SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
This information collection requirement, OMB Control No. 3090-0293,
currently titled ``Reporting and Use of Information Concerning
Integrity and Performance of Recipients of Grants and Cooperative
Agreements'' is necessary in order to comply with section 872 of the
Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of 2009, Public Law
110-417, as amended by Public Law 111-212, hereafter referred to as
``the Act.'' The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of
2009 (Pub. L. 110-417) was enacted on October 14, 2008. Section 872 of
this Act required the development and maintenance of an information
system that contains specific information on the integrity and
performance of covered Federal agency contractors and grantees.
The Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System
(FAPIIS) was developed to address these requirements. FAPIIS provides
users access to integrity and performance information from the FAPIIS
reporting module in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting
System (CPARS), proceedings information from the Entity Management
section of the System for Award Management (SAM) database, and
suspension/debarment information from the Performance Information
section of SAM.
As stated in 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, the Federal
awarding agency is required to review information available through any
OMB-designated repositories of government-wide eligibility
qualification or financial integrity information, as appropriate.
The Federal awarding agency is required to review the non-public
segment of the OMB-designated integrity and performance system
accessible through SAM (currently the FAPIIS), prior to making a
Federal award where the Federal share is expected to exceed the
simplified acquisition threshold (currently $150,000), defined in 41
U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance.
For non-federal entities (NFEs), if the total value of the NFEs
currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement
contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for
any period of time during the period of performance of the Federal
award, then the NFE must disclose semiannually, and maintain the
currency of information reported to the SAM that is made available in
the designated integrity and performance system (currently the FAPIIS)
about civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings, as described in
the award terms and conditions, for the most recent five year period.

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.
