Description
Between 2006 and 2011, Congress initiated two significant efforts to increase public awareness of, and access to, federal spending data: the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). Both acts mandated the creation of public-access websites, which involved a broad range of data-collection and data-reporting activities, and required OMB and federal agencies, among others, to address multiple levels of accountability and transparency.
