(a) In any assistance award funded in whole or in part by the Recovery Act, the award official shall indicate that the award is being made under the Recovery Act, and indicate what projects and/or activities are being funded under the Recovery Act.

OMB Circular A–102 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a102/a102.html.
