27696 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 93 / Thursday, May 14, 2015 / Notices 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) collects information, when 

necessary, in administering public 

contracts for supplies and services. The 

information is used to determine 

compliance with contract terms placed 

in the contract as authorized by the 

Federal Property and Administrative 

Services Act (41 U.S.C. 251 et seq.), the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

(48 CFR Chapter 1), and the Homeland 

Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) 

(48 CFR Chapter 30). Examples of 

information DHS contracting officers 

normally collect when administering 

contracts include notices of changes in 

key personnel, invoices, subcontracting 

reports, and evidence of compliance 

with hazardous removal requirements. 

Examples of collections under the 

HSAR include: 3052.204–71 Contractor 

employee access, 3052.205–70 

Advertisements, Publicizing Awards, 

and Releases, 3052.209–72 

Organizational Conflict of Interest, 

3052.209–75 Prohibited Financial 

Interests for Lead System Integrators, 

3052.215–70 Key personnel or facilities, 

3052.219–70 Small Business 

subcontracting plan reporting, 

3052.223–70 Removal or disposal of 

hazardous substances—applicable 

licenses and permits. 

The information requested is used by 

the Government’s contracting officers 

and other acquisition personnel, 

including technical and legal staff, for 

various reasons such as determining the 

suitability of contractor personnel 

accessing DHS facilities; to ensure no 

organizational conflicts of interest exist 

during the performance of contracts; to 

ensure the contractor maintains 

applicable licenses and permits for the 

removal and disposal of hazardous 

materials; and to otherwise ensure firms 

are performing in the Government’s best 

interest. Failure to collect this 

information would adversely affect the 

quality of products and services DHS 

receives from contractors. For example, 

potentially, contractors who are lead 

system integrators could acquire direct 

financial interests in major systems the 

contractors are contracted to procure, 

which would compromise the integrity 

of acquisitions for the Department. In 

addition, contractors who own, control 

or operate a business providing 

protective guard services could possess 

felony convictions during the 

performance of contracts, putting the 

Department at risk. Furthermore, 

contractors could change key personnel 

during the performance of contracts and 

use less experienced or less qualified 

personnel to reduce costs, which would 

adversely affect DHS’s fulfillment of its 

mission requirements. 

Many sources of the requested 

information use automated word 

processing systems, databases, 

spreadsheets, project management and 

other commercial software to facilitate 

preparation of material to be submitted. 

With Government wide implementation 

of e-Government initiatives, it is 

commonplace within many of DHS’s 

Components for submissions to be 

electronic. 

Disclosure/non-disclosure of 

information is handled in accordance 

with the Freedom of Information Act, 

other disclosure statutes, and Federal 

and agency acquisition regulations. 

Based upon definitive contract award 

data reported by DHS and its 

Components to the Federal Procurement 

Data System (FPDS) for Fiscal Year 

2014. No program changes occurred, 

however the burden was adjusted to 

reflect an increase in the number of 

respondents within DHS for Fiscal Year 

2014. 

The prior information collection 

request for OMB No. 1600–0003 was 

approved through August 31, 2015 by 

OMB. This collection will be submitted 

to OMB for review to request an 

approval to extend the expiration date 

of the collection. There are no proposed 

changes to the information being 

collected, instructions, frequency of the 

collection or the use of 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.
