All Federal Government projects, programs, services and activities that provide assistance and benefits to citizens are cataloged in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. All financial and non-financial assistance programs implemented through departments and establishments for the United States Federal government are recorded in the CFDA.
In 1984, Public Law 98-169 authorized the transfer of responsibilities of the Federal Program Information Act from the Office of Management and Budget to the General Services Administration. The transfer took place in July 1984. These responsibilities include the dissemination of Federal domestic assistance program information through the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, pursuant to the Federal Program Information Act, Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law 98-169.
Responsibility for the database of Federal assistance lies with the GSA. The OMB interfaces with the range of Federal agencies on behalf of the GSA delivering the required oversight to the program data related to domestic assistance.
The CFDA is the fundamental reference for all Federal programs. Its most important purpose is in assisting visitors in identification of programs that meet their specific requirements. The CFDA also is a great source of information on Federal assistance programs. The CFDA also seeks to enhance communications and improve coordination between State and Local governments and the Federal government.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance lets grant researchers investigate every domestic program managed by Federal agencies and departments in a single database. All information is cross referenced by functional classification, subject, applicant, deadline(s) for program application submission, and authorizing legislation. All of this information can be used as a valuable research tool, making it easier to identify specific areas of program interest more effectively.
Since its inception the GSA has produced a printed edition of the Catalog. Legislation dating back to 1977 required free dissemination of the Catalog to designated recipients. In 2003 the GSA distributed almost 10,000 copies of the Catalog.
New federal legislation provides discretion to the General Services Administration on how to maintain and distribute the Catalog. In keeping with the General Services Administration's Electronic-Government initiatives, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act the GSA now disseminates the CFDA electronically through the CFDA Website on the World Wide Web. As a result the GSA no longer prints or distributes free copies of the Catalog. - 22871
