SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Executive Order 14400, Urgent National Action to Save College
Sports, directs the Administrator of General Services to propose a
regular collection of information to evaluate compliance with the rules
covered in the E.O. to aid contract and grantmaking agencies'
compliance with the E.O. starting August 1, 2026.
The System for Award Management (SAM or <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>) serves as the
primary registration and award management database for the U.S. Federal
Government. SAM currently collects, validates, stores, and disseminates
data in support of agency acquisition and financial assistance
missions. SAM validates entity registration information and
electronically shares the secure and encrypted data with Federal agency
personnel to facilitate their award making and payments. Additionally,
SAM shares its data with Federal Government procurement, financial
assistance, and electronic business systems.
Both current and potential Colleges and Universities are required
to register in SAM pursuant to Title 2 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
receive specified Federal awards. Entities complete a registration
process to provide basic information relevant to procurement and
Federal financial assistance transactions. These entities may also
report various information applicable to the federal award process in
<a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>.
Registered entities identified as Higher Education Institutions
during the SAM entity registration and meeting the $20M (adjusted for
inflation) threshold for intercollegiate athletics activities revenue
will certify their compliance quarterly with the terms within E.O.
14400. This certification information will be available for Federal
officials for contract and grantmaking activities and compliance
verification.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 11,720.
Responses per Respondent: 1-5 (1 for screening responses and 4 for
certification responses).
Total Annual Responses: 14,620 (11,720 screening responses and
2,900 certification responses).
Hours per Response: 0.25 for screening response and 0.5 for
certification response.
Total Burden Hours: $241,557 ($161,589.50 for screening response
and $79,967.50 for certification response).
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 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.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a watermarked
``DRAFT'' copy of the supporting statement via the Federal eRulemaking
portal at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> and searching for Docket ID ``GSA-GSA-2026-
