(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 Sec. 95.26.
(b) DOL shall prescribe the frequency with which performance reports
shall be submitted. Except as provided in paragraph (f) of this section,
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. DOL 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 DOL 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) DOL may make site visits, as needed.
(h) DOL shall comply with clearance requirements of 5 CFR part 1320
when requesting performance data from recipients.
