Commerce Administrative Rules COMM 5 and COMM 47 require that consulting firms and individual consultants be registered with Commerce in order to do work in the PECFA program. The PECFA program will require that individuals performing the role of project manager sign the Form 1A, and provide their Commerce registration number.

PECFA staff will be checking to make sure all registrations are current. COMM 47.40 (1)(b) grants PECFA the authority to deny costs for services performed if consultant and consulting firms fail to register with the program. In addition, proof of required insurance [COMM 5.80 (4) (b) and 5.81(3)] will be verified at the time initial registration or renewal.
