[[Page 52275]]

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5135.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: .5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2434 hours.
    General Description of Collection: This is a collection of 
information involving the submission of various forms by contractors 
doing business with the FDIC.
    FDIC Form 3700/59, Fair Inclusion of Minorities and Women, is a 
contract clause implementing Section 342 (c)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall 
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (12 U.S.C. 5452). The 
contract clause seeks a commitment from an FDIC Contractor to ensure, 
to the maximum extent possible consistent with applicable law, the fair 
inclusion of minorities and women in its workforce and the workforces 
of its applicable subcontractors. Further, the clause asserts the 
FDIC's right to request documentation from the Contractor that 
demonstrates the Contractor's good faith effort to include minorities 
and women in its workforce and subcontractors' workforces, and requires 
the Contractor to annually certify that it has made such good faith 
efforts.
    FDIC Form 3700/04A, Contractor Representations and Certification, 
must be completed by any offeror that responds to a solicitation for an 
award over $100,000. The Form is being revised to add two 
certifications, ``Certification Regarding Fair Inclusion of Minorities 
and Women'' and ``Representation by Corporations Regarding an Unpaid 
Delinquent Federal Tax Liability.'' The ``Certification Regarding Fair 
Inclusion of Minorities and Women'' implements Sec.  342 of the Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (12 U.S.C. 5452) 
and requires an offeror to certify to its commitment to equal 
opportunity in employment and contracting and that it has made and will 
continue to make a good faith effort to ensure, to the maximum extent 
possible, the fair inclusion of minorities and women in its workforce 
and in the workforce of its applicable subcontractors. The 
``Representation by Corporations Regarding an Unpaid Delinquent Federal 
Tax Liability'' implements Section 744 of Division E, Title VII, of the 
Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 
113-235)), by requiring an offeror to represent whether it is or is not 
``a corporation that has any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been 
assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been 
exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner 
pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting 
the tax liability.''
