Subject: MCB Final CAP Approval

Good morning Pat,

I want to thank you and the MCB staff involved, especially Leamon, for the 
time and effort expended in the development of the Corrective Action Plan 
(CAP) that resulted from RSA's FY 2009 monitoring review.  RSA acknowledges 
the difficulty in reviewing the documentation to determine the allowability 
of services provided through the Certified Expenditure agreements. 
Additionally, the IL Part B corrective action regarding SILC Appointments 
and Term Limits for Non-Voting Members, impacting both MRS and MCB, has been 
addressed through the MRS CAP.

The team has carefully reviewed MCB's submissions, and we have concluded 
that all of the corrective actions are ready for approval.

The corrective actions that are approved are as follows:

Approved VR Chapter Corrective Actions:
1.  Cooperative Agreements with Grants to American Indian VR Programs
2.  Youth Low Vision Program
3.  Financial Needs Testing for SSI/SSDI recipients

Approved Fiscal Corrective Actions Items:
1.  SILC Providing Donated CIL Funds to MCB for Match
2.  Unallowable Certified Expenditures
3.  Assigning Personnel Costs
4.  Periodic Certification
5.  Youth Low Vision Program Match
6.  Unallowable Source of Non-Federal Funds - Benefits to Private Donor
7.  Financial Reporting
8.  Unallowable Costs - MOPIX

I have attached the approved corrective action documents submitted for the 
FY 2009 MCB CAP.  RSA is requesting that MCB report quarterly progress on 
the completion of corrective actions and specific steps taken to address 
compliance findings.  This will include the submission of any revised 
policies, procedures, or implementing documents.

RSA requests that the first quarterly progress report be submitted by April 
15, 2012.  The subsequent submissions of quarterly progress reports will be 
due July 15, 2012, October 15, 2012, January 15, 2013, etc.  Further 
quarterly progress report submissions will follow the quarters of the 
federal fiscal year(s) until the CAP activities resolve the findings 
identified.  In addition to the quarterly progress reports, MRS may complete 
more frequent updates or submissions in accordance with the timeline to 
complete specific CAP steps.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.  I 
look forward to working with you and other MCB staff to address these 
findings and corrective actions.

Thank you,

Craig McManus
