FAR Case 2015-024, Public Disclosure
of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals--Representation,
adds a new annual representation for vendors to indicate if and
where they publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions and
greenhouse gas reduction goals or targets. Public disclosure of
greenhouse gas emission management is increasingly becoming
standard practice in many industries, because an inventory of this
information provides insight into operations, spurs innovation, and
helps identify opportunities for efficiency and savings, outcomes
which can translate into both environmental and financial
benefits.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
