Abstract: On February 17, 2009, the President signed Public Law 111-5, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Recovery Act”), including a number of provisions to be implemented in Federal Government contracts. This interim rule implements section 1512, which is also known as the “Jobs Accountability Act.” Paragraph (c) of section 1512 requires contractors that receive awards (or modifications to existing awards) funded in whole or in part by the Recovery Act, to report quarterly on the use of the funds.
