Section 1526 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requires the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board to establish and maintain a user-friendly, public-facing website to foster greater accountability and transparency in the use of Recovery funds. To increase usability of the website, the Recovery Board is adding features that will make the site more user-friendly and further enable detailed tracking of all money spent under the Recovery Act. Focus groups will test these features before they go live.
The decision to do a focus group was made mid- to late April. It usually takes 2 to 3 months to recruit all the participants, rent the facilities, and develop the script and outline. The writing of the PRA had to be done in parallel with the focus group process, which is why the Board would like to do an emergency review. A 60-day Federal Register notice was not submitted because the Board did not have the cities set or the number of focus groups the Board is going to do, or the number of participants set until late May 2010. After that was determined, the Board started drafting the supporting statement, which was recently approved.
