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). The system that collects this information is 
called the FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS, www.fsrs.gov). This 
information collection requires information necessary for prime awardee 
registration in FSRS to create a user log-in and enable sub-award 
reporting for their entity. To register in FSRS for a user log-in, an 
entity is required to provide their Data Universal Numbering System 
(DUNS) number. FSRS then pulls core data about the entity from their 
System for Award Management (SAM) registration to include the legal 
business name, physical address, mailing address

[[Page 66983]]

and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. The entity completes 
the FSRS registration by providing contact information within the 
entity for approval.
    If a prime awardee has already registered in FSRS to report 
contracts-related Transparency Act financial data, a new log-in will 
not be required. In addition, if a prime awardee had a user account in 
the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), a new log-in will 
not be required.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 2,662.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total annual responses: 2,662.
    Hours per Response: .5.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,331.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary, 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.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street 
NW, Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB
