SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. 
109-282, as amended by section 6202(a) of Pub. 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.

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be

collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use 
of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. A 60-day notice requesting comments was
