<li>All subrecipients must report data this quarter, regardless of whether there is anything new to report. Since this is a very busy time of year, and many staff may be out of the office during the holidays, please report it as soon as possible.</li><li>The period of obligation for the ARRA IDEA grants ended on 9/30/11.</li><li>All subrecipient FTE (created and retained) should be reported as 0.00 since work performed during this quarter would be after the period of availability.</li><li>It is possible that subrecipients had additional vendor payments occurring during this quarter for obligations made prior to 10/1/11. It is necessary to report those payments in this reporting cycle.</li><li>If your agency reported infrastructure during the quarter ending 9/30/11, you would need to report the infrastructure during this quarter. It is cumulative, so the amount and description must be reported each quarter with any necessary upward adjustments
for vendor payments made during the current quarter.</li></ol>
