• Prime and sub - recipients will need to register. If the Prime uses more than one D -U -N -S number, the number of the organization that received the award should be used. • Please note that registering with CCR and/or D &B requires additional processing time for the two organizations to validate user organization registration information. Combined CCR and D &B registration time can range from a single to several days depending on the particular organization and type of registration(s). If recipients need to register with CCR and/or D &B prior to using the www.FederalReporting.gov solution, the recipients should allow sufficient time to complete the registrations in order to still meet Recovery Act reporting deadlines. Advance registration is strongly recommended. Receive confirmation: When the website registration has been successfully concluded, the www.FederalReporting.gov solution will send a confirmation of registration to the user by email.

For example, the user can update an email address or the user account can be disabled.
