                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                A. Purpose
                 The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub.
                L.109-282, as amended by section 6202(a) of Pub. 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.
                 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: 2,662.
                 Responses per Respondent: 1.
