Assess whether a grant special condition is being waived de facto (31dd2f)

Situation

A subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match put FOIA search-term and exemption log in front of FOIA/public-records counsel's program counterpart in a city after an IG report on contracting. This Government / Budget and Performance close is a grant special condition from FOIA search-term and exemption log, and the live options are Pay or continue, Recoup, Deny.

Decision

FOIA/public-records counsel's program counterpart in a city after an IG report on contracting must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using FOIA search-term and exemption log after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in FOIA search-term and exemption log is the one a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match named, so Pay or continue follows for this Budget and Performance file.
• The population in FOIA search-term and exemption log is adjacent only to a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match; Recoup is the honest Government call.
• A city after an IG report on contracting already contained a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match before FOIA search-term and exemption log arrived; no new Budget and Performance path.
• Provenance on FOIA search-term and exemption log after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match is broken; do not pick Pay or continue or Recoup yet.

Analysis required

• Name the statutory hook that FOIA search-term and exemption log does or does not support.
• Test a single-case exception versus a control gap in a city after an IG report on contracting.
• Check notice and appeal timing around a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match.
• For this Government Budget and Performance file, read FOIA search-term and exemption log against a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match and write the one fact that would move a grant special condition for FOIA/public-records counsel's program counterpart.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Government / Budget and Performance packet (FOIA search-term and exemption log after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match). If FOIA search-term and exemption log cannot force a Government label under Budget and Performance, stop. Do not invent pages a city after an IG report on contracting does not have.
