SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This information collection requires information necessary for 
prime applicants and recipients, excepting individuals, of Federal 
grants to register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and 
maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all 
times during which they have an active Federal award or an application 
or plan under consideration by an agency pursuant to 2CFR Subtitle A, 
Chapter I, and Part 25 (75 FR 5672). This facilitates prime awardee 
reporting of sub-award and executive compensation data pursuant to the 
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. 109-282, 
as amended by section 6202(a) of Pub. L. 110-252). This information 
collection requires that all prime grant awardees, subject to reporting 
under the Transparency Act register and maintain their registration in 
SAM.

    Respondents: 177,960.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total annual responses: 177,960.
    Hours per Response: 2.
    Total Burden Hours: 355,920.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the System for Award Management Registration Requirements 
for Prime Grant Recipients, 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.
