report or financial statements as follows:
1. Grantees expending $500,000 or

3. Recipient and Subrecipient
Reporting.
The applicant must have the
necessary processes and systems in
place to comply with the reporting
requirements for first-tier sub-awards
and executive compensation under the
Federal Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act of 2006 in the event
the applicant receives funding unless
such applicant is exempt from such
reporting requirements pursuant to 2
CFR part 170, § 170.110(b). The
reporting requirements under the
Transparency Act pursuant to 2 CFR
part 170 are as follows:
(a) First Tier Sub-Awards of $25,000
or more in non-Recovery Act funds
(unless they are exempt under 2 CFR
part 170) must be reported by the
Recipient to https://www.fsrs.gov no later
than the end of the month following the
month the obligation was made. Please
note that currently underway is a
consolidation of eight federal
procurement systems, including the
Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS),
into one system, the System for Award
Management (SAM). As result the FSRS
will soon be consolidated into and
accessed through https://www.sam.gov/
portal/public/SAM/.
(b) The Total Compensation of the
Recipient’s Executives (5 most highly
compensated executives) must be
reported by the Recipient (if the

BILLING CODE P
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Survey of Construction—
Questionnaire for Building Permit
Official.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0125.
Form Number(s): SOC–QBPO.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 225.
Number of Respondents: 900.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The information
collected on the SOC–QBPO is
necessary to carry out the sampling for
the Survey of Housing Starts, Sales and
Completions (OMB number 0607–0110),
also known as the Survey of
Construction (SOC). Government
agencies and private companies use
statistics from SOC to monitor and
evaluate the large and dynamic housing
construction industry.
The U.S. Census Bureau is requesting
an extension of the currently approved
collection, scheduled to expire on May
31, 2014. The SOC–QBPO is an
electronic questionnaire. Census Bureau
field representatives (FRs) use Computer
Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI)
to collect the data. We will continue to
use the current CAPI questionnaire
without any revisions and are
requesting approval of continued use of
the existing questionnaire in the field.
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
16767
The overall length of the interview and
the sample size also will not change.
The Census Bureau FRs use the SOCQBPO to obtain information on the
operating procedures of a permit office.
This enables them to locate, classify,
list, and sample building permits for
residential construction. These permits
are used as the basis for the sample
selected for SOC. The Manufacturing
and Construction Division (MCD),
within the Census Bureau, also uses the
information to verify and update the
geographic coverage of permit offices.
Failure to collect this information
would make it difficult, if not
impossible, to classify accurately and
sample building permits for the SOC.
The SOC produces data for two
principal economic indicators: New
Residential Construction (housing starts
and housing completions) and New
Residential Sales. Information from the
SOC is also used in the estimation of the
value of new residential construction
put in place for the Census Bureau’s
data on construction spending.
Affected Public: State, local, or tribal
government.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Section 182.
OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.
Copies of the above information
collection proposal can be obtained by
calling or writing Jennifer Jessup,
Departmental Paperwork Clearance
Officer, (202) 482–0336, Department of
Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20230 (or via the Internet at jjessup@
doc.gov).
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB
Desk Officer either by fax (202–395–
7245) or email (bharrisk@omb.eop.gov).
Dated: March 21, 2014.

Management Analyst, Office of the Chief
Information Officer.
