In preparing for the upcoming reporting period, we wanted to send this email containing updates and reminders. Unfortunately, this is a fairly long email, but we wanted to make sure we communicated all of the pertinent information. I am attaching the powerpoint presented at the 12/09/09 meeting. Please review this powerpoint for a more detailed explanation of the following items. Our goal this reporting period is to streamline the processing and allow users to view information submitted to the central repository and to view information on the federal website. This will provide two opportunities for users to insure that the data has been reported correctly. Highlights of the powerpoint include: 1) csv files: please use the appropriate naming convention for your files. This will make the review process in the Load Control reports easier. The powerpoint also contains an example of the 'passthrough' functionality. Also, please make sure you update the reporting period in each of the files to reflect the current reporting period - 12/31/09. 2) FTP process: both a test and production site are available. The powerpoint provides instructions for uploading to each site. Typically a user will not need to upload to the test site, but the functionality is available if needed. 3) Load Control reports: Users may review these reports to either (1) identify errors detected during the edit/upload process or (2) validate data that was successfully loaded. To gain access to the load control reports, users must request a userid. Instructions are listed in the powerpoint. A 'Help' tab is available on the Load Control report screen that provides helpful links, troubleshooting tips, and ability to download csv files and instructions. OSF is in the process of contacting agency security liaisons to provide userids and passwords to agency personnel. 4) Federal website: At least one representative from each agency should register at federalreporting.gov using the state's DUNS number (809929821). This will allow users to view data that has been loaded to the federal website. OMB published supplemental guidance on Friday, December 18th. I will send a copy of the memorandum in a separate email. In general, it addresses two issues (1) data quality and (2) updated guidance on job calculations. Data Quality: Federal agencies intended to improve the quality of data reported under Section 1512 of the Recovery Act and further outlines important steps Federal agencies must take to both identify non-reporting recipients and take actions to bring such recipients into compliance with Section 1512 of the Act. Updated Guidance on Job Calculations: Updates Reporting on Jobs Creation Estimates by Recipients. The update reflects important simplifications to the manner in which job estimates are calculated and reported. Specifically, recipients will now report job estimates on a quarterly, rather than cumulative, basis. As a result, recipients will no longer be required to sum various data on hours worked across multiple quarters of data when calculating job estimates. In addition, recipients will no longer be required to make a subjective judgment on whether jobs were created or retained as a result of the Recovery Act. Instead, recipients will more easily and objectively report on jobs funded with Recovery Act dollars. The updated guidance provides a series of practical and user-friendly examples of how the simplified formula should be applied. Recipients should implement the updated methodology to the greatest extent possible for the January reporting period. Reporting Timeline: The federal law requires recipients to report by the 10th of the month. OMB has announced that the FederalReporting.gov website will be available for reporting from January 1st to the 15th. This will allow recipients a few additional days to update award information before it is considered 'late'. The FederalReporting.gov website has been updated to reflect the January reporting dates. The federal government is implementing new edits to insure data quality. This means that some items that may have loaded successfully in the past may not pass the updated edits. Due to this and the federal law requiring that reports are filed by the 10th, OSF would like to make sure that each agency uploads its data as timely as possible so that any rejections can be fixed and resubmitted. Even if you do not have your 'final' reports, please go ahead and submit the information that is available by January 10th. Then, the final updates can be submitted through January 15th. Based on the the published timelines, the federal website will be open for revisions until January 15th and updates will not be flagged as a 'late report' until January 16th. Please review the information in the attached powerpoint and the subsequent email with the federal guidance. The system is available so you may begin submitting reports for 12/31/09 whenever you are ready. If you have any questions, please contact the OSF Helpdesk (521-2444 or helpdesk at osf.ok.gov).
