Performance progress reports (PPR) document grant recipient accomplishments and compliance with terms of federal grant awards. The FVPSA Program has received many questions from FVPSA grant recipients about their ability to combine reporting of ARP supplemental funding with their annual core FVPSA funding performance progress reports. Combined reporting of the annual FVPSA core funding and ARP funding is not allowed, and grant recipients are required to submit one PPR for their annual core FVPSA funding and one separate PPR for all their ARP supplemental funding.  The FVPSA Program’s responses and clarifications to grant recipient performance progress reporting questions are discussed in this document.

In accordance with federal regulations and statutes, the FVPSA PPR reporting process for states, territories, tribes, coalitions, and discretionary grant recipients has not changed and the instructions listed in each form for completing and submitting PPR reports has not changed at all. FVPSA grant recipients are expected to use the same processes for reporting and submitting PPR reports to the FVPSA Program that they have used over the past 12 years.

Please note that the FVPSA Program only has one set of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA ) approved reporting forms for annual reporting from the states, tribes, and coalitions, OMB Approval Number: 0970-0280, Expiration Date: 05/31/2024. The FVPSA Program only has one ACF OMB PRA approved reporting form for discretionary grant recipients OMB Approval Number: 0970-0406 Expiration Date: 11/30/2022.  FVPSA grant recipients will not be required to make substantive changes to their reporting processes or procedures for one-time ARP supplemental funding.
