2. Evaluate the accuracy of the

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection under the HSAR
is necessary in order to implement
applicable parts of the FAR (48 CFR).
The four forms under this collection of
information request are used by offerors,
contractors, and the general public to
comply with requirements in contracts
awarded by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). The four
forms are DHS Form 0700–01,
Cumulative Claim and Reconciliation
Statement; DHS Form 0700–02,
Contractor’s Assignment of Refund,
Rebates, Credits and Other Amounts;
DHS Form 0700–03, Contractor’s
Release; and DHS Form 0700–04,
Employee Claim for Wage Restitution.
These four forms will be used by
contractors and/or contract employees
during contract administration. The
information will be used by DHS
contracting officers to ensure
compliance with terms and conditions
of DHS contracts and to complete
reports required by other Federal
agencies such as the General Services
Administration and the Department of
Labor. If this information is not
collected, the DHS could inadvertently
violate statutory or regulatory
requirements and the DHS’s interest
concerning inventions and contractor’s
claims would not be protected. There
has been an increase in the estimated
annual burden hours previously
reported for this collection. An
adjustment in annual burden is
necessary at this time in the amount of

1534 actions and hours. The initial
annual burden was based on a lower
number of contract actions which
related to the fact that DHS was a new
agency with consolidated acquisition
procedures, processes, and policies.
Although, there is an increase in the
estimated burdened hours, there is no
change in the information being
collected.
