Office of Procurement and Property Management

    Title: Maximum Workweek--Construction Schedule.
    OMB Control Number: 0505-0011.
    Summary of Collection: In order to obtain goods or services such as 
construction services, the United States Department of Agriculture 
(USDA), like other Federal agencies, has established agency contracting 
offices to enter into Federal contracts. These offices employ 
contracting officers, who solicit bids or offers for work from 
businesses in the private sector. When USDA contracts for construction 
services, both the contracting officer and the contractor needs to 
establish a schedule for the work. The contractor needs to ensure that 
his weekly work schedule will not conflict with the time during which 
USDA may allow him access to the work site. The contracting officer 
needs to know when the contractor will be working in order to schedule 
on-site conferences, to perform quality assurance inspections, and to 
perform compliance checks required to enforce the Davis Bacon Act (40 
U.S.C. 276a-276a-7). Such compliance checks are specifically required 
by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) to conduct employee 
interviews, to check the type of work being performed, to verify the 
number of pay classification of workers at the site, and to verify that 
posters informing workers of their rights are displayed at the site 
(FAR 22.406-7(b)). Contracting officers put the Maximum Workweek--
Construction Schedule clause in solicitations and contracts for 
construction when the contractor's access to the work site may be 
restricted to certain times of the day or week.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Office of Procurement and 
Property Management (OPPM) will collect information to determine when 
government inspectors or representatives will be needed at the site, 
and to schedule contractor access to the work site. The information is 
not collected unless the contracting officer anticipates problems with 
contractor access or scheduling government inspections. If the 
information were not collected, contracting offices would be unable to 
allocate contract administration resources efficiently.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 400.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 100.

Office of Procurement and Property Management

    Title: Instructions for the Preparation of Technical and Business 
Proposals.
    OMB Control Number: 0505-0013.
    Summary of Collection: In order to obtain goods or services, the 
United States Department of Agriculture, like other Federal agencies, 
has established agency contracting offices to enter into Federal 
contracts. These offices employ contracting officers, who use various 
methods to award contracts for good or services. One method prescribed 
by Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR) is 
contracting by negotiation. In contracting by negotiation, contracting 
officers issue solicitations to request offers for required products or 
services from businesses in the private sector. Together with the 
solicitation document, the offeror's cost proposal and its technical 
and business proposals constitute the offer submitted to the 
contracting office for evaluation and acceptance. The technical 
proposal, together with the offeror's pricing, is needed to select the 
offeror who will be awarded a contract. The Agriculture Acquisition 
Regulation (AGAR) (48 CFR ch.4) prescribes the provision titled 
Instructions for the Preparation of Technical and Business Proposals) 
(48 CFR 452.215-71) helds an offeror preparing a proposal to address 
the factors on which it will be evaluated.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Office of Procurement and 
Property Management (OPPM) will collect information to evaluate and 
determine the feasibility of the offeror's managaement, technical 
approach, and offered cost/price to provide the services and/or 
supplies required, if awarded a contract. If the information were not 
collected, OPPM would be unable to obtain goods and services required 
for its daily operations.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-
profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 3,600.

Office of Procurement and Property Management

    Title: Brand Name or Equal Provision and Clause.
    OMB Control Number: 0505-0014.
    Summary of Collection: In order to obtain goods or services, the 
United States Department of Agriculture, like other Federal agencies, 
has established agency contracting offices to enter into Federal 
contracts. The Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR ch. 4) and 
the (48 CFR 411.171), provision (48 CFR 452.211-70), and a clause (48 
452.211-71) permits the use of ``brand name or equal'' purchase 
descriptions to procure commercial products. Such descriptions require 
the offeror on a supply procurement to identify the ``equal'' item 
being offered and to indicate how that item meets the salient 
characteristics stated in the purchase description. The use of brand 
name or equal descriptions eliminates the need for bidders or offerors 
to read and interpret detailed specifications or purchase descriptions.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Office of Procurement and 
Property Management (OPPM) will collect information to determine from 
the descriptive information furnished whether the offered ``equal'' 
item meet the salient characteristics of the Government's requirements. 
If information were not collected, OPPM would spend more time 
developing purchase descriptions and offerors would spend more time 
reading and interpreting the purchase descriptions.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 26,678.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,668.

Office of Procurement and Property Management

    Title: Procurement: Key Personnel Clause.
    OMB Control Number: 0505-0015.
    Summary of Collection: In order to obtain goods or services, the 
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), like other Federal 
agencies, has established agency contracting offices to enter into 
Federal contracts. These offices employ contracting officers, who issue 
solicitations to request offers (proposals) for required products or 
services from businesses in the private sector. When USDA wishes to 
acquire research and development services (R&D), information technology 
(IT) design or support services, or advisory and assistance services, 
it must consider the capabilities of the personnel who the contractor 
assigns to the job. The contributions of certain contractor employees 
may be critical to the success of the work. Such employees are 
designated as ``Key Personnel.'' The Agriculture Acquisition Regulation 
(48 CFR ch.4) (48 CFR 437.110) and 48 CFR 452.237-74) prescribes the 
Key Personnel clause to collect information about key contractor 
personnel. The contracting officer uses the Key Personnel clause to 
require the contractor to inform USDA, if a key person will no longer 
be available to perform work on the contract. Contractors whose 
contracts include the key personnel clause are required to notify the 
contracting officer about proposed substitutions for key personnel 
identified in the contract.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Office of Procurement and 
Property Management (OPPM) will collect information to determine 
whether the departure of a key person from the contractor's staff could 
jeopardize contract performance and to determine what accommodations or 
remedies may be taken. If the OPPM could not obtain information about 
departing key personnel, it could not ensure that qualified personnel 
continue to perform contract work.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Non-for-
profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 300.

Office of Procurement and Property Management

    Title: Progress Reporting Clause.
    OMB Control Number: 0505-0016.
    Summary of Collection: In order to obtain goods or services, the 
United States Department of Agriculture, like other Federal agencies, 
has established agency contracting offices to enter into Federal 
contracts. These offices employ contracting officers, who request bids 
or offers for work from businesses in the private sector using 
solicitations. In order to administer contracts for research and 
development services (R&D), or for advisory and assistance services 
(AAS), contracting officers need information about contractor progress 
in performing the contracts. The Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (48 
CFR ch.4) (48 CFR 437.270(a)) and (48 CFR 452.237-76) prescribe the 
Progress Reporting Clause to collect information about contractor 
progress. Contracting officers include the Progress reporting Clause in 
R&D and AAS contracts to obtain information from the contractors about 
their performance.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Office of Procurement and 
Property Management will collect information to compare actual progress 
and expenditures to anticipated performance and contractor 
representations on which the award was based. The information alerts 
the agency of technical problems; the need for additional staff 
resources or finding; and the probability of timely completion within 
the contract cost or price. If the contracting officers could not 
obtain progress report information, they would have to physically 
monitor the contractor's operation on a day-to-day basis throughout the 
performance period.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Non-for-
profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Quarterly; Monthly.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,400.

Foreign Agricultural Service

    Title: Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers (TAA).
    OMB Control Number: 0551-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Trade Act of 2002 (HR 3009) (Pub. L. 
107-210), signed into law on August 6, 2002, established a Trade 
Adjustment Assistance Program (TAA) for farmers. The primary objective 
of this new program is to provide technical and cash assistance to 
producers of raw agricultural commodities in cases where increased 
imports of a like or directly competitive product have contributed 
importantly to declines in domestic prices over a specified period of 
time.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Foreign Agricultural Service 
(FAS) will collect information to permit producers to petition and 
apply for program benefits. The information is needed to determine 
eligibility to obtain benefits under the new program providing trade 
adjustment assistance for farmers and to ascertain the amount of 
payments an adversely affected producer is entitled to receive. The 
information collected will provide essential data and economic 
information for use by the FAS, Farm Service Agency, Economic Research 
Service, Extension Service, and other agencies within the Department.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Not-for-profit; Business or 
other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 500.

Applicant must be unable to obtain commercial credit or recover from 
the disaster and meet the specific eligibility and repayment 
requirements. FSA will collect information to evaluate requests for a 
Secretarial natural disaster designation.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSA will collect information to 
determine whether sufficient losses have been suffered to warrant a 
Secretarial natural disaster designation, determine whether extenuating 
circumstances exist to grant a natural disaster designation under the 
Secretary's discretionary authority. The information will be used by 
FSA to process State Governor requests for Secretarial natural disaster 
designations.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Federal Government; State, Local 
or Tribal Government.

    Title: Federal Collection Methods for Food Stamp Program Recipient 
Claims.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0446.
    Summary of Collection: The Debt Collection Improvement (DCIA), Food

Risk Management Agency

    Title: Multiple Peril Crop Insurance.
    OMB Control Number: 0563-0053.
    Summary of Collection: Previous amendments to the Federal Crop

[[Page 49425]]

Insurance Act expanded the role of the crop insurance program to be the 
principal tool for risk management by producers of farm products and 
provided that crop insurance program operate on an actuarially sound 
basis, provided for independent review of crop insurance products by 
person experienced as actuaries and in underwriting, and required that 
the crop insurance program operate on an actuarially sound basis. To 
meet these goals, existing crop programs must be improved and expanded, 
new crop products developed, and new insurance concepts studied for 
possible implementation. Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) 
offers a Standard Reinsurance Agreement to eligible crop insurance 
companies under which FCIC will use data elements instead of standards 
forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: FCIC requires crop acreage 
information to be submitted to the insurance agent by each producer on 
or before a specific date. The basic provision for the reporting of 
acreage covers information such as the name of the crop, the number of 
timely planted acres, person sharing in the crop, location of the 
acreage, etc. This information is used to determine liability, premium 
and subsidy. Federal agencies, Risk Management Agency, crop insurance 
companies reinsured by FCIC, and other agencies that require such 
information in the performance of their duties may use this 
information. If the information were not collected by specified dates, 
the producers may not have insurance coverage or the amount of 
insurance may be reduced and the crop insurance program would not be 
administered in an actuarially sound manner.
