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.
