SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

subpart 23.10, implements Executive 

Order (E.O.) 13148 of April 21, 2000, 

Greening the Government through 

Leadership in Environmental 

Management, and it also provides a 

means for agencies to obtain contractor 

information for the implementation of 

environmental management systems 

(EMSs) and the completion of facility 

compliance audits (FCAs) at certain 

Federal facilities. This information 

collection will be accomplished by 

means of Alternates I and II to FAR 

clause 52.223–5. Alternate I of 52.223– 

5 require contractors to provide 

information needed by a Federal facility 

to implement an EMS and Alternate II 

of 52.223–5 requires contractors to 

complete an FCA. FAR subpart 23.10 

and its associated contract clause at 

FAR 52.223–5 also implement the 

requirements of E.O. 13148 to require 

that Federal facilities comply with the 

planning and reporting requirements of 

the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 

1990 (42 U.S.C. 13101–13109), and the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 (42 

U.S.C. 11001–11050). The E.O. requires 

that contracts to be performed on a 

Federal facility provide for the 

contractor to supply to the Federal 

agency all information the Federal 

agency deems necessary to comply with 

these reporting requirements. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Number of Respondents: 7,460. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 7,460. 

Average Burden per Response: 2.834. 

Total Burden Hours: 21,140. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from 

the General Services Administration, 

Regulatory Secretariat (VPR), 1800 F 

Street, NW., Room 4041, Washington, 

DC 20405, telephone (202) 501–4755. 

Please cite OMB Control Number 9000– 

0147, Pollution Prevention and Right-toKnow Information, in all 

correspondence.
