GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Federal Accounting Standards

Advisory Board

AGENCY: General Accounting Office.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance of Statement

of Federal Financial Accounting

Standards (SFFAS) No. 18).

Board Action: Pursuant to the Federal

Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. No.

92–463), as amended, and the FASAB

Rules Of Procedure, as amended in

October, 1999, notice is hereby given

that the Federal Accounting Standards

Advisory Board (FASAB) has issued

Statement of Federal Financial

Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 18,

Amendments to Accounting Standards

for Direct Loans and Loan Guarantees in

SFFAS No. 2.

The Board approved the Statement in

February 2000, and submitted it to

FASAB principals for a 90-day review.

The review period closed on May 19,

2000.

SFFAS No. 18 provides the following

new requirements to improve financial

reporting for subsidy costs and

performance of Federal credit programs:

• Report subsidy reestimates in two

distinct components: the interest rate

reestimate and the technical/default

reestimate. The former is a reestimate

due to a change in interest rates used in

calculating the subsidy expense. The

latter is a reestimate due to changes

made in projected cash flows after

reevaluating all the risk factors as of the

financial statement date.

• Display a reconciliation on an

entity-wide basis between the beginning

and the ending balances of the subsidy

cost allowance for direct loans and the

liability for loan guarantees, reported in

an entity’s balance sheet.

• Provide a narrative to disclose and

discuss events and changes in economic

conditions and legislation that have had

a significant and measurable effect on

the subsidy costs of direct loans and

loan guarantees.

The standards prescribed in SFFAS

No. 18 are effective for periods

beginning after September 30, 2000.

Hard copies of the statement will be

mailed to the FASAB mailing list. It is

also available on the FASAB web site at

www.financenet.gov/fasab.htm or by

calling 202–512–7350.

Proposed Projects

1. Public Health Infrastructure

Surveillance and Performance

Monitoring Network—New—The

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) proposes to establish

a sentinel network of 320 local health

departments to provide ongoing public

health system infrastructure and

capacity data. As the nation’s

prevention agency, CDC is working to

support the U.S. public health mission

of rapidly detecting disease and health

risks, rapidly communicating and

strengthening the capacity to respond.

Towards this goal, CDC proposes to

assess and strengthen the nation’s

public health infrastructure by

developing a network of local health

departments that will provide ongoing

information to public health leaders,

policy makers, program managers and

others to identify needs, target

resources, and assist in overall

preparedness. Data gathered by survey

from the sentinel network will also lead

to improvement of the public health

communications systems and reinforced

training and credentialing for core

workforce skills, and will help in

developing standards for improved

organizational performance.

The purpose of this Sentinel System

is to: (1) Provide data to assist with

monitoring and measuring local public

health systems; (2) assess the public

health infrastructure including data and

information systems, public health

workforce, and effective public health

organizations that enable the

performance of the essential public

health services in every community; and

(3) evaluate the use of these data in

developing strategies to strengthen the

infrastructure of public health. This data

will allow CDC and the public health

community to improve infrastructure

quality and capacity. Examples of crosscutting infrastructure issues that may be

identified by this data include the

extent of under-funding of public

health, the need for effective local

leadership and for integrated electronic

information systems, and the emerging

role of measurable standards for local

health departments.

The main respondents to the survey

will be local health officers. The annual

burden hours are estimated to be 1,920.
