Finding Text

Quarterly Performance Reports and Form SF‐425 & Late filing of reports required by FAA regulations Condition: During our audit procedures we identified the following instances: a. We identified one (1) instance in which the annual form SF‐425 for Grant 3‐72‐0008‐019‐2021 was due December 31, 2022, but was submitted on March 30, 2023. b. In four (4) instances, Forms FAA 5100‐126 and FAA 5100‐127 which applies for seven (7) of the nine (9) airports, and had a due date of October 31, 2022, were filed on February 9, 2023.

Corrective Action Plan

During 2023, the FFMO, in coordination with the Engineering Bureau, created and implemented an automated scheduling reminder system using MS Outlook. This system alerts all those responsible to turn in their reports (FFR & MPR) five (5) days prior to the period end, and on the day the quarter ends. This implementation, together with continuous monitoring of the FFMO personnel, should eliminate this situation.
