B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors and contractors must 

submit to comply with the following 

FAR part 3 requirements: 

• FAR 52.203–2, Certificate of 

Independent Price Determination. This 

provision requires offerors to include 

with their offer a certification that their 

prices have been arrived at 

independently, have not been or will 

not be knowingly disclosed, and have 

not been submitted for the purpose of 

restricting competition. Prior to making 

an award, a contracting officer will 

ensure the offeror has provided the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2024 / Notices 2953 

certification. An offer will not be 

considered for award where the 

certificate has been deleted or modified. 

Federal agencies will report to the 

Attorney General for investigation any 

deletions or modifications of the 

certificate and suspected false 

certificates. 

• FAR 52.203–7, Anti-Kickback 

Procedures. This clause requires 

contractors to report in writing to the 

inspector general of the contracting 

agency, the head of the contracting 

agency if the agency does not have an 

inspector general, or the Attorney 

General possible violations of 41 U.S.C. 

chapter 87, Kickbacks. The clause also 

requires the contractor to notify the 

contracting officer when monies are 

withheld from sums owed a 

subcontractor under the prime contract, 

when the contracting officer has 

directed the prime contractor to do so to 

offset the amount of a kickback. The 

Federal agency will use the information 

reported by contractors to investigate 

suspected violations. The notification to 

the contracting officer of a withholding 

of payment to a subcontractor is used to 

help the contracting officer ensure the 

amount of a kickback is appropriately 

offset. 

• FAR 52.203–13, Contractor Code of 

Business Ethics and Conduct. This 

clause requires contractors and 

subcontractors to report to the agency 

Office of the Inspector General when the 

contractor has credible evidence that a 

principal, employee, agent, or 

subcontractor has committed a violation 

of Federal criminal law involving fraud, 

conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity 

violations found in title 18 U.S.C., or a 

violation of the Civil False Claims Act 

(31 U.S.C. 3729–3733). The Federal 

agency will use the information 

reported by contractors to investigate 

suspected violations. 

• FAR 52.203–16, Preventing 

Personal Conflicts of Interest. This 

clause requires contractors and 

subcontractors to obtain and maintain 

from each employee a disclosure of 

interests that might be affected by the 

task to which the employee has been 

assigned under the contract. Contractors 

and subcontractors must report to the 

contracting officer any personal conflict 

of interest violation by an employee and 

the proposed corrective/follow-up 

actions to be taken. In exceptional 

circumstances, the contractor may 

request the head of the contracting 

activity approve a plan to mitigate a 

personal conflict of interest or waive the 

requirement to prevent personal 

conflicts of interest. The information is 

used by the contractor and the 

contracting officer to identify and 

mitigate personal conflicts of interest.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

GSA requires information from 

Federal Supply Schedule contractors 

that will be used to conduct award 

oversight or generate mandatory reports 

during contract administration. For 

these contractors, providing commercial 

supplies and services, much of this 

information is readily available to the 

public at large, or is routinely 

exchanged by firms during the normal 

course of business. This general 

information collection covers these 

contract administration requirements, as 

outlined in GSAR Subpart 538.2— 

Establishing and Administering Federal 

Supply Schedules. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

This information collection requires 

no expenditure of resources to gather 

the information for submission, as the 

information is often exchanged by 

commercial business firms in their 

catalogs or other public documents 

during the normal course of business. 

The nominal amount of burden imposed 

on the public is simply to relay the 

requested information. 

Respondents: 14,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 14,000. 

Hours per Response: 0.5 (30 minutes). 

Total Burden Hours: 7,000. 

C. Public Comments 

A 60-day notice was published in the 

Federal Register at 88 FR 76217 on 

November 6, 2023. No comments were 

received. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from 

the Regulatory Secretariat Division, at

Administration Information, in all
