b. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.512(a)(1) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received from the auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period.
c. Effect of condition: The effect is that the project would not be considered a "Low Risk Auditee" for at least the fiscal years ending March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026.
