Are projects required to track data for the entire recertification performance period?

Answer

Recertification performance data should be tracked for the entire recertification performance period. However, project teams comply with performance tracking requirements by providing a representative dataset during the certification process. The general categories of data used to document credit compliance are as follows:

• Data from the entire recertification performance period;
• Data from the most recent 12 months of the recertification performance period; and
• Data from the most recent 25% of the recertification performance period.

If a project team falls out of compliance with an ongoing tracking requirement during the performance period, they should demonstrate that corrective action was taken to re-comply with the requirement.
