Paperwork Reduction Act and Privacy Act Statement - Registration

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT AND PRIVACY ACT
STATEMENT-- REGISTRATION
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The
OMB control number for this collection is 0430-0002 (expiration 3/31/2013).
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3), enacted into law by Section 3 of the Privacy Act of 1974
(Pub. L. 93-579), the following statement is furnished to individuals who supply information to
the FederalReporting.gov Recipient Registration System (FRRS). This information is
maintained in a system of records designated as RATB-10, described at 74 Fed. Reg. 40,155
(Aug. 11, 2009). Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L.
111-5), the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (Board) will use the information
to assist with the process of mandatory reporting on the use of covered funds. Specifically,
FRRS records will be used to facilitate registering FederalReporting.gov system users,
issuing a username and password, and subsequently, verifying an individual's identity as
he/she seeks to gain routine access to his/her account. The system has secondary uses that
include: using the established username to facilitate tracking service calls or e-mails from the
user in the event that there is a change in registration status or a problem the user has with
FederalReporting.gov; facilitating the retrieval of user actions (e.g., historical submissions and
help tickets) and events while on the FederalReporting.gov system. The records may also be
subsequently used for auditing or other internal purposes of the Board, including but not
limited to instances where enforcement of the conditions of using FederalReporting.gov are
necessary; investigation of possible fraud involving a registered user; litigation purposes
related to information reported to the Board; contacting the individual in the event of a system
modification; a change to FederalReporting.gov; or modification, revocation or termination of
user's access privileges to FederalReporting.gov.
The Board may disclose information contained in a record in this system of records under the
routine uses listed in the Federal Register (see 74 Fed. Reg. 40,155, 40,157-58) without the
consent of the individual if the disclosure is compatible with the purposes for which the record
was collected.
If you do not register through FRRS, you will not be permitted access to the
FederalReporting.gov system in order to submit a Section 1512 report. Recipients who have
failed to submit a Section 1512 report as required by the terms of their award are considered
to be non-compliant. Non-compliant recipients may be subject to federal action, including but
not limited to the termination of federal funding.
