Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Notices

i. Each civil or criminal proceeding,
or any administrative proceeding in
connection with the award or
performance of a contract or grant with
the Federal government during the
period when the proceeding results in
one or more of the following:
A. A criminal proceeding resulting in
a conviction.
B. A civil proceeding resulting in a
finding of fault and liability that results
in payment of a monetary amount of
$5,000 or more.
C. An administrative proceeding
resulting in a finding of fault and
liability that results in payment of a
monetary fine or penalty of $5,000 or
more; or payment of a monetary
reimbursement, restitution, or damages
in excess of $100,000.
D. A disposition of the matter by
consent or compromise with an
acknowledgment of fault by the covered
person if the proceeding could have led
to any of the outcomes specified in
subparagraphs A, B, or C above.
ii. Each Federal contract and grant
awarded to the person that was
terminated due to default.
iii. Each Federal administrative
agreement entered into between the
person and the Federal Government to
resolve a suspension or debarment
proceeding.
iv. Each final finding by a Federal
official that the person has been
determined not to be a responsible
source pursuant to subparagraph (C) or
(D) of section 4(7) of the OFPP Act (41
U.S.C.403(7)).
v. Such other information as shall be
provided for purposes of this section in
the FAR.
vi. To the maximum extent practical,
information similar to that mentioned in
subparagraphs I, ii, and iii, in
connection with the award or
performance of a contract or grant with
a State Government.
A new solicitation provision has been
developed for inclusion in solicitations
expected to result in a contract of
$500,000 or more. A new provision
(FAR 52.209–XX, Information Regarding
Responsibility Matters) will require
each offeror to check a box indicating
whether it has, or has not, current
Federal Government contracts and
grants totaling $10,000,000 or more. If
the offeror checks the box indicating
that it does not currently have contracts
and grants of at least $10,000,000, that
is the extent of the information
collection. If, however, the offeror
checks the box indicating that it does
currently have contracts and grants of at
least $10,000,000, and the offeror has
not updated its Central Contactor
Registration (CCR) database in the last

six months, then the offeror is obligated
to go to the CCR web site and enter the
following information:
‘‘52.209–XX (c)
(1) (i) Whether the offeror, and/or any of
its principals, has or has not, within the last
five years, been involved in a civil or
criminal proceeding, or any administrative
proceeding, in connection with the award to
or performance by the offeror of a Federal or
State contract or grant, to the extent that such
proceeding resulted in any of the following
dispositions:
(A) In a criminal proceeding, a conviction.
(B) In a civil proceeding, a finding of fault
and liability that results in the payment of a
monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement,
restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more.
(C) In an administrative proceeding, a
finding of fault and liability that results in—
(1) The payment of a monetary fine or
penalty of $5,000 or more; or
(2) The payment of a reimbursement,
restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000.
(D) To the maximum extent practicable and
consistent with applicable laws and
regulations, in a criminal, civil, or
administrative proceeding, a disposition of
the matter by consent or compromise with an
acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if
the proceeding could have led to any of the
outcomes specified in subparagraphs (i), (ii),
or (iii).
(ii) If the offeror checked ‘‘has’’ to the
information request in (b)(1)(i), the offeror
shall provide the requested information with
regard to each occurrence.’’

In addition, the final rule includes a
new clause that requires Contractors to
semi-annually update of the information
in Federal Awardee Performance and
Integrity Information Systems (FAPIIS).
The final rule requires for every
solicitation of $500,000 or more that the
offeror respond whether it has, or has
not, current contracts and grants under
performance that total at least
$10,000,000. Only if the offeror
responds affirmatively is there any
further information collection
requirement. Given that the amount of
current Federal contracts and grants is
basic knowledge for any firm, the
estimated number of hours for this
initial response is 0.1 hours. Using data
from the Federal Procurement Data
System—Next Generation (FPDS–NG),
we estimate that there will be
approximately 12,000–14,000 contracts
over $500,000 each year. Estimating
between five and six responses to each
solicitation, then believe there will be
80,000 responses annually to the ‘‘has/
has not’’ question.
We expect that 5,000 contractors will
answer the first question affirmatively
and then will have to enter data into the
website. We have used a burden
estimate of 0.5 hours to enter the
company’s data into the website. This
time estimate does not include the time

PO 00000

Frm 00070

necessary to maintain the company’s
information internally. Most large
businesses and some small businesses
probably have established systems to
track compliance. At this time, all or
most Government contractors have
entered relevant company data in the
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) in
accordance with another information
collection requirement. Therefore, the
estimate includes an average of 100
hours per year for recordkeeping for
each of the 5,000 respondents to the
request for additional information, for a
total of 500,000 annual recordkeeping
hours.
