This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov. The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov. The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Purpose Executive Order 14400, Urgent National Action to Save College Sports, directs the Administrator of General Services to propose a regular collection of information to evaluate compliance with the rules covered in the E.O. to aid contract and grantmaking agencies' compliance with the E.O. starting August 1, 2026. The System for Award Management (SAM or SAM.gov) serves as the primary registration and award management database for the U.S. Federal Government. 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 personnel to facilitate their award making and payments. Additionally, SAM shares its data with Federal Government procurement, financial assistance, and electronic business systems. Both current and potential Colleges and Universities are required to register in SAM pursuant to Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to receive specified Federal awards. Entities complete a registration process to provide basic information relevant to procurement and Federal financial assistance transactions. These entities may also report various information applicable to the federal award process in SAM.gov. Registered entities identified as Higher Education Institutions during the SAM entity registration and meeting the $20M (adjusted for inflation) threshold for intercollegiate athletics activities revenue will certify their compliance quarterly with the terms within E.O. 14400. This certification information will be available for Federal officials for contract and grantmaking activities and compliance verification. B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 11,720. Responses per Respondent: 1-5 (1 for screening responses and 4 for certification responses). Total Annual Responses: 14,620 (11,720 screening responses and 2,900 certification responses). Hours per Response: 0.25 for screening response and 0.5 for certification response. Total Burden Hours: $241,557 ($161,589.50 for screening response and $79,967.50 for certification response). C. Public Comments Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary, whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
