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.
