AGENCY:

The Department of Homeland
Security, Office of Chief Procurement
Officer, Acquisition Policy and
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). DHS previously published this
information collection request (ICR) in
the Federal Register on Monday,
October 6, 2014 at 79 FR 60178 for a 60day public comment period. No
comments were received by DHS. The
purpose of this notice is to allow
additional 30-days for public comments.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until January 22, 2015.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to OMB Desk Officer, Department of
Homeland Security and sent via
electronic mail to oira_submission@
omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–5806.
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
902 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.

SUMMARY:

PO 00000

Frm 00067

The
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR);
48 CFR Chapter 1 provides general
procedures on handling protests
submitted by contractors to federal
agencies. This regulation provides
detailed guidance for contractors doing
business with acquisition offices within
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) to implement the FAR. FAR Part
33.103, Protests, Disputes, and Appeals
prescribe policies and procedures for
filing protests and for processing
contract disputes and appeals.
DHS will not be asking for anything
outside of what is already required in
the FAR. Should anything outside the
FAR arise, DHS will submit a request for
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval. The prior information
collect request for OMB No. 1600–004
was approved through May 31, 2014 by
OMB in a Notice of OMB Action.
The information being collected will
be obtained from contractors as part of
their submissions whenever they file a
bid protest with the Department’s
Components. The information will be
used by DHS officials in deciding how
the protest should be resolved. Failure
to collect this information would result
in delayed resolution of agency protests.
According to Federal Procurement
Data System (FPDS), the number of
protest has increased each year over the
past two years in annual respondent and
burden hours. This increase in current
protest activity is not the result of a
deliberate program change, but from a
new estimate of actions that are not
controllable by the Federal government.
Although, the number of protest has
increased, there has not been any
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,
