SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DHS
collects 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.), the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR chapter 1),
and the HSAR (48 CFR chapter 30).
Respondents submit information based
on the terms of the contract; the
instructions in the contract deliverables
mandatory reporting requirements; and
correspondence from acquisition
personnel requesting post-award
contract information. The least active
contracts and the simplest contracts will
have little to no data to report. The most
active and complex contracts, however,
will contain more reporting
requirements. DHS believes that some of
this information is already readily

available as part of a company’s

businesses use computers to compile
the data. However, a significant amount
of time is spent correlating information
to specific contract actions and
gathering information for more complex
contract actions.

• 3052.223–70 Removal or disposal of

solicitations and contracts involving the
removal or disposal of hazardous waste
material.) Contractors will have to
provide evidence of licenses and
permits to perform hazardous substance

• 3052.223–90 Accident and Fire
Reporting (USCG). (Included in
solicitations and contracts involving the
removal of hazardous waste material.)

involving fire or accidents at a worksite.
Contractors may provide this
information using a state, private
insurance carrier, or Contractor accident
report form.
• 3052.228–91 Loss of or Damage to
Leased Aircraft (USCG). (Included in
any contract for the lease of an aircraft.)
In the event of loss of or damage to an
aircraft, the Government shall be
subrogated to all rights of recovery by
the Contractor against third parties for
such loss or damage and the Contractor
must promptly assign such rights in
writing to the Government.
• 3052.228–93 Risk and Indemnities
(USCG). (Included in any contract for
the lease of an aircraft.) Requires the
contractor to provide the Government
with evidence of insurance.
• 3052.235.70 Dissemination of
Information-Educational Institutions.
(Included in contracts with educational
institutions for research that are not
sensitive or classified.) Contractors must
provide advanced electronic copies of
articles to the Government covering the
results of research it plans to publish.
The information requested is used by
the Government’s contracting officers
and other acquisition personnel,
including technical and legal staff, for
various reasons such as determining the
suitability of contractor personnel
accessing DHS facilities; to ensure no
organizational conflicts of interest exist
during the performance of contracts; to
ensure the contractor maintains
applicable licenses and permits for the
removal and disposal of hazardous
materials; and to otherwise ensure firms
are performing in the Government’s best
interest. Failure to collect this
information would adversely affect the
quality of products and services DHS
receives from contractors. For example,
potentially, contractors who are lead
system integrators could acquire direct
financial interests in major systems the
contractors are contracted to procure,
which would compromise the integrity
of acquisitions for the Department. In
addition, contractors who own, control
or operate a business providing
protective guard services could possess

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:12 Apr 03, 2018

Jkt 244001

felony convictions during the
performance of contracts, putting the
Department at risk. Furthermore,
contractors could change key personnel
during the performance of contracts and
use less experienced or less qualified
personnel to reduce costs, which would
adversely affect DHS’s fulfillment of its
mission requirements.
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.
With Government-wide implementation
of e-Government initiatives, it is
commonplace within many of DHS’s
Components for submissions to be
electronic.
Disclosure/non-disclosure of
information is handled in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), other disclosure statutes, and
Federal and agency acquisition
regulations.
The burden estimates are based upon
definitive contract award data reported
by DHS and its Components to the
Federal Procurement Data System
(FPDS) for Fiscal Year 2016. No program
changes occurred, however the burden
was adjusted to reflect an increase in the
number of respondents within DHS for
Fiscal Year 2016, as well as an increase
in the average hourly wage rate. The
decrease in the previously reported
average burden per response (from 14
hours to 6.2 hours) is as a result of the
addition of clauses to the burden hour
analysis with relatively low burden
hours.
This is an extension of a currently
approved collection, 1600–0003. 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.
