• 3052.247–70 F.o.b. Origin
Information (Required in solicitations as

The DHS Science and Technology
(S&T) Directorate issues BAAs soliciting
when white papers and proposals from
the public. DHS S&T evaluates white
papers and proposals received in
response to a DHS S&T BAA using the
evaluation criteria specified in the BAA
through a peer or scientific review
process in accordance with FAR
35.016(d). Unclassified white papers
and proposals are typically collected via
the DHS S&T BAA secure website,
while classified white papers and
proposals must be submitted via proper
classified courier or proper classified
mailing procedures as described in the
National Industrial Security Program
Operating Manual (NSPOM).
Federal agencies with an annual
extramural research and development
(R&D) budget exceeding $100 million
are required to participate in the SBIR
Program. Similarly, Federal agencies
with an extramural R&D budget
exceeding $1 billion are required to
participate in the STTR Program.
Federal agencies who participate in the
SBIR and STTR programs must collect
information from the public to meet:
(1) Applicable reporting requirements
under 15 U.S.C. 638(b)(7), (g)(8), (i),
(j)(1)(E), (j)(3)(C), (l), (o)(10), and (v);
(2) The requirement to maintain both
a publicly accessible database of SBIR/
STTR award information and a
government database of SBIR/STTR
award information for SBIR and STTR
program evaluation under 15 U.S.C. 638
g(10, (k), (o) (9), and (o)(15); and
(3) Requirements for public outreach
under 15 U.S.C. 638(j)(2)(F), (o)(14), and
(s).
DHS is seeking to renew this
collection, and revise it to add, for
purposes of entering into other
transaction agreements pursuant to 6
U.S.C. 391, 6 U.S.C. 596(1), and 49
U.S.C. 106(l)(6), Form 700–24, Other
Transaction Agreement Solicitation, and
Form 700–25, Other Transaction
Agreement Solicitation Amendment. On
the forms, respondents submit an
Employer Identification Number, as
well as the business’ name, address and
title. Respondents must also identify the
authorized business representative’s
personal name, and must include a
signature.
The information being collected is
used by the Government’s contracting
officers and other acquisition personnel,

including technical and legal staff to
determine the adequacy of technical and
management approach, experience,
responsibility, responsiveness, and
expertise of the firms submitting offers;
the identification of members of the
public (i.e., small businesses) who
qualify for and are interested in
participating in the DHS SBIR Program;
and, provide the DHS SBIR Program
Office necessary and sufficient
information to determine whether
proposals submitted by the public to the
DHS SBIR Program meet the criteria for
consideration under the program.
Failure to collect this information
would adversely affect the quality of
products and services DHS receives
from contractors. Potentially, contracts
would be awarded to firms without
sufficient experience and expertise,
thereby placing the Department’s
operations in jeopardy. Defective and
inadequate contractor deliverables
would adversely affect DHS’s
fulfillment of the mission requirements
in all areas. Additionally, the
Department would be unsuccessful in
identifying small businesses with
research and development (R&D)
capabilities, which would adversely
affect the mission requirements in this
area.
Many sources of the requested
information use automated word
processing systems, databases, and web
portals to facilitate preparation of
material to be submitted and to post and
collect information. It is common place
within many of DHS’s Components for
submissions to be electronic as a result
of implementation of e-Government
initiatives.
Information technology (i.e.,
electronic web portal) is used in the
collection of information to reduce the
data gathering and records management
burden. DHS uses a secure website the
public can use to propose SBIR research
topics and submit proposals in response
to SBIR solicitations. In addition, DHS
uses a web portal to review RFIs and
register to submit a white paper or
proposal in response to a specific BAA.
The data collection forms standardize
the collection of information that is
necessary and sufficient for the DHS
SBIR Program Office to meet its
requirements under 15 U.S.C. 638.
This information collection required
by the HSAR and the SBIR and STTR
programs may or may not involve small
business contractors, depending on the
particular transaction. The burden
applied to small businesses has been
reduced to the least burdensome
commensurate with the DHS need for
the information. In certain cases,
information collection is done via a

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:43 May 18, 2021

Jkt 253001

secure website which is intended to
minimize burden for businesses
(including small businesses) and other
for-profit entities, and not-for-profit
institutions. Small businesses and other
small entities will be able to enter
identifying information and
subsequently update rather than
resubmit the information via the
internet.
Less frequent incidence of collecting
such information as offerors’ technical
approach, management approach,
experience statements, and resumes
indicating level of expertise would
negatively affect the quality of products
and services DHS received from
contractors. Potentially, contracts would
be awarded to firms without sufficient
experience and expertise, thereby
placing the Department’s operations in
jeopardy.
Additionally, DHS collects
information that is both necessary and
sufficient to comply with 15 U.S.C. 638
and receive white papers and proposals
from the public in response to BAAs.
Failure to allow the public to submit
information would diminish the ability
of the DHS SBIR Program Office to meet
its obligation for outreach as required by
15 U.S.C. 638, evaluate white papers
and proposals in accordance with the
criteria in the BAA and provide the
respondents with the results of the
evaluation. DHS/ALL/PIA–006 General
Contact Lists dated June15, 2007 covers
the basic contact information that must
be collected for DHS. Other information
collected will typically pertain to the
contract itself, and not individuals. All
information for this information
collection is submitted voluntarily.
However, sensitive information (e.g.,
felony conviction information) may also
be collected through this information
collection. Due to this sensitivity, and
the sensitivities regarding the
procurement process as a whole, a new
PIA is required to document and
identify any potential risks associated
with collecting this information.
There is no assurance of
confidentiality provided to the
respondents.
The burden estimates are based upon
definitive proposals reported by DHS
and its Components to the Federal
Procurement Data System (FPDS) for FY
2019, and, for the forms, data reported
by contracting activities related to single
source DHS other transaction awards
and modifications issued in FY 2019.
No program changes occurred and there
have been no changes to the information
being collected. However, the burden
was adjusted to reflect an agency
adjustment increase of 13,206 in the
number of respondents within DHS for

PO 00000

Frm 00035

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

27097

FY 2019, to include the number of
respondents added as a result of the
new forms, 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.
