Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Comment Request 

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the 

United States. 

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and 

comments request. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (EXIM), as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

Agencies to comment on the proposed 

information collection, as required by 

the paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

By neutralizing the effect of export 

credit insurance and guarantees offered 

by foreign governments and by 

absorbing credit risks that the private 

section will not accept, EXIM enables 

U.S. exporters to compete fairly in 

foreign markets on the basis of price and 

product. This collection of information 

is necessary, to determine eligibility of 

the applicant for EXIM support. This 

form is used by a financial institution 

(or broker acting on its behalf) in order 

to obtain approval for non-honoring 

coverage of short-term letters of credit. 

The information received provides 

EXIM staff with the information 

necessary to make a determination of 

the eligibility of the applicant and 

transaction for EXIM assistance under 

its programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

This information collection 

requirement, OMB Control No. 9000– 

0018, currently titled ‘‘Certification of 

Independent Price Determination and 

Parent Company and Identifying Data,’’ 

is proposed to be retitled ‘‘Certification 

of Independent Price Determination, 

Contractor Code of Business Ethics and 

Compliance, and Preventing Personal 

Conflicts of Interest,’’ due to 

consolidation with two additional 

currently approved information 

collection requirements: OMB Control 

No. 9000–0164, Contractor Business 

Ethics Compliance Program and 

Disclosure Requirements; and OMB 

Control No. 9000–0183, Preventing 

Personal Conflicts of Interest for 

Contractor Employees Performing 

Acquisition Functions. 

DoD, GSA and NASA analyzed the FY 

2016 data from the Federal Procurement 

Data System (FPDS) to develop the 

estimated burden hours for this 

information collection. 

This information collection 

requirement pertains to information that 

an offeror contractor must submit in 

response to the requirements of the 

following provisions and clauses in FAR 

52.203: 

1. Certification of Independent Price 

Determination (FAR 52.203–2). This 

clause requires the offeror to certify that 

the prices in the offer have been arrived 

at independently. Agencies are required 

to report under 41 U.S.C. 3101 (formerly 

41 U.S.C. 252(b)(i)) and 10 U.S.C. 

2305(d) suspected violations of the 

antitrust laws (e.g., collusive bidding, 

identical bids, uniform estimating 

systems, etc.) to the Attorney General. 

As a first step in assuring that 

Government contracts are not awarded 

to firms violating such antitrust laws, 

offerors on Government contracts must 

complete the certificate of independent 

price determination. An offer will not be 

considered for award where the 

certificate has been deleted or modified. 

Deletions or modifications of the 

certificate and suspected false 

certificates are reported to the Attorney 

General (see FAR 3.103–2 Evaluating 

the Certification). 

The information collection is required 

each time an offeror responds to a 

solicitation for firm-fixed price contract 

or fixed-price economic price 

adjustment contract unless the 

acquisition is: (1) Made under the 

simplified acquisition threshold; (2) at 

the request for technical proposals 

under two-step sealed bidding 

procedures; or (3) for utility services for 

which rates are set by law or regulation. 

The FAR rule requires a Certificate of 

Independent Price Determination so that 

contractors certify that the prices in 

their offer have been arrived at 

independently, have not been or will
