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

[[Page 51528]]

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 and has been 
superseded by the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov. SAM 
provides users access to integrity information from the FAPIIS 
reporting module in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting 
System (CPARS), proceedings information from the Entity Management 
section of the SAM database, and suspension/debarment information from 
the Exclusions section of SAM.
    As required by 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, 
Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, effective 
January 1, 2016, Federal agencies are required to review and consider 
any information about the applicant that is in SAM before making any 
award in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold, defined in 41 
U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance.
    Non-Federal entities (NFEs) are required to disclose any 
information about criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, and/
or affirm that there is no new information to provide. This applies to 
NFEs that receive Federal awards (currently active grants, cooperative 
agreements, and procurement contracts), as required by 45 CFR part 75, 
Appendix XII, of the Uniform Guidance, for any period of time during 
the period of performance of an award/project.
