Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 

in accordance with the Paperwork

comments were received by DHS. DHS 

would also like to correct the Total 

Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

$236,253.60 that was indicated in the 

60-Day Federal Register Notice. The 

cost that was indicated is the estimated 

annualized cost to the respondents for 

the hour burden for collecting the 

information, using the appropriate wage 

categories. The purpose of this notice is 

to allow additional 30-days for public 

comments and to correct the cost from 

$236,253.00 to zero. 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until March 28, 2011. 

This process is conducted in accordance 

with 5 CFR 1320.10. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to OMB Desk Officer, Department of 

Homeland Security and sent via 

electronic mail to 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed 

to 202–395–5806. 

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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

additional information is required 

contact: The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Office of Chief 

Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy 

and Legislation Office, DHS Attn.: 

Camara Francis, Department of 

Homeland Security, Office of the Chief 

Procurement Officer, Room 3114, 

Washington, DC 20528, 

Camara.Francis@hq.dhs.gov, 202–447– 

5904. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection under the HSAR 

is necessary in order to implement 

applicable parts of the FAR (48 CFR). 

The four forms under this collection of 

information request are used by offerors, 

contractors, and the general public to 

comply with requirements in contracts 

awarded by the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). The four 

forms are DHS Form 0700–01, 

Cumulative Claim and Reconciliation 

Statement; DHS Form 0700–02, 

Contractor’s Assignment of Refund, 

Rebates, Credits and Other Amounts; 

DHS Form 0700–03, Contractor’s 

Release; and DHS Form 0700–04, 

Employee Claim for Wage Restitution. 

These four forms will be used by 

contractors and/or contract employees 

during contract administration. 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 and the Department of 

Labor. If this information is not 

collected, the DHS could inadvertently 

violate statutory or regulatory 

requirements and the DHS’s interest 

concerning inventions and contractor’s 

claims would not be protected. There 

has been an increase in the estimated 

annual burden hours previously 

reported for this collection. An 

adjustment in annual burden is 

necessary at this time in the amount of 

1534 actions and hours. The initial 

annual burden was based on a lower 

number of contract actions which 

related to the fact that DHS was a new 

agency with consolidated acquisition 

procedures, processes, and policies. 

Although, there is an increase in the 

estimated burdened hours, there is no 

change in the information being 

collected.
