SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

It is the Government’s policy to

improve environmental quality.

Accordingly, Executive agencies must

conduct their acquisition activities in a

manner that will result in effective

enforcement of the Clean Air Act (42

U.S.C. 7401, et seq.) and the Clean

Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq.). The

information required by the Clean Air

and Water Certification is used to

determine a contractor’s compliance

with these laws. A determination of

noncompliance by the contracting

officer requires notifying the agency

head or designee who, in turn, notifies

the Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) Administrator, or a designee, in

writing. Government contracting offices

use the information to determine a

firm’s eligibility for award of a contract

and to provide information to the EPA.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

Public reporting burden for this

collection of information is estimated to

average .01666 hours per response,

including the time for reviewing

instructions, searching existing data

sources, gathering and maintaining the
