2. Recipient Reporting to Meet the Requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended.

a. Prime Grant Awardee Reporting. Prime recipients of HUD financial assistance are required to report certain subawards in the federal government-wide website www.fsrs.gov or its successor system.

Starting with awards made October 1, 2010 prime financial assistance awardees receiving funds directly from HUD are required to report subawards and executive compensation information both for the prime award and subaward recipients, including awards made as pass-through awards or awards to vendors, if (1) the initial prime grant award is $25,000 or greater, or the cumulative prime grant award will be $25,000 or greater if funded incrementally as directed by HUD in accordance with OMB guidance; and (2) the sub-award is $25,000 or greater, or the cumulative subaward will be $25,000 or greater. For reportable subawards, if executive compensation reporting is required and subaward recipients’ executive compensation is reported through the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system, the prime recipient is not required to report this information. The reporting of award and subaward information is in accordance with the requirements of Federal Financial Assistance Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended by section 6202 of Public Law 110-252, hereafter referred to as the “Transparency

Act” and OMB Guidance issued to the Federal agencies on September 14, 2010 (75 FR 55669) and in OMB Policy guidance. The prime awardee will have until the end of the month plus one additional month after a subaward or pass-through award is obligated to fulfill the reporting requirement. Prime recipients are required to report the following information for applicable subawards. This information will be displayed on a public government website pursuant to the

Transparency Act.

(1) Name of entity receiving award;

(2) Amount of award

(3) Funding agency;

(4) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for contracts/CFDA program for financial assistance awards;

(5) Program source;

(6) Award title descriptive of the purpose of the funding action;

(7) Location of the entity (including Congressional district);

(8) Place of Performance (including Congressional district);

(9) Unique identifier of the entity and its parent; and

(10) Total compensation and names of top five executives.

http://www.fsrs.gov/

For the purposes of reporting into the FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS) reporting site, the unique identifier is the DUN and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System

(DUNS) number the entity has obtained from Dun and Bradstreet, and for Prime awardees the

DUNS number registered in the Central Contractor Registration as required by HUD regulation

24 CFR 5.1004.

(b) Prime Grant

Awardee Executive Compensation Reporting. Prime awardees must also report in the government-wide website the total compensation and names of the top five executives in the prime awardee organization if:

(1) More than 80% of the annual gross revenues are from the Federal government, and those revenues are greater than $25 million annually; and

(2) Compensation information is not readily available through reporting to the Securities

Exchange Commission (SEC.)

(c) Subaward Executive Compensation Reporting. Prime grant awardees must also report in the government-wide website the total compensation and names of the top five executives in the subawardees if:

(1) More than 80% of the annual gross revenues are from the Federal government, and those revenues are greater than $25 million annually; and

(2) This required compensation information is not readily available through reporting to the

Securities Exchange Commission (SEC.) For applicable subawards, if executive compensation reporting is required and subaward recipients’ executive compensation is reported through the

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system, the prime recipient is not required to report this information.

(d) Transparency Act Reporting Exemptions. The Transparency Act exempts any sub-awards less than $25,000 made to individuals and any sub-awards less than $25,000 made to an entity whose annual expenditures are less than $300,000. Subawards with a cumulative total of

$25,000 or greater are subject to subaward reporting beginning the date the subaward total award amount reaches $25,000. The Transparency Act also prohibits reporting of any classified information. Any other exemptions to the requirements must be approved by the Office of

Management and Budget.

3. Compliance with Section 872 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Pub. L. 110-417), hereafter referred to as “Section 872” Section 872 requires the establishment of a government-wide data system – the Federal Awardee

Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) - to contain information related to the integrity and performance of entities awarded federal financial assistance and making use of the information by federal officials in making awards. OMB is in the process of issuing regulations regarding federal agency implementation of section 872 requirements. A technical correction to this General section may be issued when such regulations are promulgated.

HUD anticipates that the terms and conditions to its FY2012 awards will contain requirements related to meeting FFATA and Section 872 requirements.
