, the grantee must inform the Federal agency as soon as the following types of conditions become known:


(1) Problems, delays, or adverse conditions which will materially impair the ability to meet the objective of the award. This disclosure must include a statement of the action taken, or contemplated, and any assistance needed to resolve the situation.


(2) Favorable developments which enable meeting time schedules and objectives sooner or at less cost than anticipated or producing more beneficial results than originally planned.


(e) Federal agencies may make site visits as warranted by program needs.


(f) Waivers, extensions. (1) Federal agencies may waive any performance report required by this part if not needed.


(2) The grantee may waive any performance report from a subgrantee when not needed. The grantee may extend the due date for any performance report from a subgrantee if the grantee will still be able to meet its performance reporting obligations to the Federal agency.

  1. Additional agencies are expected to codify OMB Circular A-110 (2 CFR 215); in the meantime, the Circular's requirements apply to them and their awards.
     

  2. Executive Order 12549 provided that agencies, including those which have not yet codified the common rule, are covered by OMB's governmentwide guidelines which are identical to the common rule (see OMB's memorandum to the agencies at 60 FR 33036 and OMB's notice at 53 FR 34474). For additional information about implementation of the Drug-Free Workplace Act, see OMB's notices at 54 FR 4946 and 55 FR 21679.
     

  3. The law only required major agencies, as identified by OMB, to codify the common rule; all other agencies are covered by OMB's governmentwide guidance (54 FR 52305 (28 pages, 1,673 kb)) which is identical to the common rule (also see OMB's clarification notices at 55 FR 24540 (3 pages, 337 kb) and 57 FR 1772 (2 pages, 260 kb)). Because of a new law on lobbying, OMB issued amendments to its governmentwide guidance, effective 1/1/96 (61 FR 1412 (2 pages, 34 kb)).
