FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Atticus Reaser, General Counsel, 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA and its implementing regulations, 5 
CFR part 1320, require federal agencies to provide 60 days notice to 
the public for comment on information collection activities--including 
renewals of currently approved ICRs--before seeking approval of such 
activities by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Accordingly, 
the Board invites interested respondents to comment on the following 
summary of proposed information collection activities regarding (i) 
Whether the information collection activities are necessary for the 
Board to properly execute its functions; (ii) the accuracy of the 
Board's estimates of the burden of the information collection 
activities; (iii) ways for the Board to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information being collected; and (iv) ways for the 
Board to minimize the burden of information collection activities on 
the public.
    The Board is planning to submit the following currently approved 
ICR to OMB for review and approval of renewal under the PRA:
    Title of Collection: FederalReporting.gov Recipient Registration 
System.
    ICR Reference No.: 200912-0430-001.
    OMB Control No.: 043-0002.
    ICR Status: The approval for this ICR is scheduled to expire on 2/
28/2013.
    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: 1000.
    Frequency of Responses: Once.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 83.

    Dated: December 19, 2012.
Atticus Reaser,
General Counsel.
