32164 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 7, 2009 / Notices 

A. Purpose 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

Subpart 23.10, implements Executive 

Order (E.O.) 13148 of April 21, 2000, 

Greening the Government through 

Leadership in Environmental 

Management, and it also provides a 

means for agencies to obtain contractor 

information for the implementation of 

environmental management systems 

(EMSs) and the completion of facility 

compliance audits (FCAs) at certain 

Federal facilities. This information 

collection will be accomplished by 

means of Alternates I and II to FAR 

clause 52.223–5. Alternate I of 52.223– 

5 require contractors to provide 

information needed by a Federal facility 

to implement an EMS and Alternate II 

of 52.223–5 requires contractors to 

complete an FCA. FAR Subpart 23.10 

and its associated contract clause at 

FAR 52.223–5 also implement the 

requirements of E.O. 13148 to require 

that Federal Facilities comply with the 

planning and reporting requirements of 

the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 

1990 (42 U.S.C. 13101–13109), and the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 (42 

U.S.C. 11001–11050). The E.O.requires 

that contracts to be performed on a 

Federal facility provide for the 

contractor to supply to the Federal 

agency all information the Federal 

agency deems necessary to comply with 

these reporting requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Price, performance, and/or

(i) Sets forth circumstances under 

which a Government contractor must 

submit for approval by the contracting 

officer a make-or-buy program, i.e., a 

written plan identifying major items to 

be produced or work efforts to be 

performed in the prime contractor’s 

facilities and those to be subcontracted; 

(ii) Provides guidance to contracting 

officers concerning the review and 

approval of the make-or-buy programs; 

and 

(iii) Prescribes the contract clause at 

FAR 52.215–9, Changes or Additions to 

Make-or-Buy Programs, which specifies 

the circumstances under which the 

contractor is required to submit for the 

contracting officer’s advance approval a 

notification and justification of any 

proposed change in the approved makeor-buy program. 

The information is used to assure the 

lowest overall cost to the Government 

for required supplies and services.
