SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Part 28 of the FAR contains guidance 

related to obtaining financial protection 

against damages under Government 

contracts (e.g., use of bonds, bid 

guarantees, insurance etc.). Part 52 

contains the texts of solicitation 

provisions and contract clauses. These 

regulations implement a statutory 

requirement for information to be 

provided by Federal contractors relating 

to payment bonds furnished under 

construction contracts which are subject 

to the Miller Act (40 U.S.C. 270a–270d). 

This collection requirement is mandated 

by Section 806 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 

and 1993 (Pub. L. 102–190), as amended 

by Section 2091 of the Federal 

Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 

(Pub. L. 103–335). The clause at 52.228– 

12, Prospective Subcontractor Requests 

for Bonds, implements Section 806(a)(3) 

of Public Law 102–190, as amended, 

which specifies that, upon the request of 

a prospective subcontractor or supplier 

offering to furnish labor or material for 

the performance of a construction 

contract for which a payment bond has 

been furnished to the United States 

pursuant to the Miller Act, the 

contractor shall promptly provide a 

copy of such payment bond to the 

requestor. 

In conjunction with performance 

bonds, payment bonds are used in 

Government construction contracts to 

secure fulfillment of the contractor’s 

obligations under the contract and to 

assure that the contractor makes all 

payments, as required by law, to 

persons furnishing labor or material in 

performance of the contract. This 

regulation provides prospective 

subcontractors and suppliers a copy of 

the payment bond furnished by the 

contractor to the Government for the 

performance of a Federal construction 

contract subject to the Miller Act. It is 

expected that prospective 

subcontractors and suppliers will use 

this information to determine whether 

to contract with that particular prime 

contractor. This information has been 

and will continue to be available from 

the Government. The requirement for 

contractors to provide a copy of the 

payment bond upon request to any 

prospective subcontractor or supplier 

under the Federal construction contract 

is contained in Section 806(a)(3) of 

Public Law 102–190, as amended by 

Sections 2091 and 8105 of Public Law 

103–355. 

One comment was received. The 

commenter expressed support for 

extending this information collection. 

The commenter had some concern 

because subcontractors are not receiving 

payment bonds from the prime 

contractor upon request. The Miller Act 

allows subcontractors to request a copy 

of the payment bond from the prime 

contractor. In addition, FAR 28.106–6(d) 

requires the contracting officer to 

provide a copy of the payment bond to 

subcontractors upon request. The 

commenter recommended that the 

Government consider creating an online 

system for prospective subcontractors 

and suppliers to view and print copies 

of the payment bond. At this time, the 

online system is deemed unnecessary 

because there are other alternatives 

currently in place to receive this 

information. As stated earlier, the FAR 

currently requires the contracting officer 

to provide to the subcontractor a copy 

of the payment bond upon request as 

stated in FAR 28.106(d). The 

Government is unaware of problems 

resulting from this option.

Proposed Project: An Assessment of 

the Sustainability and Impact of 

Community Coalitions Once Federal 

Funding Has Expired—OMB No. 0990– 

NEW—Assistant Secretary Planning 

Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) is requesting Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval on a new collection to conduct 

a survey of community coalitions 

formerly funded by the Community 

Access Program (CAP)/Healthy 

Communities Access Program (HCAP) to 

learn about their sustainability and 

impact post-federal funding. ASPE will 

use the CAP/HCAP experience to 

examine the long-term sustainability of 

coalitions that successfully completed 

for grant funding from the Department 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS). 

As part of the study, a one-time, selfadministered survey will be 

administered to the 260 coalitions 

funded through CAP/HCAP, providing a 

unique set of data to assess coalition 

sustainability and the factors that enable 

and hinder sustainability. The survey 

will focus on CAP/HCAP coalitions’ 

structure, funding, activities, impact, 

and outcomes post-funding. The survey 

design and content is informed by a 

review of the literature on community 

coalitions including coalition 

organization, functions, impact, and 

sustainability. Results from the survey 

will also inform the selection of sites for 

key informant interviews and site visits. 

Specifically, telephone interviews will 

occur with a subset of 20 CAP/HCAP 

coalitions that have been sustained as 

well as 20 CAP/HCAP coalitions that 

have not been sustained. The key 

informant interviews will utilize a 

structured instrument tailored to the 

coalitions’ experiences. Site visits will 

be conducted with seven coalitions that 

were sustained post-funding. Data 

collection activities will be completed 

within 18 months of OMB Clearance.

Proposed Project: Prevention and 

Wellness-Leveraging National 

Organizations—OMB No. 0990–NewOffice of Public Health and Science 

(OPHS). 

Abstract: The Office of Public Health 

and Science is requesting an approval 

by OMB on a new collection. The 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act (ARRA) Prevention and WellnessLeveraging National Organizations is a 

cooperative agreement program 

authorized under 42 U.S.C. 300k-1, 300, 

section 1701 of the Public Health 

Service Act, as amended. The funding 

opportunity focuses on two categories of 

activities: 

• Category A: Obesity prevention 

through improved nutrition and 

increased physical activity 

• Category B: Tobacco prevention and 

control 

The National Organizations who 

receive funding will be supporting 

Communities Putting Prevention to 

Work (CPPW)-funded communities by 

providing expertise and technical 

assistance to help implement select 

MAPPS (Media, Access, Point of 

Purchase/Promotion, Pricing, and Social 

Support and Services) strategies through 

national organizations’ systems and 

networks. The National Organizations 

will work to sustain community 

prevention efforts beyond Recovery Act 

CPPW funding and support the National 

Prevention Media Initiative through cobranding and augmenting HHSdeveloped media campaigns in 

communities. 

The outcome measures that will be 

collected from funded National 

Organizations include approval/ 

enactment of MAPPS-related policy, 

systems, and environmental change in 

physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco 

in funded communities. Since a critical 

component of the National 

Organizations is to support and assist 

CPPW-funded communities with their 

expert resources, the National 

Organizations and the CPPW-funded 

communities will share ownership of 

the same outcome measures. Because 

the National Organizations and their 

local affiliates have a distinct 

supporting role in these communityVerDate Mar<15>2010 17:43 Oct 08, 2010 Jkt 223001 PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12OCN1.SGM 12OCN1
