The document provides guidance on the handling of personally identifiable information (PII) in reports related to the Single Audits of Recovery Act funding. It highlights the need to prevent the disclosure of PII while reviewing and sharing audit findings on the Recovery.gov website. The document acknowledges that there is currently no plan in place to respond to a potential Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the entire database of reports, while ensuring that PII remains protected.
To address this issue, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) can direct the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) to take proactive measures. These measures include notifying non-Federal entities, auditors, and federal agencies about the public availability of reports and their responsibility to exclude PII. The FAC website can incorporate appropriate notices to raise awareness, and computer-assisted techniques can be employed to screen reports for any potential inclusion of PII.
Additionally, the document provides detailed instructions on the transmission of various materials, such as major communications, formula block grant allocations, and weekly reports. It specifies the preferred format (Atom 1.0 or RSS) and the required URLs for posting these files. The document also offers a template for major communications and outlines the essential data elements for major communications and formula block grant allocation reports.
In summary, the PDF document addresses the importance of safeguarding PII in Single Audit reports, suggests measures to prevent its disclosure, and provides instructions for transmitting different types of materials related to Recovery Act funding.
