Issued By: OMB - Effective Date: 07.24.2009, 188.771K, pdf
Abstract: n April 7, 2009, OMB issued interim guidance to implement section 3 of the President's March 20, 2009, Memorandum entitled, "Ensuring Responsible Spending of Recovery Act Funds." The purpose of the President's Memorandum was to enhance merit-based decision-making with respect to Recovery Act funds and to require transparency for contacts between lobbyists and government officials concerning Recovery Act funding.
The President asked OMB to issue new guidance, after further consultations with agencies and outside stakeholders, in order to better promote the March 20, 2009, Memorandum's goals of merit-based and transparent agency decision-making with regard to Recovery Act funding. Based on that process, we have updated the sample guidance for your internal use and adaptation.
