day public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (Board) is 
giving public notice that it will submit a currently approved 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
renewal. The public and affected federal agencies are invited to 
comment on the proposed approval renewal pursuant to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to OMB at the address below 
on or before April 18, 2013 to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Send all comments to Sharon Mar, Desk Officer for the 
Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, Office of Management 
and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; fax 
202-395-5167; or email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the PRA, the Board invites the 
general public and affected federal agencies to comment on the proposed 
information collection approval renewal. The Board published a previous 
notice of proposed information collection approval renewal on December 
26, 2012, see 77 FR 76097 (Dec. 26, 2012), corrected at 78 FR 4175 
(Jan. 18, 2013). No comments were received. On February 19, 2013, OMB 
granted the Board's request for an emergency extension of the 
information collection approval, extending the expiration date of the 
current approval from February 28, 2013, to March 31, 2013. The purpose 
of this notice is to allow for an additional 30 days for public comment 
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.10.
    In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address 
one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed 
information

[[Page 16895]]

collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Board; (b) the accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of information technology; and (e) whether small 
businesses are affected by this collection.
    In this notice, the Board is soliciting comments concerning the 
following information collection:
    Title of Collection: FederalReporting.gov Recipient Registration 
System.
    ICR Reference No.: 200912-0430-001.
    OMB Control No.: 0430-0002.
    ICR Status: The approval for this information collection is 
scheduled to expire on 3/31/2013.
    Description: Section 1512 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment 
Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5, 123 Stat. 115 (2009) (Recovery Act), 
requires recipients of Recovery Act funds to report on the use of those 
funds. These reports are submitted to FederalReporting.gov, and certain 
information from these reports is then posted to the publically 
available Web site Recovery.gov.
    The FederalReporting.gov Recipient Registration System (FRRS) was 
developed to protect the Board and FederalReporting.gov users from 
individuals seeking to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on 
FederalReporting.gov. FRRS is used for the purpose of verifying the 
identity of the user; allowing users to establish an account on 
FederalReporting.gov; providing users access to their 
FederalReporting.gov account for reporting data; allowing users to 
customize, update, or terminate their accounts with 
FederalReporting.gov; and renewing or revoking a user's account on 
FederalReporting.gov, thereby protecting FederalReporting.gov and 
FederalReporting.gov users from potential harm caused by individuals 
with malicious intentions gaining unauthorized access to the system.
    To assist in this goal, FRRS will collect a registrant's name, 
email address, telephone number and extension, three security questions 
and answers, and, by way of a DUNS number, organization information. 
The person registering for FederalReporting.gov will generate a self-
assigned password that will be stored on the FRRS, but will only be 
accessible to the registering individual.
    Affected Public: Private sector, and state, local, and tribal 
governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Once.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 83.

    Dated: March 14, 2013.
Atticus J. Reaser,
General Counsel, Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.
