Abstract: Section 872 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of 2009, Pub. L. 110-417, as amended by Pub. L. 111-212 (hereafter referred to as NDAA) requires that GSA establish and maintain a database of information regarding the integrity and performance of certain persons awarded Federal agency contracts and grants for use by Federal agency officials having authority over contracts and grants. The proposed implementing guidance for grants also would apply to cooperative agreements, as a matter of Government-wide policy. The database will cover any person awarded a Federal agency contract or grant in excess of $500,000, and any person awarded Federal agency contracts and grants valued at $10,000,000 in aggregate, if any information described below exists with respect to such person. Information in the database is to be updated semiannually. Recipients will first answer a has/has not question as to whether they are the recipient of an award in excess of $500,000.

Emergency Justfication: GSA is requesting OMBs emergency review and clearance of this new information collection requirement. An emergency clearance is desired to enable grant-making agencies and agencies that execute cooperative agreements to start collecting the information by October 1, 2010, which is the implementation date in the proposed guidance, Guidance for Reporting and Use of Information Concerning Recipient Integrity and Performance, Federal Register, Vol. 75, No. 32, February 18, 2010.
