Latest action on H.R. 2069: Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 40 - 0.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies that make awards or use other transaction agreements. Those agencies may need to update their data systems and reporting work. Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget would run more of the reporting process. Congress, watchdog groups, researchers, and the public could get a clearer view of federal spending that is now harder to find.

Why this matters: Some federal spending is hard to see today, and this bill would push more of it into a public database. That could make it easier to track how the government uses flexible deals, especially for research and development. It could also show how much award spending still stays off USAspending.gov and why. Agencies may need new systems or staff time to meet the rules, but the bill does not state those costs.

Key provisions in H.R. 2069

• Other transaction agreements would count as federal awards that must be reported on USAspending.gov. These are flexible federal deals often used for research and development.
• Treasury would have to make OTA data flow automatically into USAspending.gov. The data would also have to appear in one central view within 3 years after the bill becomes law.
• Treasury would have to publish a yearly report on federal award spending that is not on USAspending.gov. The report must explain why, including classified spending, branch of government, or subaward status.
• If full OTA reporting is not ready within 1 year, Treasury must publish a backup public report. It must list and describe all OTAs that covered agencies made in the prior fiscal year.
• If OTA data is still not fully added within 2 years, Treasury must send Congress a plan. The plan must explain the status and how Treasury will finish by year 3.
