Subject: Registration for FederalReporting.gov 

 

Registration for FederalReporting.gov began Monday, August 17, 2009. American Recovery 
and Reinvestment Act funding recipient registration opened at www.FederalReporting.gov. All 
funding recipients must register prior to fulfilling their reporting obligations. We encourage 
early registration so you are prepared for the first reporting period, which opens on October 1, 
2009. 

 

There are prerequisites for registration which require recipients to obtain a Data Universal 
Numbering System (DUNS) number from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) and or to register with 
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) prior to registering on FederalReporting.gov. If you do 
not have a DUNS number, visit D&B at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. If you need a CCR 
registration, please start the registration process as soon as possible at http://www.ccr.gov. 

 

For more information on the pre-requisites for registering, please visit the Office of Management 
and Budget’s (OMB) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Web page, which can be found at 
www.recovery.gov/?q=content/frequently-asked-questions#recipients. Please do not begin the 
registration process until you have completed the DUNS and or CCR registration requirements. 

 


Along with the FederalReporting.gov Web site, a service desk will be operational to assist in the 
registration process. Please contact the FederalReporting.gov Service Desk at 877-508-7386 for 
assistance. 

 

Registration will continue through September 30, 2009, with reporting officially beginning on 
October 1, 2009 through October 10, 2009. In addition to registration information, and in 
preparation for the reporting cycle, the final reporting forms and Recipient Reporting FAQs can 
be found on Recovery.Gov at http://www.recovery.gov/?q=content/recipient-reporting. OMB’s 
Implementing Guidance for the Reports on Use of Funds Pursuant to the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (June 22, 2009 version) is available at the following Web site: 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/recovery_default/. Please continue to check these sites for 
additional guidance as it becomes available.
