The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law on February 17, 2009, as a way to, among other things, jumpstart the U.S. economy, create or save millions of jobs, spur technological advances in science and health, and invest in environmental protection activities. The Recovery Act will require agencies to implement an unprecedented level of transparency and accountability that will permit the American people to determine how and for what purpose their tax dollars are being spent. To assist Federal agencies with carrying out their Recovery Act responsibilities, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently issued guidance designed to meet crucial accountability objectives regarding the distribution of funds, transparency of agency efforts to the public, and achievement of program goals.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law on February 17, 2009, as a way to jumpstart the U.S. economy, create or save millions of jobs, spur technological advances in science and health, and invest in the Nation's energy future. This national effort will require an unprecedented level of transparency and accountability to ensure that U.S. citizens know where their tax dollars are going and how they are being spent. As part of the Recovery Act, the Department of Energy will receive more than $38 billion to support a number of science, energy, and environmental initiatives. Additionally, the Department's authority to make or guarantee energy-related loans has increased to about $127 billion. The Department plans to disburse the vast majority of the funds it receives through grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other financial instruments.
