Prerequisites

To register for this course, please click the blue "Register" button found in the top right column of this page.

Note: The first reporting period for ARRA funding recipients is October 1 through October 10.

If your local government is receiving money directly from a federal agency (or will receive such money by September 30), someone from your local government will need to register at http://www.federalreporting.gov as soon as possible. Instructions and additional information for registering is available at that website through the “FAQ” link at the top of the page.

  • If your local government is receiving money from a state agency (or you will receive such money by September 30th), ask your contact person with that agency whether you will be required to report on http://www.federalreporting.gov (in which case someone from your local government will need to register there as soon as possible—see the “FAQ” link on that page for instructions), or if the state agency will do the reporting for you. If the state agency is doing the reporting, ask them what information they will need from you, when they will need it, and in what format you will need to provide the information to them.


Because there will not be time for a complete review of all requirements, webinar participants (and all recipients of ARRA funding) are strongly encouraged to visit these sites for additional information:
