Legislation Office, will submit the
following Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter
35).
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until January 14, 2011.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.1
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
questions about this Information
Collection Request should be forwarded

Officer, Acquisition Policy and
Legislation Office, DHS Attn.: Camara
Francis, Department of Homeland
Security, Office of the Chief
Procurement Officer, Room 3114,

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.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
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
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
