**** There will be one CPA firm respondent (an SSA-approved contractor) to conduct compliance reviews and prepare written reports of findings on the 10 permitted entities.
Cost Burden
The public cost burden is dependent
upon the number of permitted entities
and annual transaction volume. In FY
2019, 10 companies enrolled out of 123
applications received to participate in
eCBSV. We based the cost estimates
below on 10 participating permitted
entities in FY 2020 submitting an
anticipated volume of 307,000,000
transactions. The Banking Bill requires
that we collect at least 50 percent of the
ECBSV
start-up costs (i.e., that we collect $9.2
million) before we may begin
development of the eCBSV verification
system. SSA will recover the remaining
development costs over three years
using the following tier fee schedule:

........................................................................................................................................................

........................................................................................................................................................
........................................................................................................................................................
Each enrolled permitted entity will be
required to remit the above tier based
subscription fee for the 365-day
agreement period and the appropriate
administrative fee. We will charge
newly enrolled entities a startup
administrative fee of $3,693. After the
initial year, we will charge the entities
a renewal administrative fee of $1,691
each time the agreement is renewed or
amended. We calculated the fees based
on forecasted systems and operational
expenses; agency oversight, overhead
and CPA audit contract costs.
In addition, SSA will periodically
recalculate costs to provide eCBSV
services and adjust the fees charged as
needed. We will notify companies of a
fee adjustment at the renewal of the
eCBSV User Agreement and via notice
in the Federal Register; companies have
the opportunity to cancel the agreement
or continue service using the new fee.

Hamidawi, also known as Ahmed
Kadhim Raheem Al-Saedi, also known
as Ahmad Kazim Rahim Al-Sa’idi, also
known as Abu Husayn, is a leader of
Kata’ib Hizballah, a group whose
property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to a determination by
the Secretary of State pursuant to
Executive Order 13224.
Consistent with the determination in
section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that
prior notice to persons determined to be
subject to the Order who might have a
constitutional presence in the United
States would render ineffectual the
blocking and other measures authorized
in the Order because of the ability to
transfer funds instantaneously, I
determine that no prior notice needs to
be provided to any person subject to this
determination who might have a
constitutional presence in the United
States, because to do so would render
ineffectual the measures authorized in
the Order.
This notice shall be published in the
Federal Register.
Dated: February 14, 2020.

contained in Circular A–110, recipient
organizations are required to provide,
and the U.S. State Department required
to collect, periodic program and
financial performance reports. The
responsibility of the State Department to
track and monitor the programmatic and
financial performance necessitates a
database that can help facilitate this in
a consistent and standardized manner.
The larger SAMS-D database is already
the Department of State’s system of
record; the database enables monitoring
of grants and cooperative agreements
through standardized collection and
storage of performance monitoring
award elements, such as progress
reports, workplans, grant agreements,
and other business information related
to ECA awards. The SAMS-D RPM
(which this notice of information
collection pertains to, specifically) is an
extension module within the larger
SAMS-D platform, designed to collect
performance monitoring data in a format
that will make analysis of program
performance and monitoring of the
award more efficient.
Methodology
Information will be entered into
SAMS-D RPM electronically. For
organizations that are unable to submit
their reports online, they will be able to
submit a word document or PDF as the
report, which will then be uploaded to
the SAMS-D RPM. ECA will seek to
limit such situations.
