Release Notes - DATA Act
The Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act, Public Law 113-101) was implemented to strengthen transparency reporting for the Federal Government as required by the Federal Funding and Accountability Transparency Act (FFATA). Under the DATA Act, Federal agencies associate data elements in agency financial systems with a unique award identification number (Award ID) to facilitate the effective linkage of information. Required data is collected, retained, and updated in accordance with the prescribed tenants of the Act.
