SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0157, Architect-Engineer 

Qualifications (SF–330). 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors must submit to comply 

with the following Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) requirement: 

Standard Form (SF) 330, ArchitectEngineer Qualifications 

As specified in FAR 36.702(b), an 

architect-engineer firm must provide 

information about its qualifications for a 

specific contract when the contract 

amount is expected to exceed the 

simplified acquisition threshold. Part I 

of the SF 330 may be used when the 

contract amount is expected to be at or 

below the simplified acquisition 

threshold, if the contracting officer 

determines that its use is appropriate. 

Part II of the SF 330 is used to obtain 

information from an architect-engineer 

firm about its general professional 

qualifications. 

The SF 330 accomplishes the 

following: 

• Expands essential information 

about qualifications and experience data 

including: 

• An organizational chart of all 

participating firms and key personnel. 

• For all key personnel, a description 

of their experience in 5 relevant 

projects. 

• A description of each example 

project performed by the project team 

(or some elements of the project team) 

and its relevance to the agency’s 

proposed contract. 

• A matrix of key personnel who 

participated in the example projects. 

This matrix graphically illustrates the 

degree to which the proposed key 

personnel have worked together before 

on similar projects. 

• Reflects current architect-engineer 

disciplines, experience types and 

technology. 

• Permits limited submission length 

thereby reducing costs for both the 

architect-engineer industry and the 

Government. Lengthy submissions do 

not necessarily lead to a better decision 

on the best-qualified firm. The proposed 

SF 330 indicates that agencies may limit 

the length of firm’s submissions, either 

certain sections or the entire package. 

The Government’s right to impose such 

limitations was established in case law 

(Coffman Specialties, Inc., B–284546. 

N–284546/2, 2000 U.S.Comp.Gen.LEXIS 

58, May 10, 2000). 

The contracting officer uses the 

information provided on the SF 330 to 

evaluate firms to select an architectengineer firm for a contract.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) provides 

that an agency generally cannot conduct 

or sponsor a collection of information, 

and no person is required to respond to, 

nor be subject to, a penalty for failure 

to comply with a collection of 

information, unless that collection has 

obtained Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval and displays a 

currently valid OMB Control Number. 

GSA requested and OMB authorized 

emergency processing of an information 

collection, as OMB Control Number 

3090–0322, for the provision at FAR 

52.204–24, Representation Regarding 

Certain Telecommunications and Video 

Surveillance Services and the clause at 

FAR 52.204–25, Prohibition on 

Contracting for Certain 

Telecommunications and Video 

Surveillance Services or Equipment, as 

used under lease acquisitions and 

commercial solution openings. GSA has 

determined the following conditions 

have been met: 

a. The collection of information is 

needed prior to the expiration of time 

periods normally associated with a 

routine submission for review under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, because the prohibitions in Section 

889 of the John S. McCain National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115–232) went into 

effect on August 13, 2020. 

b. The collection of information is 

essential to GSA’s mission to ensure 

GSA complies with Section 889 in order 

to protect the Government supply chain 

from risks posed by covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services. 

c. GSA cannot comply with the 

normal clearance procedures because 

public harm is reasonably likely to 


KHAMMOND on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
85642 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2020 / Notices 

result if current clearance procedures 

are followed. 

This requirement supports 

implementation of Section 889 of the 

John S. McCain National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 

(Pub. L. 115–232) under lease 

acquisitions and commercial solution 

openings. This section prohibits 

agencies from procuring, obtaining, 

extending or renewing a contract with 

contractors that will provide or use 

covered telecommunication equipment 

or services as a substantial or essential 

component of any system, or as a 

critical technology as part of any system 

on or after August 13, 2020 unless an 

exception applies. 

This requirement is implemented in 

the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) through the provision at FAR 

52.204–24, Representation Regarding 

Certain Telecommunications and Video 

Surveillance Services or Equipment and 

the clause at FAR 52.204–25, 

Prohibition on Contracting for Certain 

Telecommunications and Video 

Surveillance Services or Equipment. 

GSA’s Class Deviation CD–2020–15 

extends these requirements to lease 

acquisitions and commercial solution 

opening procurements. 

This clearance covers the following 

requirements: 

FAR 52.204–24 requires an offer or to 

represent whether they will provide or 

whether they will use any covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services and if so, describe in more 

detail the use of the covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services; and 

FAR 52.204–25 requires contractors to 

report covered telecommunications 

equipment, systems and services 

identified during performance of a 

contract. 

GSA requested approval of this 

information collection in order to 

implement the law. The information 

will be used by agency personnel to 

identify and remove prohibited 

equipment, systems, or services from 

Government use. Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor.

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) seeks approval for a onetime study to examine child welfare

describe how public child welfare 

agencies are in contact with or receive 

information about the well-being of 

children and youth who have exited the 

foster care system through adoption or 

guardianship, particularly the 

experiences of these children with 

instability. A secondary objective is to 

understand what types of information 

child welfare agencies systematically 

track about these children. 

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of 

publication. OMB is required to make a 

decision concerning the collection of 

information between 30 and 60 days 

after publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. Therefore, a comment 

is best assured of having its full effect 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The proposed study 

would conduct web surveys with state 

child welfare agency adoption program 

managers. The study will also include 

stakeholder videoconference interviews 

with selected child welfare agency 

representatives. The web surveys and 

stakeholder interviews are designed to 

collect information about the types of 

routine contact between agencies and 

families after adoption or guardianship 

as well as agency procedures to track 

child instability experiences after 

adoption or guardianship. 

Respondents: Child welfare agency 

staff.
