A hallmark of efforts to implement the $862 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) is to be transparent and accountable about how the money is being spent and what is being achieved. To help achieve these goals, recipients must report every 3 months on their award activities and expected outcomes, among other things. This information is available on Recovery.gov, the government's official Recovery Act website. This report covers 11 federal programs focused on broadband, energy, transportation, federal buildings, and civil works activities. It describes how the Office of Management and Budget and federal agencies implemented the act to report funds' uses and assesses the extent to which descriptions of awards meet transparency criteria. . In addition, the report provides information on 52 energy and infrastructure awards in states, including Florida, that are part of bimonthly reviews.
