by the National Agricultural Research, 

Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 

1977, 7 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.

2 CFR parts 200 and 400. For assistance

and financial performance under FAS 

assistance agreements.

personnel to qualify and select 

assistance agreement applicants for 

funding. Post-award reporting is used by 

FAS personnel to make amendments to 

established assistance agreement 

awards, to make payments pursuant to 

such awards, and to verify that the 

recipient is using Federal funds 

appropriately to comply with applicable 

Federal and agency requirements. The 

information is necessary to ensure 

minimum fiscal control and 

accountability for award funds and to 

deter waste, fraud, and abuse.
