of DHS contracts and to complete 

reports required by other Federal 

agencies such as the General Services 

Administration and the Department of 

Labor. If this information is not 

collected, the DHS could inadvertently 

violate statutory or regulatory 

requirements and the DHS’s interest 

concerning inventions and contractor’s 

claims would not be protected. 

There has been an increase in the 

estimated annual burden hours 

previously reported for this collection. 

An adjustment in annual burden is 

necessary at this time in the amount of 

902 actions and hours. The initial 

annual burden was based on a lower 

number of contract actions which 

related to the fact that DHS was a new 

agency with consolidated acquisition 

procedures, processes, and policies. 

Although, there is an increase in the 

estimated burdened hours, there is no 

change in the information being 

collected. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

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.
