## Summary

**Modernize and expand federal subaward reporting.** This bill would overhaul the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) subaward system to improve data accuracy, public access, and enforcement while easing reporting burdens on recipients. - Federal award recipients would face clearer rules. Prime recipients must report the first-tier subawards or certify that no subaward was made, and the system would collect the first two tiers of subawards so final recipients are visible. - The General Services Administration would get new oversight and deadlines. The GSA Inspector General would deliver a system review with recommendations within 180 days, and the Administrator would be required to act on fixes and plans to modernize reporting. - Agencies would follow a set rollout and reporting schedule. The Administrator would submit a modernization plan within 1 year and agencies would begin implementing it within 2 years, with biannual reports to Congress until the plan is fully implemented. The bill also calls for standardized rules, better public access, and enforcement measures.
