Project Directors - Please forward to your grants/finance office. Thank you.
All grantees and payees who receive payments from ED must have their DUNS and TIN numbers registered in CCR, the U.S. Federal Government's primary registrant database, before March 31, 2010. (I apologize if this is a duplicate of other notices you've received on this topic.) In April 2010, ED's Grants Management System (G5) will begin disbursing payments via the U.S. Department of Treasury rather than directly through the Federal Reserve as in the past. Registration is required of the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). As a result, all grantees and payees who receive payments from ED must have their DUNS and TIN numbers registered in CCR, the U.S. Federal Government's primary registrant database, before March 31, 2010. A CCR for Grantees Webinar was conducted by ED's OCIO/Financial Systems Services (FSS) on March 4, 2010, to prepare grantees and payees on the new requirements to register their DUNS and TIN with the CCR database. A recording of the webinar is available and instructions for accessing the CCR Webinar can be found under "News and Events" on the G5.gov website (www.G5.gov) and as well as below: Note: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with SP1 is required to open in the format "Microsoft Office Live Meeting Replay." 1.
