Title 31 — Money and Finance — § 6102. Program information requirements

Summary

Section 6102 of Title 31 of the U.S. Code requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to collect and review information on each domestic assistance program and provide it to the Administrator. For each program that covers its title, authorizing law, administering office and identifying number; its objectives, eligibility requirements and types of assistance; any formula governing eligibility or distribution; appropriations and average award amounts. A 2022 amendment, Pub. L. 117–219, added reporting on how programs use core-based statistical area delineations, and its notes record Congress's finding that updates to those delineations may disrupt federal services and funding. The pages, 516 to 519, also print the end of Executive Orders 12549 and 12689 on debarment and suspension and §§ 6102a and 6103.
