Activities; Submission to the Office of

Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Data Collection Form for
Reporting on Audits of States, Local
Governments, Indian Tribes,
Institutions of Higher Education, and
Nonprofit Organizations
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on April 22,
2021, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau,
Commerce.
Title: Data Collection Form for
Reporting on Audits of States, Local
Governments, Indian Tribes, Institutions
of Higher Education, and Nonprofit
Organizations.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0518.
Form Number(s): SF–SAC.
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Type of Request: Regular submission,
Request for an Extension, without
Change, of a Currently Approved
Collection.
Number of Respondents: 80,000
(40,000 auditees and 40,000 auditors).
Average Hours per Response: 100
hours for large auditees (approx. 400
respondents) and 21 hours for all other
auditees (approx. 79,600 respondents).
Burden Hours: 1,711,600.
Needs and Uses: Each year, more than
$700 billion in federal assistance awards
are expended by more than 100,000
non-federal entities (states, local
governments, Indian tribes and tribal
organizations, institutions of higher
education, and nonprofit organizations)
throughout the country. To improve
business-like practices and provide
greater accountability over federal
awards, the Single Audit Act
Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–156)
and the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(2 CFR part 200, or Uniform Guidance)
imposed certain audit reporting and
recordkeeping requirements on nonfederal entities/auditees that expend
$750,000 or more in federal awards per
year, as well as on their auditors.
Non-federal entities are required by
the Single Audit Act Amendments of
1996 and Uniform Guidance to have
audits conducted of their federal awards
and file the resulting reporting packages
(Single Audit reports) and data
collection forms (Form SF–SAC) with
the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC).
The Form SF–SAC is Appendix X to 2
CFR part 200. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
designated the Census Bureau as the
FAC to serve as the government-wide
repository of record for Single Audit
reports.
The Single Audit process is a primary
method used by federal agencies and
pass-through entities to provide
oversight of federal awards and reduce
risk of non-compliance and improper
payments. This includes following up
on audit findings and questioned costs.
Entities meeting the dollar threshold
defined in OMB Uniform Guidance
must submit the Form SF–SAC and
their Single Audit reporting package to
the FAC. The entity must complete the
Single Audit submission every fiscal
period they meet the reporting dollar
threshold.
The information collection provides
data about auditees, the federal awards
they expend, and the results of their
audits. This information is used by
entities responsible for overseeing the
funding and administration of Federal
awards (e.g., Congress, Federal agencies,

and pass-through entities) and entities
responsible for administering Federal
awards (e.g., state governing officials,
county and city councils, board of
directors of nonprofit organizations, and
senior management of various auditees).
The information is used in making
decisions about which federal awards
and recipients to fund in the future,
identifying and resolving areas of
noncompliance, and improving the
administration and delivery of federal
awards.
Federal agencies, non-federal entities,
and pass-through entities use submitted
Forms SF–SAC and Single Audit
reporting packages to ensure federal
awards are expended in accordance
with applicable laws and regulations.
The FAC uses the information on the
Form SF–SAC to ensure proper
distribution of audit reports to federal
agencies and identify non-federal
entities who have not filed the required
reports. The FAC also uses the
information on the Form SF–SAC to
create a government-wide database,
which contains information on audit
results. This database is publicly
accessible online at https://
facdissem.census.gov.
The Uniform Guidance indicates that
the FAC is authorized to make the
reporting package and the Form SF–
SAC publicly available on a website.
There is an exception for Indian Tribes
and Tribal Organizations (2 CFR
200.512(b)(2)). An auditee that is an
Indian Tribe (as defined in the Indian
Self-Determination, Education and
Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C
5304) may opt not to authorize the FAC
to make the reporting package publicly
available on a website. For these
exempted auditees, the text of the audit
findings, the text of the corrective action
plan, and the text portions collected as
part of the Notes to the SEFA (all 3 are
included in the reporting package) will
not be publicly released on the Form
SF–SAC.
The data collected by the FAC is used
by federal agencies, pass-through
entities, non-federal entities, auditors,
the Government Accountability Office
(GAO), OMB and the general public for
information about and management of
federal awards and the results of audits.
This information is essential in
developing effective government-wide
audit policies overseeing federal
awards. The Single Audit Act
Amendments of 1996 require OMB to
perform a biennial review of the
threshold that triggers an audit
requirement, prescribe a risk-based
approach to auditing major programs,
and provide guidance on other matters
necessary to implement the Single

Audit Act. OMB cannot perform its
duties required by the Single Audit Act
Amendments or develop audit policies
without the information provided under
this data collection.
This information is exclusively
collected via FAC’s web-based
application, which is designed to assist
the respondent in completing the data
collection form. Uniform Guidance
requires auditees to submit their
information to the FAC nine months
after their fiscal period has ended or 30
days after receipt of their audit report—
whichever comes first. This is an
ongoing collection process and there
have been no changes to the collection
requirements since the last approval.
Affected Public: States, local
governments, Indian tribes, institutions
of higher education, non-profit
organizations (Non-Federal entities) and
their auditors.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 31 U.S.C.
Section 7501 et. seq. and 2 CFR part
200.
