SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Federal Hazardous Substance Act 

and Hazardous Material Transportation 

Act prescribe standards for packaging of 

hazardous substances. To meet the 

requirements of the Acts, the General 

Services Administration Regulation 

prescribes clause 552.223–72, 

Hazardous Material Information, to be 

inserted in solicitations and contracts 

that provides for delivery of hazardous 

materials on an f.o.b. origin basis. This 

information collection will be 

accomplished by means of the clause, 

which requires the contractor to identify 

for each National Stock Number the 

DOT Shipping Name, DOT Hazards 

Class, and whether the item requires a 

DOT label. Contracting Officers and 

technical personnel use the information 

to monitor and ensure contract 

requirements based on law and 

regulation. Properly identified and 

labeled items of hazardous material 

allows for appropriate handling of such 

items throughout GSA’s supply chain 

system. The information is used in GSA 

warehouses, stored in an NSN database 

and provided to GSA customers. NonCollection and/or a less frequently 

conducted collection of the information 

resulting from Clause 552.223–72 would 

prevent the Government from being 

properly notified and prepared for 

arrival and storage of items containing 

hazardous material. Government 

activities may be hindered from 

apprising their employees of; (1) All 

hazards to which they may be exposed; 

(2) Relative symptoms and appropriate 

emergency treatment; and (3) Proper 

conditions and precautions for safe use 

and exposure.

Proposed Project: The Hospital 

Preparedness Program—Revision—OMB 

No. 0990–0326–OS—Assistant Secretary 

for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Preparedness and 

Response (ASPR), Division of 

Healthcare Preparedness Program (HPP) 

and the State and Local Initiative— 

Program Evaluation Section (SLI–PES), 

is proposing a Web-based reporting 

system to gather critical information and 

data from the 62 Awardees participating 

in the National Bioterrorism Hospital 

Preparedness Program (NBHPP). 

The reporting system will capture 

information related on performance 

measures, critical benchmarks, minimal 

levels of readiness, program statistics, 

policies and procedures, surge capacity 

elements, surge capacity as measured by 

exercises, and other pertinent 

information for programmatic fiscal 

management, improvement and tracking 

performance. The data submitted to HPP 

will be gathered for mid-year reports 

and end of year reports on annual 

activities and progress. 

Awardees will indicate the progress 

made toward each of the financial and 

programmatic objectives noted on their 

cooperative agreement application 

(CAA) on the mid-year progress report. 

The end of year report on annual 

activities will require Awardees to 

provide additional details on objective 

achievement and budget/fiscal 

management. The end of year report 

will also require Awardees to present 

improvements made toward achieving 

the program’s critical benchmarks. 

In addition, the reporting will 

increase ASPR’s ability to quickly and 

efficiently analyze data, identify trends, 

make timely program decisions, and 

provide the Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), Congress, and 

other Operating Divisions with data and 

information.
