Control No. 2030–0006, EPA ICR No.,

1038.10, expiring 9/30/2000.

Abstract: EPA requires contractors to

submit information in order to be

considered for the award of a contract.

Information requested includes: prices

for the supplies/services requested,

information on past performance,

technical and cost information, and

general financial and organizational

information. Information provided by

vendors in response to an RFP/IFB is

used to evaluate which vendor will

provide the best product in terms of

quality, timeliness, and price.

Responses to IFBs/RFPs are required to

be considered for a contract award. The

legal authority for this collection is 41

U.S.C. 253. Contractor confidential

business information submitted in

connection with an IFB or RFP response

is protected from public release in

accordance with 40 CFR 2.201 et seq.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor,

and a person is not required to respond

to, a collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number. The OMB control numbers for

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR

part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments 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.

Burden Statement: Burden estimate

for responding to IFBs is 8 hours per

submission. Annual collection by the

Agency is estimated to be 288 bids. At

an average cost of $461.30 for each

submission, the annual cost to

respondents is $132,854.40. Burden for

responding to RFPs is estimated at 251

hours per submission. Annual receipt of

proposals by the Agency is expected to

be 973. At an average cost of $14,508.10

the annual cost for RFP information

collection is estimated at $14,116,381.

The total respondent burden for both

IFBs and RFPs is 246,527 hours. Total

annual cost for IFBs and RFPs is

estimated at $14,249,235. Burden means

the total time, effort, or financial

resources expended by persons to

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or

provide information to or for a Federal

agency. This includes the time needed

to review instructions; develop, acquire,

install, and utilize technology and

systems for the purposes of collecting,

validating, and verifying information,
