Subject: ARRA Reporting - January 2011


We are preparing for the next reporting period.  We received the following
communication from the feds and wanted to pass it along.  Please verify
your CCR is active and will not expire during the reporting period (see
last paragraph) - this will alleviate many problems.  If you experience any
problems during the reporting period, please contact the OSF HelpDesk
(521-2444 or helpdesk at osf.ok.gov) and we will be available to assist you.
Thanks!


The next ARRA s. 1512 reporting period opens on January 1, 2011.
Recipients of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds
are required to submit their quarterly reports to by midnight, Eastern Time
on January  10.  The Recovery Act Transparency Board has issued any
extension to the statutory reporting deadline, establishing a late
submission period that ends on January 14.  Your institution is encouraged
to submit its reports as early in the reporting period as possible in order
to ensure the reports are accepted in a timely and orderly fashion and
benefit from all rounds of review conducted by NIH.  Adjustments  can
always be made to the reports later, if necessary.

Although corrections can be made at various times throughout the quarter,
NO REPORTS CAN BE SUBMITTED after January 14, 2011.  If the reporting
window is missed, the report cannot be submitted.  If the submission fails
because of validation errors, and the late submission period ends before
your institution is able to make the necessary corrections, no extension
will be granted.  Your institution is strongly encouraged to submit its
ARRA reports early (during the regular submission period prior to January
10) to permit time for validations to be processed by the
FederalReporting.gov system and validation errors to be addressed.

Please remember to verify that your Institution's Central Contractor
Registration is active prior to the beginning of the reporting period.  If
the CCR expires, the FRPIN will no longer be active and your institution
will be unable to submit reports.  Since this can take several days to
resolve, failure to renew the CCR can result in non-compliance.
