Recipient Reporting
Data Model
V4.0

-

FINAL PRODUCTION RELEASE
for Quarter Ending September 30, 2010

Note: this model may be adjusted for future reporting cycles

Note to users of this data model
This data model is intended to be used in conjunction with the Section 1512 of American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act. Recipient reporting is being executed through the web based
FederalReporting.Gov recipient reporting solution. The Web based form, MS Excel template and
XML schema options for report submission will be found on that site and will conform to this
model. Clarifications to the elements will be published as a set of Frequently Asked Questions to
FederalReporting.Gov.

It is important to note that this model is intended for use for the quarter ending September 30, 2010.
This model and the report submission templates may not be wholly applicable to future reporting
cycles. Recipients should reference formal guidance and updates for future reporting requirements.
