Submission ID: 49089 Submission Files: File A - appropriations: Comments: "o\tFinancing Accounts & Program Accounts for Credit. Credit program financing account activity is not required to be reported under the DATA Act, and as a result, award information for certain contract costs paid out of those accounts will not appear to be directly linked to account data. Funding for these costs is reflected in the program account, per the Federal Credit Reform Act, as outlined in Section 185 of OMB Circular A-11. o\tAccount Structure Changes. There are instances when the agency is required to change the structure of account level data (e.g., transitioning accounts from one agency to another necessitates the agency identifier to change). In these instances, aggregate amounts may no longer align with what was historically reported. o\tAccount Alignment. Alignment issues of reporting under budgetary attributes (e.g., issues regarding the usage of the prior-year adjustment indicator) may occur, while still passing consistency and validation checks. The Department relies on entity-level controls to provide reasonable assurance over the quality of reported data."

These Federal credit awards do not require budget authority for the subsidy cost and are therefore not required to be reported under DATA Act. As per OMB guidance, awards of this nature are reported as a zero or negative value in the original subsidy cost field on File D2. o\tMissing Awards. Agencies are not required by statue or policy to report awards below the micro-purchase threshold (as defined by FAR 2.101) or any classified, sensitive, or personally identifiable information. o\tAward ID Linkage. As required by DATA Act reporting to USAspending.gov, agencies must link their financial account data to their award data using a Federal Award ID as of January 1, 2017. For data submitted prior to that date, award data may not be linked to financial account data. Discrepancies may also occur due to system interface issues and/or rounding. o\tNon-Treasury Entity Procurements. The Department continues to remediate known issues and the Department does not believe the discrepancies hinder the use of the data for most purposes. o\tCross-servicing. The DATA Act File C (Award Financial File) submission may exclude award information due to system integration issues between the award and financial systems in cases where a reporting entity is serviced by two different reporting entities. o\tTiming Issues. Agency submissions for the DATA Act pull data from multiple sources. Each of these sources has a different frequency for updating the relevant data to USAspending.gov. These timing differences can result in data being displayed at different intervals throughout the quarter, at times resulting in potential delays in awards matching appropriations account-level data as of the end of a quarter. In some cases, the timing differences are allowable and justified based on the reporting standard. o\tEquitable Sharing Program. The Department is aware of a reporting discrepancy for CFDA 21.016, \"Equitable Sharing\" for the Treasury Asset Forfeiture Program and is actively working on resolving the issue."
