Notification of
Temporary Suspension of ASAP Accounts
To
Partners and Stakeholders,
The
National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) began temporarily suspending
all open ASAP accounts for the last four business days of the
month. Per the U.S. Department of Treasury, USDA will become
Central Accounting Reporting System (CARS) Reporters, to eliminate
timing difference within the federal government. This effort will
continue monthly to ensure that financial information is reconciled and
appropriately captured in our accounting systems. All NIFA
recipients should withdraw the necessary funds prior to the
cutoff. Accounts will re-open the first business day of each
month.
Please
direct all ASAP inquiries, or concerns to: ASAPCustomerService@nifa.usda.gov
