SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with Federal regulations and
statutes, when protests are filed, the
contracting officer will require
information/documentation such as
detailed statements of legal and factual
grounds for the protests, copies of
relevant documents, solicitation or
contract number, and requests for a
ruling by the agency. The Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and 48
CFR chapter 1 provide general
procedures on handling protests
submitted by contractors to Federal
agencies. FAR part 33, 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, 2024, 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

22AUN1

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 22, 2023 / Notices
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 to the
agency. 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 such 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 in
response to Item 12 above are based
upon the Department’s findings in its
FY 2022 Procurement Line of Business,
Operational Status Report. No program
changes have occurred or changes to the
information being collected, however,
the burden was adjusted to reflect an
agency adjustment increase of 33
respondents within DHS for Fiscal Year
2022, 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.
