Federal Appropriation Number

The Federal Appropriation Number (FAN) reference page records the federal code that connects a grant or project to a federal appropriation. The Federal Appropriation number is a critical field for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) grant reimbursement as it is required on the FHWA’s Fiscal Management Information System (FMIS) file generated by the Reimbursement Output system process.

The values identified above are associated with rules that require a Federal Appropriation Number (FAN) for all Funding Lines where the Customer (funding source) is FHWA (for example, Cost Accounting Funding Type value for the Vendor Customer is FHWA (CMIA) or FHWA (Non-CMIA)), thus reducing the possibility of error in the creation of the FMIS file.

Several fields are self-explanatory with the following exceptions:

Field Name	Description
Demo Program	The FHWA can require a Demo ID on the file created for FMIS for certain Federal Appropriations. The setting of required here will enforce a Demo ID be entered on those Funding Line records with the Federal Appropriation.
Funding Program	The FHWA can require a Funding Program on the file created for FIMIS. That information is pulled from the value entered here for a Federal Appropriation. Please see the Funding Program reference page for valid values.
Urban Attributable	An indication that when true indicate Federal Appropriation is one that is urban attributable - one where funds are apportioned and obligated by State, program code, and urbanized area.
