The purpose of this bulletin is to remind Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grantees of the reporting requirements for all active grants using the Transportation Electronic Award Management (TEAM) system.

Per FTA Circular 5010.1D – Grant Management Requirements (http://www.fta.dot.gov/legislation_law/12349_8640.html), Chapter III, Federal Financial Reports (FFRs) and Milestone Progress Report (MPRs) must be submitted within 30 days after the end of the reporting period. The reporting period for each individual grant is determined by:

1. Population of the area where the grantee is located, and
2. The FTA funding programs under which the grant was funded.

For example, a grantee is required to submit FFR and MPR on a QUARTERLY basis if
1. The grantee is located in an area 200,000 or more in population, or
2. The grant is a Section 5309 grant that includes construction of a facility, regardless of location and population, or
3. The grant is funded under or American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

A grantee is required to submit FFR and MPR ANNUALLY if
1. The grantee is located in an area under 200,000 in population, or
2. The grant is a State Administered Program grant, or
3. The grant is a planning grant.
