SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a) prescribes fair 
information

[[Page 68249]]

practices for how Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and 
disseminate personal information. Consistent with provisions of the 
Privacy Act of 1974, contractors that design, develop, maintain, or 
operate a system of records on individuals; require access to a system 
of records; or handle personally identifiable information, are required 
to be properly trained on the compliance requirements, applicable laws, 
and appropriate safeguards for the security and confidentiality of 
personally identifiable information. The training documentation shall 
be maintained by contractors and provided to the Government upon 
request. It is anticipated that the Government would request 
documentation only rarely.

B. Analysis of Public Comments

    Two respondents submitted public comments on the estimated annual 
burden. Analysis of the public comments for the proposed rule on areas 
other than the estimated annual burden will be addressed with the 
issuance of the final rule. The analysis of public comments on the 
estimated annual burden is summarized as follows:
    Comments: Two respondents stated that the public's Paperwork 
Reduction Act estimated annual reporting burden was understated.
    Response: The Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, 
addresses the Government's collection of information and the public's 
burden associated with any reporting or recordkeeping requirements of 
the information. The reporting burden will be minimal. Contractors will 
have to provide training documentation only rarely, i.e., when there is 
an indication of non-compliance with the privacy training requirements 
and it is necessary to review documentation in order for the Government 
to ensure effective contractor management and oversight. The 
recordkeeping requirements are minor, and are not subject to specific 
formatting or template requirements. Contractors will have to maintain 
evidence of completed privacy training. Notwithstanding the minimum 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements, the estimated annual burden 
is increased.

C. Annual Reporting Burden

    DoD, GSA, and NASA have increased the estimated annual burden from 
what was published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 63896, on October 
14, 2011, as part of a proposed rule under FAR Case 2010-013, Privacy 
Training. The increase in the total burden is attributed to the 
clarification that the reporting requirement is applicable to 
commercial-item contracts. DoD, GSA, and NASA decided that exempting 
commercial-item contracts and subcontracts would exclude a significant 
portion of Government contracts that involve the design, development, 
operation, or maintenance of a system of records on individuals and 
would therefore diminish the effectiveness of the rule.
    Therefore, DoD, GSA, and NASA estimate the annual burden associated 
with this information collection as follows:
    Respondents: 21,025.
    Responses per Respondent: 5.
    Total Annual Responses: 105,125.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 26,281.
    Obtaining Copies Of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1800 F Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB Control 
No. 9000-0182, Privacy Training, in all correspondence.

    Dated: November 7, 2014.
