Abstract:
On February 17, 2009, the President signed Public Law 111-5, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act), including a number of provisions to be implemented in Federal Government contracts. A FAR clause was issued via an interim rule on March 31, 2009 to implement section 1512, which is also known as the Jobs Accountability Act. The FAR clause required quarterly reporting on the use of funds, including the prime contractors direct jobs resulting from Recovery Act funding. This new interim rule will revise the clause to require first-tier subcontractors with Recovery Act funded awards of $25,000 or more, to report jobs information to the prime contractor for reporting into the online reporting tool at www.FederalReporting.gov. The interim rule also changes when reporting begins by requiring the prime contractor to submit its first report on or before the 10th day after the end of the calendar quarter in which the prime contractor received the award, and quarterly thereafter.
Emergency Justfication:
This action is necessary because most of the funds provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for obligation on Federal contracts, must be obligated by September 2010. In order to obtain the additional information on jobs, the requirements must be implemented immediately.
