Overview
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was enacted February 17, 2009. WIFA is expecting to receive approximately $26.5 Million for the Clean Water program and approximately $55 Million for the Drinking Water program. The purpose of the Act is to provide funds that will stimulate job creation through swift initiation of infrastructure projects. The Act authorizes WIFA to provide additional subsidization on loans. Projects that receive ARRA funds will need to be capable of moving forward very quickly and will have additional reporting requirements. You are strongly encouraged to read the Act which can be found at http://www.epa.gov/recovery/.

Tip Sheet for Registering with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) NOTE: ARRA calls for registering in the Central Contractor Registry (ccr.gov). This system is not solely for contractors, and all SRF sub-recipients (Borrowers) will need to register with CCR. They will need a DUNS number to do so. CCR will be used by OMB to cross reference sub-recipients with other government system data on those entities. For the SRF data system, your unique identifiers from those systems will be reporting elements.
