SITUATION Regulatory-impact analyst is responsible for to delay a rule in a pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit, using emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet as the only working extract. A performance target that was quietly changed mid-year is what reset the timeline for this Government Budget and Performance file.

DECISION Regulatory-impact analyst in a pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit must choose To delay a rule / Publish with a weaker RIA using emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is the one a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year named, so To delay a rule follows for this Budget and Performance file. 2. The population in emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is adjacent only to a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year; Publish with a weaker RIA is the honest Government call. 3. A pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit already contained a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year before emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet arrived; no new Budget and Performance path. 4. Provenance on emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year is broken; do not pick To delay a rule or Publish with a weaker RIA yet.
