SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Components and the Office of the
Chief Procurement Officer collect
information, when necessary in
administering public contracts for
supplies and services. The information
is used to determine compliance with
contract terms placed in the contract as
authorized by the Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act (41 U.S.C.
251 et seq.) and the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR chapter 1).
Source selection documentation,
Government estimate of contract price,
contract modifications, Small Business
Administration Certificate of
Competency, Justification and
approvals, determination and finding
are examples of the kinds of post-award
contract information that is collected are
identified in pertinent sections of FAR
4.803, Contents of contract files. The
complete FAR can be viewed on the
Internet at http://www.arnet.gov.
The information requested is used by
the Government’s contracting officers
and other acquisition personnel,
including technical and legal staffs to
determine contractor’s technical and
management progress and controls of
the firms holding public contracts to
determine if the firms are making
appropriate progress in work agreed to
and are otherwise performing in the
Government’s best interest. Payment of
a firm’s invoices (or non-payment) and/
or corrective action may result from
such reviews. If this information were
not collected, the Government would
jeopardize its operations by failing to
exercise its responsibility for a major
internal control in its contracts’ postaward phase. Many sources of the
requested information use automated
word processing systems, databases,
spreadsheets, project management and
other commercial software to facilitate
preparation of material to be submitted,
particularly in the submission of
periodic (e.g., monthly) reports that
describe contractor performance and
progress of work . With
Governmentwide implementation of eGovernment initiatives, it is
commonplace within many of DHS’s
Components for submissions to be
electronic.
According to Federal Procurement
Data System-Next Generation (FPDS–
NG) the number of Post-Contract award
information has increased each year
over the past two years in annual

respondent and burden hours. This
increase is the result of a new estimate
of awards, which contributes to the
Post-Award information that is
collected. This collection was
previously approved by OMB on
January 26, 2009. This collection will be
submitted to OMB for review to request
approval to extend the collection past
the current expiration date of January
31, 2011. There are no proposed
changes to the information being
collected, instructions, frequency of the
collection or the use of the information
being collected.

Information Collection Requirement
1652–0003; Security Programs for
Aircraft Operators, 49 CFR part 1544.
The information collected is used to
determine compliance with 49 CFR part
1544 and to ensure passenger safety by
monitoring aircraft operator security
procedures. TSA is seeking to renew its
OMB control number, 1652–0003,
Aircraft Operator Security. TSA has
implemented aircraft operator security
standards at 49 CFR part 1544 to require
each aircraft operator to which this part
applies to adopt and carry out a security
program. These TSA-approved security
programs establish procedures that
aircraft operators must carry out to
protect persons and property traveling
on flights provided by the aircraft
operator against acts of criminal
violence, aircraft piracy, and the
introduction of explosives, incendiaries,
or weapons aboard an aircraft.
This information collection is
mandatory for aircraft operators. As part
of their security programs, affected
aircraft operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions set forth in 49 CFR
part 1544. This regulation also requires
affected aircraft operators to submit
security program amendments to TSA
when applicable and to make their
