Download as PDF 78684 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 245 / Thursday, December 22, 2022 / Notices Since disclosing financial activity from two different calendar years on one report would conflict with the calendar year aggregation requirements stated in the Commission’s disclosure rules, unauthorized committees that trigger the filing of the Pre-General Report will be required to file this report on two separate forms: one form to cover 2022 activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the other form to cover only 2023 activity, labeled as the Pre-General Report. Both forms must be filed by February 9, 2023. Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures in connection with the Virginia General Election will continue to file according to the monthly reporting schedule. Additional disclosure information for the Virginia special election may be found on the FEC website at https:// www.fec.gov/help-candidates-andcommittees/dates-and-deadlines/. Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity Principal campaign committees, party committees and leadership PACs that are otherwise required to file reports in connection with the special elections must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L if they receive two or more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or lobbyist/registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of the lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold during the special election reporting periods. (See charts below for closing date of each period.) 11 CFR 104.22(a)(5)(v), (b), 110.17(e)(2), (f). The lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2022 is $20,200. This threshold amount may increase in 2023 based upon the annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). Once the adjusted threshold amount becomes available, the Commission will publish it in the Federal Register and post it on its website.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Non-Federal entities (states, local governments, Indian tribes, 
institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations) are 
required by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (31 U.S.C. 7501, 
et. seq.) (Act) and 2 CFR part 200, ``Uniform Administrative 
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal 
Awards,'' (Uniform Guidance) to have audits conducted of their federal 
award expenditures, and to file the resulting reporting packages 
(Single Audit reports) and data collection Form SF-SAC (Form) with the 
Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The Form SF-SAC is Appendix X to 2 CFR 
part 200.
    The Single Audit process is the primary method Federal agencies and 
pass-through entities use to provide oversight of Federal awards and 
reduce risk of non-compliance and improper payments. This oversight 
includes following up on audit findings and questioned costs.
    The Office of Management and Budget has historically designated the 
U.S. Census Bureau (Census) as the FAC, to serve as the government-wide 
repository of record for Single Audit reports collected under OMB 
control number 0607-0518. At the direction of OMB, GSA will become the 
new FAC repository of record, beginning as early as spring 2023 with 
collection of Single Audit reports with fiscal periods ending in 2023 
and later. On approximately October 1, 2023, GSA will also begin data 
collection of 2016-2022 Single Audit reports currently collected by 
Census. All these collections will be conducted under this PRA 
clearance application.
    Single Audit reports under this clearance will be collected 
electronically through GSA's new FAC internet collection portal at 
https://www.fac.gov/.
    There are few proposed changes to the existing data elements and 
data collection method in this clearance. Planned changes are intended 
to make the reporting process easier, improve data integrity, and 
ensure compliance with the GREAT Act. All changes listed below are 
intended to take effect for all audit years collected by GSA, unless 
specified otherwise.
    The proposed changes include:
     end collection of the DUNS number
     upload the majority of data via templates rather than 
graphical user interface (GUI) in the initial GSA system, subject to 
creation of a GUI for additional data submission options before 
expiration of this proposed clearance (collection items are not 
changing, just the means of collection)
     collect auditee's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) for 
audits with fiscal periods ending in 2016-2021 (already approved to be 
collected for audits with fiscal periods 2022 and future)
     import the auditee name and address directly from SAM.gov 
(when the auditee's UEI is entered, their auditee name and address will 
be pulled from SAM.gov into Part I of the Form)
     update terminology, similar to the following, in order to 
be in compliance with the GREAT Act: change ``award'' to ``federal 
award''; ``CFDA'' to ``Assistance Listing''; ``sub-award'' to 
``subaward''; ``sub-recipient'' to ``subrecipient''
     clarify on-screen and/or Form instructions to improve data 
collection and accuracy, as part of the creation of an updated data 
collection and dissemination system

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 80,000 (40,000 auditees and 40,000 auditors).
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Annual Responses: 80,000 (40,000 auditees and 40,000 
auditors).
    Hours per Response: 100 hours for each of the 400 large respondents 
and 21 hours for each of the 79,600 small respondents.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,711,600.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on whether this collection 
of information is necessary; whether it will have practical utility; 
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the Regulatory Secretariat 
Division by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing [email protected]. Please
