SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

The SF-SAC form is used to collect information required under the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR part 200, subpart F). Auditees that expend $750,000 or more in Federal awards in a fiscal year must submit the SF-SAC along with their Single Audit reporting package to the FAC.

This proposed revision includes:

1. An optional resubmission pathway, with fields for resubmission type, reason, and report ID.

2. Optional structured fields within each audit finding to capture questioned costs (known and likely), criteria, condition, cause, effect, recommendation, and response. These elements are typically included in narrative text; this change allows, but does not require, auditors to enter them in separate fields for improved clarity and data usability.

3. New Yes/No fields in the FAC webform to capture audit-level disclosures of known fraud, likely fraud, whether a summary schedule of prior audit findings is included, and whether significant instances of abuse are disclosed, consistent with 2 CFR 200.516(b)(5)-(7).

B. Annual Reporting Burden

Respondents: 90,000 (45,000 auditees and 45,000 auditors). ( printed page 42012)

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Total Annual Responses: 90,000 (45,000 auditees and 45,000 auditors).

Hours per Response: 100 hours for each of the 450 large respondents and 21 hours for each of the 89,550 small respondents.

Total Burden Hours: 1,925,550.

C. Public Comments

Public comments are invited on whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of GSA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of GSA's estimate of the burden, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, including through the use of automated techniques or other information technology. All comments received will be reviewed and considered.

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information collection documents from the Regulatory Secretariat Division by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing GSARegSec@gsa.gov. Please cite OMB Control No. 3090-0330, Federal Audit Clearinghouse, in all correspondence.
