SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive (HSPD) 12 ‘‘Policy for a 

Common Identification Standard for 

Federal Employees and Contractors’’ 

requires the implementation of a 

governmentwide standard for secure 

and reliable forms of identification for 

Federal employees and contractors. 

OMB’s implementing instructions 

requires all contract employees 

requiring routine access to federally 

controlled facilities for greater than six 

(6) months to receive a background 

investigation. The minimum 

background investigation is Tier 1 and 

the Office of Personnel Management 

offers a Tier 1C for child care. 

However, there is no requirement in 

the law or HSPD–12 that requires child 

care employees to be subject to the Tier 

1C since employees of child care 

providers are neither government 

employees nor government contractors. 

The child care providers are required to 

complete the criminal history 

background checks mandated in the 

Crime Control Act of 1990, Public Law 

101–647, dated November 29, 1990, as 

amended by Public Law 102–190, dated 

December 5, 1991. These statutes 

require that each employee of a child 

care center located in a Federal building 

or in leased space must undergo a 

background check. 

According to GSA policy, child care 

workers (as described above) will need 

to submit the following: 

1. An original signed copy of a Basic 

National Agency Check Criminal 

History, GSA Form 176; and 

2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI 

Fingerprint Cards, for SF–87 and/or 

electronic prints from an enrollment 

center. 

3. Electronically submit the e-qip 

(SF85) application for completion of the 

Tier 1C. 

This is not a request to collect new 

information; this is a request to change 

the form that is currently being used to 

collect this information. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 1,200. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Hours per Response: 1. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,200. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The General Services Administration 

will be requesting that OMB extend 

information collection 3090–0007, 

concerning GSA Form 527, Contractor’s 

Qualifications and Financial 

Information. This form is used to 

determine the financial capability of 

prospective contractors as to whether 

they meet the financial responsibility 

standards in accordance with the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

9.103(a) and 9.104–1 and also the 

General Services Administration 

Acquisition Manual (GSAM) 509.105– 

1(a). 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 2,542. 

Responses per Respondent: 1.2. 

Total Responses: 3,050. 

Hours per Response: 1.5. 

Total Burden Hours: 4,575. 

The estimated annual burden has 

decreased since GSA’s 2014 submission 

from 5,292 to 4,575 burden hours to 

reflect the continued use of the 

widespread option for potential 

contractors to submit financial 

statements and balance sheets in lieu of 

completing the applicable fields on GSA 

Form 527. The alternate submission of 

financial statements and balance sheets 

significantly reduces the burden on 

prospective contractors, as these 

documents are generally readily 

available. The average estimated hours 

to complete a response remained at the 

optimal rate of 1.5 hours. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected. A request 

for public comments was issued in the 

Federal Register at 83 FR 7184, on 

February 20, 2018. No comments were 

received. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from
