SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

GSA has mission responsibilities 

related to monitoring and enforcing 

compliance with Federal civil rights 

laws and regulations that apply to 

Federal financial assistance programs 

administered by GSA. Specifically, 

those laws provide that no person on 

the ground of race, color, national 

origin, disability, sex, or age shall be 

excluded from participation in, be 

denied the benefits of, or be otherwise 

subjected to discrimination under any 

program in connection with which 

Federal financial assistance is extended 

under laws administered in whole, or in 

part, by GSA. 

These mission responsibilities 

generate the requirement to request and 

obtain certain data from recipients of 

Federal surplus real property 

conveyances under the Federal Public 

Benefit Conveyance Program for the 

purpose of determining compliance, 

such as the number of individuals that 

speak non-English languages 

encountered by the recipient’s 

program(s) and how the recipient is 

addressing meaningful access for 

individuals that are Limited English 

Proficient; whether the recipients 

provide disability access in compliance 

with applicable laws and standards; 

whether there has been complaints or 

lawsuits filed against the recipient 

based on prohibited discrimination; 

whether there has been any findings of 

discrimination; and whether the 

recipient’s facilities are accessible to 

qualified individuals with disabilities.

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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Notices 88051 

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 

childcare employees to be subject to the 

Tier 1C since employees of childcare 

providers are neither government 

employees nor government contractors. 

The childcare 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 

childcare center located in a federal 

building or in leased space must 

undergo a background check. 

According to GSA policy, childcare 

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 

A 60-day notice published in the 

Federal Register at 89 FR 59099 on July 

22, 2024. One comment was received. 

Comment: There have been 

suggestions that the child care provider 

keep form 176 on file for each 

employee—seems redundant—since 

HSPD and OPM have these files 

requiring the provider is over kill and 

really these clearance documents that 

the federal government require should 

not be in a private company’s file as 

many of the questions asked are not 

things the private sector employers can 

ask for and by having them it can lead 

to the suggestion that we have used 

these question to dismiss employees or 

used to not hire them based on answers 

to clearance questions. 

Response: There is no requirement to 

keep a Form 176 on file for each 

employee. However, the childcare 

provider must comply with applicable 

requirements and adequately 

demonstrate such compliance, if 

necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of an approved 

collection; Title of Information 

Collection: Improper Payment PreTesting and Assessment (IPPTA) Data 

Request Form; Use: To comply with the 

Payment Integrity Information Act of 

2019 (PIIA), HHS finalized the IPPTA to 

prepare State Exchanges for the 

measurement of improper payments of 

advance payments of the premium tax 

credit (APTC), to test processes and 

procedures that support HHS’s review 

of determinations of APTC made by 

State Exchanges, and to provide a 

mechanism for HHS and State 

Exchanges to share information that 

would aid in developing an efficient 

measurement process. The PIIA requires 

executive agencies to report on Federal 

programs susceptible to significant 

improper payments. The APTC program 

was identified as a Federal program 

susceptible to significant improper 

payments. Currently in operation are 19 

State Exchanges, which do not use the 

Federal platform to perform eligibility 

and enrollment determinations. Each 

State Exchange was selected to 

participate in the IPPTA data collection
