                    Subpart C_Post-Award Requirements

 

Sec. 30.51  Monitoring and reporting program performance.



    (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. 30.26.

    (b) EPA shall prescribe the frequency with which the 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. EPA 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 EPA 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.
