BILLING CODE 9111–23–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Homeland Security 

Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) 

Regulation on Agency Protests 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Procurement 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for 

comments; Extension of a Currently 

Approved Collection, 1600–0004. 

SUMMARY: The DHS Office of the Chief 

Procurement Officer will submit the 

following Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995. 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. DHS previously 

published this ICR in the Federal 

Register on Wednesday, February 28, 

2018 for a 60-day public comment 

period. Seven unrelated comments were 

received by DHS. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow an additional 30 days 

for public comments. 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until July 9, 2018. This 

process is conducted in accordance with 

5 CFR 1320.1. 

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 dhsdeskofficer@

omb.eop.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

and 48 CFR Chapter 1 provide general 

procedures on handling protests 

submitted by contractors to Federal 

agencies. FAR Part 33.103, Protests to 

the agency, 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 OMB for 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 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. 

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 are based upon 

reports of protest activities submitted to 

the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) or the Court of Federal Claims in 

Fiscal Year 2016. No program changes 

occurred, however, the burden was 

adjusted to reflect an agency adjustment 

increase of 4 respondents within DHS 

for Fiscal Year 2016, as well as an 

increase in the average hourly wage rate. 

This is an Extension of a Currently 

Approved Collection, 1600–0004. DHS 

previously published this ICR in the 

Federal Register on Wednesday, 

February 28, 2018 at 83 FR 8687 for a 

60-day public comment period, and is 

soliciting public comment for another 

30 days. OMB 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.
