FTA Dear Colleague Letter Describes Change in Report Submission Policy
FTA Acting Administrator Jane Williams recently released a Dear Colleague letter describing a change in policy for Milestone Progress Report (MPR) and Federal Financial Report (FFR) submission requirements.
Under FTA's Award Management Requirements Circular, recipients in urbanized areas over 200,000 in population are required to submit the MPR and FFR on a quarterly basis. However, the circular notes that FTA may use a risk-based approach to change the frequency of reporting. After reviewing the grant portfolio and analyzing risk, FTA decided to reduce the reporting frequency for many of these grants.
The text of the letter is here and the text of the circular is here.
