A clause prescribed at 48 CFR 23.1005
titled "Pollution Prevention and Right-to-Know Information"
requires contractors performing work in Federal facilities to
provide all information needed by the Federal facility to comply
with Executive Order 12856 and 13148.
This request updates a
currently approved information collection requirement. The previous
supporting statement, and subsequent approval, was based upon 1994
Environmental Protection Agency TRI, PPA, and other EPCRA reporting
data. This supporting statement is based on year 2000 (most recent
available information) Environmental Protection Agency data. This
supporting statement also adds additional information for public
burden attributable to retrieval of EMS and FCA data due to new
E.O. 13148 requirements (which did not exist at the time of the
last approval).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
