SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (P.L.109-
282, as amended by section 6202(a) of P.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 and Commercial and 
Government Entity (CAGE) code. The entity completes the FSRS 
registration by providing contact information within the entity for 
approval.

[[Page 33130]]

    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: 5,678.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total annual responses: 5,678.
    Hours Per Response: .5.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,839.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary and 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.
    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
