Are there specific actions that the BIA and Tribes should be considering related to tracking these economic recovery/recovery funded projects in case of audit?
Answer 18: In addition to the normal stewardship and oversight that is applied to the administration of projects, there will be very specific and detailed tracking and reporting requirements related to the funding, projects, and employment on all ARRA funded projects. The forms and reporting processes are currently being developed by FHWA. It will be the responsibility of the BIA and Tribes to provide the required information to FHWA for inclusion in weekly reports to OMB and quarterly reports to Congress. FHWA will work directly with the Tribes under IRR Program Agreements with FHWA to gather the required information.
