N.M. Code R. § 10.10.2.17 - REPORTING AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS

A. Accountability and transparency under the Recovery Act: consistent with the special purposes and goals of the Recovery Act, and its strong emphasis on accountability and transparency, it is essential that all funds from a Recovery Act grant be tracked, accounted for, and reported on separately from all other funds (including DOJ grant funds from non-Recovery Act grants awarded for the same or similar purposes or programs). Recipients must also be prepared to track and report on the specific outcomes and benefits attributable to use of Recovery Act funds. Each sub-recipient will be responsible for having completed reports sent to the grants management bureau no later than five days after the end of each calendar quarter. Each recipient that received recovery funds shall submit a report to the grants management bureau that contains:

(1) the total amount of recovery funds received;

(2) the amount of recovery funds that were expended or obligated;

(3) a detailed list of all projects or activities for which recovery funds were expended or obligated;

(a) the name of the project or activity;

(b) a description of the project or activity;

(c) an evaluation of the completion status of the project or activity;

(d) an estimate of the number of jobs created and the number of jobs retained by the project or activity; and,

(e) for infrastructure investments made by state or local governments, the purpose, total cost, and rationale of the agency for funding the infrastructure investment with funds made available under this act, and the name of the person to contact at the agency if there are concerns with the infrastructure investment.

B. Detailed information to include the data elements required to comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 ( Public Law 109-282 ), allowing aggregate reporting on awards below $25,000 or to individuals, as prescribed by the director to the office of management and budget.

C. To assist in fulfilling the accountability objectives of the Recovery Act, as well as the department's responsibilities under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), ( Public Law 103-62 ), applicants who receive funding under this solicitation must provide data that measures the result of their work.

D. Recipients will also be required to submit quarterly progress reports, either semi-annually or annually. The department of public safety may withhold the reimbursement of funds if any award recipient is delinquent in submitting the required progress reports.

E. Financial requirements: Recipient agrees to comply the financial and administrative requirements set forth in the current edition of the office of justice programs (OJP) financial guide.

F. Audit requirements: The recipient agrees to comply with the organizational audit of OMB circular A-133, audit of states, local government, and non-profit organizations, as further described in the current edition of the OJP financial guide, chapter 19.

G. Non-supplanting: Formula grant funds shall not be used to supplant applicant funds, but will be used to increase the amount of such funds that would, in the absence of federal aid, be made available for law enforcement activities.
