to comply with HIPAA or any other law applicable to Confidential Information.

Re: Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Reporting Guidance
Dear Mr. Featherston The University of Texas at Austin:
This letter provides background information regarding the Federal Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act (FFATA) and outlines the requirements for contactors or awardees receiving
federal funding.
2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 170 states that any person or entity receiving contract or
grant funds directly from the federal government must report certain information regarding
those funds through the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward
Reporting System (FSRS). FFATA requires the following:
• Subrecipient contract awards equal to or greater than $30,000 must be reported.
• Prime awardees (those agencies or entities receiving funds directly from the federal
government) must report certain information regarding those funds.
• Compensation of the top five executives within an organization must be reported as well, if
certain criteria apply.
You are receiving this letter because our records identify you as a subrecipient under a Health
and Human Services Commission (HHSC) contract award. HHSC is the prime awardee for
most of the federal awards that you receive from HHSC. As a result, HHSC is responsible for
reporting sub-award information to the federal government via the FSRS website. To ensure
information is accurately reported, subrecipients (sub-awardees) must provide HHSC with all
required information.
If a new award is initially below $30,000, but subsequent contract modifications result in a
total award equal to or greater than $30,000, the award will be subject to FFATA reporting
requirements as of the date the award exceeds $30,000. To comply with the FFATA reporting
requirements, HHSC is requesting that your organization completes Attachment B, FFATA
Certifcation Form. The FFATA Certification Form identifes the applicability of the FFATA
requirements to your organization.

2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 states that subrecipients are required to obtain a Unique
Entity Identi�er (UEI) in order to receive federal subawards. If your organization does not
have a UEI, follow the instructions outlined in Attachment A, How to Obtain a Unique Entity
Identifer. The UEI must be obtained via the System for Award Management Registration and
provided to HHSC. Please refer to Attachment A for additional guidelines regarding the UEI
requirement.
If your organization meets the FFATA reporting requirements, provide the compensation
amount and names of your organization's top five highly compensated officers or senior
executives on Attachment B, FFATA Certifcation Form. Only one certification per state fiscal
year is required even if your organization has multiple contracts with HHSC.
Summary of Information Requested:
1) Register your organization for a Unique Entity Identifer (Attachment A) if not
already done; and
2) Complete and return the FFATA Certification Form (Attachment B).
The required FFATA Certification Form and the FFATA Reporting Template must be
completed and returned to HHSC by 07/27/2022. If you have any questions regarding this
correspondence, contact Contract Management Branch of the
Substance Use Disorder Contract Management Unit by email at
SubstanceAbuse.Contracts@hhsc.state.tx.us or by phone at 512-206-5064.

How to Obtain a Unique Entity Identifier
By April of 2022, the federal government will stop using the DUNS number to uniquely identify entities. At that point,
subrecipients receiving federal awards from HHSC will use a Unique Entity Identifier created in SAM.gov. The Unique Entity
Identifier is provided to entities who request to only get a Unique Entity Identifier and to entities who complete an entity
registration.
The process of obtaining a Unique Entity Identifier will depend on the date your entity has received a federal award from HHSC.
Your entity has received a federal award from HHSC before April of 2022
Before April of 2022, the DUNS number is issued by Dun & Bradstreet is the authoritative entity identifier used by the federal
government. You need to get a DUNS Number first before you can request a Unique Entity Identifier.
Requesting a DUNS Number
1) To verify an existing DUNS number or to request a new DUNS number, go to D&B D-U-N-S Request Service for US Federal
Government Contractors and Assistance Awardees.
2) You will need the following information to obtain a DUNS number:
a. Legal name of organization;
b. Doing business as (DBA) or other name by which your organization is commonly known or recognized;
c. Headquarters name and organization address;
d. Name of Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/organization owner;
e. Business structure of the organization (corporation, partnership, proprietorship);
f. Year the organization started;
g. Primary type of business; and
h. Total number of employees (full and part time).
Note: HHSC does not have the technical expertise to assist contractors in applying for a DUNS number. All questions regarding
the DUNS number should be directed to Dun & Bradstreet.
Requesting a Unique Entity Identifier
You can get a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) by going to SAM.gov and request to only get a Unique Entity Identifier.

AGREEMENT DATE: 5/8/2020
SECTION II: SPECIAL REMARKS
TREATMENT OF FRINGE BENEFITS:
The fringe benefits are specifically identified to each employee and are
charged individually as direct costs. The directly claimed fringe benefits
are listed below. Effective 09/O1/2018, the fringe benefits are charged using
the rate(s) listed in the Fringe Benefits Section of this Agreement. The
fringe benefits included in the rate(s) are listed below.
OFF-CAMPUS DEFINITION: For all activities performed in facilities not owned
by the institution and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s)
the off-campus rate will apply. Grants or contracts will not be subject to
more than one F&A cost rate. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-
campus, the off-campus rate will apply to the entire project.
*TREATMENT OF PAID ABSENCES:
Vacation, holiday, sick leave pay and other paid absences are included in
salaries and wages and are claimed on grants, contracts and other agreements
as part of the normal cost for salaries and wages. Separate claims for the
costs of these paid absences are not made. ARL uses an absence time pool to
pay for vacation, holiday, sick leave, and other paid absences. This pool is
funded by a monthly charge to ARL grants, contracts and other agreements
based on the historical experience of expense for absent time as a percent of
salaries and wages.
FRINGE BENEFITS:
FICA, Unemployment Insurance, Retirement, Health Insurance, Worker's
Compensation, Life Insurance, Unemployment Insurance, Termination Accrued
Leave, Post Retirement Health Benefits
*This Rate Agreement reflects new Fringe Benefits Rates only.*
The next fringe benefit rate proposal, based on actual costs for the fiscal
year ending 08/31/2020, is due in our office by 02/28/2021.
The next indirect cost rate proposal, based on actual costs for the fiscal
year ending 08/31/2021, is due in our office by 02/28/2022.

AGREEMENT DATE: 5/8/2020
SECTION III: GENERAL
A. LIMITATIONS:
The rates in this Agreement are subject to any statutory or administrative limitations and apply to a given grant,
contract or other agreement only to the extent that funds are available. Acceptance of the rates is subject to the
following conditions: (1) Only costs incurred by the organization were included in its facilities and administrative cost
pools as finally accepted: such costs are legal obligations of the organization and are allowable under the governing cost
principles; (2) The same costs that have been treated as facilities and administrative costs are not claimed as direct
costs; (3) Similar types of costs have been accorded consistent accounting treatment; and �4y The information provided by
the organization which was used to establish the rates is not later found to be materially incomplete or inaccurate by the
Federal Government. In such situations the rate(s) would be subject to renegotiation at the discretion of the Federal
Government.
B. ACCOUNTING CHANGES:
This Agreement is based on the accounting system purported by the organization to be in effect during the Agreement
period. Changes to the method of accounting for costs which aEfect the amount of reimbursement resulting fram the use of
this Agreement require prior approval of the authorized representative of the cognizant agency. Such changes include, but
are not limited to, changes in the charging of a particular type of cost from facilities and administrative to direct.
Failure to obtain approval may result in cost disallowances.
C. FIXED RATES:
If a fixed rate is in this Agreement, it is based on an estimate of the costs for the period covered by the rate. When the
actual costs for this period are determined, an adjustment will be made to a rate of a future year(s) to compensate for
the difference between the costs used to establish the fixed rate and actual costs.
D. USE BY OTHER FEDERAL AGENCI&S:
The rates in this Agreement were approved in accordance with the authority in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 200 (2 CFR 200), and should be applied to grants, contracts and other agreements covered by 2 CFR 200, subject to any
limitations in A above. The organization may provide copies of the Agreement to other Federal Agencies to give them early
notification of the Agreement.
E. OTHER:
If any Federal contract, grant or other agreement is reimbursing facilities and administrative costs by a means other than
the approved rate(s) in this Agreement, the organization should (1) credit such costs to the affected programs, and (2)
apply the approved rate(s) to the appropriate base to identify the proper amount of facilities and administrative costs
allocable to these programs.
