SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This information collection requires information necessary for 
prime applicants and recipients, excepting individuals, of Federal 
grants to register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and 
maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all 
times during which they have an active Federal award or an application 
or plan under consideration by an agency pursuant to 2 CFR Subtitle A, 
Chapter I, and part 25 (75 FR 55673 as amended at 79 FR 75879). 2 CFR 
Subtitle A, Chapter I, and part 25 designates SAM as the governmentwide 
repository for standard information about applicants and recipients. 2 
CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, and part 200 (80 FR 43308) also designates 
SAM as the system recipients are required to report certain civil, 
criminal, or administrative proceedings if they meet certain 
conditions. Further, Federal awarding agencies are required to check 
SAM for pre-award purposes in accordance with 2 CFR part 180. This 
information collection requires that all prime grant awardees, subject 
to the requirements in 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter I, and part 25 
register and maintain their registration in SAM.
    Pursuant to 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, part 200, Subpart C, 
Section 200.208 Certifications and representations, Federal agencies 
are authorized to require non-Federal entities to submit certifications 
and representations required by Federal statutes, or regulations on an 
annual basis. Currently, most Federal agencies require non-Federal 
entities to submit certifications with each Federal assistance 
application by use of the Assurances for Non-Construction Programs (SF-
424B) and on an annual basis thereafter. To streamline this data 
collection and to reduce burden, OMB, in conjunction with the Federal 
assistance community, developed standard governmentwide certifications 
and representations to be certified by the non-Federal entity when 
registering in SAM. In Fiscal Year 2019, OMB will reemphasize that SAM 
is the repository for standard information about applicants and 
recipients and that the standard governmentwide certifications and 
representations are to be certified within SAM at the time of 
registration and/or registration renewal should meet the need of 
governmentwide certifications and representations. This will reduce the 
unnecessary, duplicative practice of agencies requesting certifications 
and representations with the submission of each application and lead to 
phasing out the use of the SF-424B, thereby decreasing the burden level 
of Federal grant recipients and Federal agencies.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the System for Award Management Registration Requirements 
for Prime Grant Recipients, 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.
