Urban Reporters & Rural Data

• Every Urban Reporter must divide their VRM data among all geographies served

• Rules for Rural Reporting– Service starting and ending in a rural

area must be attributed to rural areas– Service using 5311 operating assistance

must be attributed to rural areas

11

Changes from New NTD System

• States may authorize a subrecipient to input data directly into the State’s NTD report

• New system will integrate validation checks– States will no longer be required to use

Word documents to manage validation– Issues will fire within the reporting

system
