Abstract: The EAC Office of Grants Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible for distributing, monitoring, and providing technical assistance to states and grantees on the use of federal HAVA 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-PR has been developed for both interim and final progress reports for grants issued under HAVA authority. This revised format builds upon our current approved report for the separate grant awards given by EAC. This revision includes the request of data for expenses related to HAVA awards. The revised PR will directly benefit award recipients by making it easier for them to administer federal grant and cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the types of information required in progress reports- thereby reducing their administrative effort and costs. In addition, this PR will derive necessary data for reporting to Congress on HAVA activities. 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 post the guidance on our website for easy location and access on our website. EAC will also offer technical assistance as requested in completing and submitting progress reporting.
