With the issuance of the Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2024 State Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VR) grant awards, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) added the following three reports, required under 2 C.F.R. § 200.330, to the Grant Award Notification (GAN) attachment titled Performance and Financial Reports (RSA-9):
- Real Property Status Report (Cover Page) (SF_429)
- Real Property Status Report Attachment A (General Reporting) (SF-429A); and
- Real Property Status Report Attachment C (Disposition or Encumbrance Request) (SF-429C)
The GAN attachment instructs awardees to use and submit the Real Property Status Report forms, beginning with the FFY 2024 grant awards, if VR program funds, program income, or non-Federal match funds were used to acquire, construct, or improve real property, thereby, giving the U.S. Department of Education a monetary Federal interest in that property.
For awardees that receive a carryover year, the first Real Property Status Reports will be submitted with the final FFY 2024 Vocational Rehabilitation Financial Report (RSA-17), which is due once the agency liquidates all financial obligations incurred under the Federal award, but no later than 120 calendar days after the end date of the period of performance (January 30, 2026) as specified in the terms and conditions of the Federal award.
Citation: 2 C.F.R. § 200.330 - Reporting on real property.
The Federal agency or pass-through entity must require the recipient or subrecipient to submit reports on the status of real property in which the Federal Government retains an interest. Such reports must be submitted at least annually. In instances where the Federal Government’s interest in the real property extends for 15 years or more, the Federal agency or pass-through entity may require the recipient or subrecipient to report at various multiyear frequencies. Reports submitted at multi-year frequencies may not exceed a five-year reporting period. The Federal agency must only require OMBapproved government-wide data elements on recipient real property reports.
