Division, at 202–430–0206 or IAE_

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

Subpart 4.11 prescribes policies and 

procedures for requiring contractor 

registration in the System for Award 

Management (SAM) database to increase 

visibility of vendor sources (including 

their geographical locations) for specific 

supplies and services; and establish a 

common source of vendor data for the 

Government. 

In the past, the GSA Office of 

Inspector General (OIG) conducted an 

investigation into fraudulent activities 

discovered within SAM. As a result, 

SAM.gov workflows and data analysis 

have been revised over the last several 

years to improve our ability to identify 

bad actors earlier than before. 

As a result of GSA actively pursuing 

technical alternatives to the collection 

of this information for all non-federal 

entities, GSA seeks to refine the 

requirement previously adopted, where 

a risk-based approach was used to 

justify the collection of the entity 

administrator appointment letter 

(EAAL) for all new entities, and only 

employ this method to establish an 

Entity Administrator to an existing 

entity where the previous administrator 

is no longer on staff. 

This information is essential to GSA’s 

acquisition mission to meet the needs of 

all federal agencies, as well as the needs 

of the grant community. A key element 

of GSA’s mission is to provide efficient 

and effective acquisition solutions 

across the Federal Government. SAM is 

essential to the accomplishment of that 

mission. In addition to federal contracts, 

federal assistance programs also rely 

upon the integrity and security of the 

information in SAM. Without 

assurances that the information in SAM 

is protected and is at minimal risk of 

compromise, GSA would risk losing the 

confidence of the federal acquisition 

and assistance communities that it 

serves. As a result, some entities may 

prefer not to do business with the 

federal government. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 139,027. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 139,027. 

Hours per Response: .5. 

Total Burden Hours: 69,513. 

The information collection allows 

GSA to request the notarized letter and 

apply this approach to individuals who 

seek to become the Entity Administrator 

for an entity record in SAM.gov when 

there is no Entity Administrator 

appointed for that entity in the system. 

Individuals seeking administrator 

access to entity records in SAM are 

provided the template for the 

requirements of the notarized letter. It is 

estimated that the individual will take 

an average 0.5 hours to create the letter 

and 0.25 hours to upload the letter to 

the Federal Service Desk. GSA proposes 

that an individual equivalent to a GS– 

5, Step 5 Administrative Support person 

within the government would perform 

these tasks. The estimated hourly rate of 

$25.06 (Base + Locality + Fringe) was 

used for the calculation. 

Based on historical data of the ratio of 

small entities to other than small 

entities that exist in SAM, GSA 

approximates 58,500 of the 90,000 

annual entities who do not have an 

individual with the Entity 

Administrator role will have in-house 

resources to notarize documents. GSA 

proposes that the entities with in-house 

notaries will typically be large 

businesses where the projected salary of 

the executive or officer responsible for 

signing the notarized letter is, on 

average, approximately $150 per hour. 

The projected time for signature and 

notarizing the letter internally is 0.5 

hours. 

The other remaining 31,500 entities 

per year are estimated to be small 

entities where the projected salary of the 

executive or officer responsible for 

signing the notarized letter is, on 

average, approximately $100 per hour. 

These entities will likely have to obtain 

notary services from an outside source. 

The projected time for signature and 

notarizing the letter externally is 1 hour. 

The estimate includes a nominal fee 

($5.00) usually charged by third-party 

notaries.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Inv. No. 337–TA–1434] 

Certain Composite Intermediate Bulk 

Containers; Institution of Investigation 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 

complaint was filed with the U.S. 

International Trade Commission on 

December 5, 2024, under section 337 of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, on 

behalf of Schu ̈tz Container Systems, Inc. 

of North Branch, New Jersey and 

Protechna S.A. of Fribourg, Switzerland. 

The complaint was supplemented on 

December 20, 2024. The complaint, as 

supplemented, alleges violations of 

section 337 based upon the importation 

into the United States, the sale for 

importation, and the sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain composite intermediate bulk 

containers by reason of the infringement 

of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 

9,718,581 (‘‘the ’581 patent’’); U.S. 

Patent No. 8,708,150 (‘‘the ’150 patent’’); 

U.S. Patent No. 8,919,562 (‘‘the ’562 

patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 8,567,626 (‘‘the 

’626 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 9,004,310 

(‘‘the ’310 patent’’); and U.S. Patent No. 

8,276,299 (‘‘the’299 patent’’). The 

complaint further alleges that an 

industry in the United States exists as 

required by the applicable Federal 

Statute. The complainant requests that 

the Commission institute an 

investigation and, after the 

investigation, issue a general exclusion 

order, in the alternative a limited 

exclusion order, and cease and desist 

orders. 

ADDRESSES: The complaint, except for 

any confidential information contained 

therein, may be viewed on the 

Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) 

at https://edis.usitc.gov. For help 

accessing EDIS, please email 

EDIS3Help@usitc.gov. Hearing impaired 

individuals are advised that information 

on this matter can be obtained by
