That officers' compensation requirement was in the call for comments in April. If it is still there, I guess not enough people wrote against it. Note that it was not among the list if items for the Prime Recipient, only for the Subs. I see too that not only will sub- awards, as we in universities call them, be reported, but also purchase orders for goods and supplies. There is still a requirement for CCR information for Subs even though some 300 responders complained about this for the FFATA sub award data. I wonder why the Feds bother with the "calls for comments" when they never accept them. Here is the text from the Call for Comments on officers. Provide the names and highly compensated total compensation of officers of the the five most highly entity: the names compensated officers of and total the subrecipient entity compensation. if-- (1) the recipient in its preceding fiscal year received-- (a) 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues in Federal awards; and (b) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal awards; and (2) the public does not have access to information about the compensation of the senior executives of the entity through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26 USC Sec. 6104]. ``Total compensation'' means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive during the subrecipient's past fiscal year of the following (for more information see 17 CFR 229.402(c)(2)): (i). Salary and bonus. (ii). Awards of stock, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Use the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year in accordance with FAS 123R. (iii). Earnings for services under nonequity incentive plans. Does not include group life, health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate in favor of executives, and are available generally to all salaried employees. (iv). Change in pension value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit and actuarial pension plans. (v). Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which are not taxqualified. (vi). Other compensation. For example, severance, termination payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites or property if the value for the executive exceeds $10,000.
