Sponsored By: Representative Velázquez, Nydia M. [D-NY-7]

Summary

This bill would require a focused federal study to improve how data and statistical products support Puerto Rico’s disaster recovery grants. It directs the Comptroller General to analyze grant flows, data gaps, and how federal statistics were used across recovery programs.

Show full summary
  • Families and Puerto Rico governments would get a full catalogue of recovery grants. The report would list each grant’s type, amount, and the specific disaster or emergency it addresses.
  • Grant‑awarding agencies would be reviewed on their use of federal statistical products at stages like notice of funding, application review, award selection, and technical assistance. Agencies must respond to information requests within 90 days.
  • Congress and oversight officials would receive a single, comprehensive report within 1 year identifying critical data gaps, examples where gaps impeded grant management, and recommendations for including Puerto Rico in Federal products to improve allocation and oversight.
