OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND

Office of Federal Financial
Management; Consolidated Federal
Financial Report
AGENCY: Office of Federal Financial
Management (OFFM), Office of
Management and budget (OMB).
ACTION: Notice of proposed consolidated
Federal Financial Report.
SUMMARY: The Office of Federal
Financial Management proposes to
consolidate several existing financial
reporting forms into a single financial
report to be used by the Federal
agencies and grant recipients. The
purpose of this consolidated Federal
Financial Report is to provide grant
recipients with a standard format and
consistent reporting requirements to be
used for reporting financial information
on formula and discretionary grants and
cooperative agreements. The Federal
awarding agencies jointly developed
this format as one part of the
implementation of the Federal Financial
Assistance management Improvement
Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106–107).
DATES: All comments on this proposals
should be in writing, and must be
received by June 9, 2003.

Due to potential delays in
OMB’s receipt and processing of mail
sent through the U.S. Postal Service, we
encourage respondents to submit
comments electronically to ensure
timely receipt. We cannot guarantee that

This
notice addresses issues raised during
the public consultation process
mandated by Public Law 106–107.
Many areas of financial reporting were
identified as being in need for
improvement and streamlining.
Commenters suggested the use of a
single form, consistency in reporting
frequency and requirements elimination
of duplicate information, and electronic
submission of reports.
The Financial Status Report (SF 269
and 269a) and the Federal Cash
Transaction Report (SF 272 and 272a)
were reviewed and analyzed to
determine the data elements common to
multiple forms and the data elements
unique to any single form.

Consolidation of these forms in
intended to reduce the reporting burden
placed on award recipients and to
streamline the data collection process.
In addition to the consolidated set of
data elements, four new data elements
were added:
(1) Reporting entity’s universal
identifier (see proposal to use the Duns
Universal Numbering System (DUNS) in
the October 30, 2002, Federal Register,
Vol 67, No. 210, pp. 66177–66178);
(2) Total recipient share required;
(3) Remaining recipient share to be
provided; and
(4) Reporting entity’s e-mail address.
This information was combined and
resulted in four standard sections for
reporting transactions and balances. The
standard sections include: Status of
Federal Cash, Status of Federal
Expenditures and Unobliged Balance (of
Federal funds), Status of Recipient
Share, and Program Income.
Federal agencies will not be required
to collect all of the information included
on the proposed form. The Federal
agency will identify the sections that
must be completed by recipients and the
frequency of report submission. We
have allowed for flexibility in the
frequency of reporting but have
established a uniform due date of no
later than 30 days after of each specified
reporting period.
The immediate use of this proposed
form would be in a paper format.
However, the data elements included in
the paper format are intended to be used
in the future for the electronic
submission and collection of financial
information.
We welcome your input on any aspect
of the Federal Financial Report.

respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
