Act--One-Time Reporting Requirements for First-Tier Subcontractors

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration

ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding an extension to an 
existing OMB clearance (9000-0167).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Regulatory 
Secretariat, will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently 
approved information collection requirement concerning the American 
Recovery and Reinvestment Act--One-time Reporting Requirements for 
First-tier Subcontractors. A request for public comments was published 
in the Federal Register at 74 FR 14639, on March 31, 2009.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, 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; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before May 10, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other 
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for 
reducing this burden to: FAR Desk Officer, OMB, Room 10102, NEOB, 
Washington, DC 20503, and a copy to the Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 
General Services Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Room 4041, 
Washington, DC 20405. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0167, American 
Recovery and Reinvestment Act--one-time Reporting Requirements for 
First-tier Subcontractors, in all correspondence.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ernest Woodson, Procurement 
Analyst, Contract Policy Branch, at telephone (202) 501-3775 or via e-
mail to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    One-time reporting elements for which the burden is imposed only on 
the first-tier subcontractor include the following:
    a. Unique identifier (DUNS Number) for the subcontractor receiving 
the award and for the subcontractor's parent company, if the 
subcontractor has a parent company ((i)(4)(i));
    b. Subcontractor's physical address including street address, city, 
state, and country. Also include the nine-digit zip code and 
congressional district if applicable ((i)(4)(vii)); and
    c. Subcontract primary performance location including street 
address, city, state, and country. Also include the nine-digit zip code 
and congressional district if applicable ((i)(4)(viii)).
    The Government expects that most first-tier subcontractors will 
have a DUNS number. However, if a company has never received nor 
anticipated a Government contract, it would be required to register for 
a DUNS number which is not an onerous process and can be done online or 
by phone using information a company would have on hand for business 
purposes.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 73,360.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.25.
    Total Annual Reponses: 91,700.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 22,925.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1800 F Street, NW., Room 
4041, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 9000-0167, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act--One-time 
Reporting Requirements for First-tier Subcontractors, in all 
correspondence.
