System for Award Management (SAM)
currently collects, validates, stores, and disseminates data in
support of agency acquisition and financial assistance missions.
SAM validates entity registration information and electronically
shares the secure and encrypted data with Federal agency finance
offices to facilitate paperless payments through electronic funds
transfer. Additionally, SAM shares the data with Federal Government
procurement, grant, and electronic business systems.
This is a revision of a
currently approved public information collection based on actual
active grant registrants as of February 2, 2018 as reported in SAM.
2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter I, and Part 25 mandates that the System
for Award Management (SAM) serve as the repository for standard
information about applicants and recipients. The burden is relative
to the number of registrants for grant awards, which was as of
February 2018, 143,334 entities, while when calculated for the
previous burden there were 177,960 estimated registrants for
grants. The reduction in respondents is due to the improved
calculations based on using actual grant registrants in SAM. The
increase in burden hours is due to the additional registration time
for new users, and for existing users to review and update
registration information.
