Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i) 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; (ii) 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; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) 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 submission of responses. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Abstract: This notice is a proposed extension of EPA ICR No. 1039.14, OMB Control No. 2030–0005, which is approved through May 31, 2015. Appropriate Government surveillance of contractor performance is required to give reasonable assurance that efficient methods and effective cost controls are being used for various cost-reimbursable and fixed-rate contracts. Per 48 CFR 1552.211 regulations, on a monthly basis, the Agency requires contractors to provide the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) with a report detailing: (a) What was accomplished on the contract for that period, (b) expenditures for the same period of time, and (c) what is expected to be accomplished on the contract for the next month. Responses to the information collection are mandatory for contractors and are required for the contractors to receive monthly payments.

Form numbers: 1900–68. Respondents/affected entities: Private

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory per 48 CFR 1552.211.

Estimated number of respondents:

Changes in estimates: Please note: the revised estimates and burden numbers are included in the Supporting Statement that will be added to Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OARM–2011–0748 for public review and comment. There may be a decrease in the number of hours in total estimated respondent burden down from 60,900 hours, as collection activities may decrease with improved tracking software and overall efficiency.

Dated: January 28, 2015. John R. Bashista, Director, Office of Acquisition Management.
