FIRST-TIME REPORTERS – You must register in order to report. Read Chapter 2 of the User Guide on the Downloads page for specific registration instructions.
RETURNING REPORTERS – It is important to read Chapter 10 of the User Guide on the Downloads page before you begin to report. Chapter 10 provides detailed instructions for Copy Forward which allows you to link a report from the previous reporting cycle to the current reporting cycle.
Your User ID to log on to FederalReporting.gov is the email address you provided when you registered.
Changing your Address in CCR: If your organization changes its Point of Contact information in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), you must allow 48 hours for the change to propagate to FederalReporting.gov. Be sure to make these changes 2 days prior to reporting. The FederalReporting.gov Point of Contact (POC) and address information is taken directly from CCR. When FederalReporting.gov receives the change from CCR, we'll email the FRPIN and temporary password to the POC User.
In order to report, you need to have the Federal Reporting Personal Identification Number (FRPIN) for your DUNS Number and your organization must be registered with Central Contractor Registration (CCR) if you are reporting as a prime recipient. If your organization is reporting as a sub-recipient, you must be registered with CCR or Dun & Bradstreet (D&B).
Much of the data you need to report should be on your award document such as the Award ID, awarding agency, CFDA number or Gov't. Contracting Office. Questions regarding your award document should be directed to your awarding agency. The Service Desk operators at FederalReporting.gov do not have access to your award document.
The Service Deck operators can't answer policy-related questions. These questions are referred to your awarding agency, OMB, or the Recovery Board.
