SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This information collection requires information necessary for 
prime applicants and recipients, excepting individuals, of Federal 
financial assistance to register in the System for Award Management 
(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 5672). 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 grant awardees, subject 
to reporting under the Transparency Act register and maintain their 
registration in SAM.

information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and

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.
