SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose
This information collection
requirement, OMB Control No. 3090–
0293, currently titled ‘‘Reporting and
Use of Information Concerning Integrity
and Performance of Recipients of Grants
and Cooperative Agreements’’ is
necessary in order to comply with
section 872 of the Duncan Hunter
National Defense Authorization Act of
2009, Public Law 110–417, as amended
by Public Law 111–212, hereafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act.’’ The Duncan
Hunter National Defense Authorization
Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 110–417) was
enacted on October 14, 2008. Section
872 of this Act required the
development and maintenance of an
information system that contains
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Dec 01, 2017
Jkt 244001
specific information on the integrity and
performance of covered Federal agency
contractors and grantees.
The Federal Awardee Performance
and Integrity Information System
(FAPIIS) was developed to address these
requirements. FAPIIS provides users
access to integrity and performance
information from the FAPIIS reporting
module in the Contractor Performance
Assessment Reporting System (CPARS),
proceedings information from the Entity
Management section of the System for
Award Management (SAM) database,
and suspension/debarment information
from the Performance Information
section of SAM.
As stated in 2 CFR 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards, the Federal awarding
agency is required to review information
available through any OMB-designated
repositories of government-wide
eligibility qualification or financial
integrity information, as appropriate.
The Federal awarding agency is
required to review the non-public
segment of the OMB-designated
integrity and performance system
accessible through SAM (currently the
FAPIIS), prior to making a Federal
award where the Federal share is
expected to exceed the simplified
acquisition threshold (currently
$150,000), defined in 41 U.S.C. 134,
over the period of performance.
For non-federal entities (NFEs), if the
total value of the NFEs currently active
grants, cooperative agreements, and
procurement contracts from all Federal
awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000
for any period of time during the period
of performance of the Federal award,
then the NFE must disclose
semiannually, and maintain the
currency of information reported to the
SAM that is made available in the
designated integrity and performance
system (currently the FAPIIS) about
civil, criminal, or administrative
proceedings, as described in the award
terms and conditions, for the most
recent five year period.

Jkt 244001
A. Purpose
Federal Acquisition Regulation clause
52.223–2, Affirmative Procurement of
Biobased Products Under Service and
Construction Contracts, requires prime
contractors to report annually the
product types and dollar values of U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)designated biobased products purchased
to the System for Award Management
(SAM) Web site. The information
reported by prime contractors enables
Federal agencies to report annually to
the Office of Federal Procurement
Policy (OFPP) concerning actions taken
to implement and measure progress in
carrying out the preference for biobased
products required under section 9002 of
the Farm Security and Rural Investment
Act of 2002, codified at 7 U.S.C. 8102.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
To determine the number of
contractors performing construction and
service contracts that may involve the
purchase of USDA-designated biobased
products, fiscal year 2016 data in the
Federal Procurement Data System
(FPDS) was reviewed to calculate the
number of entities with unique DUNS
numbers that were awarded contracts
for the following selected Product
Services Codes: A—Research and
Development; F—Natural Resources
Management; J—Maintenance, Repair,
and Rebuilding of Equipment; M—
Operation of Government-Owned
Facility; S—Utilities and Housekeeping
Services; T—Photographic, Mapping,
Printing, and Publication Services; Y—
Construction of Structures and
Facilities; and Z—Maintenance, Repair
or Alteration of Real Property. The
clause at FAR 52.223–2 will apply to the
majority of the contract actions in the
selected PSCs.
The estimated total burden is as
follows:
Respondents: 51,457.
Responses per Respondent: 5.
Total Annual Responses: 257,285.
Hours per Response: 5.
Total Burden Hours: 1,286,425.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Annually.

information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the FAR,
