ACTION: Notice; request for public comments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is a request for comments, intended to help the
Federal agencies satisfy the provisions of Public Law 106-107, the
Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999
(henceforth ``the Act''), which requires each agency to develop and
implement a plan that streamlines and simplifies the application,
administrative, and reporting procedures for Federal financial
assistance programs. The Act also requires the agencies to consult with
representatives of non-Federal entities during the development and
implementation of their plans.
This notice and interim/draft plan of action reflect the joint
effort of the Federal grant-making agencies listed in Section X, below,
to meet the requirements of the Act. The plan is being published for
public comment in the Federal Register and on the Internet at the U.S.
Chief Financial Officers Council's Grants Management Committee home
page (http://www.financenet.gov/fed/cfo/grants/grants.htm), pursuant to
Section 5 of the Act. One intent of the agencies is to use the
information gathered through this notice to identify additional areas
of the grant life cycle which lend themselves to common practices and
implementation.
The Federal departments and agencies will refine this plan as the
interagency, consultative effort identifies additional specific Federal
Government actions needed to achieve the purposes of the Act. The
initial plan will be submitted in May, 2001. As this plan evolves into
more specific actions, the Federal agencies, after consultations with
affected constituencies, will submit updated information to Congress in
the annual implementation reports required by the Act.
Desired Focus of Comments
The participating agencies request your comments on the Federal
grantmaking process and the objectives outlined in this plan,
particularly on the following questions. To the maximum extent
possible, please provide specific information in your responses. For
example, the name of the Federal program or the number of a particular
form. This information will assist the agencies in their efforts to
reform these programs.
I. Application and Reporting Forms
A. Please identify application and reporting forms you believe
could be improved or streamlined.
B. Please identify specific data elements on these forms that you
believe could be eliminated or combined to reduce reporting burden
while still providing the Federal agency enough information to manage
the program.
C. What programs do you think could share common application and
reporting forms that currently do not? Do not limit your response to
programs within the same agency. For example, if there are programs
administered by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of
Health and Human Services that you believe should share common forms
because they share a similar purpose, please identify them.
D. How do you obtain copies of the forms you need for your grant?
Are they readily available over the Internet, or are they provided in
materials you received from your awarding agency, such as a funding
notice or handbook? What forms have been difficult to locate in updated
formats?
II. Terms and Conditions
A. What terms and conditions are attached to your grants that you
believe are not treated consistently from program to program, and
across the various Federal agencies?
B. How would you suggest the agencies create more uniformity in
these terms and conditions?
III. Payment Systems
A. What payment systems are you currently required to use to
receive grant payments?
B. Which of these systems offer on-line services?
C. Does the use of multiple payment systems by Federal agencies
cause a burden on your financial system?
[[Page 4585]]
IV. Audit Issues
A. What could the Federal agencies do to improve your understanding
of the Single Audit process?
B. Have you used the Single Audit Clearinghouse to obtain
information on subrecipient audits?
C. Do you believe that single audits provide appropriate audit
coverage for your programs and the programs where you are a pass-
through entity?
V. Electronic Processing
A. What electronic processing systems do you currently use for your
Federal grants? Please note any systems you use due to Federal agency
requirements, as well as any systems or technologies your organization
uses for other activities.
B. What is the likelihood that your organization would utilize an
on-line application or financial reporting system?
C. How can the agencies best prepare your organization for the
future use of electronic processing option for your grants?
DATES: Comments in response to this notice must be received on or
before March 19, 2001. Each Federal agency will submit an
implementation plan to OMB and Congress before May 20, 2001 and report
annually thereafter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Purpose
This interim/draft plan of action is being presented for public
comment. It was developed jointly by the Federal grant-making agencies
listed in Section X, below, to meet the requirements of the Financial
Assistance Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-107, henceforth
``the Act''). It sets out broad goals and objectives; describes an
ongoing, coordinated interagency effort to implement the Act in
consultation with non-Federal entities; and details accomplishments in
some areas. The Federal agencies will refine this plan as the
interagency, consultative effort identifies additional specific Federal
Government actions needed to achieve the purposes of the Act. As this
plan evolves into more specific actions, the Federal agencies, after
consultations with affected constituencies, will submit updated
information to Congress in the annual implementation reports required
by the Act. This plan and the comments received will help the agencies
to meet the requirements of the Act.
II. Background
Federal programs providing financial assistance comprise a large
and diverse enterprise with widely varying purposes and recipient
communities. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance lists hundreds
of programs in more than 25 Federal grant-making agencies with
approximately $300 billion in annual expenditures. The programs
stimulate or support a wide variety of public purposes in areas such as
health, social services, law enforcement, agriculture, housing,
community and regional development, education and training, and
research.
III. Statutory Requirement
In enacting Public Law 106-107, Congress expressed concern that
some requirements related to the award and administration of Federal
financial assistance may be duplicative, burdensome, or conflicting,
thus impeding the cost-effective delivery of services. Congress further
found that State, local, and tribal governments and private, nonprofit
organizations must deal with increasingly complex problems that require
the delivery and coordination of many kinds of services and result in
complex grant administration. To address these concerns, the Act
requires each Federal agency to develop and implement a plan, with the
direction, coordination and assistance of the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), in consultation with representatives of
non-Federal entities, that:
Streamlines and simplifies the application,
administrative, and reporting procedures for Federal financial
assistance programs administered by the agency;
Demonstrates active participation in an interagency
process to:
--Streamline and simplify administrative procedures and reporting
requirements for non-Federal entities receiving Federal financial
assistance;
--Improve interagency and intergovernmental coordination of
information collection and sharing of data pertaining to Federal
programs providing financial assistance; and
--Improve the timeliness, completeness, and quality of information
received by Federal agencies from financial assistance recipients;
Demonstrates appropriate agency use, or plans for use, of
a common application and reporting system that includes:
--A common application or set of common applications, whereby a
non-Federal entity can apply for Federal financial assistance from
multiple Federal programs that serve similar purposes and are
administered by different Federal agencies;
--A common system, including electronic processes, whereby a non-
Federal entity can apply for, manage, and report on the use of
financial assistance funding from multiple Federal programs that serve
similar purposes and are administered by different Federal agencies;
and
--Uniform administrative rules for Federal financial assistance
programs across different Federal agencies;
Designates a lead agency official for carrying out the
responsibilities of the agency under the Act;
Allows applicants the option to electronically apply for,
and report on the use of, funds from programs of the agency that
provides financial assistance;
Ensures that recipients of financial assistance provide
timely, complete, and high quality information in response to Federal
reporting requirements; and
Establishes, in cooperation with recipients of financial
assistance, specific annual goals and objectives to further the
purposes of the Act and measure annual performance as part of
[[Page 4586]]
the agency's planning responsibilities under the Government Performance
and Results Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-62).
IV. Goal
An appropriate interagency structure for accomplishing all aspects
of this Act has been established, and the Federal agencies have agreed
on a common goal: To maximize the effectiveness with which Federal
financial assistance programs support the accomplishment of their
purposes, consistent with good stewardship of public funds and
accountability.
Several agencies have already undertaken efforts to identify common
grant process flows and to streamline business practices. These
agencies are continuing to work to identify and establish performance
measures to effectively manage and track grantee use of funds. They
have also been developing electronic systems for the entire grants life
cycle which will support these efforts.
While there have been many studies, reports, and attempts at
Federal financial assistance simplification in the past, a
comprehensive, Government-wide review of this magnitude has not been
undertaken since a standardization effort entitled, ``Federal
Assistance Review'' was undertaken in 1969. That review, which took
three years to complete, significantly reduced burdens on recipients
and improved the uniformity among Federal agencies' assistance awards
to governmental organizations. For example, it led to the issuance of
OMB Circulars A-87 and A-102, which contain cost principles and uniform
administrative requirements for awards to governmental organizations.
It also resulted in a standard application: The Standard Form 424.
Similarly, the new interagency effort described in the next section
of this plan is a multi-year effort. As it progresses, the Federal
agencies will identify more specific goals, objectives and solutions,
as the Act requires. Therefore, this plan is necessarily an interim/
draft plan. It will evolve as the Federal agencies, in conjunction with
their non-Federal partners, continue to identify problems to be
addressed, devise ways to solve them, and specify the expected
outcomes.
V. Process
A. Interagency Approach
Central to the development of the plan and its implementation is
the active participation in an interagency process, with direction,
coordination and assistance from OMB, in consultation with
representatives of non-Federal entities. The Director of OMB charged
the Grants Management Committee (``the Committee'') of the Chief
Financial Officers (CFO) Council to perform most of the work required
in coordinating the interagency, consultative effort to meet the
objectives of the Act. The Committee is chaired by the Deputy Chief
Financial Officer of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
which is assisting OMB as the lead agency for implementation of the
Act. All Federal grant-making agencies are participating through the
Committee, and therefore, are developing this coordinated and
consistent implementation plan with respect to the requirements of the
Act. The Committee established four streamlining and simplification
work groups to conduct the effort, chaired by representatives of
various agencies. It also created a General Policy and Oversight Team
to examine crosscutting issues and to oversee the progress of the work
groups. Serving as co-chair of this oversight team along with HHS, OMB
directs, coordinates and assists the process, and addresses individual
agency and other related problems. The four streamlining and
simplification work groups are the Pre-Award, Post-Award, Audit
Oversight, and Electronic Processing work groups.
B. Public Consultations
One cornerstone of the interagency effort is consultation with
representatives of non-Federal entities that apply for and receive
Federal financial assistance. The consultation process began soon after
enactment of Public Law 106-107, when several individual agencies
posted information about the Act on their home pages. The agencies
asked for comments and suggestions about the Federal processes for
providing financial assistance. As they received input, they shared it
with officials in other Federal agencies.
The Grants Management Committee reinforced and expanded those early
efforts in two ways. First, it created a central Web site for
information about the interagency process in general and the four work
groups more specifically. The Web site allows the public to
electronically submit comments and suggestions directly to the work
group members who need it, which gets the input to them more rapidly
and efficiently. Secondly, through its General Policy and Oversight
Team and with assistance of the work group chairs, the committee
conducted five public consultation meetings with the major recipient
constituencies-States, local governments, tribal governments,
universities and nonprofit organizations that conduct research, and
other nonprofit organizations.
The consultation meetings provided the work groups with a variety
of insights on issues that need to be addressed in the Act's
implementation. These included specific examples, by agency and by
program, of areas requiring attention and, in some cases, concrete
suggestions for improvement. The public comments at the consultation
meetings raised several significant issues of a crosscutting nature,
such as those related to Native American tribal entities and to rural
access and infrastructure (described in Section VI. A. of this plan).
They also raised issues related to the different phases of the
financial assistance process--pre-award, post-award, and audit--as well
as with the technology that will support the process.
Non-Federal organizations, in general, are concerned with the
announcement of funding opportunities, including the availability of
information, its clarity (e.g., clear statements of eligibility), and
the time allowed for application preparation and submission. They also
indicated a need for greater commonality in award requirements across
agencies, including more consistent reporting requirements in terms of
both content and timing. While there is widespread support in the non-
Federal constituencies for making the process less paper intensive and
using the electronic option, the participants in some of these sessions
reminded the Federal agencies of the real limitations (e.g., personnel,
equipment, and access) they face and the need to ensure that training
and technical assistance are available.
Further information about these consultation meetings, including
summaries of public comments, is available on the Committee's home page
(http://www.financenet.gov/fed/cfo/grants/grants.htm). The work groups
and individual Federal agencies will continue to consult with
recipients throughout the interagency streamlining and simplification
effort.
C. Prior and Ongoing Efforts
A second cornerstone of the interagency process is to build on what
has already been done or is already underway. There were numerous
streamlining and simplification initiatives underway before the
enactment of Public Law 106-107, although not of the magnitude called
for by the Act. Some affected a particular set of activities, such as
research, or a particular agency's programs. An example is the Federal
Demonstration
[[Page 4587]]
Partnership (FDP), an organization comprising 11 Federal awarding
offices and 65 universities and nonprofit organizations, which already
has made and is continuing to make more uniform these 11 Federal
offices' applications, terms and conditions, and reporting
requirements.
The Committee's work groups will build upon the results of groups
like the FDP and prior or ongoing streamlining efforts of individual
agencies and non-Federal entities. The work groups will use successful
initiatives as models that may be expanded if they have broader
applicability to more Federal agencies, to more Federal programs for
other purposes, and to more of the many recipients of Federal grants
and cooperative agreements.
In addition, the Committee has integrated several on-going
Government-wide initiatives into its four new work groups, to increase
the initiatives' priority and accelerate them. These include:
The Interagency Committee on Debarment and Suspension
which, with OMB's support, has been working to simplify and update the
Government-wide common rule on debarment and suspension. The work of
this committee has been integrated into the Pre-Award Work Group.
The Committee's prior subcommittees that began the
streamlining initiatives related to grantees' payments. One effort led
to a policy decision, now being implemented, to consolidate numerous
civilian agency payment systems into two systems (The Department of
Defense will use the Defense Procurement Payment System). The efforts
of the Committee's prior work have been incorporated into the Post-
Award Work Group.
The Interagency Electronic Grants Committee (IAEGC) that
has established a standard transaction set for electronic submission of
applications for grants and cooperative agreements, and is working
toward a Government-wide system for applicant and recipient electronic
business interactions with Federal awarding agencies. The IAEGC co-
chairs are leading the Electronic Processing Work Group and electronic
interagency grant coordination activities.
The Single Audit Compliance Supplement Core group has been
responsible for producing the annual update to the Compliance
Supplement required by OMB Circular A-133. The group provides the
information needed by auditors to guide them to the major compliance
areas they should review in their single audit of Federal programs. The
group ensures that compliance requirements are valid and up-to-date.
VI. Specific Projects
At the outset of the interagency, consultative process, the
Committee identified specific projects for the General Policy and
Oversight Team and the four work groups. As the effort progresses, the
list of specific projects may be modified. The following paragraphs
describe the projects being undertaken by each work group.
For most tasks, a goal is to have more uniform approaches across
the many Federal agencies, at least when their programs have similar
purposes. This involves three phases. The first phase is to establish
what Federal agencies are doing today, as a baseline from which any
improvements would be made. Data is being compiled from a number of
sources, to help establish the scope of the undertakings and identify
representative samples of Federal programs for detailed analysis. Input
from applicants and recipients is being reviewed regarding the problems
that they see with the way things are today.
The second phase of the effort is a critical assessment to
determine which requirements and problems are candidates for
elimination, streamlining or improvement. The groups must question the
rationale for current requirements, particularly requirements that are
not uniform across Federal agency programs with similar purposes and
recipients.
The third and final phase is to assist OMB develop recommendations
for the Committee and Congress.
A. General Policy and Oversight Team
The General Policy and Oversight Team is overseeing the progress of
the work groups, and examining crosscutting issues and entitlement
grant regulatory coverage. It is providing direction and assistance,
and is coordinating interagency work groups' activities in their
endeavors to improve the delivery of services to the public. A proposed
budget has been developed based on an examination of resources
available through the CFO Council to implement the Act.
One objective is to ensure that recipients provide timely,
complete, and high quality information in response to Federal reporting
requirements. Other objectives include streamlining and simplifying
administrative requirements and procedures for Federal financial
assistance programs; and improving the effectiveness and performance of
programs by facilitating greater coordination among Federal agencies
responsible for delivering services to the public, e.g., to bring more
coordination to the administrative process, particularly for similar
programs.
In addition, this team will review and prioritize three areas of
concern that arose during public consultation meetings with recipient
communities. The team will consider these issues as tasks for possible
expansion and/or assignment to one or more of the four work groups:
(1) Native American Tribal Entities
The objective of this task will be to study and address several
issues unique to Native American tribal entities, such as developments
under the Indian Self-Determination Act.
(2) Rural Access and Infrastructure
The objective of this task will be to examine problems related to
access or infrastructure, as these problems affect the ability to
participate in Federal financial assistance programs. For example,
public comments highlighted that some rural and other participants
encounter barriers due to communications infrastructure, including
computers and high-speed transmission lines needed for optimal Internet
access and electronic commerce with Federal agencies.
(3) Grantee Ombudsman
Due to the many issues raised by non-Federal grantees, the
objective of this task would be to assess the extent to which
requirements may be duplicative or unduly burdensome.
B. Pre-Award Work Group
The Pre-Award Work Group currently has three tasks: applications,
terms and conditions, and debarment and suspension. The current plans
for these projects are described in the following paragraphs.
To carry out the first two tasks, the work group created two
subgroups based on recipient type. One subgroup will look at
requirements for States, local and tribal governments, and nonprofit
organizations participating in Federal programs for purposes other than
research. The other subgroup will look at universities and nonprofit
organizations that administer research awards. The work group's
analysis of Federal funding data suggested that the two subcategories
of nonprofit organizations are different sets of organizations. As the
subgroups make progress on these two tasks, they may organize their
work so as to recognize other types of recipients (e.g., for-profit
firms) and specific functions (e.g., construction).
[[Page 4588]]
(1) Applications
The objective of this task is to streamline and simplify
application or proposal requirements and procedures for Federal
financial assistance programs administered by the agencies.
The focus is on the types of information that Federal agencies
require applicants or proposers to submit as a prerequisite to
obtaining Federal funds, whether in paper form or electronically. The
intent is to achieve greater consistency in the requirements of the
many Federal agencies, particularly where programs have similar
purposes. The goal of this group is to propose a standard set of data
elements for application forms or electronic transaction sets, which
will address more common formats.
(2) Terms and Conditions
The objective of this task is to streamline and simplify Federal
agencies' grant terms and conditions, through which agencies
communicate post-award requirements to recipients. This task includes
eliminating unnecessary requirements and unjustified differences among
the various awarding agencies (e.g., in the language used and the
placement of various provisions within the award document). This task
also includes developing a model or standard set of terms and
conditions, as well as standard assurances of compliance with
applicable national requirements.
(3) Debarment and Suspension
This task involves completion of ongoing work of the existing
Interagency Committee on Debarment and Suspension to simplify and
update the Government-wide common rule on nonprocurement debarment and
suspension, which also contains the Government-wide regulation
implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. The Committee is
drafting the rule in plain language format to make it easier to
understand and use. The updated rule will be published as a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register, with an opportunity for
the public to comment.
C. Post-Award Work Group
The Post-Award Work Group has five tasks: reporting, agencies'
payment systems, cost principles, grant financial system requirements,
and pooled payments. These tasks will be addressed primarily in
subgroups, and are described in the following paragraphs.
(1) Reporting
The objective of the first task is to review, streamline and
simplify reporting requirements and procedures for Federal grant and
cooperative agreement programs administered by the agencies.
This includes the development of more standard reports,
particularly among programs that serve similar purposes and are
administered by different Federal agencies. The current work group
focus is on the types of information that Federal agencies require a
recipient to submit for like programs, whether in paper form or
electronic, and establishing necessary data elements for common forms/
transaction sets. One goal is to consolidate forms, including
specialized OMB-approved forms for major Federal programs, and ensure
that instructions are clear.
Another goal is to improve the effectiveness and performance of
programs by facilitating greater coordination among Federal agencies
responsible for delivering services to the public, particularly for
similar programs.
(2) Agencies' Payment Systems
On June 16, 1998, the CFO Council approved a plan to have non-
Defense agencies select either the HHS Payment Management System (PMS)
or the Automated Standard Applications for Payments (ASAP) operated by
the Treasury's Financial Management Service and the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond for use in making payments to their grantees. The
Department of Defense will use the Defense Procurement Payment System.
The work group will continue to monitor agency progress in implementing
this plan.
(3) Cost Principles
One objective is to establish uniform administrative rules for
programs that cross agency lines. The goal in this area is to improve
the consistent use of language and terminology in describing the
requirements that are similar in the OMB cost principles (Circulars A-
21, A-87 and A-122). Currently there are differences in language,
interpretation, and description for many items that basically have the
same requirements. More consistent use of language and terminology
among the circulars will improve the relationship between grantees, the
Federal agencies, and external auditors. Adding new restrictions or
eliminating current ones, is not an objective.
In addition, the work group will review widely varying agency
implementations of Circular A-110 and differing interpretations of
Circulars A-102 and A-110, and other crosscutting regulations, are also
being reviewed. However, revision of these circulars and the
regulations themselves is not a current focus of the work group.
(4) Grant Financial System Requirements
The work group will monitor agency progress in implementing the
Grant Financial System Requirements, the first functional requirements
document issued for grant financial systems of the Federal Government.
It is one of a series of functional system requirements documents
published by the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP)
on Federal financial management systems requirements.
The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 mandated
that agencies implement and maintain systems that comply substantially
with Federal financial management systems requirements, applicable
Federal accounting standards, and the U.S. Government Standard General
Ledger (SGL) at the transaction level. This act codified JFMIP
financial systems requirements as a key benchmark that agency systems
must meet, in order to be substantially in compliance with systems
requirements provisions.
This document is intended to identify financial system requirements
necessary to support grants programs. It is intended to assist system
analysts, system accountants, and others who design, develop,
implement, operate, and maintain financial management systems.
(5) Pooled Payments
On May 1, 2000, an advance notice of proposed revision to Circular
A-110, that would require Federal awarding agencies to offer recipients
the option to request cash advances on a ``pooled'' basis, was
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 25396). Comments were sought
on the merits of pooled payment systems and grant-by-grant payment
systems. In that all comments have been received and analyzed, it is
the intent of this group to clarify differing positions on the issue
and specify when pooling is applicable.
D. Audit Oversight Work Group
The Audit Oversight Work Group's task is to streamline and simplify
audit-related requirements and services. The plans for this project
include examining the services provided by the Federal Audit
Clearinghouse (FAC) to determine where improvements can be made to
reduce the burden on auditors and auditees in complying with OMB
Circular A-133, and improving those FAC services.
[[Page 4589]]
The work group will suggest changes to the FAC procedures to
improve the FAC's dissemination of audit information to the public and
Federal agencies, its assistance to Federal cognizant and oversight
agencies in obtaining OMB Circular A-133 data and reporting packages,
and the FAC's services provided to assist OMB's oversight and
assessment of Federal award audit requirements. The work group will
also study ways to improve the FAC's home page, the outputs of the FAC,
and methods to identify and follow-up on delinquent audits.
Additional goals include improving single audit coverage of
critical areas identified by program officials; analyzing the adequacy
of methods to assess and measure single audit quality (e.g., quality
control reviews) to support Federal agency reliance on single audits;
providing general information on the process, responsibilities, and
role of the FAC; updating the Data Collection Form (Form SF-SAC);
providing annual updates to the Compliance Supplement; and producing an
overview of the single audit process to better inform recipients and
funding officials of the purposes and benefits of the single audit
process and the FAC.
E. Electronic Processing Work Group
The Electronic Processing Work Group is chaired by the two co-
chairs of the Interagency Electronic Grants Committee. Its task is to
enable effective use of electronic commerce throughout the Federal
financial assistance community, including a common application,
administrative and reporting system, and information collection and
sharing. This work group will assist and provide electronic solutions
to the other work groups in their endeavors. Plans are described in the
following paragraphs.
(1) Common Application, Administrative and Reporting System
One goal is to allow applicants the option to electronically apply
for, and report on the use of funds. This includes the development and
use of a common application, administrative and reporting system for
funding from multiple programs administered by different Federal
agencies.
These electronic options will be accomplished through the
establishment of a comprehensive, one-stop Federal Gateway for
electronic grants processing: the Federal Commons. Given adequate
funding, the Federal Commons will be developed and supported as the
common face for E-Commerce over the entire grants life cycle, offering
both general information exchange and secure electronic transaction
processing. The Federal Commons would allow each grantee to choose how
it conducts business with the Federal government, i.e., translate
whatever technology the grantee uses to a single standard; provide
electronic search capability; and possibly be housed at HHS.
Several pilots are underway. If successful, they will be developed
as modules of the Federal Commons. The first of these is based on the
FedBizOpps.Gov site (maintained by the General Services Administration)
for posting procurement opportunities. A contractor will develop a
parallel, but separate, system based on the Federal Register that will
be Web searchable. In addition to their work on Transaction Set 194 and
current activity broadening, as necessary, for the non-research
community, they are beginning to develop data standards for reporting.
Short term plans for the electronic option include supporting work
groups, continuing to pilot test, using successful pilots to develop
modules, rolling-out modules when ready, and deploying the Federal
Commons across agencies. Longer term plans include developing data
standards for reporting, enhancing Federal Commons modules using
products/end results of work groups, expanding use of the Federal
Commons across agencies, and eliminating unnecessary categorical
barriers which impede true streamlining efforts.
(2) Grantee Information Collection and Sharing
The second goal is to improve interagency and intergovernmental
coordination of information collection, and sharing of uniform data
pertaining to financial assistance programs. It applies to grant
recipients, not recipients of services, and it must be consistent with
privacy and confidentiality constraints.
This coordination and sharing would be accomplished through the
Federal Commons, with the development of a single information release
form that allows ``boiler-plate'' information (including certifications
and assurances) to be shared across Federal programs, so that
participating grantees need not repeat the same information for each
grant and Federal agency. Electronic processes would be available for
interactive dialogue and updating. The form could be filed once, easily
pulled up, referenced, and updated.
VII. Accomplishments
The following is a list of accomplishments that have been or are
expected to be completed by May, 2001, or for which there will be a
short-term plan for resolution.
State, local government, tribal government, research, and
other nonprofit entity consultation meetings conducted;
The Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP)
standards for grants/financial systems issued. These are standards for
financial transactions that are part of any grants management
information system;
Federal Commons concept: a single common portal for secure
E-Grants Business. Five initial pilots have been successfully completed
and are in the process of integration testing with three Federal
agencies--the User Registration, Account Administration, Organizational
Profile, Professional Profile, and Application Status Checking modules;
Data standards developed for grant application,
organizational and professional profiles, and grant award (promulgated
by the National Institute for Standards and Technology);
Data dictionary developed for all grants transactions as a
result of in-depth reviews by interagency teams of the data elements
used for grants administration;
Focus/forum for E-grants;
Federal commons electronic user administration completed
(includes organization profile and professional profile capability);
Debarment and suspension regulatory action;
Entitlement grant regulatory coverage;
Civilian agency conversion to HHS/Treasury payment
systems;
Pooled payment issues clarified in Federal Register;
Audit clearinghouse form (SF-SAC revised); and
Audit compliance supplement update issued
VIII. Time Frames/Conclusion
This effort will continue toward the establishment of further
specific annual goals and objectives, and an interim plan will be
submitted to Congress by May 20, 2001. However, this is a work in
progress and completion is expected to take up to five years.
Implementation of most aspects is expected by 2002, and the electronic
option is expected to be functional by 2003.
We recognize the tremendous importance of Federal financial
assistance programs and the services they provide, and are strongly
committed to the accomplishment of the objectives of the Act. We are
committed to making improvements in the areas described, and continuing
to develop additional specific annual goals and objectives.
[[Page 4590]]
Implementation can only be accomplished with full-time resources,
so the CFO Council is working with OMB, the Chief Information Officers
Council, and the Procurement Executives Council to secure the necessary
funding for this multi-year effort.
IX. Potential Recommendations to Congress
Section 6 of the Act requires OMB to submit a report to Congress
containing recommendations for changes in law to improve the
effectiveness, performance, and coordination of Federal financial
assistance programs. Therefore, a very important part of the
interagency process described in Sections V and VI of this plan will be
an assessment of the statutory impediments to accomplishing the
streamlining and simplification that Public Law 106-107 intends. OMB
will coordinate this assessment.
X. Individual Agency Commitments to the Interagency Process
The following agencies have jointly submitted the above-described
plan for implementation of Public Law 106-107; are actively
participating in the interagency process described in Sections V and VI
of this plan; support the designation and use of the Federal Commons as
the single portal for electronic business interactions with non-Federal
entities related to grants award and administration; and will identify
and address in their respective resource allocation processes the
necessary agency resources, including both human and financial
resources, to interconnect internal agency organizations and systems
with the Federal Commons and otherwise implement this plan:

Initiatives Specific to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has taken a
number of steps to streamline management of its grant programs.
Highlights of this are discussed below.
A. Creation of A Departmental Grants Management System (DGMS)
HUD is in the process of creating a department-wide Internet based
system for managing its grants. The system covers the entire life cycle
of a grant, including application submission, review and evaluation of
a submission, award and monitoring, and finally close-out and audit.
HUD currently has a number of different systems that are used for
managing grants, none of which provide coverage through the entire
grant life cycle, or provide a means of capturing data from the various
systems to create one picture of grants across the department. The
purpose of DGMS is to have information on HUD grants in one place, at
one time. This will allow HUD to better monitor grantees for compliance
with existing regulations and assist in assessing performance of
grantees against agreed-upon performance measures. DGMS will also
enable HUD to accurately report performance against the goals in the
Annual Business Operating Plan and the strategic plan. DGMS will have
current and active information for timely submission of HUD's Annual
Progress Report to Congress. For grantees, DGMS can be a useful
planning tool for the allocation and management of local financial
resources and staff. DGMS will also allow grantees to have accurate
knowledge of status of all their grants with HUD. The creation of DGMS
has been a collaborative effort involving all arms of HUD that are
directly or indirectly involved in providing information and assistance
to grantees and potential applicants, or managing grants. Below are
some results achieved through the DGMS development process:
One process for accepting grant applications for all
formula grants and one process for accepting competitive grant
applications.
A single unified way to commit, de-commit, obligate, and
de-obligate funds to a selected applicant, issue grant
[[Page 4592]]
awards, and issue grant amendments for all grant awards.
Uniform elements for conducting risk assessments of
grantees.
Uniform monitoring module for assessing grantee
performance over the life of the grant.
Uniform method for grantees to identify the projects,
activities they were undertaking as part of their grant programs. DGMS
will include opportunity for grantees to include tasks but in
consultation with grantees, it was determined to make tasks optional.
Tracking of grant information as it was proposed in the
application and as it was approved by HUD. DGMS will also track actual
fund usage and accomplishments by activity.
Tracking of draw downs and performance in completing
projects and activities on time and within budget, plus or minus 10% of
the approved program budget line items and have the ability to roll the
activity items up into budget line items of salaries, fringe, travel,
equipment, supplies, etc. for the entire grant. Grantees asked that
DGMS use the accrual system to make it easier for accounting staff and
auditors to track funds.
Applicants/Grantees will enter information directly into
DGMS to avoid errors or misunderstandings among grantees and HUD staff.
Each program will have an administrator to set-up DGMS,
including creation of parameters and checklists for applicants/grantees
to use. This idea came from requests by grantees and public interest
groups, as well as program staff.
Interested parties wanting to get general grant program
information or applications for assistance will be able to do so at
HUD's home page (www.hud.gov).
Program administrators will give access rights to staff
and grantees, who will in turn give access rights to their staff and
grantees.
Tracking of funds down to an infinite levels of sub-
recipients.
A single process for close-out and audit of all HUD
grants.
B. HUD's 2020 Management Reform Efforts
Over the past several years, HUD has been reforming its management
and operational practices. As part of this effort, HUD examined the
various processes used to manage its portfolio of grants, subsidies and
contracts. Agency staff worked to streamline grant application
processes, identified areas for streamlining and elimination of
paperwork, and sought ways programs could better work together. Chief
among examples of where HUD has successfully streamlined its processes
is HUD's Consolidated Plan which combines four separate entitlement
programs (CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA) into a single planning and
application process that State and local governments can use to manage
their HUD program dollars; the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance
Programs which consolidated the application and submission process for
a variety of programs (Supportive Housing, Shelter Plus Care, Section 8
moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy); and the HOPE VI
Revitalization program which includes demolition, revitalization, and
Section 8 program funds into a single application. The Consolidated
Plan won Harvard University's Innovations In Government Award in 1998;
the Continuum of Care won this prestigious award in 1999; and HOPE VI
in the year 2000.
The same effort that has gone into reforming HUD's programs is
being used to reform HUD's management of its grant programs. Using a
collaborative re-engineering process, HUD is currently working in Legal
Joint Application Design sessions with the Office of General Counsel on
streamlining application forms, developing common grant award
documents, and standardized terms and conditions for formula and
competitive grant awards.
C. Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
HUD now publishes all its competitive grant NOFAs at one time in a
``SuperNOFA.'' Grant funding opportunities were previously announced at
various times during the year, and often had varying policies and
requirements for applications. With the SuperNOFA, HUD has established
standardized policies and language for the following:
Deadlines and acceptance of applications for competitive
grants.
Submission procedures for all applications.
Basic criteria for rating and ranking applications--
Capacity of the Applicant and Organizational Staff to Perform the Work;
Need/Extent of the Problem; Soundness of Approach; Leveraging
Resources; and Comprehensiveness and Coordination.
Encouragement of applicants to participate in HUD policy
initiatives.
Eligibility based on program statutory and regulatory
requirements.
Threshold requirement for compliance with Fair Housing and
Civil Rights Laws.
Threshold requirements for compliance with the Americans
With Disabilities Act of 1990, and if applicable, compliance with
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 for
providing economic opportunities for Low and Very-Low Income Persons;
and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.
Application of requirements under the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1970, as amended, and
the governmentwide rule in 49 CFR part 24.
Use of Standard Forms in the application submission.
Applicability of environmental requirements under 24 CFR
part 50 and part 58.
Applicability of OMB Circulars and provided information on
how to obtain copies.
Bonus Points in Rating Applications.
Grant negotiations.
Correction of Deficient Applications.
Adjustments to Funding.
Prohibitions on Lobbying.
Requirements for documentation and public access under
Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act of 1989 and the regulations codified
in 24 CFR part 4, Subpart A in a uniform manner.
Application forms that apply to all applications, in
addition to program specific forms.
