30-day Federal Register Notice

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 221 / Monday, November 16, 2020 / Notices
and 48 CFR Chapter 1 provide general
procedures on handling protests
submitted by contractors to Federal
agencies. FAR Part 33.103, Protests,
Disputes and Appeals, prescribes
policies and procedures for filing
protests and for processing contract
disputes and appeals. While the FAR
prescribes the procedures to be followed
for protests to the agency, it allows
agencies to determine the method of
receipt. DHS will utilize electronic
mediums (email or facsimile) for
collection of information and will not
prescribe a format or require more
information than what is already
required in the FAR. If DHS determines
there is a need to collect additional
information outside of what is required
in the FAR, DHS will submit a request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval.
The prior information collection
request for OMB No. 1600–0004 was
approved through November 30, 2021
by OMB in a Notice of OMB Action.
This justification supports a request for
an extension of the approval.
The information being collected will
be obtained from contractors as part of
their submissions whenever they file a
bid protest with DHS. 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 protests.
Agency protest information is
contained in each individual
solicitation document, and provides the
specified contracting officer’s name,
email, and mailing address that the
contractors would use to submit its
response. The FAR does not specify the
format in which the contractor should
submit protest information. However,
most contractors use computers to
prepare protest materials and submit
time sensitive responses electronically
(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 a practical method
of submission. Submission of protest
information through contracting
officers’ email or through facsimile are
the best methods to use to document
receipt of protest information, and are
the methods most commonly used in
the Government protest process.
This information collection may
involve small business contractors,
depending on the particular transaction.
The burden applied to small businesses
is minimal and consistent with the goals
of achieving timely resolution of agency
protests.

This information is collected only
when contractors choose to file a
protest. The information is requested
from contractors so that the Government
will be able to evaluate protests
effectively and provide prompt
resolution of issues in dispute when
contractors file agency level claims.
DHS/ALL/PIA–006 General Contact
Lists covers the basic contact
information that must be collected for
DHS to address these protests. The other
information collected will typically
pertain to the contract itself, and not
individuals. However, all information
for this information collection is
submitted voluntarily. Technically,
because this information is not retrieved
by personal identifier, no SORN 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. There is no
assurance of confidentiality provided to
the respondents.
The burden estimates provided are
based upon reports of protest activities
submitted to the GAO or the Court of
Federal Claims in Fiscal Year 2019. No
program changes have occurred or
changes to the information being
collected, however, the burden was
adjusted to reflect an agency adjustment
decrease of 6 respondents within DHS
for Fiscal Year 2019, as well as an
increase in the average hourly wage rate.
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.

Materials Act of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 601 and

and to grant free-use permits to
government agencies and nonprofit
organizations. To obtain a sales contract
or free-use permit, an applicant must
submit information to identify
themselves, the location of the site, and
the proposed method to remove the
mineral materials. The BLM uses the

disposal, determine whether the request
to dispose of mineral materials meets
statutory requirements, and whether to
approve the request.

Disposal (43 CFR part 3600).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0103.
