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). Beginning October 1, 2010, the currently approved 
Paperwork Reduction Act submission directed compliance with the 
Transparency Act to report prime and first-tier sub-award data. 
Specifically, Federal agencies and prime awardees of grants were to 
ensure disclosure of executive compensation of both prime and 
subawardees and sub-award data pursuant to the Transparency Act. This 
information collection requires reporting of only the information 
enumerated under the Transparency Act.

B. Public Comments

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FFATA Subaward and Executive Compensation Reporting 
Requirements, 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.
