SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) subpart 4.15, and clause 52.204– 

11 requires contractors to report on use 

of Recovery Act funds. Contracting 

officers must include the new clause in 

solicitations and contracts funded in 

whole or in part with Recovery Act 

funds, except classified solicitations and 

contracts. Commercial item contracts 

and Commercially Available Off-TheShelf (COTS) item contracts will be 

covered, as well as actions under the 

simplified action threshold. 

One-Time Reporting, Compensation 

Requirements. A one-time reporting 

element for which the burden is 

imposed on certain prime contractors 

and first-tier subcontractors to publicly 

disclose the names and total 

compensation of each of the contractor’s 

or first-tier subcontractor’s five most 

highly compensated officers, for the 

calendar year in which the award was 

made. 

While Section 1512(c)(4) of the 

Recovery Act requires reporting on all 

FFATA data elements, including the 

compensation information, it limits the 

prime’s reporting responsibility to first 

tier subcontractors that meet the 

applicability requirements. The FAR 

clause requires this compensation 

disclosure for prime contractors as well 

because to exclude prime contractors 

while requiring disclosure for first-tier 

subcontractors would be unsupportable 

given the transparency goals of both 

FFATA and the Recovery Act. There are 

likely to be some prime contractors that 

already provide public access to the 

compensation of senior executives 

through periodic reports filed under 

section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 or section 6104 of 

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. For 

purposes of this analysis, the 

Government estimates that 5 percent of 

prime contractors already provide such 

public access. There are also likely to be 

some first-tier subcontractors that do not 

meet either of the revenue thresholds for 

applicability. For purposes of this 

analysis, the Government estimates that 

5 percent of first-tier subcontractors will 

not have to disclose compensation 

information because they do not meet 

the revenue thresholds.
