This collection is mandated by the
Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (PL 104-156) and the Uniform
Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), which require non-Federal entities
expending $1,000,000 or more in Federal awards during their fiscal
period to have a single audit conducted and to submit the resulting
reporting package and Form SF-SAC to the FAC. All data elements are
collected electronically through the FAC web application. After the
end of the fiscal period, a senior representative of the auditee
submits and certifies the required information, and the auditor
enters and certifies the auditor-specific components. These
submissions are necessary for Federal agencies and pass-through
entities to perform their statutory oversight responsibilities,
assess risk, and monitor compliance with Federal
requirements.
The estimated number of
respondents used to calculate the burden hours has increased since
the previous OMB approval due to an increase in unique annual audit
submissions, (mainly small auditee).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
