Section 7000.250  CSFA Maintenance

a)         State agencies must maintain the Catalog of State Financial Assistance (CSFA) as the State's single, authoritative, statewide comprehensive source of State financial assistance program information.

b)         State agencies must enter data into the CSFA as follows: 

1)         When federal, federal pass-through or State funds are received by the State agency;

2)         When awards are issued from the federal, federal pass-through or State funds; and

3)         When exceptions are given by GATU in writing on behalf of the Governor's Compliance Office for specific grant programs (see Section 7000.60).

c)         State agencies are encouraged to establish a data transmission from the State agency's grants management system to the CSFA to automate CSFA maintenance. The statewide Grant Management System will ultimately replace individual State agencies' grant management systems. GOMB's Information Technology Manager (OMB.helpdesk@illinois.gov) is the point of contact for the automated data transmission. 

d)         State agencies shall generate the NOFO based on CSFA data through the statewide Grant Management System. NOFOs are published on the public-facing CSFA, which is accessible through the GATA website (www.grants.illinois.gov).

e)         State agencies shall generate the NOSA from the CSFA, if required as described in Section 7000.360.
