Subject: [RESADM-L] EPA - MBE/WBE Ulitization under Federal Grants, Coop.
Agreements & Interagency Agreements - form 5700-52A

> Our office is wrestling with the annual MBE/WBE forms required by EPA,
which
> are due the end of this month (as well as at close out).  Our current
> process entails staff in Sponsored Programs reviewing the EPA prime awards
> and any subcontracts with EPA flo through.  Based on this review, we
> complete all sections of the form except box 5d, "Actual MBE/WBE
Procurement
> Accomplished this Reporting Period," and Box 6, "Comments".  We then send
> the form with detailed instructions and a tip sheet to the Principal
> Investigators and request they work with their accounting staff to compile
> the information and fill out these two boxes.  They are instructed to then
> return the form to Sponsored Programs for signature and forwarding to EPA
> and/or institutions from which we have received subcontracts.
> We have recently met with the University Purchasing Department to
determine
> if completion of this form falls more in their realm than the PI obtaining
> the information.
> I welcome hearing from folks to know how other institutions handle this
> requirement.  Faculty frequently do not understand the intent of the form,
> how to compile the information, plus the data returned is often
> questionable.
