specific project site on the date that the application was submitted to the State granting body and the applicant's total number of employees at the specific project site on the date of the report, including the number of full-time, permanent jobs, the number of part-time jobs, and the number of temporary jobs, and a computation of the gain or loss of jobs in each category.
        (6) The number of new employees and retained
    
employees the applicant stated in its development assistance agreement, if any, if not, then in its application, would be created by the development assistance broken down by full-time, permanent, part-time, and temporary.
        (7) A declaration of whether the recipient is in
    
compliance with each development assistance agreement.
        (8) A detailed list of the occupation or job

        (9) A narrative, if necessary, describing how the
    
recipient's use of the development assistance during the reporting year has reduced employment at any site in Illinois.
        (10) A certification by the chief officer of the
    
applicant or his or her authorized designee that the information in the progress report contains no knowing misrepresentation of material facts upon which eligibility for development assistance is based.
        (11) Any other information the Department shall deem
    
necessary to ensure compliance with a development assistance program.
    (c) The State granting body, or a successor agency, shall have full authority to verify information contained in the recipient's progress report, including the authority to inspect the specific project site and inspect the records of the recipient that are subject to the development assistance agreement.
    (d) By June 1, 2005 and by June 1 of each year thereafter, the Department shall compile and publish all data in all of the progress reports in both written and electronic form.

    (f) The Department shall have the discretion to modify the information required in the progress report required under subsection (b) consistent with the disclosure purpose of this Section for any grants under the Industrial Training Program that are not given as an incentive to a recipient business organization.
