Treasury, Capital Projects Fund Project and Expenditure Report User Guide

Summary

Treasury's December 2022 user guide for Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CPF) Project and Expenditure (P&E) reports from states, territories and freely associated states, which report quarterly; Tribal Entities have a separate guide. Recipients must designate at least one individual for each of five roles, and only the CPF Authorized Representative can submit a report. The first quarterly P&E report was due October 31, 2022, covering all use of CPF funds from disbursement until September 30, 2022, including approved Pre-Award costs. The next, for October 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022, was due January 31, 2023, and a Performance report covering all performance until June 30, 2023 was due July 31, 2023. The cover page reads "Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund" under a "DRAFT- PRE-DECISIONAL / CONFIDENTIAL / NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION" banner.

                                        Project and Expenditure Report User Guide                                           ii
Section I. Reporting Basics
   a) Overview
   This User Guide provides information on using Treasury’s portal (portal) to submit the required
   Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CPF) Project and Expenditure (P&E) reports. This User
   Guide is applicable to States, Territories, and Freely Associated States, which are required to
   provide quarterly reports.
   This User Guide does not apply to Tribal Entities. A separate user guide for use by Tribal
   Entities is published on the CPF Recipient Compliance and Reporting Responsibilities
   webpage.
   This User Guide is a supplement to the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for States,
   Territories, and Freely Associated States (Compliance and Reporting Guidance), which contains
   information on reporting requirements. Please visit Treasury’s CPF webpage for the latest
   guidance and updates on programmatic and reporting topics.
   Each CPF recipient is required to submit periodic reports about each approved CPF Program,
   including current performance and financial information about the projects under each CPF
   Program. For purposes of this User Guide, project refers to an award to a recipient and a
   subaward to a subrecipient. Multiple projects can be linked to one subrecipient (for example, if
   an Internet Service Provider received multiple subawards).
   Questions about CPF’s reporting requirements should be submitted via email to
   CapitalProjectsFund@treasury.gov.
   b) Contents of this User Guide
   This User Guide contains detailed guidance and instructions for CPF recipients to submit
   quarterly P&E reports. Required reports must be submitted via the portal. This User Guide is not
   comprehensive and is meant to be used in conjunction with the Compliance and Reporting
   Guidance and other guidance posted to the CPF webpage.
   c) Designating Key Roles in Managing CPF Reports Role Designations
   At least one individual must be designated for each of the following five roles to manage the
   reporting process for their CPF award. The required roles are as follows:

      •   Account Administrator serves in the administrative role of maintaining the names of
          individuals who have been designated for roles in the portal. The Account Administrator
          is responsible for using the portal to provide the names of individuals designated to
          serve in the following roles: CPF Point of Contact for Reporting, Communications Only
          recipients, CPF Point of Contact for Submission, and CPF Authorized Representative.
          The Account Administrator is responsible for making any changes or updates to these
          designees over the award period. Finally, the Account Administrator is able to review
          and provide information for reports, but they are not able to submit a report (as noted
          below, the Authorized Representative is the only designee with authority to submit a
          report). Treasury recommends that the Account Administrator identify an additional
          individual to serve as the Account Administrator to provide continuity in the event of staff
          changes, vacations, or other scenarios.

•   Communications Only are individuals representing or related to recipients who do not
    need access to submissions or reports in the portal but do need to receive program
    communications. For example, a higher-level manager or executive overseeing a
    recipient’s implementation of one or more CARES/ARP program may neither need nor
    want access to the portal but does need to have a contact record in Salesforce, does
    need to be affiliated with certain CARES/ARP program(s) in the portal, and does need to
    receive certain program communications.
•   Point of Contact for Reporting acts as primary contact for receiving official Treasury
    notifications about CPF reporting including alerts about upcoming reporting,
    requirements, and deadlines. The Point of Contact for Reporting is responsible for
    completing the CPF reports, but the portal will not allow them to certify and submit the
    reports. More than one individual may be designated as a Point of Contact for Reporting.
•   Point of Contact for Submission can see and edit all records related to submission
    (application, grant/program plan(s), administrative fund changes, payment requests), but
    the portal will not allow them to certify and submit reports in the system. More than one
    individual may be designated as a Point of Contact for Submission.
•   Authorized Representative is responsible for certifying and submitting official reports
    on behalf of the CPF recipient. Treasury will accept reports or other official
    communications only when submitted by the Authorized Representative. The Authorized
    Representative is also responsible for communicating with Treasury on such matters as
    extension requests and amendments of previously submitted reports. The official reports
    may include special reports, monthly reports, quarterly reports, interim reports, and final
    reports. The Authorized Representative can see/edit/submit all reports, for both
    submission and reporting.

Some key items to note:

   •   Each designated individual must register with either Login.gov or ID.me to access the
       portal.
   •   If a designated individual has not previously registered an account, the designated
       individual should register through Login.gov. The following links include further
       instructions:

       access the portal through that method. The following link includes further instructions:
            o https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/TreasuryPortalRegInstructions.pdf
   •   An individual may be designated for multiple roles. For example, the individual
       designated as the Point of Contact for Reporting may also be designated as the
       Authorized Representative for Reporting.
   •   The same individual may be designated for all five roles.
   •   Multiple individuals can be designated for each role.
   •   An organization may make changes and updates to the list of designated individuals
       whenever needed. These changes must be processed by the Account Administrator.
   •   The designated individuals’ names and contact information will be pre-populated in the
       “Recipient Profile” portion of the recipient’s CPF reports, and users will be able to update
       the information, as necessary.
Please contact CapitalProjectsFund@treasury.gov for additional information on procedures for
registering an account.

Section II. Navigation and Logistics
   a) Login to Landing Page and Portal Navigation
   After logging into the portal, the landing page (see Figure 1) displays brief introductions related
   to Treasury programs available to the recipient, including State and Local Fiscal Recovery
   Funds, Emergency Rental Assistance, Homeowner Assistance Fund, CPF, and Local
   Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund.




                                           Figure 1 - Landing Page

                   Select either Compliance Reports on the left side panel of the screen or Go to
                  Your Compliance Reports on the bottom of the portal landing page to be taken to
                  the “My Compliance Reports” page (see Figure 2). Reports created or previously
                  submitted for any program by the user will be displayed on this screen and
                  grouped according to the Treasury program.

                Select the Quarterly P&E Report shown on screen for the correct reporting
               period, by clicking on the Provide Information blue pencil icon (see Figure 2).


The Navigation Bar (see Figure 3) on the left of the portal allows the user to
freely move between screens.
Helpful Tips/Shortcuts for Submitting Data to the Portal
The portal leads the user through a series of online forms that, when completed,
will fulfill the quarterly P&E reporting obligations. While navigating through the
portal and entering required information, users will have the option of manually
entering data directly into the portal or providing information via a bulk file upload
that includes all relevant information in a Treasury approved process and format.

       Manual Data Entry
       Manual data entry requires the user to provide inputs as instructed on the
       screen. Manual inputs are described in detail below for each section of
       this user guide. Note: An asterisk (*) indicates a required field. Entry into
       the field is required before saving or proceeding to the next screen.
       Inputs are validated by the portal to ensure that the data provided is
       consistent with expected format or description (e.g., entering 100 instead
       of “one hundred”). Manually entered data that does not satisfy the data
       validation rules is identified with an error message.

           •   Narrative Boxes
               Providing data using the manual data entry option will require          Figure 3 - Navigation
                                                                                       Bar
               using narrative boxes. When filling out detailed narratives, the
               user is encouraged to type out responses in a word processing
               application (such as Microsoft Word) to minimize grammatical errors, track word
               count, and concisely answer all required narrative details. The user can then
               copy and paste the final written narratives directly into the text boxes.
               The text boxes (see Figure 4) can be expanded by clicking and dragging the “//”
               icon in the bottom-right corner.

       Bulk File Upload Templates
       Bulk file templates can be used to provide required information in the tabs listed here:

            • Projects (both awards and subawards)
               ▪ Broadband Location Data
            • Subrecipients
       When using the bulk upload, users must provide the required information in specified
       formats and use the Treasury approved templates for each respective bulk upload.
       Templates are available on the Introductions/Bulk Templates screen.
       Please see Appendix A – Bulk File Upload Overview for complete guidance on using this
       function.
b) Data Corrections and Resubmissions
Reports may be edited and submitted at any time during the reporting window. After a
recipient’s submission has been certified and submitted in the system by the Authorized
Representative, it can be corrected in the portal by selecting the Unsubmit button. Reports may
be unsubmitted and resubmitted at any time before the reporting deadline (see Figure 5 for
reporting deadlines). See Section V for details on editing and revising data.

                                       Project and Expenditure Report User Guide                                     9
There are two types of CPF reporting requirements for States, Territories, and Freely
Associated States:
   • Project and Expenditure Report (P&E): A quarterly report to provide information on
     projects funded, obligations, expenditures, project status, outputs, performance
     indicators, and other information.
   • Performance Report: An annual report to provide information on and describe the
     outputs and outcomes of CPF Programs. Please see the CPF Recipient Compliance and
     Reporting Responsibilities webpage for additional information on the Performance
     Report.

b) Key Concepts for Reporting
Recipients are required to provide information regarding the projects awarded under each
approved Program Plan, including obligations, expenditures, project status, and use code
specific performance indicators. Recipients are also required to report on administrative funds
obligations and expenditures. The use code specific performance indicators and programmatic
data needs are determined by the approved Program Plan that the project is associated with.
A P&E report must be completed for all projects for which funds have been obligated during the
period covered and continue through all periods covered throughout the duration of the period of
performance. For example, if the project begins in November 2022, a recipient will submit the
first P&E report for that project on January 31, 2023 (Report 2) and continue submitting reports
through the end of the period of performance, with the final P&E report due March 31, 2027.
       Programs
   Each approved CPF Program is submitted as a Program Plan and is assigned one of four
   use codes:

         •   1A – Broadband Infrastructure
         •   1B – Digital Connectivity Technology
         •   1C – Multi-Purpose Community Facility
         •   2 – Case-by-Case Review

   Recipients may have more than one approved CPF Program Plan aligned to a single use
   code (e.g., two CPF Programs that are coded as 1A – Broadband Infrastructure). Each
   approved CPF Program can only align to a single use code (e.g., a CPF Program cannot be
   both 1A – Broadband Infrastructure and 1C – Multi-Purpose Community Facility).

   P&E reports are to be completed for each project. Each project is assigned to an approved
   CPF Program (see Figure 6). Each project can only be assigned to a single approved CPF
   Program, and will take on the same use code as the approved CPF Program. The use code
   of the approved CPF Program will dictate the use code specific performance indicators and
   programmatic data that must be submitted for all associated projects.

*Program Administrative Expenses do not need to be broken down at the Project Level, and instead should be
reported in the aggregate.

        Projects

    A project is defined as a group of closely related activities that together are intended to
    achieve a specific goal or are directed toward a common purpose. As noted above, each
    project is assigned to a single CPF Program, though CPF Programs can include more than
    one project.

       • Activities in a project can include new or existing services, funded in whole or in part
         by the CPF award.
       • Recipients are required to report on projects included in each approved CPF Program,
         beginning after a project has been selected and a subaward has been executed (if
         applicable). Note: Projects do not need to be entered until obligations/subawards have
         been incurred. If no obligations have yet been incurred and/or no subwards have yet
         been executed, projects do not need to be entered.
       • Recipients are required to define projects at a sufficient level of granularity to be able
         to do any programmatic reporting that is required.
       • For each project, recipients are asked to select the associated approved CPF Program.
         Each project must be assigned to one CPF Program.
       • For each project, recipients must identify the subrecipient. For direct implementation
         projects, enter the administering agency as the subrecipient.
       • For each project, recipients need to track and report obligations and expenditures.

    Relationship Between Portal Components

When entering project information, it is important to understand how the separate
components of information relate to each other. The portal is organized by tabs shown on
the left-hand side of the screen (see Figure 3). Initial entry of information/data should be
completed in sequential order (top to bottom) in the order the tabs appear in the left menu,
to reduce errors or data issues. Each of these tabs are linked to prior tabs. After initial entry
of information, users can go directly to any tab to update and edit information throughout the
life of the project.

   Relationship Between Projects and Subrecipients

A Program Plan will be comprised of one or more projects. Recipients should report on each
project separately. Each project must be linked to one subrecipient (for example, if the
recipient is administering a competitive grant program (the Program), the subrecipient would
be the entity to which funds were subawarded, for example, an ISP).

As noted previously,a project may refer to an award to a recipient or a subaward to a
subrecipient. Multiple projects can be linked to one subrecipient (for example, if an Internet
Service Provider received subawards for more than one project). Each subaward to a
subrecipient should be entered as a separate project (i.e., Subrecipient 2 in Figure 7).

If the recipient is directly implementing a project, there may be instances where there is no
subrecipient. Recipients should enter the agency administering the project as the
Subrecipient in the portal.


For example, Recipient A (e.g., a State)
has one approved CPF Program for 1A –
Broadband Infrastructure. In
implementing the approved 1A Program,
Recipient A competitively selected and
made subawards for four projects: Project
A, Project B, Project C, and Project D.
Project A will be completed by
Subrecipient 1, Projects B and C will be
completed by Subrecipient 2, and Project
D will be completed by Subrecipient 3. When
completing reporting for the 1A Program,
Recipient A will enter four separate projects into
the portal. Please see Figure 7 for a depiction of
this example.                                              Figure 7 - Example relationship between Program
                                                           Plans, Subrecipients, and Projects

Section IV.       Project and Expenditure Report
The P&E report provides information on projects funded, subrecipients, subawards, and other
information required from recipients. Multiple tabs navigate through the P&E report in the portal as
follows:
       •   Introduction/Bulk Upload Templates
       •   Recipient Profile
       •   Programs
       •   Subrecipients
       •   Projects (including subawards)
       •   Program Administrative Expenses
       •   Certification
   a) Introduction and Bulk Upload Templates
   The Introduction/Bulk Upload Templates tab acts as a central location to download any or all of
   the relevant bulk upload templates from the system (see Figure 8).
   Beginning in Q1 2024, there is a new Bulk Upload option for Subrecipients, Projects, and
   Broadband Location Data. Recipients may continue to use the legacy Bulk Upload option, but
   Treasury encourages the use of the updated Bulk Upload option. For more information on the
   new Bulk Upload process, see Appendix A – Bulk File Upload Overview.

   For project data, the newly added excel version of the Bulk Upload Templates includes separate
   tabs that were previously separate files in one document. This allows for 10,000 max records to
   be uploaded in one file. For broadband location data, one bulk upload file will need to be
   completed per project.

   Note: The newly added excel versions of the Bulk Upload Templates will download in the .xlsx
   format and should be uploaded in the .xlsx format. Previous versions of the bulk file template
   files were downloaded in the .xlsx format, but these files must be converted to .csv format to
   properly upload. As indicated above, the previous .csv files will still be available for use.

b) Recipient Profile
   Upon login, the user will be directed to the Recipient Profile tab. The Recipient Profile tab
   verifies relevant information about the recipient currently stored in the portal. On this tab,
   users should review and confirm key information about the recipient that has been provided
   to Treasury through other CPF-related activities, such as the CPF application.

               Review and confirm the recipient information prepopulated from the CPF
              application file (see Figure 9).

               If any of the information is incorrect, use the text box to report discrepancies.
              Information on this screen can only be modified by Treasury personnel.

               Once all fields have been reviewed and verified, click the Save Information
              button to save, then click the Next button to proceed to the following tab.

c) Programs
  This tab displays the recipient’s approved CPF Program information and displays the
  Program Plan Number, Program Use Code, Project ID, Project Name, Total Obligations,
  Total Expenditures, and P&E Report Status (see Figure 10) for each approved CPF
  Program. For example, if the recipient submitted and received approval from Treasury for
  two Program Plans, this table will have two lines: one for each approved CPF Program.
  As information on projects for each CPF Program is entered in the portal, the Program Plan
  Information table will populate with relevant and applicable information. For example, Total
  Obligations and Total Expenditures are auto calculated to sum the amounts entered into
  each project entry screen for projects associated with each CPF Program. The Program
  Status indicator will show a green check icon when reporting requirements for all projects
  associated with a CPF Program have been completed.

d) Subrecipients
   The Subrecipient tab allows users to enter the required information about each subrecipient
   that has received at least one subaward of federal funding to execute projects supporting
   the CPF Program. Entry of subrecipient information requires the following information (see
   Figure 11). For bulk upload instructions specific to this tab, see Appendix A.

              Note: Subrecipient entry must be completed prior to beginning the data
              entry for the Projects module.

      Step 1) Enter the following about each subrecipient:
                • Unique Entity Identifier
                • Tax ID Number (TIN or EIN)
                • Name
                • POC Name
                • POC Phone Number
                • POC Email Address

e) Projects
   Recipients are required to enter all projects funded with CPF funds as part of their P&E
   report. Recipients are required to report on all projects included in each approved CPF
   Program, beginning after a project has been selected and a subaward has been executed (if
   applicable). For direct implementation projects, Recipients are required to report on projects
   following the approval of the program plan. Once projects are entered, they are viewable in
   the My Projects table and can be updated in future reporting periods (see Figure 13).
   Note: Projects do not need to be entered until obligations/subawards have been incurred. If
   no obligations have yet been incurred and/or no subwards have yet been executed, projects
   do not need to be entered.
   The My Projects table displays the following for each project entered: Project Name,
   Recipient Project ID, Program Plan Number, Total Obligations, Total Expenditures, Use
   Code, and Project Status. Total obligation and total expenditure amounts are summed from
   project information entered on the project entry screens. To go directly to a project to edit or
   add information, click the blue pencil icon.

       For Project Status, the green check icon indicates all required fields have been
   answered, including programmatic data, and one subrecipient is linked to the project or
   subaward, if applicable.


       For Project Status, the red x icon indicates that not all required fields have been
   answered or a subrecipient has not been linked to the project.
   To add a new project from this screen, click the Add Project button. Refreshing the browser
   screen may be necessary to see new entries.

1) Key Considerations
The following considerations should be kept in mind when planning and entering project
data:

    •   All projects require a set of “standard” data fields. Some of these fields, such as
        Project Name and Recipient Project ID, are static and do not change across
        reporting periods; this means once these fields are entered during the initial creation
        of the project in the reporting system, this field will not need to be filled out again in
        future reports. Other fields, such as Status of Completion and Cumulative
        Expenditures, will require updates and/or new information in each P&E report.
        Note: Please review and update these fields on a quarterly basis.

    •   There are two ways to enter and update project information – manual data entry
        and bulk upload. Bulk upload templates are specific to the CPF Program’s use
        code. Users may upload information for multiple projects within the Use Code
        template simultaneously. Appendix A provides step by step instructions for using
        the bulk upload options. Note: Due to the different data collected across use codes,
        bulk upload templates are unique and cannot be used on other use codes.

Adding a New Project Manually
The General Project Information tab displays the project information. This tab is the same for
all use codes.
  Step 1) Select the CPF Program from the picklist (see Figure 14 and Figure 15).

  Step 2) Enter the project name.

  Step 3) Enter a unique project identification number assigned to the project. This number
          is determined by the recipient. Each project must have a unique number; do not
          use duplicate project numbers for multiple projects. Note: This applies across
          use codes. For example, if the recipient enters a 1A project with the identification
          number CPF123, they should not also use the number CPF123 for a 1C project.

  Step 4) Select a subrecipient from the picklist. Note: Every project must have a
          subrecipient. Subrecipients should be entered before entering project data.

  Step 5) Provide a 3-5 sentence description of the project, including an overview of the
          project’s purpose, and major activities.

           For projects with the Use Code 1A, recipients should also provide a complete
           list of counties where households, businesses, and community anchor institutions
           that are to be served by the broadband project are located.

  Step 6) Select the type of owner for the capital asset from the drop-down list. Options
          are:
              • Private
              • State Government
              • Municipal or Township Government
              • County Government
              • Tribal Government
              • Co-operative
              • Other (e.g., Public Private Partnership, Non-Profit, other structure, etc.)

  Step 7) If Other is selected, provide additional details and/or a narrative description of the
          capital asset ownership type.

  Step 8) Provide the total amount of CPF funding budgeted for the project.

  Step 9) Provide total amount budgeted for the project from all funding sources, including
          but not limited to, non-CPF federal funding sources and private funding sources.
          Note that this number should include the CPF funding as well.

 Step 10) The following information pertains to additional federal funding sources used for
          the project, if applicable.
              • Is CPF funding used in conjunction with other federal funding? Select
                  Yes or No

                      o     If Yes,
                           ▪ Provide the Program Name and Assistance Listing number of
                                the other program(s) providing federal funding.
                           ▪ Provide the amount of the other federal funding obligated (by
                                Assistance listing).
                           ▪ Is the other federal funding subject to the requirements of the
                                Davis-Bacon Act? Select Yes or No.

Step 11) Enter the total dollar value of the following as they relate to CPF project costs
         incurred by the recipient (no administrative costs should be included in project
         submissions; administrative costs should be accounted for on a subsequent tab
         at the grant level). Please note that these entries should include obligations
         and expenditures of CPF funds only, and should not include amounts from
         other funding sources. If CPF funds have not been obligated or expended
         during the current reporting period, enter “0” in the respective “Current Period”
         fields. Note: please ensure that Current Period Obligations/Expenditures are less
         than or equal to Cumulative Obligations/Expenditures for each project. The portal
         will otherwise return an error.
              • Current Period Obligations
                     o Obligations incurred within the current report quarter
              • Cumulative Obligations
                     o All obligations incurred from award date through the end of the
                         report quarter (including current period obligations)
              • Current Period Expenditure
                     o Expenditures incurred within the current report quarter
              • Cumulative Expenditure

           Figure 19 - Upload Location Data for Broadband Infrastructure Projects

  For projects marked as “Complete”, for each location served by a funded project, the
  recipient must update the information below to include the following (please see
  Appendix C for further details on these fields).

          •   Speed and latency at the location post-CPF investment
                   • Maximum download speed delivered
                   • Maximum upload speed delivered
                   • Latency delivered
          •   Additionally, the update should add any locations that were not included
              in the initial data submission and received service as a result of the
              project and remove locations that were planned but were removed from
              the final project scope.

Speed and Latency To ensure broadband infrastructure investments meet CPF requirements to
deliver service that reliably meets or exceeds symmetrical download and upload speeds of 100
Mbps and to promote consistency across federal agencies, Treasury accepts reporting of speed and
latency measurements conducted using testing standards and protocols consistent with those
established and used by the Federal Communications Commission in multiple contexts, including
the Connect America Fund (CAF) and the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF), or those
established and used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in multiple contexts, including the
ReConnect program.

In addition to demonstrating that the speed requirements are met, network latency measurements
during testing windows should fall at or below 100 milliseconds round-trip time. This approach ensures
a connection that supports reasonably foreseeable real-time applications.

    For Program Plans submitted for Case-by-Case Review, Treasury will work with recipients
    to develop metrics and performance measures for the Program Plan and associated
    projects. As one component of their submission, recipients will be asked to provide
    proposed metrics and performance measures for review by Treasury. Performance
    indicators proposed should include both output and outcome measures. Recipients are
    encouraged to use logic models2 to identify their output and outcome measures. All
    proposed metrics and measures are subject to final review and approval by Treasury.


         Step 1) Upload a file consistent with the metrics and performance measures agreed
                upon for the recipient’s specific case-by-case review. Note: An updated file
                should be uploaded every quarter until the project is in “Completed” status.

f) Program Administrative Expenses
Recipients are required to report on program administrative expenses in the aggregate (see
Error! Reference source not found.4). Program administrative expenses do not need to be
broken down at the Project level. Program administrative expenses mean the costs of
administering the CPF grant funding by a recipient, providing technical assistance to potential
subrecipients, and costs related to complying with grant administration and audit requirements,
including both direct and indirect administrative costs. The data provided in this section should
reflect the sum of all program administrative expenses incurred by the recipient related to
administration of the CPF grant.
         Obligations
         Step 1) The cumulative obligations reported in the prior quarter’s report will be
                automatically rolled over into the current quarter’s report.
         Step 2) Enter the obligations incurred during the current reporting period only.
         Step 3) The updated cumulative obligations will calculate automatically. You will be
                asked to confirm this number is accurate. If this number matches your records,
                select Yes. If there is a discrepancy, select No.
         Step 4) If you selected Yes in Step 3, no further action required.

Section V.     Editing and Revising Your Data
This section provides instructions for providing updates and revisions to information submitted
as part of previous Project and Expenditure Reports. Please note that unless initiated by
Treasury staff, users will not have the ability to make any edits to submitted reports after the
reporting deadline. All edits or changes must be reflected in the next available report.
Projects entered into the system can be edited or deleted before final submission. To edit a
project, open the project from the My Projects screen. To delete a project, use the Delete
Project Button (pink trash can icon) (see Figure 29). Users may edit project information prior to
the submission deadline. If a report is already submitted, users will need to un-submit the report
to edit or delete a project record, and may do so until the due date of the report.




                               Figure 29 - Edit and Delete Project Screen

There are two ways to edit Project and Expenditure Report data:
   • Manual Entry – using the portal’s web-based forms to edit or change fields individually.
   • Bulk Upload – using the bulk upload functionality in the different report modules to
       upload a file that updates many different existing records at one time.


a) Manual Entry
   1) Projects
         a. To edit data on the Project Overview page, click on the blue pencil icon. Doing so
             will open the “Edit Project” window (see Error! Reference source not found.30)
             where edits or changes can be entered into the available fields. Click the Save
             Information button for the edits to be accepted.

       b. To remove projects that have been created during the current reporting cycle, click
          the trash can icon button in the “Edit Project” window (see Error! Reference source
          not found.).




                                 Figure 31 - Edit or Remove a Project

       Note: Projects submitted as part of prior reports cannot be deleted. In order to
       remove CPF funding from a previously reported project: Change the project status
       to “Cancelled” and edit the project’s Total Cumulative Obligations and Total
       Cumulative Expenditures to be $0.00. If reporting a cancelled project, contact
       your CPF point of contact for further instructions prior to submission.

   2) Subrecipient
Subrecipient information can be edited or removed by clicking on the appropriate icon (see
Error! Reference source not found.32).

b) Bulk Upload
Similar to uploading new data in bulk (as described in Appendix A), editing multiple records at
one time may be done by using the bulk upload templates for the Projects and Broadband
Location Data screens. At this time, the records in the Subrecipients module must be updated
manually.
The steps to make these edits using bulk upload templates are as follows:
       Step 1) Populate the identifier field in the relevant bulk upload template for the records to
              be edited. Make sure that in each template the identifiers correspond with
              records that currently exist in the system. Use the “Download as CSV” function
              below in every module to easily view the recipient’s record’s identifiers in Excel.
              The unique identifier for each module is as follows:
                  • Project Overview: “Project ID”, “Subrecipient”, “Subrecipient UEI”, and
                     “Subrecipient TIN”

       Step 2) Once the identifier is populated for the records to be edited, fill in the rest of
              template for both fields that are being edited, and fields that are not changing.

               IMPORTANT: Editing with bulk upload replaces data in the entire record, not just
               the fields to be edited. If fields are left blank in the upload template, they will be
               flagged as errors or remain blank in the system.

       Step 3) Validate data to ensure it is accurate and can be uploaded. After completing the
              bulk upload template that includes edits, upload the file as shown on screen. The
              instructions are as described in Appendix A.

       Step 4) After uploading edits, verify records within the portal to ensure data was
              uploaded correctly. Edits can subsequently be made manually as well if
              additional changes need to be made.

Appendix A – Bulk File Upload Overview
a) Purpose
This Appendix provides an overview of the bulk file upload process. The five bulk file upload
templates are listed below. The data requirements for each template can be found in Appendix
B.
    • Subrecipient Template
    • 1A Broadband Infrastructure Template
           o Broadband Location Data Template
    • 1B Digital Connectivity Technology Template
    • 1C Multi-Purpose Community Template


b) Template Description
Each of the bulk file upload templates contains instructions on how to populate the respective
fields within each file. When adding content to each template, follow the “help” text cells, which
will provide what is and is not permitted for each cell. All templates have the same structure as
described below:
       Row 1: Template Version
       Row 2: Template Name
       Row 3: Instructions: Brief description of the template constraints.
       Row 4: Field ID: System identifier for field
       Row 5: Required, Optional, or Conditional status: This row specifies if the field is
       required, optional, or conditional. When the column is required and data is not provided,
       the system will not allow the file data to be uploaded successfully. Optional fields may be
       left blank. Conditional fields become required depending on the entry of other fields.
       Row 6: Field Name: Common name of field
       Row 7: Field Help Text: Provides a description of the field. There are 2 types of fields: 1)
       an open value either text or numbers and 2) a picklist, which is a predefined list of
       values:

           •   Open Value: Any text, number, or currency field. Text for recipient name or a
               number that represents amounts. Most text types are free formats, the only
               expectation is for dates, each column that represents a date describes the
               accepted format. For any number field, it is not required to add “,” to represent
               thousands and it is not required to add “$” to represent currency. Only add
               decimal “.” when needed.
           •   Pick List: A picklist is predefined list of values that is accepted by the system.
               When the column is a pick list, row 7 provides the list of options that the system
               accepts. The picklist entry in the field must match exactly with the picklist value. If
               the respondent provides a value that is not in the predefined pick list, the system
               will not accept the file and will flag as an error. Responses should not contain
               quotation marks.

       Row 8: Submitted data. Row 8 is the beginning of submitted data entry. The system
       accepts 1 or many rows.
              Note: Do not change the content of rows 1 through 7.


c) Bulk Upload Process
There are two options for the bulk upload process. Beginning on the Q1 2024 P&E Report,
Recipients may use either option to bulk upload Subrecipient, Project, and Broadband Location
Data. For project data, the newly added excel version of the Bulk Upload Templates includes
separate tabs for each use code (i.e. Broadband Infrastructure, Digital Connectivity Technology,
and Multipurpose Community Facilities) that were previously separate files in one document. This
allows for 10,000 max records to be uploaded in one file.
Directions for both the new and legacy bulk upload processes are outlined below.

                             Project and Expenditure Report User Guide                      43
Tabs accepting bulk upload files are clearly marked in the portal and identified in this user guide.
The template for each upload file is available on the Introduction/Bulk Templates tab for download
and in the subsequent data entry tabs (see and 34).

Step 13) Click Validate to have the system verify the bulk upload does not have errors.

Step 14) If the system validation does not find any errors in the bulk upload, it will return a
         successful screen (see Error! Reference source not found.40).




                         Figure 40 - Successful Bulk Upload Example

  Step 15) If the system validation finds errors in the bulk upload, it will return the screen
           with the list of errors. Update on screen by manually typing in the corrections in
           the value column or correct the error in the file and re-upload the corrected bulk
           upload file.
  There are four common Bulk File Upload errors as described below:

  •   Blank Required Data: When a required field is left blank within the bulk upload file,
      the specific bulk upload file row and cell number is provided on the screen. In the
      example below, “Identification Number” was blank, and the error is located in Column
      C, Row 8 (see Error! Reference source not found.41).

                         Project and Expenditure Report User Guide                          47
•   Invalid Data: Invalid data includes any type of data (numeric or text) that does not
    meet the requirements set forth in the Help Text within each bulk upload template. In
    the example below, an error pertaining to the “Capital Asset Ownership Type” was
    made and the error is located in Column E, Row 8 (see Error! Reference source not
    found.).




                               Figure 42 - Invalid Data Error

•   Duplicate Data: Duplicate data includes any type of data (numeric or text) that is
    repeated in the same column when the Help Text within a bulk upload template
    requires a unique entry. For example, unique numbers should be provided for the UEI
    in the Subrecipient template. In the example below, an error pertaining to the “Unique
    Entity Identifier” was made and the error is in Column D, Row 8 (see Error! Reference
    source not found.).




                             Figure 43 - Duplicate Data Error

•   Non-existent Reference: This instance would include uploading data that
    references other records that do not yet exist or have not been previously uploaded
    into the portal. For example, uploading a project template that is filled out correctly,
    but references subrecipient identification (ID) records that have not been uploaded to
    the Subrecipient tab. This will result in an error and any pre-requisite data must be
    uploaded first in order for the reference to work (see Error! Reference source not
    found.44).

Step 16) In cases when it may be preferable to work from a master list of errors, click the
         Download – Export Errors link, highlighted in the red box in Error! Reference
         source not found., to download a spreadsheet detailing all errors in the bulk

                 check for errors.




                                 Figure 45 - Listing of Bulk Upload Errors

       Step 17) If the system validates that the bulk upload has no errors, it will return the
                option to Import (see Error! Reference source not found.). Click the Import
                button.




                                    Figure 46 - Bulk Upload Creation

       Step 18) Once created, the recipient’s records will show at the bottom of the relevant
                screen.
d) Bulk Upload Creation Steps

       The collective bulk file upload process is contingent upon users following the below
       steps to ensure successful submission.

                      Note: All data submitted via the legacy bulk upload
                        functionality must be sbmitted as a .CSV file.

e) CSV Guidance

Refer to the following link for descriptions of the CSV format.
       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values




                                  Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund:

                              Project and Expenditure Report User Guide                         49
f) Specific CSV characteristics

      •   The date format is: MM/DD/YYYY. Example:
               a. 06/22/2022
      •   All currency values are numeric. It is not required to add “,” for thousand or millions.
      •   Do not include a “$” sign for currency values. The file will be rejected if a “$” is
          included in the data entry.
      •   Once the excel spreadsheet has been saved as a .csv file, do not re-open the file.
          Re-opening the file will cause excel to possible revert to an .xls type file and leading
          zeros or other issues may occur.

g) Upload Template Description

      Each data element and/or column in the CSV files is described below:

             •   Index No: Reference number for the data element. For internal use only.
             •   Defined term: Column short description.
             •   Definition: Column long description or definition.
             •   CSV Column Name: The column header name that must be used in the CSV
                 file.
             •   Required: Indicates if the column is required or not required.
             •   List Value: The content of the column is from a list of predefined values. This
                 is valid for some of the columns. The list is provided for all cases. Most of the
                 cases is N/A which means that the type is ether String or Numeric.
             •   Data type: Specify the data type of the column. The options are: Numeric,
                 Text, Date and Pick List.
             •   Max Length: Indicates the maximum length in characters that is allowed for
                 each column.

When working with the bulk upload location data, there are several key considerations to help
make the process run more smoothly:

   •   Use the Correct Template: To provide better data quality, Treasury updated the
       template for bulk uploads starting with the 2023 Q3 report (found here). Using the older
       template will produce errors from the upload. As of Q1 2024, Recipients also have the
       option to use the newly added excel version of the Bulk Upload Templates.
   •   One File Per Project: Each project should have a single bulk upload with all the
       locations associated with that project. Each 1A project will need to have its own upload
       for the location data associated with that upload. Uploading all location data in a single
       file for multiple projects can lead to overflow problems, making the upload time out.
   •   Ensure that all required fields are included: Make sure that every required field has
       correct data in it. Some fields will be conditionally required based on project status,
       technology type, or location type. Please ensure that such fields are included.
When updating location data reported in previous quarters (including reporting the maximum
upload and download speed delivered and latency fields required for completed projects), there
are several key considerations to help make the process run more smoothly:

   •   Download existing location data: Download data that was uploaded in previous
       reporting periods. This will provide a complete list of all locations associated with the
       project and a system-assigned location identifier, which allows records to be edited and
       updated.

   •    Void locations: If locations are no longer part of the project or were previously reported
        in error, set the status to void. This will remove the locations from the project’s location
        list.
   •    Reupload edited data: Save the downloaded and edited file as a .csv and reupload it in
        the portal. This will update the existing location records.

Appendix D – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What are the definitison for classifying each location type?

    The definitions for each location type, including housing units, can be found below:

    Residential Location: A residential location is defined by the FCC as a location that is or
    contains “housing units” or “group quarters” based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s definition of
    these terms.3 For all locations identified as “residential,” the recipient must also document
    the total number of “housing units” at that location.

       Housing Unit: A housing unit is defined by the Census Bureau as a house, an apartment,
       a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is
       intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those
       in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other persons in the building
       and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall.


    Business Location: A business location is defined as a non-residential structure on a
    property without residential locations that would expect to demand internet access services.4

    Community Anchor Institution: A community anchor institution means an entity, such as a

4) Who is authorized to designate the Account Administrator, Communications Only, the
   Point of Contact for Reporting, Point of Contact for Submission, and the Authorized
   Representative for Reporting for my organization’s CPF’s award?
   Treasury requests that each CPF recipient follow its own decision-making procedures in
   making the five designations for each award.
5) What is the deadline for making the designation?
   Treasury requests that recipients make designations as soon as possible to enable the
   recipient to submit required reports.
6) What are the responsibilities for each of the five designated roles?
   The required roles are as follows:

      •   Account Administrator serves in the administrative role of maintaining the names
          of individuals who have been designated for roles in the portal. The Account
          Administrator is responsible for using the portal to provide the names of individuals
          designated as the CPF Point of Contact for Reporting, CPF Point of Contact for
          Submission and the CPF Authorized Representative. The Account Administrator is
          responsible for making any changes or updates to these designees over the award
          period. Finally, the Account Administrator is able to review and provide information
          for reports, but they are not able to submit a report (as noted below, the Authorized
          Representative is the only designee with authority to submit a report). Treasury
          recommends that the Account Administrator identify an additional individual to serve
          as the Account Administrator to provide continuity in the event of staff changes,
          vacations, or other scenarios.
      •   Communications Only are individuals representing or related to program
          participants who do not need access to submissions or reports in the portal but do
          need to receive program communications. For example, a higher-level manager or
          executive overseeing a recipient’s implementation of one or more particular
          CARES/ARP programs may neither need nor want access to the portal but does
          need to have a Contact record in Salesforce, does need to be affiliated with certain
          CARES/ARP program(s), and does need to receive certain program
          communications.
      •   Point of Contact for Reporting acts as primary contact for receiving official
          Treasury notifications about CPF reporting including alerts about upcoming reporting,
          requirements, and deadlines. The Point of Contact for Reporting is responsible for
          completing the CPF reports, but the portal will not allow them to certify and submit
          the reports. More than one individual may be designated as a Point of Contact for
          Reporting.
      •   Point of Contact for Submission can see and edit all records related to submission
          (application, grant/program plan(s), admin fund changes, payment requests), but the
          portal will not allow them to certify and submit reports in the system. More than one
          individual may be designated as a Point of Contact for Submission.
      •   Authorized Representative is responsible for certifying and submitting official
          reports on behalf of the CPF recipient. Treasury will accept reports or other official
          communications only when submitted by the Authorized Representative. The

          Authorized Representative is also responsible for communications with Treasury on
          such matters as extension requests and amendments of previously submitted
          reports. The official reports may include special reports, monthly reports, quarterly
          reports, interim reports, and final reports. The Authorized Representative can
          see/edit/submit all reports, for both submission and reporting.

7) May one individual be designated for multiple roles?
   Yes, an individual may be designated for multiple roles. For example, the individual
   designated as the Account Administrator can also be designated as the Authorized
   Representative for Reporting or Point of Contact for Reporting. It is also acceptable to
   designate one individual for all five roles though Treasury recommends at least two
   individuals be assigned the account administrator role, where practicable.
8) May user designations change from time to time?
   Yes, the Account Administrator is able to make changes and updates to the list of
   designated individuals whenever needed.
9) Must each of the designated individuals register for using portal?
   Yes, anyone designated for any of the roles must register with ID.me or Login.gov before
   they will be given access to the portal. Please contact CapitalProjectsFund@treasury.gov
   for more information and guidance on registering with ID.me or Login.gov. If the individual
   has already registered with ID.me, they do not have to register with Login.gov to access
   reports.
