SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Procurement Contracts (OMB Control No. 3038-0031). This is a
request for an extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The information collection consists of data gathered
through the use of procurement forms, specific to a contract or
contracting action, relating to solicitations, amendments to
solicitations, requests for quotations, construction contracts, awards
of contracts, performance bonds, and payment information for
individuals (vendors) or contractors engaged in providing supplies or
services, as specified in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (48 CFR
parts 1-53).
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. On June 14, 2019, the Commission
published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed extension of
this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on
the proposed extension, 84 FR 27770 (60-Day Notice). The Commission did
not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden statement: The Commission is revising its burden estimate
for this collection to reflect changed circumstances, as follows: \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The changes in the current renewal reflect the fact that
acquisition requirements change from year to year. Estimated burden
increases are also due to the Commission's higher acquisition
volume, normal inflation and fluctuations in the economy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respondents/affected entities: Vendors and contractors.
Estimated number of respondents: 758.
Estimated burden hours per response: 2 hours.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 1,516 hours.
Frequency of responses: Annually.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: August 20, 2019.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
