SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Past performance information 

regarding a contractor’s actions under 

previously awarded contracts is relevant 

information for future source selection 

purposes. The information collection 

requirements at FAR 15.304 and 42.15 

remains the same; however, the public 

burden has been adjusted downward. 

Specifically, the estimated number of 

responses used to calculate the burden 

have been reduced based on data 

available in the Federal Procurement 

Data System (FPDS) and the Contractor 

Performance Assessment Reporting 

System (CPARS) for Fiscal Year (FY) 

2014. 

B. Analysis of Public Comments 

Two respondents submitted five 

public comments on the extension of 

the previously approved information 

collection. The analysis of the public 

comments is summarized as follows: 

Comment: The respondent 

commented on a Federal Aviation 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
13006 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 48 / Thursday, March 12, 2015 / Notices 

Administration’s Notice of Proposed 

Rule Making in regards to the ‘‘Flight 

Simulation Training Device 

Qualification Standards for Extended 

Envelope and Adverse Weather Event 

Training Tasks.’’ 

Response: The respondent’s 

comments are outside the scope of this 

information collection. 

Comment: The respondent 

commented that the Agency’s estimate 

of two hours per response 

underestimates the hours it takes for 

contractors to respond to source 

selection requirements related to past 

performance. 

Response: Two hours is the average 

amount of time to read and prepare 

information on a company’s past 

performance for source selection 

purposes. The estimate considered the 

amount of time a simple or standard 

disclosure might require in response to 

non-complex solicitations, in some 

cases by businesses with limited 

experience, as well as the time that 

might be required for a very complex 

disclosure by a major corporation. In 

addition, the estimated burden hours 

include only projected hours for those 

actions which a company would not 

undertake in the normal course of 

business. Maintaining information and 

references on work they have performed 

in the past are considered actions 

undertaken in the normal course of 

business. 

Comment: The respondent 

commented that the Agency’s 

methodology for preparing burden 

estimates is faulty resulting in 

unrealistically low estimates, which sets 

unreasonable expectations for 

turnaround time and disguises the true 

cost of the responses. 

Response: The burden estimate is 

prepared taking into consideration the 

necessary criteria in OMB guidance for 

estimating the paperwork burden put on 

the entity submitting the information. 

For example, consideration is given to 

an entity reviewing instructions; using 

technology to collect, process, and 

disclose information; adjusting existing 

practices to comply with requirements; 

searching data sources; completing and 

reviewing the response; and 

transmitting or disclosing information. 

Careful consideration went into 

assessing the estimated burden hours for 

this collection, and the collection 

requirements at FAR 15.304 and 42.15 

remains the same. There is no change to 

the estimated number of hours per 

response associated with this request for 

extension; rather, the estimated number 

of responses was reduced based on data 

available FPDS and CPARS regarding 

awards in FY 2014. 

Comment: In the past, including in 

connection with FAR Case 2007–006, 

the Agency both acknowledged that the 

initial estimate was unrealistically low 

while also defending the methodology 

that it used to develop the unrealistic 

estimate. 

Response: Serious consideration is 

given, during the open comment period, 

to all comments received and 

adjustments are made to the paperwork 

burden estimate based on reasonable 

considerations provide by the public. 

This is evidenced, as the respondent 

notes, in FAR Case 2007–006 where an 

adjustment was made from the total 

preparation hours from three to sixty. 

This change was made considering 

particularly the hours that would be 

required for review within the company, 

prior to release to the Government. 

Comment: The respondent 

commented that granting the extension 

would violate at least the spirit of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Response: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) was designed to improve the 

quality and use of Federal information 

to strengthen decision-making, 

accountability, and openness in 

government and society. Central to this 

process is the solicitation of comments 

from the public. This process 

incorporates an enumerated 

specification of targeted information 

and provides interested parties a 

meaningful opportunity for comment on 

the relevant compliance cost. This 

process has led to decreases in the 

overall collective burden of compliance 

for the information collection 

requirement in regards to the public. 

Based on OMB estimates, in FY 2010, 

the public spent 8.8 billion hours 

responding to information collections. 

This was a decrease of one billion 

hours, or ten percent from the previous 

FY. In effect, the collective burden of 

compliance for the public is going down 

as the Government publishes rules that 

make the process less complex, more 

transparent, and reduce the cost of 

Federal regulations.

Hours. 

D. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways in which we can 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of appropriate 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
