Information Collection Request Title: DATA Act Sec. 5. ``Simplifying 
Federal Award Reporting'' Grants Pilot

    Abstract: Public Law 113-101, The Digital Accountability and 
Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act) expands the Federal Funding 
Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 by increasing 
accountability and transparency in Federal spending. Section 5 of the 
DATA Act (``Sec. 5. Simplifying Federal Award Reporting'') tasks the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish a 
pilot program (Sec. 5 (b)).
    OMB has designated the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS) as the executing agent of the pilot program. Within HHS, the DATA 
Act Program Management Office (PMO) (DAP) has been established under 
the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (ASFR) in 
order to implement this pilot program. ASFR/DAP, in coordination with 
Grants.gov, is requesting a generic clearance for the purpose of 
conducting tests under the pilot program to obtain qualitative and 
quantitative data and gain an understanding of the burden imposed on 
Federal recipients.
    The DAP has designed several test models to evaluate recipient 
burden and assess quality of data. The goal of these test models is to 
determine whether new technology, data standards, processes, and forms 
aid in reducing recipient burden and increase the accuracy and quality 
of the data submitted. Under this clearance, a variety of methods 
(surveys, focus groups, etc.) could be used to collect data, with the 
exact nature of the questions currently undetermined. DAP expects these 
questions to include, but not be limited to, topics pertaining to the 
Standard Form (SF) 424, the Consolidated Federal Financial Reports, and 
the expanded Single Audit form (SF-SAC). If this data is not collected, 
the requirements of the DATA Act Section 5 pilot will not be met. The 
types of collections that this generic clearance covers include, but 
are not limited to:
     Surveys,
     Focus Groups,
     Other qualitative methods such as interviews, small 
discussion groups, and case studies.
    Likely Respondents: Recipients of Federal contracts, grants, and 
sub-awards.
