CHIPS for America Guide
• Have you registered for a SAM.gov account? Choose “Yes” or “No” from the dropdown menu to
indicate whether the potential applicant has applied for an account in the federal government’s
System for Award Management (SAM.gov). A prerequisite for any award by the Department is an
active registration in the System for Awards Management (SAM). Applicants are strongly
encouraged to begin the process of registering for SAM.gov as early as possible. While this
process ordinarily takes between three days and two weeks, in some circumstances it can take six
or more months to complete due to information verification requirements. CPO is unable to issue
a CHIPS Incentive to an entity that lacks an active SAM.gov registration.
• UEI # [Optional]: If the entity has already received a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) via SAM.gov,
enter the number. If the entity has not yet received a UEI, leave this box blank.

Burden Statement

A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a

valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 06930094. Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection. Public reporting for this

completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are
mandatory to be eligible for CHIPS Act Funding. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this information collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the
