A new job aid is now available on the Federal Grant Management webpage. The resource is designed to help state agencies understand and comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) requirements for interagency agreements established under RCW 39.34. The job aid explains when FFATA reporting is required and offers practical steps for collecting and reporting federal subaward information.

Key Points:

  • Transfers of federal funds between state agencies are not considered reportable FFATA subawards.
  • FFATA reporting requirements may apply when federal funds are subsequently awarded to entities outside Washington State government.
  • Agencies should use notification clauses, standardized forms, and timely communication to help identify and report qualifying subawards.
  • Prime recipient agencies must coordinate with subrecipient state agencies to track and report qualifying lower tier subawards.
