Sec.  74.51  Monitoring and reporting program performance.



    (a) Recipients are responsible for managing and monitoring each

award. Recipients shall monitor subawards to ensure subrecipients have 

met the audit requirements in Sec.  74.26.

    (b) The Secretary prescribes the frequency with which the 

performance reports shall be submitted. Except as provided in Sec.  

74.51(f), performance reports are not required more frequently than 

quarterly or, less frequently than annually. Annual reports are due 90 

calendar days after the grant year; quarterly or semi-annual reports are 

due 30 days after the reporting period.

The Secretary 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 is not 

required after completion of the project.

    (d) When required, performance reports must 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, this 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 are not required to submit more than the original and 

two copies of performance reports.

    (f) Recipients shall immediately notify the Secretary of 

developments that have a significant impact on the award-supported 

activities. Also, notification must 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 must include a 

statement of the action taken or contemplated, and any assistance needed 

to resolve the situation.

    (g) The Secretary may make site visits, as needed.

    (h) The Secretary complies with the clearance requirements of 5 CFR 

part 1320 when requesting performance data from recipients.
