FPRS Assistance for Farm to School Grantees

Food Programs Reporting System or FPRS – (pronounced ‘fippers’) is used to submit quarterly financial reports by grantees throughout the grant period. This page provides instructions for enrollment and use of FPRS.

FPRS is NOT used to draw down funds. ASAP is the system used to drawn down funds. FPRS is NOT connected to ASAP; they are two separate systems that do not share information.

Enroll

1. The financial point of contact at your organization should create a Login.gov with verified identity account to allow you to sign in to your account safely and securely. To create a Login.gov verified identity, go to the
   FPRS Login page and follow the instructions provided.
   • To access FPRS, grantees are required to use eAuthentication or eAuth through Login.gov. e-Auth is a federal cyber security tool.
2. FNS will provide you with a copy of the FNS-674 and instructions for completing it. If you have completed the eAuth process and need a copy of the form, please contact your grant specialist. Do not use a copy of the form that you find elsewhere, please only use the partially pre-filled version that FNS provides.
3. Once the eAuth process is complete, submit completed and signed FNS-674 back to grant specialist and copy your grant officer.
4. Receive email granting access to FPRS from SM.FN.FPRSAccess@usda.gov.

   • Grantee Onboarding Checklist
   • eAuth Enrollment Instructions

Using FPRS

• Instructions for submitting a SF-425 Report
• Grantees submit financial reports each quarter and at the end of the project period via FPRS.
• Financial reports are due quarterly, 30 days after the end of the quarter as shown in the table below.
• Final financial reports are due 120 days after the grant project end date.

• Grantees “certify” reports in FPRS. Grant officers review the reports and either follow up with the grantee to submit corrections if needed, or “post” the report if the report is error-free.
• A new quarter’s report cannot be submitted until the previous quarter’s report is posted. For example, if the grantee misses a submission for quarter 1, then tries to submit quarter 2 on time, they will be unable to submit quarter 2 until quarter 1 has been completed.
• Account will be deactivated after 14 months of inactivity.
• New points of contact must enroll in eAuth and gain FPRS account access. This should be completed as soon as possible when change in staff occurs. Individuals should not share login credentials.
