General Description of Collection: The 

collection involves the submission of 

information on various forms by 

contractors who wish to do business, 

have done business, or are currently 

under contract with the FDIC. The 

information is used to: ensure 

compliance with established contractor 

ethics regulations (12 CFR Part 366); 

obtain information on a contractor’s past 

performance for proposal evaluation 

purposes; review a potential lessor’s 

fitness and integrity prior to entering 

into a lease transaction; and perform 

background investigations on 

contractors and contractor personnel. 

Current Action: The FDIC is 

proposing to modify three of the forms 

in the Acquisition Services Information 

Requirements collection: Contractor 

Representations and Certifications, 

Form 3700/4A; Integrity and Fitness 

Representations, Form 3700/12; and 

Leasing Representations and 

Certifications, Form 3700/44. 

Specifically, in Form 3700/4A, 

Contractor Representations and 

Certifications, the FDIC is proposing 

elimination of the ‘‘Duplication of Cost’’ 

representation as unnecessary; removal 

of the ‘‘Clean Air and Water 

Certification’’ based on its removal from 

the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) in response to a recommendation 

by the Environmental Protection 

Agency; modification of the ‘‘Small 

Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Concern 

Certification’’ to reflect the Small 

Business Administration’s recent 

announcement that it will discontinue 

SDB certifications; modification of the 

‘‘Equal Opportunity Certification’’ and 

the ‘‘Certification and Disclosure 

Regarding Payments to Influence 

Certain Federal Transactions’’ to mirror 

related FAR provisions; and substitution 

of an offeror’s Data Universal 

Numbering System (DUNS) number for 

the previously requested Tax 

Identification Number (TIN) in the 

‘‘Signature’’ section of the form. In Form 

3700/12, Integrity and Fitness 

Representations, the FDIC proposes to 

insert a sentence in the preamble 

referencing FDIC regulations on 

Minimum Standards of Integrity and 

Fitness For an FDIC Contractor at 12 

CFR Part 366; add a ‘‘Retention of 

Information’’ paragraph in Section III, 

instructing contractors on the retention 

period for records; and substitute a 

contractor’s DUNS number for the 

previously requested TIN in the 

‘‘Signature’’ section of the form. Finally, 

in Form 3700/44, Leasing 

Representations and Certifications, the 

FDIC proposes to clarify and highlight 

the various certifications currently 

covered under the general heading 

‘‘Environmental Condition’’ by 

reclassifying them as certifications 

related to ‘‘Asbestos-Containing 

Materials,’’ ‘‘Water Quality,’’ ‘‘Indoor 

Air Quality,’’ and ‘‘Hazardous 

Substances.’’ 

Request for Comment 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

these collections of information are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the FDIC’s functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; (b) 

the accuracy of the estimate of the 

burden of the information collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All comments will become a matter of 

public record.
