<td valign="top">Enable FAADC to collect multiple CFDA Numbers/Descriptions

<td valign="top">The FAADC application shall be updated to permit the collection of up to 5 Assistance Listings Numbers and Descriptions on a single award. The Assistance screen will be updated to include a new ‘Assistance Listings and Amounts’ section that will include all Assistance Listing information, their dollar amounts, as well as a ‘Predominant Assistance Listing’ checkbox, a ‘Remove Assistance Listing’ button, and an ‘Add Assistance Listing’ button.

[[Image:FAADC V1.2 Assitance user screen.png|500x433px|link=]]

Please <b>[[Media:FAADC V1.2 Assitance user screen.png|click here]]</b> to see the updated V1.2 Assistance user screen

A new version of the ASSISTANCE and ASSISTANCEDELETED Atom Feeds will be created to reflect the multiple Assistance Listings. The 1.1 Atom Feeds will be decommissioned 6 months after (April 16, 2025) V1.2 Atom Feeds are implemented.

A new Version 1.2 WSDL will be deployed. WSDL Version 1.1 will be retired and will only allow ‘Correct’ and ‘Get’ actions to be performed.

Data Elements 2K: ‘Correction Delete Indicator’, 2L: 'Correction Delete Indicator Description' and 2M: ‘FABS Sent Date’ will be tracked at the Individual Assistance Level instead of at the previous record level.

Data Element 7A will change XML tag name from <i>‘CFDANumber’</i> to <i>‘ALNumber’</i>.

Data Element 7B will change XML tag name from <i>‘CFDAProgramTitle’</i> to <i>‘ALProgramTitle’</i>.

The following data elements will now be auto calculated and will no longer allow input from the user:

*4A - Federal Action Obligation
*4C - Non-Federal Funding Amount
*4D - Face Value of Direct Loan or Loan Guarantee
*4E - Original Loan Subsidy Cost

The FAADC application shall be updated with these new data elements:

*7C - Predominant Assistance Listing
*4H - Assistant Listing’s Federal Action Obligation Amount
*4I - Assistance Listing’s Non-Federal Funding Amount
*4J - Assistance Listing's Face Value of Direct Loan or Loan Guarantee
*4K - Assistance Listing’s Original Loan Subsidy Cost

The FAADC application shall be updated with the following validation rules:

*FAADC:7A3 - <i>“An Assistance Listing number cannot be used more than once on a record.”</i>
*FAADC:7A4 - <i>“Only a maximum number of 5 Assistance Listings can be added to a record. Please limit the Assistance Listings to 5.”</i>
*FAADC:7A5 - <i>“Deleting this Assistance Listing will cause the R&D dollar values to not equal the Federal Action Obligation on an Amendment(s). Please change the dollar values on the Amendment(s) first, then you can delete this Assistance Listing."</i>
*FAADC:7C1 - <i>“The Predominant Assistance Listing cannot be deleted from an award that has been sent to USASpending.gov. In order to remove this Assistance Listing from the award, the record will have to be deleted and recreated."</i>
*FAADC:7C2 - <i>“One Assistance Listing must be marked as the ‘Predominant Assistance Listing’."</i>
*FAADC:7C3 - <i>“Only one Assistance Listing can be the ‘Predominant Assistance Listing’."</i>

The FAADC application shall be updated with the following validation rules which are now based on the auto calculated dollar amounts. The rule verbiage shall also be updated as follows:

*FAADC:4A2 - <i>“When "Action Type" is "NEW" or "CONTINUATION" on a Base award, the sum of all Assistance Listing "Federal Action Obligation" values must be greater than or equal to $0.00."</i>
*FAADC:4A5 - <i>“The sum of all the Research and Development dollar fields must equal the sum of all Assistance Listing "Federal Action Obligation" values on the record."</i>
*FAADC:4B2 - <i>“When "Action Type" is "NEW" or "CONTINUATION" on a Base award, the sum of all Assistance Listing "Non-Federal Funding Amount" values must be greater than or equal to $0.00."</i>
*FAADC:4D1 - <i>“When "Action Type" = "NEW" or 'CONTINUATION" on a Base Award, the sum of all Assistance Listing “Face Value of Direct Loan or Loan Guarantee” values must be greater than or equal to $0.00."</i>
*FAADC:4E1 - <i>“When "Action Type" = "NEW" or 'CONTINUATION" on a Base Award, the sum of all Assistance Listing "Original Loan Subsidy Cost" values must be greater than or equal to $0.00."</i>
