EPA Summary of OMB's December 18, 2009 Updated Guidance on Reporting of Job Estimates To be posted at http: / /www.epa.gov /recovery OMB issued Updated Guidance on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act --Data Quality, Non = Reporting Recipients, and Reporting of Job Estimates" (memorandum M- 10 -08) on December 18, 2009. Part 2 of this memorandum updates Section 5: Reporting on Jobs Creation.Estimates by Recipients (OMB memorandum M- 09 -21. June 22, 2009). The revised guidance is posted at htt : /hvm w.wbitehous'e. ov /omb /assets /m hn emoranda 2010 10 -08. df. Below are some of the key highlights and content of the guidance to assist EPA's recipients in estimating jobs created and retained. This summary does not include all of the issues raised in OMB's guidance and we recommend that recipients also review the full OMB memorandum. Because this new guidance modifies previous definitions and calculations, EPA has removed prior supplemental jobs guidance from this website. Key highlights The definitions of jobs created or retained have changed. Previous guidance required recipients to make a subjective judgment on whether a given job would have existed were it not for the Recovery Act. The updated guidance eliminates this subjective assessment and defines jobs created or retained as those funded by the Recovery Act. See sections 5.45.2 key principle #2, and 5.9 of OMB's guidance for more detail. The job estimate calculation has changed; recipients will now report job estimate totals by dividing the hours worked in the reporting quarter (i.e., the most recent quarter) by the full - time schedule hours in that quarter. Recipients will no longer be required to sum across multiple quarters of data as part of the FTE formula. See sections 5.1 and 5.3 of OMB's guidance for more detail. Effective February 2, 2010, FederalReporting.gov will be open for continuous corrections of data for the most recent quarter. Recipients will have the ability to make corrections up until the start of the next reporting period (e.g., Recipients will be able to make corrections until March 31, 2010 to data for the quarter ending December 31, 2009.) See sections 5. 2, key principle #12 and 5.10 of OMB's guidance for more detail. • For corrections to prior quarters, recipients shall maintain within their administrative records comprehensive information on any and all necessary corrections to prior quarter data. Recipients will be required, at a time and process to be specified in the future, to submit this information to the Federal government. • The clarifications in OMB's December 18 guidance are not retroactive to the quarter ending September 30, 2009. Any corrections to job estimate totals for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 should rely on the definition of jobs created or retained in the June 22, 2009 OMB Memorandum 09 -21. OMB's guidance includes: • 12 key principles for recipient estimates of jobs created and retained (section 5.2) • Methodology for estimating jobs created and retained with examples (section 5.3) Tote WMUIIer of Homes Wod-ad and Funded by Re=,ay Actwdh= Reporting QU,,t= Quietly Horns in a Full T=e ScLedale
