Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Federal Application Requirements

    All potential agency applicants and subrecipients for federal funding must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM, formerly CCR) and have a Unique Entity Identifier Number (12-character identifier, known as the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) issued during the SAM registration). 

    Getting a Unique Entity Identifier Number

    Confirm that your agency has a current registration in SAM and a Unique Entity Identifier Number. The Unique Entity Identifier Number is issued as part of your SAM registration.  If not, begin the process early because of the time involved to register.  

    Registering with SAM

    Once you have all the necessary information, go to the SAM System. Registration should take 20-60 minutes to complete. Click “Create an Account” in the center of the page. Allow ten days after completing the forms to receive your valid registration.

    The requirements above are part of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Sub-Award Reporting System.
