Where Recovery.gov is Going
Key (Near) Successes•Central Reporting OMB is “moving aggressively” to develop a central collection system for recipient reports.
•Multi-Tier Reporting “OMB plans to expand the reporting model in the future to also obtain…information [on awardees beyond first-level awards], once the system capabilities and processes have been established.”
Remaining Gaps•Jobs data reporting
•Other performance data specs left up to agencies
•Contract data – summaries and not full language
