Auditorium at 1400 Independence Ave., 

SW., Washington, DC 20250. Meeting 

registration is not required, but you 

must arrive early and bring a photo I.D. 

to ensure adequate time for USDA 

security to clear you to enter the 

building. The GPC encourages 

organizations to attend and to invite 

their staffs and members to attend the 

meeting in person or via Webcast. 

Overview: This meeting will serve as 

an opportunity for the public to view 

and discuss the six proposed 

government-wide post-award forms for 

recipients of federal financial assistance: 

(1) Federal Financial Report; (2) 

Performance Progress Report; (3) 

Performance Progress Report for 

Research Programs; (4) Tangible 

Personal Property; (5) Real Property 

Status; (6) and Inventions Report. Prior 

to the March 8 Webcast meeting, these 

proposed forms will be posted on the 

Federal Grants Streamlining Initiative 

(FGSI) Web site at http://www.grant.gov/ 

aboutgrants/grants_news.jsp.

GPC Webcast: Questions on the webcast

Information and materials that pertain 

to this Webcast meeting, including the 

call-in telephone number, the agenda, 

and the six proposed forms will be 

posted on the FGSI Web site at http:// 

www.grant.gov/aboutgrants/ 

grants_news.jsp under the March 8

Also, after the meeting, a link to its 

recording will be posted on the FGSI 

Web site for at least 90 days. 

Comments Submission Information: 

You may submit comments during the 

Webcast meeting via telephone or email. The e-mail address for comments 

both during and after the Webcast is 

GPCWebcast@nsf.gov. You may submit 

comments for ten working days 

following the March 8 meeting. All 

Webcast comments pertaining to the six 

proposed forms will be retained for 

consideration during the process of 

finalizing the forms prior to submitting 

them to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for formal approval. 

Because the federal grant making 

agencies may use these forms to collet 

information from ten or more recipients 

of federal financial assistance 

(awardees), OMB approval/clearance 

must be obtained prior to their being 

used as information collection 

instruments (Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of the Webcast meeting: The 

purpose of the meeting is to continue 

the GPC’s efforts to update and inform 

grant stakeholders about the GPC’s past 

and ongoing activities related to the 

FGSI in accordance with Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 106–107. 

Specifically, the March 8 webcast 

meeting will serve as an opportunity to 

solicit feedback and clarify any 

interested stakeholders’ issues or 

concerns regarding the six proposed 

government-wide post-award forms. 

Meeting structure and agenda: The 

March 8 Webcast meeting will have the 

following structure and agenda: 

(1) Welcome by the host agency, 

USDA; 

(2) Introduction and update by the 

Chair of the GPC; 

(3) Update and explanation of forms 

from the post-award work group; and 

(4) Participants’ discussion, questions 

and comments. 

As a result of stakeholder input received 

from the GPC’s first webcast on October 

25, 2006, the GPC has invited 

stakeholder organization representatives 

to present comments and questions 

relating to the post-award forms. 

Additionally, 60–75 minutes are 

scheduled for general participant input. 

Finally, please note that predecisional, 

internal governmental, and other 

nonpublic information cannot be 

discussed. 

Background: Background about the 

FGSI is set forth in the Federal Register 

published on September 13, 2006 (71 FR 

54098). The GPC post-award work group 

is responsible for streamlining policies 

and practices that pertain to federal 

monitoring of awardees and awardee 

performance, required reporting, and 

payments. The six forms to be discussed 

during the GPC’s March 8 Webcast 

meeting are post-award work group 

products. These forms were developed 

to simplify reporting requirements; 

standardize, consolidate, and strengthen 

grant reporting; and improve the overall 

delivery of services to awardees.
