What actions must a Federal agency take when it issues guidance for recipients (e.g., State and local governments) regarding the Recovery Act?
When a Federal agency issues guidance on the Recovery Act, the agency must immediately post the guidance on the agency’s Recovery Act web page. In addition, the agency must disseminate the guidance, to the maximum extent practical, to a broad array of external stakeholders (e.g., Governors, State Legislatures, state program offices, local government officials, etc.) and respond promptly to their queries about the guidance. Federal agencies are encouraged to engage state and local governments during the development of any relevant guidance.
