11660 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 41 / Thursday, March 2, 1995 / Notices

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

Title IX of the Federal Acquisition

Streamlining Act of 1994 (the Act)

amended the Office of Federal

Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 401,

et seq.) by adding new sections

regarding the establishment of a

program for the development and

implementation of a Federal Acquisition

Computer Network (hereinafter referred

to as FACNET). FACNET is to be

Governmentwide and will allow the

electronic interchange of procurement

information between the private sector

and the Federal Government and among

Federal agencies. Specific functions of

FACNET are set forth under Section 30

of the Act.

Regulatory coverage on FACNET is

included under FAR Subpart 4.5 in the

draft proposed rule (FAR case 94–770).

FAR section 4.503 will require

contractors to register on a one-time

basis with the Federal Contractor

Registration System operated by the

Defense Information Megacenter,

Columbus, Ohio, in order to conduct

business through electronic commerce

(EC) with the Federal Government.

Contractor registration information will

be collected electronically as a

prerequisite for conducting EC with the

Federal Government. The process for

collection of contractor information will

use the Federal Implementation

Conventions ANSI X12.838, Trading

Partner Profile in accordance with the

Federal Information Processing

Standards 161(FIPS). These standards

are published by the National Institute

for Standards and Technology (NIST).

The information required to be

submitted as part of contractor

registration is the same as that currently

provided by the SF 129, Solicitation

Mailing List Application; the SF 3881,

ACH vendor/Miscellaneous Payment

Enrollment Form for paper transactions.

In addition, information pertaining to a

contractor assignment of commercial

and Government entity (CAGE) code

(where applicable); electronic data

interchange (EDI) capabilities, including

ANSI X12 transaction set and version

number status for production, testing,

sending and receiving; and the

registrant’s value added network (VAN)

or value added service (VAS) electronic

communications number will also need

to be provided as part of the registration

process. Requiring information

consistent with the existing forms that

Government contractors are familiar

with simplifies the process of gathering

current, factual data to input into the

Registration System. The additional

information is information contractors

should have readily available when they

have established EC/EDI capability.

The information submitted by

contractors will permit the Megacenter

to establish a central repository for all

vendors doing business with the Federal

Government, information that will be

accessible by all Government

contracting activities. This will

eliminate the need for contractors to

submit the information to each

individual contracting activity they are

doing business with, which is the

current practice.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

Public reporting burden for this

collection of information is estimated to

average 15 minutes per response,

including the time for reviewing

instructions, searching existing data

sources, gathering and maintaining the

data needed, and completing and

reviewing the collection of information.

Send comments regarding this burden

estimate or any other aspect of this

collection of information, including

suggestions for reducing this burden, to

General Services Administration, FAR

Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW, Room

4037, Washington, DC 20405, and to the

FAR Desk Officer, Office of Information

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of

Management and Budget, Washington,

DC 20503.

The annual reporting burden is

estimated as follows: Respondents,

100,000; responses per respondent; 1;

total annual responses, 100,000;

preparation hours per response, 25; and

total response burden hours, 25,000.

C. Annual Recordkeeping Burden

The annual recordkeeping burden is

estimated as follows: Recordkeepers,

100,000; hours per recordkeeper, .25;

and total recordkeeping burden hours,

25,000.
