SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection is associated
with the forms listed below and is
necessary to implement applicable parts
of the HSAR (48 CFR Chapter 30). There
are four forms under this collection of
information request that are used by
offerors, contractors, and the general
public to comply with requirements in
contracts awarded by DHS. The
information collected is used by
contracting officers to ensure
compliance with terms and conditions
of DHS contracts.
The forms are as follows:
1. DHS Form 0700–01, Cumulative
Claim and Reconciliation Statement
(see (HSAR) 48 CFR 3004.804–
507(a)(3)
2. DHS Form 0700–02, Contractor’s

administration. The information
collected includes the following:
• DHS Forms 0700–01, 0700–02 and
0700–03: Prepared by individuals,
contractors or contract employees prior
to contract closure to determine whether
there are excess funds that are available
for deobligation versus remaining
(payable) funds on contracts;
assignment or transfer of rights, title,
and interest to the Government; and
release from liability. The contracting
officer obtains the forms from the
contractor for closeout, as applicable.
Forms 0700–01 and 02 are mainly used
for calculating costs related to the
closeout of cost-reimbursement, timeand-materials, and labor-hour contracts;
and, Form 0700–03 is mainly used for
calculating costs related to the closeout
of cost-reimbursement, time-andmaterials, and labor-hour contracts but
can be used for all contract types.
• DHS Form 0700–04 is prepared by
contractor employees making claims for
unpaid wages. Contracting officers must
obtain this form from employees seeking
restitution under contracts to provide to
the Comptroller General. This form is
applicable to all contract types, both
opened and closed.
The purpose of the information
collected is to ensure proper closing of
physically complete contracts. 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 (GSA) and DOL. If this
information is not collected, DHS could
inadvertently violate statutory or
regulatory requirements and DHS’s
interests concerning inventions and
contractors’ claims would not be
protected.
The four DHS forms are available on
the DHS Homepage (https://
www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/
publications/CPO_HSAR_1_0.pdf).
These forms can be filled in
electronically and can be submitted via
email or facsimile to the specified
Government point of contact. Since the
responses must meet specific
timeframes, a centralized mailbox or
website would not be an expeditious or
practical method of submission. The use
of email or facsimile is the best solution
and is most commonly used in the
Government. The information requested
by these forms is required by the HSAR.
The forms are prescribed for use in the
closeout of applicable contracts and
during contract administration.
There are FAR and HSAR clauses that
require protection of rights in data and
proprietary information if requested and

designated by an offeror or contractor.
Additionally, disclosure or nondisclosure of information is handled in
accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act. There is no assurance
of confidentiality provided to the
respondents. No PIA is required as the
information is collected from DHS
personnel (contractors only). Although,
the DHS/ALL/PIA–006 General Contacts
lists PIA does provided basic coverage.
And technically, because this
information is not retrieved by personal
identifier, no system of records notice is
required. However, DHS/ALL–021 DHS
Contractors and Consultants provides
coverage for the collection of records on
DHS contractors and consultants, to
include resume and qualifying
employment information.
The burden estimates provided are
based upon contracts reported by DHS
and its Components to the Federal
Procurement Data System (FPDS) for
Fiscal Year 2016. No program changes
occurred and there were no changes to
the information being collected.
However, the burden was adjusted to
reflect an agency adjustment increase of
46,701 in the number of respondents
within DHS for Fiscal Year 2016, as well
as an increase in the average hourly
wage rate.
This is an Extension of a Currently
Approved Collection, 1600–0002. OMB
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.
