SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0029, Extraordinary Contractual 

Action Requests. 

B. Need and Uses 

This justification supports an 

extension of OMB Control No. 9000– 

0029. This clearance covers the 

information that contractors must 

submit to comply with the following 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

requirements: 

FAR 50.103–3, Contract Adjustment. 

FAR 50.103–3 specifies the minimum 

information that a contractor must 

include when seeking a contract 

adjustment that would facilitate the 

national defense, as set forth in Public 

Law 85–804. The request, normally a 

letter, shall state as a minimum— 

(1) The precise adjustment requested; 

(2) The essential facts, summarized 

chronologically in narrative form; 

(3) The contractor’s conclusions based 

on these facts, showing, in terms of the 

considerations set forth in FAR 50.103– 

1 and 50.103–2, when the contractor 

considers itself entitled to the 

adjustment; and 

(4) Whether or not— 

(i) All obligations under the contracts 

involved have been discharged; 

(ii) Final payment under the contracts 

involved has been made; 

(iii) Any proceeds from the request 

will be subject to assignment or other 

transfer, and to whom; and 

(iv) The contractor has sought the 

same, or a similar or related, adjustment 

from the Government Accountability 

Office or any other part of the 

Government, or anticipates doing so. 

If the request exceeds the simplified 

acquisition threshold, the contractor 

must certify that the request is made in 

good faith and the data are accurate and 

complete. 

FAR 50.103–4, Facts and Evidence. 

FAR 50.103–4 sets forth additional 

information that the contracting officer 

or other agency official may request 

from the contractor to support any 

request made under FAR 50.103–3. 

FAR 50.104–3 Special Procedures for 

Unusually Hazardous or Nuclear Risks. 

FAR 50.104–3 provides the information 

a contractor shall submit to the 

contracting officer when requesting the 

inclusion of the indemnification clause 

for unusually hazardous or nuclear risks 

at FAR 52.250–1. 

FAR 52.250–1, Indemnification Under 

Public Law 85–804. This clause allows 

contractors to be indemnified against 

unusually hazardous or nuclear risks. 

Paragraph (g) requires the contractor to 

promptly notify the contracting officer 

and furnish pertinent information for 

any claim or loss that may involve 

indemnification under the clause. 

This information is used by the 

Government to determine if relief can be 

granted to the contractor and to 

determine the appropriate type and 

amount of relief.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. 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; 

2. 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; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; 

4. 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 submissions of 

responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

National HIV Behavioral Surveillance: 

Brief HIV Bio-behavioral Assessment 

(NHBS–BHBA)—New—National Center 

for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The purpose of this data collection is 

to monitor behaviors of populations at 

high risk for Human Immunodeficiency 

Virus (HIV) infection using mixedmethods in selected geographic areas in 

the United States which lack 

biobehavioral data related to HIV 

transmission and prevention. 

Preventing HIV, especially among 

populations at high risk, is an effective 

strategy for reducing individual, local, 

and national healthcare costs. The 

utility of this information is to provide 

CDC and health department staff with 

data for evaluating progress towards 

state public health goals, such as 

reducing new HIV infections, increasing 

the use of condoms, and focusing on 

populations at high risk by describing 

and monitoring the HIV risk behaviors, 

HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and 

HIV prevention experiences of persons 

at highest risk for HIV infection. Data 

will be systematically collected using 

mixed methods of quantitative and 

qualitative interviews. Brief screening 

interviews will be used to determine 

eligibility for participation in the 

quantitative and qualitative interviews. 

Project teams will conduct brief 

standardized quantitative interviews 

and anonymous HIV blood-based rapid 

testing and supplemental testing to 

those who participate in quantitative 

data collection to assess HIV 

seroprevalence. The data from the 

quantitative interviews will provide 

estimates of: (1) Behavior related to the 

risk of HIV and other sexually 

transmitted diseases, (2) prior testing for 

HIV, and (3) use of HIV prevention 

services. HIV screening results will be 

made available to participants, and 

those with preliminary positive test 

results will be linked to HIV care. 

Qualitative data collection includes key 

informant interviews with community 

members and professionals familiar 

with the population and focus groups to 

interpret standardized quantitative 

findings and inform grantee-developed 

recommendations for state/local public 

health partners. The data from 

qualitative interviews will be used to 

interpret standardized quantitative 

findings and inform recipient-developed 

recommendations for state and local 

public health authorities. No other 

federal agency collects this type of 

information in the populations at high 

risk in these selected geographic areas 

using mixed methods of quantitative 

and qualitative interviews. 

CDC estimates that during 

quantitative interviewing, 1338 

individuals will complete the 

quantitative base eligibility screener, 

1204 will complete the quantitative 

population eligibility screener, and 338 

will be either not interested or 

ineligible, yielding a total of 1,000 

eligible respondents over a 12-month 

period. Because HIV testing is a clinical 

procedure, it is not included in the 

burden estimates. For qualitative data 

collection, approximately 96 

individuals will complete the eligibility 

screener, 16 of the respondents will be 

either not interested in completing a 

qualitative interview, or will be 

ineligible, yielding a total of 80 eligible 

respondents over a 12-month period. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 497 annual burden hours. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary, and there are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

National Vital Statistics Report Form 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0213, Exp. 10/ 

31/2023)—Revision—National Center 

for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The compilation of national vital 

statistics dates back to the beginning of 

the 20th Century and has been 

conducted since 1960 by the Division of 

Vital Statistics of the National Center for 

Health Statistics (NCHS), CDC. The 

collection of this data is authorized by 

42 U.S.C. 242k, and this submission 

requests to continue use of the Annual 

Vital Statistics Report Form for 

collection of annual marriage and 

divorce/annulment summary statistics 

for three years. Additionally, this 

Revision requests to discontinue the 

Monthly Vital Statistics Report, which 

is currently used to provide counts of 

monthly occurrences of births, deaths, 

and infant deaths. The collection of the 

provisional birth and death data is now 

being achieved on a more timely, 

ongoing basis which negates the need to 

continue to use the monthly form. 

Continued use of the Annual Vital 

Statistics Report Form collects final 

annual counts of marriages and divorces 

by month for the United States and for 

each State. These final counts are 

usually available from State or county 

officials about eight months after the 

end of the data year. The data are 

widely used by the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), and 

other government, academic, private 

research, and commercial organizations 

in tracking changes in trends of family 

formation and dissolution. Respondents 

for the Annual Vital Statistics Reports 

Form are registration officials in all 50 

States, seven U.S. Territories, including 

American Samoa, Guam, Northern 

Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin 

Islands, the District of Columbia, and 

New York City, as well as the 33 local 

(county clerk) officials in New Mexico 

who record marriages occurring and 

divorces and annulments granted in 

each county of New Mexico. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 46 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time to participate.
