OMB Publishes Updated Guidance for Implementing ARRA

On April 3, 2009, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published (here) Implementing Guidance for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("Recovery Act").

This is the second installment of detailed government-wide guidance for carrying out programs and activities enacted in the Recovery Act. This updated guidance supplements, amends and clarifies the initial guidance issued by OMB on February 18, 2009 (Initial Implementing Guidance for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, M-09-10). Updates to the guidance are based on ongoing input received from the public, Congress, state and local government officials, grant and contract recipients and federal personnel.
