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 $250,000), 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.
