utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) the use of automated collection

Title of the Collection: Crime Control 

Act—Requirement for Background 

Checks. 

Type of Collection: Extension. 

OMB No.: 0990–0430—Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Financial 

Resources, Office of Grants and 

Acquisition Policy, and Accountability, 

Division of Acquisition. 

Abstract: Crime Control Act— 

Requirement for Background Checks: 

Performance of HHS mission requires 

the support of contractors. In some 

circumstances, depending on the 

requirements of the specific contract, 

the contractor is tasked to provide 

personnel who will be dealing with 

children under the age of 18. After 

contract award contractor personnel 

must undergo a background check as 

required by HHS Acquisition Regulation 

(HHSAR) 337.103(d)(3) and the clause at 

HHSAR 352.237–72 Crime Control 

Act—Requirement for Background 

Checks before working on the contract 

as required by federal law (Crime 

Control Act of 1990). The contractor is 

therefore required to provide 

information on the individual so that a 

proper background check can be 

performed. 

The Agency is requesting a 3 year 

extension to collect this information 

from public or private businesses.
