RECOVERY ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY BOARD


Proposed Information Collection Activities

ACTION: Notice of submission to OMB and 30-day public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (Board) is 
giving public notice that it has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for approval the information collection described in 
this notice. The public is invited to comment on the proposed 
information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to OMB at the address below 
on or before January 11, 2010 to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Ms. 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 electronically mailed to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (PRA), Pubic Law 104-13, section 2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified 
as revised at 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Board invites the general 
public and other federal agencies to comment on the proposed 
information collection. The Board published a notice of proposed 
collection for this information collection on August 31, 2009 (74 FR 
44814). No comments were received. However, the first reporting period 
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has since 
occurred, and the Board has therefore been able to modify its estimated 
number of respondents accordingly. The Board has submitted the 
described information collection to OMB for approval.
    In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address 
one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed 
information 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.
    OMB Control No.: 0430-0002.
    Description: Section 1512 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment 
Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5, 123 Stat. 115 (Recovery Act), requires 
recipients of Recovery Act funds to report on the use of those funds. 
These reports are to be submitted to FederalReporting.gov, and certain 
information from these reports will later be posted to the publicly 
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; 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, e-
mail 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: 88,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Once.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 7,333.
