implement post-award financial and 

performance reporting for those 

programs. Finally, the Department of 

Commerce’s implementation of OMB’s 

Uniform Administrative Requirements 

authorizes NTIA to require performance 

reports from BTOP grant recipients. 

To date, NTIA has utilized OMBapproved Performance Progress Reports 

(PPRs) to capture quarterly and annual 

reports for each project type 

(Infrastructure, Public Computer Center, 

and Sustainable Broadband Adoption). 

Each PPR provides updates on 

fundamental project milestones and key 

performance indicators that allow NTIA 

to measure project progress and ensure 

proper monitoring and compliance with 

program rules. 

After reviewing recent PPRs, NTIA 

identified a need to collect additional 

information from Infrastructure grant 

recipients to assess more accurately the 

progress of BTOP grants in relation to 

intended program benefits. Specifically, 

NTIA modified its existing annual 

performance report for Infrastructure 

awards by adding questions that require 

Infrastructure grantees to provide 

supplemental information regarding 

project deployment. NTIA requires this 

additional project implementation 

information to better monitor and assess 

the effect BTOP grant awards are having 

meeting program goals, including 

increasing broadband availability and 

adoption and achieving economic and 

social benefits in communities served 

by the grantees. 

NTIA intends to use the information 

collected to: (1) Identify more accurately 

BTOP grant beneficiaries; (2) track better 

a project’s progress against programspecific objectives; (3) facilitate further 

monitoring and oversight efforts of 

existing grants; and (4) ensure that grant 

projects will have the intended 

sustained impacts. 

II. Method of Collection 

The reports will be submitted 

electronically.
