Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) Information

The FWS uses ASAP to make payments to recipients for financial assistance awards. ASAP is a Federal-wide system used by State and local governments, non-profits, universities, as well as individuals to draw funds for awards received through FWS and other Federal agencies.

ASAP:

Eliminates the requirement for SF-270, Request for Advance or Reimbursement, or SF-271, Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs;
Eliminates the need for invoices and detailed receipts;
Makes funds available to recipients so they reduce the time between doing the work and getting paid for it; and
Is available to anyone who has access to a computer with Internet service
