<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>As you may know, the first quarterly
report under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) for the quarter
ended September 30 is due to the Governor’s Office on Wednesday, October
7. Some ARRA agencies have expressed concern about the timing of the
Monday, October 5 Datamart update. The Datamart is routinely refreshed each
Monday morning – which, in this instance, would leave only a few days to
finalize the ARRA financial information. </span></font><font color=blue><span

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:

challenges it would create if we shifted the weekly update to Friday, October
2, in lieu of the normal Datamart refresh scheduled for Monday, October
5. This would provide ARRA reporting agencies additional time to analyze
and compile the required financial information. </span></font><font
