SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) Subpart 4.11 prescribes policies 

and procedures for requiring contractor 

registration in the Central Contractor 

Registration (CCR) database. The CCR is 

the primary vendor database for the U.S. 

Federal Government. CCR collects, 

validates, stores, and disseminates data 

in support of agency acquisition 

missions. 

Both current and potential Federal 

Government vendors are required to 

register in CCR in order to be awarded 

contracts by the Federal Government. 

Vendors are required to complete a onetime registration to provide basic 

information relevant to procurement 

and financial transactions. Vendors 

must update or renew their registration 

at least once per year to maintain an 

active status. 

The CCR validates the vendor 

information and electronically share the 

secure and encrypted data with Federal 

agency finance offices to facilitate 

paperless payments through electronic 

funds transfer. Additionally, CCR shares 

the data with Federal Government 

procurement and electronic business 

systems. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 110,350. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 110,350. 

Hours per Response: 1.7141. 

Total Burden Hours: 189,151. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and 

whether it will have practical utility; 

whether our estimate of the public 

burden of this collection of information 

is accurate, and based on valid 

assumptions and methodology; ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

ways in which we can minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

the use of appropriate technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

FAR 22.501 prescribes policies and 

procedures to implement Executive 

Order 13502, February 6, 2009 which 

encourages Federal agencies to consider 

the use of a project labor agreement 

(PLA), as they may decide appropriate, 

on large-scale construction projects, 

where the total cost to the Government 

is more than $25 million, in order to 

promote economy and efficiency in 

Federal procurement. A PLA is a prehire collective bargaining agreement 

with one or more labor organizations 

that establishes the terms and 

conditions of employment for a specific 

construction project. FAR 22.503(b) 

provides that an agency may, if 

appropriate, require that every 

contractor and subcontractor engaged in 

construction on the project agree, for 

that project, to negotiate or become a 

party to a project labor agreement with 

one or more labor organizations if the 

agency decides that the use of project 

labor agreements will— 

(1) Advance the Federal Government’s 

interest in achieving economy and 

efficiency in Federal procurement,

regulations governing safety and health, 

equal employment opportunity, labor 

and employment standards, and other 

matters; and, 

(2) Be consistent with law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The FAR clause at 52.236–13, 

Accident Prevention, requires Federal 

construction contractors to keep records 

of accidents incident to work performed 

under the contract that result in death, 

traumatic injury, occupational disease 

or damage to property, materials, 

supplies or equipment. Records of 

personal inquiries are required by the 

Department of Labor’s (DOL) 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration regulations (OSHA). The 

records maintained by the contractor are 

used to evaluate compliance and may be 

used in workmen’s compensation cases. 

The Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) requires records of damage to 

property, materials, supplies or 

equipment to provide background 

information when claims are brought 

against the Government. 

If the contract involves work of a long 

duration, or hazardous nature, the 

contracting officer shall insert the clause 

with its alternate that requires the 

contractor to submit a written proposed 

plan for implementing the clause. The 

plan shall include an analysis of the 

significant hazards to life, limb, and 

property inherent in performing the 

contract and a plan for controlling the 

hazards. The Accident Prevention Plan 

(APP) is analyzed by the contracting 

officer along with the agency safety 

representatives to determine if the 

proposed plan will meet the 

requirements of safety regulations and 

applicable statutes. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 215. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 215.

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary; whether it will 

have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways in 

which we can minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, through the use of 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology.
