Congress, concerned that some of these requirements may be duplicative, burdensome, or conflicting--and could impede cost-effective delivery of services--passed the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999, commonly called P.L. 106-107, and mandated that GAO assess the act's effectiveness. This report addresses (1) progress made to streamline and develop common processes for grantees and (2) the coordination among the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the agencies, and potential grant recipients. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-335/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-335.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-335/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-335.pdf GAO-05-335 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-335 Other Written Product GAO-05-335; Grants Management: Additional Actions Needed to Streamline and Simplify Processes; Electronic government Federal grants Federal law Government grants Grant administration Grant award procedures Interagency relations Internet Policy evaluation Program evaluation Policies and procedures Title 5 Appendix 2 5 U.S.C.
