SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
This information collection requirement, OMB Control No. 3090-0293,
currently titled ``Reporting and Use of Information Concerning
Integrity and Performance of Recipients of Grants and Cooperative
Agreements'' is necessary in order to comply with section 872 of the
Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of 2009, Public Law
110-417, as amended by Public Law 111-212, hereafter referred to as
``the Act.'' The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of
2009 (Pub. L. 110-417) was enacted on October 14, 2008. Section 872 of
this Act required the development and maintenance of an information
system that contains specific information on the integrity and
performance of covered Federal agency contractors and grantees.
The Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System
(FAPIIS) was developed to address these requirements and has been
superseded by the System for Award Management (SAM) at <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>. SAM
provides users access to integrity information from the FAPIIS
reporting module in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting
System (CPARS), proceedings information from the Entity Management
section of the SAM database, and suspension/debarment information from
the Exclusions section of SAM.
As required by 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements,
Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, effective
January 1, 2016, Federal agencies are required to review and consider
any information about the applicant that is in SAM before making any
award in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold, defined in 41
U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance.
Non-Federal entities (NFEs) are required to disclose any
information about criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, and/
or affirm that there is no new information to provide. This applies to
NFEs that receive Federal awards (currently active grants, cooperative
agreements, and procurement contracts), as required by 45 CFR part 75,
Appendix XII, of the Uniform Guidance, for any period of time during
the period of performance of an award/project.
