SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. 
109-282, as amended by section 6202(a) of P.L. 110-252), known as FFATA 
or the Transparency Act, requires information disclosure of entities 
receiving Federal financial assistance through Federal awards such as 
Federal contracts, sub-contracts, grants and sub-grants, FFATA 
2(a),(2),(i),(ii). The system that collects this information is called 
the FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS, www.fsrs.gov). This 
information collection requires information necessary for prime awardee 
registration in FSRS to create a user log-in and enable sub-award 
reporting for their entity. To register in FSRS for a user log-in, an 
entity is required to provide their Data Universal Numbering System 
(DUNS) number. FSRS then pulls core data about the entity from their 
System for Award Management (SAM) registration to include the legal 
business name, physical address, mailing address and Commercial and 
Government Entity (CAGE) code. The entity completes the FSRS 
registration by providing contact information within the entity for 
approval.
    If a prime awardee has already registered in FSRS to report 
contracts-related Transparency Act financial data, a new log-in will 
not be required. In addition, if a prime awardee had a user account in 
the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), a new log-in will 
not be required.

B. Public Comments

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FSRS Registration Requirements for Prime Grant 
Awardees, 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.
