Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collection

    Collection title: Procurement Solicitation Package.
    Collection identifier: FR 1400.
    OMB control number: 7100-0180.
    General description of collection: The Board uses the Procurement 
Solicitation Package, which includes a supplier database and 
solicitation documents as appropriate, to assist in the competitive 
process of soliciting proposals from suppliers of goods and services. 
The Procurement Solicitation Package includes the Supplier Registration 
System (FR 1400A), the Solicitation Package (Solicitation, Offer, and 
Award Form; Supplier Information Form; Past Performance Data Sheet; and 
Past Performance Questionnaire) (FR 1400B), the Supplier Risk 
Management Offeror Questionnaire (FR 1400C), and the Subcontracting 
Report (FR 1400D). The information collected through the Procurement 
Solicitation Package is necessary for Board staff to fairly and 
accurately evaluate the merits of suppliers' proposals, to select the 
proposal most advantageous to the Board, taking into account price and 
other key factors, and to award and administer contracts after a 
supplier has been selected.
    Frequency: FR 1400A/FR 1400B/FR 1400C/FR 1400E, event-generated; FR 
1400D, semiannual.
    Respondents: Businesses and individuals.
    Total estimated number of respondents: 550.
    Estimated average hours per response: FR 1400A, 0.67; FR 1400B, 81; 
FR 1400C, 7.6; FR 1400D, 0.7; FR 1400E, 0.45.
    Total estimated change in burden: 27 hours.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 24,979.
    Current actions: On September 30, 2024, the Board published a 
notice in the Federal Register (89 FR 79590) requesting public comment 
for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 1400. The Board 
proposed to clear a new, event-generated form, the Contractor Conflict 
of Interest Screening (FR 1400E). The FR 1400E will be used to screen 
potential contractors that would be conducting research pertaining to 
the Board's mission (e.g., monetary policy, financial stability, or 
supervision and regulation) and/or have access to sensitive Board 
information such as confidential supervisory information, in order to 
determine if they have any conflict of interests. The comment period 
for this notice expired on November 29, 2024. The Board did not receive 
any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, January 31, 
2025.
Benjamin W. McDonough,
Deputy Secretary and Ombuds of the Board.
