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.
