issued regulations at 29 CFR parts 1, 3,

and related Acts. Regulations in 29 CFR
5.5 instruct agencies concerning
application of the standard Davis-Bacon
contract clauses set forth in that section.
Federal agencies providing grants,
cooperative agreements, and loans
under the Recovery Act shall ensure
that the standard Davis-Bacon contract
clauses found in 29 CFR 5.5(a) are
incorporated in any resultant covered
contracts that are in excess of $2,000 for
construction, alteration or repair
(including painting and decorating).
(b) For additional guidance on the
wage rate requirements of section 1606,
contact your awarding agency.
Recipients of grants, cooperative

assisted project to the Federal agency
funding the project. The Secretary of
Labor retains final coverage authority
under Reorganization Plan Number 14.

all awards funded in whole or in part
with Recovery Act funds.
176.210 Award term-Recovery Act
Transactions listed in Schedule of
Expenditures of Federal Awards and
Recipient Responsibilities for Informing
Subrecipients.
The award term described in this
section shall be used by agencies to
clarify recipient responsibilities
regarding tracking and documenting
Recovery Act expenditures:
(a) To maximize the transparency and
accountability of funds authorized
under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-
5) (Recovery Act) as required by
Congress and in accordance with 2 CFR
215.21 "Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and
Agreements" and OMB Circular A-102
Common Rules provisions, recipients
agree to maintain records that identify
adequately the source and application of
Recovery Act funds. OMB Circular A-
102 is available at http://
www. whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/
al 02/al 02.html.
(b) For recipients covered by theSingle Audit Act Amendments of 1996
and OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-
Profit Organizations," recipients agree
to separately identify the expenditures
for Federal awards under the Recovery
Act on the Schedule of Expenditures of
Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data
Collection Form (SF-SAC) required by
OMB Circular A-133. OMB Circular A-
133 is available at http://
www. whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/
a133/a133.html. This shall be
accomplished by identifying
expenditures for Federal awards made
under the Recovery Act separately on
the SEFA, and as separate rows under
Item 9 of Part III on the SF-SAC by
CFDA number, and inclusion of the
prefix "ARRA-" in identifying the name
of the Federal program on the SEFA and
as the first characters in Item 9d of Part
III on the SF-SAC.
(c) Recipients agree to separately
identify to each subrecipient, and
document at the time of subaward and
at the time of disbursement of funds, the
Federal award number, CFDA number,
and amount of Recovery Act funds.
When a recipient awards Recovery Act
funds for an existing program, the
information furnished to subrecipients
shall distinguish the subawards of
incremental Recovery Act funds from
regular subawards under the existing
program.
(d) Recipients agree to require their
subrecipients to include on their SEFA
information to specifically identify
Recovery Act funding similar to the
requirements for the recipient SEFA
described above. This information is
needed to allow the recipient to
properly monitor subrecipient
expenditure of ARRA funds as well as
oversight by the Federal awarding
agencies, Offices of Inspector General
and the Government Accountability
Office.
