General description of collection: The 

Board’s Regulation H requires SMBs 

whose securities are subject to 

registration pursuant to the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) to 

disclose certain information to 

shareholders and securities exchanges 

and to report information relating to 

their securities to the Board using forms 

adopted by the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (SEC) and in compliance 

with certain rules and regulations 

adopted by the SEC. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The FR H–1 is 

authorized under sections 12(c) and 

23(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The FR H– 

1 is also authorized by section 11 of the 

Federal Reserve Act, which authorizes 

the Board to require such statements 

and reports of SMBs as the Board may 

deem necessary.1 The FR H–1 is 

mandatory for SMBs whose securities 

are subject to registration pursuant to 

the Exchange Act. 

Reports filed with the Board under 

the FR H–1 must be available for public 

inspection under Regulation H.2 An 

SMB may request confidential treatment 

for information contained within a 

report in accordance with the 

procedures established in Regulation 

H.3 Information may be kept 

confidential to the extent it is nonpublic 

commercial or financial information 

that is both customarily and actually 

treated as private within the meaning of 

exemption 4 of the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA). Information 

collected on the FR H–1 may also be 

kept confidential if it is obtained as part 

of an examination or supervision of a 

financial institution within the meaning 

of exemption 8 of the FOIA. 

Consultation outside the agency: The 

reporting and disclosure requirements 

discussed in this supporting statement 

were promulgated by the SEC. The 

Board has consulted with the SEC to 

confirm our coordinated burden 

estimates. 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, June 30, 2022.

Requirements

burden of the proposed information 

collection; ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

OMB has approved this information 

collection for use through October 31, 

2022. DoD, GSA, and NASA propose 

that OMB extend its approval for use for 

three additional years beyond the 

current expiration date. 

DATES: DoD, GSA, and NASA will 

consider all comments received by 

September 6, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: DoD, GSA, and NASA 

invite interested persons to submit 

comments on this collection through

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0077, Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Part 46 Requirements.

B. Need and Uses 

DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining 

OMB Control Nos. for the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR 

part. This consolidation is expected to 

improve industry’s ability to easily and 

efficiently identify burdens associated 

with a given FAR part. The review of 

the information collections by FAR part 

allows improved oversight to ensure 

there is no redundant or unaccounted 

for burden placed on industry. Lastly, 

combining information collections in a 

given FAR part is also expected to 

reduce the administrative burden 

associated with processing multiple 

information collections. 

This justification supports the 

revision of OMB Control No. 9000–0077 

and combines it with the previously 

approved information collections under 

OMB Control No. 9000–0187, with the 

new title ‘‘Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Part 46 Requirements’’. 

Upon approval of this consolidated 

information collection, OMB Control 

No. 9000–0187 will be discontinued. 

The burden requirements previously 

approved under the discontinued 

number will be covered under OMB 

Control No. 9000–0077. 

This clearance covers the information 

that contractors may be required to 

submit to comply with the following 

FAR clauses: 

• FAR Inspection Clauses 

• 52.246–2, Inspection of Supplies— 

Fixed-Price 

• 52.246–3, Inspection of Supplies— 

Cost-Reimbursement 

• 52.246–4, Inspection of Services— 

Fixed-Price 

• 52.246–5, Inspection of Services— 

Cost-Reimbursement 

• 52.246–6, Inspection—Time-andMaterial and Labor-Hour 

• 52.246–7, Inspection of Research and 

Development—Fixed-Price 

• 52.246–8, Inspection of Research and 

Development—Cost-Reimbursement 

• 52.246–12, Inspection of Construction 

These FAR clauses require the 

contractor to provide and maintain an 

inspection system that is acceptable to 

the Government, and to keep complete 

records of all inspection work 

performed and make it available to the 

Government. These clauses give the 

Government the right to inspect and test 

all work. 

Records required under these clauses 

are kept as a part of a contractor’s 

normal business operations. To ensure 

they provide a quality product or 

service, every business must have 

standards and methods for reviewing or 

inspecting the quality of their product 

or service. These standards will differ 

by industry and the complexity of the 

product or service provided. 

The Government relies on a 

contractor’s existing quality assurance 

system for contracts for commercial 

products. The Government relies on the 

contractor to accomplish all inspection 

and testing needed to ensure that 

acquired commercial services conform 

to contract requirements before they are 

tendered to the Government. See FAR 

12.208 and 46.202–1. Likewise, when 

the contract amount is expected to be 

less than the simplified acquisition 

threshold, these clauses do not apply. 

The FAR ‘‘inspection clauses’’ are 

used for quality assurance depending on 

the type of contract, or the product or 

service being provided. These clauses 

do not require the transmittal or sending 

of documentation to the Government, 

but they have record keeping 

requirements. The Government may 

review these records to confirm the 

contract quality requirements are being 

met. This review is risk-based and may 

or may not include the review of all 

quality assurance records. Generally, the 

records are more likely to be reviewed 

when the contractor is not meeting 

quality standards or as part of 

Government Contract quality assurance 

surveillance for complex requirements. 

Subject matter experts estimate these 

records are requested from 10 percent or 

fewer of contractors. 

The information is used to assure that 

supplies and services provided under 

Government contracts conform to 

contract requirements. 

• FAR 52.246–15, Certificate of 

Conformance. This clause requires the 

contractor to complete and sign a 

certificate of conformance (CoC). This 

clause is used in solicitations and 

contracts for supplies or services at the 

discretion of the contracting officer 

when it is in the Government’s interest, 

small losses would be incurred in the 

event of a defect; or because of the 

contractor’s reputation or past 

performance, or when it is likely that 

the supplies or services furnished will 

be acceptable and any defective work 

would be replaced, corrected, or 

repaired without contest. 

• FAR 52.246–26, Reporting 

Nonconforming Items. This clause 

requires contractors to provide written 

notification to the contracting officer 

within 60 days of becoming aware or 

having reason to suspect, such as 

through inspection, testing, record 

review, or notification from another 

source (e.g., seller, customer, third 

party) that any end item, component, 

subassembly, part, or material contained 

in supplies purchased by the contractor 

for delivery to, or for, the Government 

is counterfeit or suspect counterfeit. 

This clause requires certain contractors 

to submit a report to the GovernmentIndustry Data Exchange Program 

(GIDEP) system at www.gidep.org within 

60 days of becoming aware or having 

reason to suspect, such as through 

inspection, testing, record review, or 

notification from another source (e.g., 

seller, customer, third party) that an 

item purchased by the contractor for 

delivery to, or for, the Government is a 

counterfeit or suspect counterfeit item; 

or a common item that has a major or 

critical nonconformance. 

This information will be used by the 

Government to address and detect 

nonconforming and counterfeit items. 

Perhaps more important, this 

information will be available to 

businesses for searching prior to placing 

orders, thus enabling the avoidance of 

purchasing counterfeit items in the first 

place.
