SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Administration invites the general 

public and Federal agencies to comment 

on a new information collection request 

for the collection of personal data to 

authorize and initiate investigation 

requests for GSA temporary contractors. 

[xx] GSA requires OMB approval for 

this collection to ensure that contractors 

meet eligibility requirements. The 

approval is critical for GSA to meet the 

anticipated increase in number of 

temporary contractors as a result of the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5). In the 

Federal Register Notice published at 74

176T will be withdrawn in a subsequent 

Federal Register Notice.] 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical 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. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before: 

July 14, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The U.S. Government conducts 

criminal checks to establish that 

applicants or incumbents working for 

the Government under contract may 

have unescorted access to GSAcontrolled facilities. GSA will use the 

Temporary Contractor Information 

Worksheet and the FBI Form FD–258 

Fingerprint Card to conduct an FBI 

National Criminal History Check 

(NCHC) for each temporary contractor 

(working on contract for six (6) months 

or less and require physical access only) 

to determine eligibility to work on GSA 

contracts including those awarded 

under the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5). GSA is anticipating a large 

influx in temporary contractors due to 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Guidance M–05–24 for 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive (HSPD) 12 authorizes Federal 

departments and agencies to ensure that 

temporary contractors have limited/ 

controlled access to facilities and 

information systems. GSA Directive CIO 

P 2181.1 Homeland Security 

Presidential Directive-12 Personal 

Identity Verification and Credentialing 

(available at http://www.gsa.gov/ 

hspd12) states that GSA temporary 

contractors must undergo a minimum of 

an FBI National Criminal History Check 

(NCHC) to receive unescorted physical 

access. Temporary contractors’ Social 

Security Number is needed to keep 

records accurate, because other people 

may have the same name and birth date. 

Executive Order 9397 Numbering 

System for Federal Accounts Relating to 

Individual Persons also allows Federal 

agencies to use this number to help 

identify individuals in agency records. 

GSA describes how information will be 

maintained in the Privacy Act system of 

record notice published in the Federal 

Register at 73 FR 35690 on June 24, 

2008. 

This is a request to collect new 

information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Warren Blankenship, Procurement 

Analyst, Contract Policy Division, GSA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Incentive contracts are normally used 

when a firm fixed-price contract is not 

appropriate and the required supplies or 

services can be acquired at lower costs, 

and sometimes with improved delivery 

or technical performance, by relating the 

amount of profit or fee payable under 

the contract to the contractor’s 

performance. 

The information required periodically 

from the contractor, such as cost of work 

already performed, estimated costs of 

further performance necessary to 

complete all work, total contract price 

for supplies or services accepted by the 

Government for which final prices have 

been established, and estimated costs 

allocable to supplies or services 

accepted by the Government and for 

which final prices have not been 

established, is needed to negotiate the 

final prices of incentive-related items 

and services. 

The contracting officer evaluates the 

information received to determine the 

contractor’s performance in meeting the 

incentive target and the appropriate 

price revision, if any, for the items or 

services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authorized by section 319C–2 of the 

Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as 

amended by the Pandemic and AllHazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA) 

(Pub. L. 109–417), the HPP is a 

cooperative agreement program funded 

and administered by the Assistant 

Secretary for Preparedness and 

Response (ASPR). Its purpose is to 

improve surge capacity and enhance 

community and hospital preparedness 

for public health emergencies. Currently 

there are 62 awardees comprised of the 

50 States; the District of Columbia; the 

three metropolitan areas of New York 

City, Los Angeles County and Chicago; 

the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and 

the Northern Mariana Islands; the 

territories of American Samoa, Guam 

and the U.S. Virgin Islands; the 

Federated States of Micronesia; and the 

Republics of Palau and the Marshall 

Islands. 

Since the inception of the program in 

2002, awardees have received funding 

through a statutory formula that 

employs a base allocation with an 

adjustment for population. PAHPA 

amended section 319C–1 and 319C–2 of 

the PHS Act to add certain 

accountability provisions. 

Consistent with those accountability 

provisions, a notice appeared in the 

Federal Register on May 16, 2008, (73
