SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
This information collection requires applicants and recipients of
Federal financial assistance, unless the applicant is an individual or
Federal awarding agency that is excepted from those requirements, to
register in SAM and maintain an active SAM registration with current
information at all times during which they have an active Federal award
or an application or plan under consideration by an agency pursuant to
2 CFR subtitle A, chapter I, and part 25 (75 FR 55673 as amended at 79
FR 75879). This facilitates prime awardee reporting of sub-award and
executive compensation data pursuant to the Federal Funding
Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. 109-282, as amended by
section 6202(a) of Pub. L. 110-252). This information collection
requires that all prime financial assistance awardees, subject to
reporting under the Transparency Act, register and maintain their
registration in <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>.
This information collection was amended to meet a statutory
requirement of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of FY
2013. The NDAA of 2013 requires that the Federal Awardee Performance
and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) (currently located at
<a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>) include information on a non-Federal entity's parent,
subsidiary, or successor entities. Additionally, the information
collection was amended to increase transparency regarding Federal
spending and to support implementation of the Digital Accountability
and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA ACT).
OMB expanded the requirement to register in SAM beyond grants,
cooperative agreements, and contracts, to entities that receive
financial assistance such as loans, insurance, and direct
appropriations. This information collection requirement (published in
the Federal Register at 85 FR 49506 on August 13, 2020) is included in
OMB's revision to guidance in 2 CFR subtitle A, chapter I, and parts
25, 170, and 200, effective June 12, 2023.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 211,959.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total annual responses: 211,959.
Hours per Response: 2.5.
Total Burden Hours: 529,898.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary; whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this
[[Page 64912]]
collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions
and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
