DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

[DOCKET NUMBER DHS 2024–0019] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Various Homeland Security 

Acquisitions Regulations Forms OMB 

Control No. 1600–0002 

AGENCY: Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security, DHS 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. DHS previously 

published this information collection 

request (ICR) in the Federal Register on 

June 13, 2024, for a 60-day public 

comment period. One comment was 

received by DHS. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow additional 30-days for 

public comments. 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until October 15, 2024. 

This process is conducted in accordance 

with 5 CFR 1320.10. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

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.

1For more information about CVI see 6 CFR 

27.400 and the CVI Procedural Manual at 

www.dhs.gov/publication/safeguarding-cvi-manual. 

2For more information about SSI see 49 CFR part 

1520 and the SSI Program web page at www.tsa.gov/ 

for-industry/sensitive-security-information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Federal regulations and 

statutes, when protests are filed, the 

contracting officer will require 

information/documentation such as 

detailed statements of legal and factual 

grounds for the protests, copies of 

relevant documents, solicitation or 

contract number, and requests for a 

ruling by the agency. 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, Protests, 

Disputes and Appeals, 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 the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for approval. The prior 

information collection request for OMB 

No. 1600–0004 was approved through 

November 30, 2024, by OMB in a Notice 

of OMB Action. This justification 

supports a request for an extension of 

the 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. This information 

collection may involve small business 

contractors, depending on the particular 

transaction. The burden applied to 

small businesses is minimal and 

consistent with the goals of achieving 

timely resolution of agency protests. 

This information is collected only when 

contractors choose to file a protest to the 

agency. The information is requested 

from contractors so that the Government 

will be able to evaluate protests 

effectively and provide prompt 

resolution of issues in dispute when 

contractors file such claims. 

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 provided in 

response to Item 12 above are based 

upon the Department’s findings in its 

FY 2022 Procurement Line of Business, 

Operational Status Report. No program 

changes have occurred or changes to the 

information being collected, however, 

the burden was adjusted to reflect an 

agency adjustment increase of 33 

respondents within DHS for fiscal year 

2022, as well as an increase in the 

average hourly wage rate.
