The EAC Office of Grants Management
(EAC/OGM) is responsible for distributing, monitoring, and

spent, negotiates indirect cost rates with grantees, and resolves
audit findings on the use of HAVA funds. The EAC Office of Grants
Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible for awarding, distributing,
monitoring, and providing technical assistance to states and
grantees on the use of federal funds. EAC/OGM also reports on how
the funds are spent, negotiates indirect cost rates with grantees,
and resolves audit findings on the use of HAVA funds. The EAC-BEW
is to be employed for all grants issued under HAVA authority. The
EAC-BEW will directly benefit award recipients by making it easier
for them to monitor budgets and expenses on their federal grant and
cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the types
of information found in the worksheet- thereby reducing their
administrative effort and costs. The population for the data
collection is the 56 states and territories (EAC grantees)
receiving HAVA grants. The recipients of this funding are finite.
EAC will email grantees notice of where to access the required
forms and guidance on our website for easy location and access. EAC
will also offer technical assistance as requested in completing and
submitting financial reporting.
