SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS) number is the nine-digit 

identification number assigned by Dun 

and Bradstreet Information Services to 

an establishment. The Government uses 

the DUNS number to identify 

contractors in reporting to the Federal 

Procurement Data System (FPDS). The 

FPDS provides a comprehensive 

mechanism for assembling, organizing, 

and presenting contract placement data 

for the Federal Government. Federal 

agencies report data on all contracts in 

excess of the micro-purchase threshold 

to the Federal Procurement Data Center 

which collects, processes, and 

disseminates official statistical data on 

Federal contracting. Contracting officers 

insert the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) provision at 52.204–6, 

Data Universal Numbering System 

(DUNS) Number, in solicitations they 

expect will result in contracts in excess 

of the micro-purchase threshold and do 

not contain FAR 52.204–7, Central 

Contractor Registration. The majority of 

offerors submit their DUNS through 

CCR as required by FAR 52.204–7, and 

not under the FAR provision at 52.204– 

6. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 22,070. 

Responses per Respondent: 3. 

Annual Responses: 66,210. 

Hours per Response: .1666. 

Total Burden Hours: 11,031. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2016 / Notices 6861 

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. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from

Background: The Administrator of the 

General Services Administration 

established the Committee on June 20, 

2011 (Federal Register/Vol. 76, No. 

118), pursuant to Section 494 of the 

Energy Independence and Security Act 

of 2007 (EISA, 42 U.S.C. 17123). Under 

this authority, the Committee advises 

GSA on the rapid transformation of the 

Federal building portfolio to sustainable 

technologies and practices. The 

Committee reviews strategic plans, 

products, and activities of the Office of 

Federal High-Performance Green 

Buildings, and provides advice 

regarding how the Office can 

accomplish its mission most effectively. 

The Green Leasing task group will 

pursue the Committee’s motion to 

‘‘provide recommendations to improve 

federal government leasing language 

and requirements regarding . . . 

sustainability goals.’’ 

The conference calls will allow the 

task group to coordinate the 

development of consensus 

recommendations to the full Committee, 

which will in turn decide whether to 

proceed with formal advice to GSA 

based upon these recommendations. 

The task group will provide 

recommendations in support of GSA’s 

development of model commercial 

leasing provisions, a requirement of the 

Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 

2015 (42 U.S.C. 17062).
