A. Purpose
The U.S. Government conducts
criminal checks to establish that
applicants or incumbents working for
the Government under contract may
have unescorted access to GSAcontrolled facilities. GSA will use the
Temporary Contractor Information
Worksheet and the FBI Form FD–258
Fingerprint Card to conduct an FBI
National Criminal History Check
(NCHC) for each temporary contractor
(working on contract for six (6) months
or less and require physical access only)
to determine eligibility to work on GSA
contracts including those awarded
under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law
111–5). GSA is anticipating a large
influx in temporary contractors due to
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Guidance M–05–24 for
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD) 12 authorizes Federal
departments and agencies to ensure that
temporary contractors have limited/
controlled access to facilities and
information systems. GSA Directive CIO
P 2181.1 Homeland Security
Presidential Directive-12 Personal
Identity Verification and Credentialing
(available at http://www.gsa.gov/
hspd12) states that GSA temporary
contractors must undergo a minimum of
an FBI National Criminal History Check
(NCHC) to receive unescorted physical
access. Temporary contractors’ Social
Security Number is needed to keep
records accurate, because other people
may have the same name and birth date.
Executive Order 9397 Numbering
System for Federal Accounts Relating to
Individual Persons also allows Federal
agencies to use this number to help
identify individuals in agency records.
GSA describes how information will be
maintained in the Privacy Act system of
record notice published in the Federal
Register at 73 FR 35690 on June 24,
2008.
This is a request to collect new
information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authorized by section 319C–2 of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as
amended by the Pandemic and AllHazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA)
(Pub. L. 109–417), the HPP is a
cooperative agreement program funded
and administered by the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and

improve surge capacity and enhance
community and hospital preparedness
for public health emergencies. Currently

50 States; the District of Columbia; the
three metropolitan areas of New York
City, Los Angeles County and Chicago;
the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and
the Northern Mariana Islands; the
territories of American Samoa, Guam
and the U.S. Virgin Islands; the

adjustment for population. PAHPA

A. Purpose

[OMB Control No. 9000–0067]

22931

Incentive contracts are normally used
when a firm fixed-price contract is not
appropriate and the required supplies or
services can be acquired at lower costs,
and sometimes with improved delivery
or technical performance, by relating the
amount of profit or fee payable under
the contract to the contractor’s
performance.
The information required periodically
from the contractor, such as cost of work
already performed, estimated costs of
further performance necessary to
complete all work, total contract price
for supplies or services accepted by the
Government for which final prices have
been established, and estimated costs
allocable to supplies or services
accepted by the Government and for
which final prices have not been
established, is needed to negotiate the
final prices of incentive-related items
and services.
The contracting officer evaluates the
information received to determine the
contractor’s performance in meeting the
incentive target and the appropriate
price revision, if any, for the items or
services.
